Desenvolver a criatividade é um desafio complexo. O seu desenvolvimento emerge de várias interações entre os jogadores e o contexto, enaltecendo a influência que a cultura tem sob o comportamento criativo (Vaughan et al., 2019). Por essa essa razão, é possível existirem diferenças no tipo de experiências e possibilidades de ação face às crenças, valores e costumes presentes em cada cultura (Rietveld & Kiverstei...
Paragangliomas (PGLs) are neuroendocrine neoplasms that can occur throughout the body wherever there is paraganglia. Representing 0.03% of all tumours, PGLs are extremely rare. Although predominantly benign and amenable to cure by surgical ressection, up to 6% can be malignant. To date, three genes have been identified that are associated with Familial PGLs. All three encode subunits (D, B and C) of the enzyme ...
Peripheral mycotic aneurysms are rare complications of infective endocarditis. The case of a 49-year-old man with a radial artery aneurysm in a context of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus bovis in the postoperative period of mechanical aortic valve replacement by homograft is reported. After diagnostic confirmation by Doppler scan, we chose to resect the aneurysmal sac with termino-terminal anasto...
Introduction: Peripheral ischaemia and gangrene in a neonate is rare,with fewer than a hundred cases reported in the literature. Neonatal limb ischaemia present considerable challenges in diagnosis and management. The published literature is limited to case reports and case series and there are no large trials comparing different therapies. Objectives: The authors describe the case of a 4-day newborn transferre...
Introduction: Acute lower limb ischemia (ALLI) is a common emergency in Vascular Surgery, with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite other therapeutic options, thromboembolectomy is still a valid option. The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of this surgical option in the treatment of ALLI, in elderly patients. Methods: Retrospective, single center study covering the period between J...
Introduction: Mortality rates after lower limb amputation are notoriously high and age is associated with increased mortality. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine mortality rates after a first major lower limb amputation in a cohort of patients older 80 years old. Methods: We performed an analysis of factors affecting early and late outcome after major lower limb amputation for peripheral vascu...
Objective: Type 2 endoleak occurs in up to 30% of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), but its long-term significance continues to be one of the most controversial topics. We reviewed our experience to evaluate late outcomes associated with type 2 endoleak. Methods: Between January 2008 to December 2014, 57 patients undergoing EVAR were enrolled in the presenting study. Computed tomography (angioCT) scan assess...
Pseudoaneurysms of the superficial temporal artery are uncommon but mainly result secondary to blunt or penetrating trauma of the frontotemporal region of the head. The authors report a clinical case of a young male with a false aneurysm of superficial temporal artery. Five weeks before he had a blunt trauma of the head. The authors did surgical resection via proximal and distal artery ligation.; Os pseudoaneur...
