Hepatite Autoimune: Um Caminho Sinuoso para o Diagnóstico
Nogueira, Jerina; Fernandes, Emanuel; Mendes, André; Pacheco Mendes, Adriano; Abdurrachid, Nuzhat; Lavadinho, IsabelA hepatite aguda representa uma comorbilidade grave e potencialmente fatal que pode conduzir à necessidade de transplante hepático. A rápida estratificação do risco e identificação do agente causal é essencial na abordagem destes casos. Na identificação etiológica da hepatite aguda, a origem autoimune é um diagnóstico de exclusão, sendo necessário excluir primariamente agentes virais e tóxicos. Apresentamos um ...
Poor intensive stroke care is associated with short-term death after spontaneou...
Martinez, Joana; Mouzinho, Maria; Teles, Joana; Guilherme, Patricia; Nogueira, Jerina; Felix, Catarina; Ferreira, Fatima; Marreiros, AnaObjectives: The case fatality from spontaneous ICH (SICH) remains high. The quality and intensity of early treatment is one of the determinants of the outcome. We aimed to study the association of early intensive care, using the Intracerebral Hemorrhage-Specific Intensity of Care Quality Metrics (IHSICQM) with the 30-day in-hospital mortality in Algarve, Portugal. Patients and Methods: analysis of prospective c...
Fine particulate air pollution and occurrence of spontaneous intracerebral hemo...
Nzwalo, Hipólito; Guilherme, Patricia; Nogueira, Jerina; Felix, Catarina; S. André, Ana; Teles, Joana; Mouzinho, Maria; Ferreira, Fatima; Marreiros, AnaObjectives:The association between short-term ambient particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm diameter (PM2.5) andspontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) occurrence is unclear. We aimed to study the association ofambient PM2.5 with occurrence of SICH in an area of low air pollution in southern Portugal.Patientsandmethods:PM2.5 levels from the 3 days before the SICH event (Lag 1, 2, 3) was compared with onecontrol perio...
Incidence and case-fatality from spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in a sout...
Nzwalo, Hipólito; Nogueira, Jerina; Félix, Catarina; Guilherme, Patrícia; Baptista, Alexandre; Figueiredo, Teresa; Ferreira, Fatima; Marreiros, AnaBackground: There is scarce information on incidence and case fatality of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) in certain regions of the world, including in Europe. There is no community-based data on SICH in Southern Portugal. Aim: To determine the incidence and early case-fatality from SICH in Algarve, the southernmost region of Portugal. Methods: The recommended criteria for stroke incidence studies w...
Intracerebral hemorrhage as a manifestation of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome...
Abreu, Pedro; Nogueira, Jerina; Rodrigues, Filipe Brogueira; Nascimento, Ana; Carvalho, Mariana; Marreiros, Ana; Nzwalo, HipólitoIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the context of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is an uncommon but potentially lethal complication after carotid revascularization for carotid occlusive disease. Information about its incidence, risk factors and fatality is scarce. Therefore, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis focusing on the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of ICH in the contex...
