Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Breast: A Case Report

Abstract Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the breast is a very rare malignant tumor, first described in 1979 and with little over 40 cases reported in the literature. MEC of the breast is similar to its salivary equivalent, which is composed of intermediate, epidermoid and mucinous cells. It usually presents with a triple-negative immunophenotype (negative estrogen, progesterone and HER-2 receptors). Imaging c...

Congenital candidiasis - a diagnostic challenge

Abstract Introduction: Congenital candidiasis is a rare intrauterine infection characterized by vesicular and pustular skin lesions appearing in the first six days of life. Clinical case: The authors describe the case of a full-term infant presenting erythematous macules, vesicles and pustules involving the trunk and extremities and cervical burn-like dermatitis at birth. Mycological skin lesion culture was pos...

Referenciação dos Cuidados de Saúde Primários ao Serviço de Urgência de Pediatr...

Resumo Introdução: O objetivo foi caracterizar os episódios referenciados pelos cuidados de saúde primários (CSP) ao serviço de urgência (SU) do Centro Hospitalar do Médio Ave, assim como classificar a adequabilidade da referenciação. Material e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo observacional retrospetivo, incluindo todos os utentes com idade inferior a 18 anos referenciados por parte dos CSP ao SU, durante o an...

Effect of Meal Ingestion on Liver Stiffness and Controlled Attenuation Parameter

Background and Aims: Despite the increasing use of noninvasive methods for the assessment of liver fibrosis and steatosis, the effect of fasting and food intake on these parameters is not yet clear. Our aims were to evaluate the effect of food intake on liver stiffness (LS) (measured by transient elastography) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) in patients with different degrees of liver disease and hea...

Mixed Adenoneuroendocrine Tumor of the Rectum in an Ulcerative Colitis Patient

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease present a higher risk of colorectal cancer, especially patients with a high degree of disease activity. Although rare, carcinoid tumors can also be associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Mixed adenoneuroendocrine tumor is defined as a neoplasm with dual differentiation (neuroendocrine and adenoma) with each component accounting for at least 30% of the tumor. We pres...

Evaluation of Small-Bowel Patency in Crohn’s Disease: Prospective Study with a ...

Background and Purpose: Patency capsule (PC) examination is usually performed - previously to capsule endoscopy - to evaluate small-bowel patency in patients with established Crohn’s disease (CD). The reported PC retention rate is significantly higher than expected. Our aims were to assess small-bowel patency, to determine the precise location of the retained PC in patients with CD, and to determine the false p...

CA 19-9 as a Marker of Survival and a Predictor of Metastization in Cholangioca...

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most frequent primitive liver malignancy and is responsible for 3% of the malignant gastrointestinal neoplasms. The aims of this study were to determine the association of serum levels of CA 19-9 at diagnosis with other clinical data and serum liver function tests and to identify possible factors that influence the survival rates during follow-up. Methods: Retrospect...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Controlled Attenuation Parameter for Detecting Hepatic S...

Introduction: Controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), measured by transient elastography, has been suggested as a noninvasive method for the detection and quantification of steatosis. We aimed to assess the accuracy of CAP to detect steatosis in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) compared with liver histology and to evaluate factors that correlate with the CAP value. Methods: Patients with CLD who underw...

Diz-me como dormes: hábitos e problemas de sono em crianças portuguesas em idad...

Introdução: A avaliação dos problemas de sono é crucial na clínica diária, devido aos potenciais problemas orgânicos e comportamentais a eles associados. Objetivos: Avaliar os hábitos e problemas de sono em crianças em idade pré-escolar e escolar e comparar os resultados com outros estudos. Material e métodos: Aplicação da versão portuguesa do Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ-PT) aos pais de crianças...
