The Risk Of Waiting Up To One Year For Cardiac Surgery
Madeira, Márcio; Neves, Jose; Nolasco, Tiago; Marques, Marta; Abecasis, Miguel; Sousa-Uva, MiguelIntroduction: Cardiac disease is associated with a risk of death, both by the cardiac condition and by comorbidities. The waiting time for surgery begins with the onset of symptoms and includes referral, completion of the diagnosis and surgical waiting list (SWL). This study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected surgical capacity and patients’ morbidities. Methods: The cohort includes 1914 ...
Epidemiological and clinical aspects of Cutaneous and Mucosal Leishmaniases in ...
Rocha, Rafael; Conceição, Cláudia; Gonçalves, Luzia; Carvalho, Ana Cláudia; Maia, André; Martins, André; Carujo, António; Maio, António; Forra, CatarinaLeishmania 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...
Development of a theory and evidence-based digital intervention tool for weight...
Marques, Marta; Matos, Marcela; Mattila, Elina; Encantado, Jorge; Duarte, Cristiana; Teixeira, Pedro; Stubbs, James; Sniehotta, Falko; Ermes, MiikkaBackground: Many weight loss programs show short-term effectiveness, but subsequent weight loss maintenance is difficult to achieve. Digital technologies offer promising means to delivering behaviour change approaches at low cost and on a wide scale. The NoHoW project was a European Commission H2020-funded project aimed to develop, test, and evaluate a digital Toolkit designed to promote successful long-term we...
Infective Endocarditis: A Prospective Registry Of Surgical Lesions
Ranchordás, Sara; Madeira, Márcio; Oliveira, Paulo; Marques, Marta; Abecasis, Miguel; Andrade, Maria João; Sousa Uva, Miguel; Neves, José PedroIntroduction: Infective endocarditis morbidity and mortality remains high. Surgery is performed in about half of endocarditis cases, being the ideal setting to evaluate endocarditis lesions. The aim of this study was to register and describe endocarditis lesions found during surgery; find predictors of morbidity and mortality and correlate lesions found in echocardiogram vs. surgery. Materials and Methods: One ...
Evaluation of the biological potential of Himanthalia elongata (L.) S.F.Gray an...
Gomes, Inês; Rodrigues, Helena; Rodrigues, Carla; Marques, Marta; Paíga, Paula; Paiva, Alexandre; Simões, Pedro; Cruz Fernandes, VirgíniaNeuroprotection is a need that remains unmet in treating chronic neurodegenerative disorders, despite decades of extensive research. To find new neuroprotective compounds, extracts of Himanthalia elongata (L.) S.F.Gray and of Eisenia bicyclis (Kjellman) Setchell were obtained through subcritical water extraction applying a four-step temperature gradient. The fractions obtained were screened against brain enzyme...
Frei Luís de Sousa – From the legend to the text and from the text to the film....
Marques, MartaThe legend of the Malta’s knight who converts himself into friar, because of a marriage which became ilegal to the eyes of the Church and to a very prejudiced society, awakened interest in Almeida Garrett, in order to approach questions of his century and, possibly, his questions, while being a father of an illegitimate daughter. Transformed into a classic of the Portuguese Literature, Frei Luís de Sousa includ...
Frei Luís de Sousa – da lenda ao texto e do texto ao filme. Análise comparativa...
Marques, MartaA lenda do cavaleiro de Malta que se converte em Frei, por ordem de um casamento inviabilizado aos olhos da Igreja e de uma sociedade altamente preconceituosa, despertou interesse em Almeida Garrett, para tratar questões do seu século e, possivelmente, suas, enquanto pai de uma menina ilegítima. Transformado num clássico da Literatura Portuguesa, Frei Luís de Sousa conta com duas adaptações cinematográficas no ...
Triple valve surgery: long-term follow-up from a single centre
Veiga Oliveira, Paulo; Madeira, Márcio; Ranchordás, Sara; Nolasco, Tiago; Marques, Marta; Sousa-Uva, Miguel; Abecasis, Miguel; Neves, José PedroAims: The aims of this study were to analyze early and late outcomes of TVS and identify predictors of short and long- term poor prognosis. Methods: Single centre retrospective study with 130 patients who underwent TVS between 2007 and 2020. Most of the patients were female (72.3%), mean age of 64.4 years; 61.1% were in New York Heart Association class III/IV, with a EuroSCORE II of 7.5%. Univariable and Multiv...
Multi-step subcritical water extracts of fucus vesiculosus l. And codium toment...
Soares, Cristina; Paíga, Paula; Marques, Marta; Neto, Tânia; Carvalho, Ana Paula; Paiva, Alexandre; Simões, Pedro; Costa, Leonor; Bernardo, AnaMental health and active aging are two of the main concerns in the 21st century. To search for new neuroprotective compounds, extracts of Codium tomentosum Stackhouse and Fucus vesiculosus L. were obtained through multi-step (four step) subcritical water extraction using a temperature gradient. The safety assessment of the extracts was performed by screening pharmaceutical compounds and pesticides by UHPLC-MS/M...
