Malignancy risk of thyroid nodules: quality assessment of the thyroid ultrasoun...
Raposo, L; Freitas, C; Martins, R; Saraiva, C; Manita, I; Oliveira, MJ; Marques, AP; Marques, B; Rocha, G; Martins, T; Azevedo, T; Rodrigues, FBackground Thyroid nodules are a challenge in clinical practice and thyroid ultrasonography is essential for assessing the risk of malignancy. The use of ultrasound-based malignancy risk classification systems has been recommended by several scientific societies but radiologist’s adherence to these guidelines may vary. The authors aimed to analyze the quality of the information provided by the thyroid ultrasoun...
Mitochondrial Alterations in Fibroblasts of Early Stage Bipolar Disorder Patients
Marques, AP; Resende, R; Silva, DF; Batista, M; Pereira, D; Wildenberg, B; Morais, S; Macedo, A; Pais, C; Melo, JB; Madeira, N; Pereira, CFThis study aims to evaluate whether mitochondrial changes occur in the early stages of bipolar disorder (BD). Using fibroblasts derived from BD patients and matched controls, the levels of proteins involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics (fission and fusion) were evaluated by Western Blot analysis. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was studied using the fluorescent probe TMRE. Mitochondrial morph...
Convection patterns gradients of non-living and living micro-entities in hydrogels
Canadas, Raphaël F.; Patricio, Pedro; Brancato, Virginia; Gasperini, Luca; Caballero, David; Pires, Ricardo A.; Costa, João; Pereira, Hélder; Yong, PingInducing thermal gradients in two injected fluid systems results in the temporal formation of mixing conductive streams. If preserved through sol-gel transition, this mechanism can be used to drive and pattern non-living and living entities in mixed hydrogels. Interfaces are vital in nature, where gradients of non-living and living entities build distinct yet continuous integrated living tissues. However, the c...

Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia characterization in portugal: R...
Santos, AP; Vinagre, J; Soares, P; Claro, I; Sanches, AC; Gomes, L; Fernandes, I; Catarino, AL; Preto, J; Pereira, BD; Marques, AP; Rodrigues, FBackground. The incidence of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) has been increasing in the last five decades, but there is no large-scale data regarding these tumours in Portugal. We conducted a cross-sectional, multicentric study in main Portuguese centers to evaluate the clinical, pathological, and therapeutic profile of GEP-NENs. Methods. From November, 2012, to July, 2014, data from ...
Predicting participation of people with impaired vision in epidemiological studies
Ramos, PL; Santana, R; Moreno, LH; Marques, AP; Freitas, C; Rocha-Sousa, A; Macedo, AFBACKGROUND: The characteristics of the target group and the design of an epidemiologic study, in particular the recruiting methods, can influence participation. People with vision impairment have unique characteristics because those invited are often elderly and totally or partially dependent on help to complete daily activities such as travelling to study sites. Therefore, participation of people with impaired...

Trends in thyroid cancer incidence and mortality in Portugal
Raposo, L; Morais, S; Oliveira, MJ; Marques, AP; Bento, MJ; Lunet, NThe objective was to quantify thyroid cancer incidence and mortality trends in Portugal. The number of thyroid cancer cases and incidence rates were retrieved from the Regional Cancer Registries for the period 1989–2011. The number of deaths and mortality rates were obtained from the WHO cancer mortality database (1988–2003 and 2007–2012) and Statistics Portugal (2004–2006; 1988–2012 by region). Joinpoint regre...
