Rocha, R; Conceição, C; Gonçalves, L; Carvalho, AC; Maia, A; Martins, A; Carujo, A; Maio, A; Forra, C; Melita, C; Couto, D; Fernandes, D; Pereira, DLeishmania infantum, a zoonotic vector-born parasite, is endemic in the Mediterranean region, presenting mostly as visceral (VL), but also as cutaneous (CL) and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML). This study aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the CL and ML cases diagnosed in mainland Portugal between 2010 and 2020. Collaboration was requested from every hospital of the Portuguese National Hea...

A case of equine multicentric lymphoma: Clinical, microscopical, and molecular ...
Silva, GF; Ribeiro, TE; Cunha, R; Salas, PB; Guimarães, T; Ribeiro, MR; Barros, G; Carvalho, F; Mesquita, JR; Amorim, IBackground: Although relatively uncommon, lymphoma is the most prevalent haematopoietic neoplasia in horses, and multicentric lymphoma remains the most common presentation of the disease. The pathogenesis of equine lymphoma is still poorly understood and the diagnosis is usually confirmed at an advanced stage of the disease, compromising the prognosis. This study investigated the clinical, pathological, and mol...
Incidental versus symptomatic nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas: Are they diffe...
Guerreiro, V; Mendonça, F; Ferreira, HU; Freitas, P; Pereira, J; Bernardes, I; Pinheiro, J; Guimarães, T; Carvalho, DBackground Nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) constitute one of the most common tumours in the sellar region and are often discovered only when associated with compressive symptoms. With the frequent use of brain imaging, there has been an increase in the prevalence of incidentally discovered NFPAs.Aim We aim to determine the prevalence of incidental diagnosis with NPAs observed over a decade and compare...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Target Fusion Biopsy vs. Transrectal Ultrasound-Guid...
Guimarães, T; Gil, M; Medeiros, M; Andrade, V; Guerra, J; Pinheiro, H; Fernandes, F; Pina, J; Lopes Dias, J; Campos Pinheiro, LObjectives: The aim of this study was to com-pare the risk of International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) score upgrading between magnetic resonance imaging targeted fusion biopsy (MRI-TB) and tran-srectal ultrasound-guided biopsy (TRUS-B) in the final radical prostatectomy (RP) specimen pathological report. Materials and methods: This retrospective single center study included 51 patients with prostate...
The Impact of Multidisciplinary Team Conferences in Urologic Cancer in a Tertia...
Gil, M; Guerra, J; Andrade, V; Medeiros, M; Guimarães, T; Bernardino, R; Falcão, G; Calais da Silva, F; Campos Pinheiro, LPurpose: Multidisciplinary team (MDT) conferences are currently the standard of care in cancer patients' management. Despite evidence supporting benefits to the majority of malignancies, a paucity of data exists examining the impact in urinary and male genital cancers. This study aims to evaluate the impact of MDT conferences in urologic cancer practice. Methods: Clinical plans discussed in urologic MDT confere...
Impact of montelukast as add on treatment to the novel coronavirus pneumonia (C...
Tavares, M; Farraia, M; Silva, S; Ribeiro, AM; Severo, M; Paciência, I; Ribeiro, R; Hespanhol, V; Guimarães, T; Almeida, J; Magro, F; Sarmento, ABackground: Montelukast, a safe drug widely use in asthmatic patients, may be an adjuvant in the treatment of Covid-19, either by improving lung injury and inflammation, or by acting as an anti-viral drug. We aim to assess the efficacy and safety of montelukast as add-on treatment in patients with Covid-19. Methods: We propose a randomized, controlled, parallel, open-label trial involving 160 hospitalized adult...
Maternal high-fat high-sucrose diet and gestational exercise modulate hepatic f...
Stevanović-Silva, J; Beleza, J; Coxito, P; Pereira, S; Rocha, H; Gaspar, TB; Gärtner, F; Correia, R; Martins, MJ; Guimarães, T; Martins, S; Oliveira, PJBackground Maternal high-caloric nutrition and related gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are associated with a high-risk for developing metabolic complications later in life and in their offspring. In contrast, exercise is recognized as a non-pharmacological strategy against metabolic dysfunctions associated to lifestyle disorders. Therefore, we investigated whether gestational exercise delays the development...
Urethral leak: an unusual symptom of pudendal nerve entrapment
Ramos, SA; Guimarães, T; Bollens, RPudendal nerve (PN) entrapment is one of the most misunderstood and underdiagnosed medical conditions. It is recognized as a cause of chronic pelvic pain syndrome. However, due to the pudendal nerve's mixed composition and complex anatomy, the presenting symptoms are varied and go beyond pain, depending on the entrapment's nature, location and duration. We report a unique case of a young patient presenting with...
