Is Joint Aspiration to Rule Out Prosthetic Joint Infection Required Before ever...
Diniz, Sara Elisa; Vinha, André; Ribau, Ana; Soares, Daniel; Araújo Abreu, Miguel; Sousa, Ricardo; Diniz, Sara ElisaIntroduction: Synovial fluid investigation is the best alternative to diagnose prosthetic joint infection (PJI) before ade‐ quate microbiological/histology sampling during revision surgery. Although accurate preoperative diagnosis is certainly recommended, puncturing every patient before revision arthroplasty raises concerns about safety and feasibility issues especially in difficult to access joint (e.g., hip)...
A medallion for fortune and a virtù for pandora: Machado de Assis and Machiavelli
Soares, DanielThis paper proposes a parallel between Machado de Assis and Machiavelli. Therefore, the paper was divided into four sections. In the first, two possible relationships between Machado de Assis and philosophy are presented: a reading of non-relationship and a reading of relationship. The second part discusses Margutti's interpretation of the relationship between Machado and philosophy. In the third stage, Maia Ne...
Identifying Barriers in the Implementation of Agile Methodologies in Automotive...
Soares, Daniel; Silva, Francisco J. G.; Ramos, Sandra Cristina Faria; Kirytopoulos, Konstantinos; Sá, José Carlos; Pinto Ferreira, LuísProjects have grown into more dynamic and complex endeavors, and agile project management should be considered as a way to deal with them. This is a novel study in this field, because the implementation of agile project management in the automotive industry was not explored so far, thus, this work intended to fill this gap, by identifying barriers in the implementation of agile methodologies in project manageme...
The rare isolated adult Chaput-Tillaux fracture: two case reports and review of...
Campos Pereira, Eva; Rosa, João Maia; Diniz, Sara Elisa; Pereira, Filipa; Sapage, Rita; Soares, Daniel; Costa, LuisThe authors present two isolated chaput-tillaux fractures in an adult skeleton. A high level of suspicion is required to prevent diagnostic failure. Computerized tomography scan detects hidden fractures and enables a more detailed preoperative assessment of each case. Most of the cases reported in the literature are associated with other ankle lesions. This typical juvenile pattern is rare in the adults and ide...
Combined antibiotic therapy spacers either commercial or handmade are superior ...
Dias Carvalho, Andre; Ribau, Ana; Soares, Daniel; Santos, Ana Claudia; Abreu, Miguel; Sousa, RicardoBackground: Antibiotic-loaded spacers are often used during two-stage exchange for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) both for its mechanical properties and as a means of local antibiotic delivery. Purpose: The main goal of this study is to compare the efficacy of different options of antibiotic(s) in spacers concerning the rate of positive cultures at the second stage. Patients and Methods: We retrospectiv...
Roads as sources of heavy metals in urban areas. The Covões catchment experimen...
Ferreira, António J. D.; Soares, Daniel; Serrano, Luis; Walsh, Rory P. D.; Dias-Ferreira, Celia; Ferreira, Carla S. S.Purpose This work studies the implications of different traffic patterns for heavy metal and solid pollution generation processes following rainfall events with contrasting antecedent meteorological conditions, at a periurban catchment. The aim is to provide information on the pollution processes and their potential environmental impacts for urban areas. Materials and methods Seven campaigns were performed cove...

Meningite por Brucella
Soares, Daniel; Pinheiro, Manuel; Valente, PaulaResumo A brucelose é uma zoonose comum em todo o mundo. É muito rara a infecção directa do SNC com muito poucos casos de neurobrucelose descritos até ao momento em crianças. A existência de sintomas inespecíficos, a possibilidade de manifestações raras e a dificuldade na interpretação dos testes serológicos -podem conduzir a atrasos no diagnóstico. Apresentamos um caso em que a história epidemiológica era muito...
Tendências da Infecciologia Pediátrica nos Últimos 30 Anos — Experiência de Uma...
Martins, Paula; M Prata, Filipa; Almeida, Gabriela; Neves, Vitor; P. Prata, Cristina; Soares, Daniel; França, Jorge; G. Marques, José; Pinheiro, ManuelA ideia de que as doenças infecciosas estariam em vias de erradicação, devido aos avanços nas medidas profilácticas e terapêuticas, tem vindo a ser posta em causa pelo aparecimento de «novas» doenças e reaparecimento de outras, e pela emergência crescente de resistências aos antimicrobianos disponíveis. Apesar de, no nosso país, a mortalidade pediátrica atribuída às doenças infecciosas ter sido reduzida drastic...
