Epidemiological and clinical aspects of Cutaneous and Mucosal Leishmaniases in ...

Leishmania infantum, a zoonotic vector-born parasite, is endemic in the Mediterranean region, presenting mostly as visceral (VL), but also as cutaneous (CL) and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML). This study aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the CL and ML cases diagnosed in mainland Portugal between 2010 and 2020. Collaboration was requested from every hospital of the Portuguese National Hea...

Retrospective study of cisplatin plus radiotherapy toxicities in locally advanc...

Introduction Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is a multifactorial disease involving genetic and environmental factors representing one of the most frequent cancer-related deaths worldwide. Tobacco and alcohol use account for most SCCHN, while a growing subset of oropharyngeal cancers is causally associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Despite improvements in overall survival, p...

Lifestyle changes appointment in primary health care setting

Obesity is an increasing public health issue around the world. Lifestyle counselling is one of the core competencies of family doctors and can contribute to the prevention, control, and counteract of chronic disease complications.

Reflections in Pandemic Times: Our Elders Need “Even More” Help to Face Cancer

In the current pandemic times for SARS-CoV-2, several challenges are posed to the scientific community. With regard to the implementation of treatments for the elderly with cancer, despite the high complexity in its approach, a variable (SARS-CoV-2) now appears that represents a high impact on multidisciplinary decision-making processes when deciding which therapeutic strategies to use. In accordance with vario...

Insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular changes in a group of obese...

Background: Obesity-related comorbidities are present in young obese children, providing a platform for early adult cardiovascular disorders. Objectives: To compare and correlate markers of adiposity to metabolic disturbances, vascular and cardiac morphology in a European pediatric obese cohort. Methods: We carried out an observational and transversal analysis in a cohort consisting of 121 obese children of bot...

The nucleolar protein Viriato/Nol12 is required for the growth and differentiat...

Drosophila Decapentaplegic (Dpp), a member of the BMP2/4 class of the TGF-βs, is required for organ growth, patterning and differentiation. However, much remains to be understood about the mechanisms acting downstream of these multiple roles. Here we investigate this issue during the development of the Drosophila eye. We have previously identified viriato (vito) as a dMyc-target gene encoding a nucleolar protei...
