Towards controlling the reproductive cycle of azooxanthellate gorgonians in cul...
Filipe, JoanaThe present study compared the feeding preferences and reproduction of two species of gorgonian corals, Paramuricea grayi (Johnson, 1861) and Eunicella verrucosa (Pallas, 1766). The research objectives were to assess different feeding responses these two species, had when given different types of food, and when the feed was given additional treatments (adding yeast, blending, or both).

Adenoid bacterial colonization in a paediatric population
Subtil, João; Rodrigues, João Carlos; Reis, Lúcia; Freitas, Luís; Filipe, Joana; Santos, Alberto; Macor, Carlos; Duarte, Aida; Jordao, LuisaAdenoids play a key role in both respiratory and ear infection in children. It has also been shown that adenoidectomy improves these symptoms in this population.

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma - Surgery without pre-operative embolization?
Filipe, Joana; Matos, Teresa; Ribeiro, Helena; Tomás, Luis; Dinis, Paulo BorgesJuvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a tumour-like vascular malformation of the nasopharynx, arising from the sphenopalatine foramen.

Supracricoid partial reconstructive laryngectomy with C.H.E.P. – Department exp...
Filipe, Joana; Ribeiro, Helena; Amaral, André; Fino, Rui; Estibeiro, Hugo; Montalvão, Pedro; Magalhães, MiguelFor selected glottic and supraglottic cancers it is possible to perform conservation laryngeal surgery with supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCLP). Depending on the extension of surgical resection achieved reconstruction can be done by cricohyoidopexy (CHP) or Cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP). The possibility of speech preservation without a permanent stoma is an advantage in successful reconstructions, howeve...
