Adiponectin, Leptin, and IGF-1 Are Useful Diagnostic and Stratification Biomark...
Marques, V; Afonso, MB; Bierig, N; Duarte-Ramos, F; Santos-Laso, Á; Jimenez-Agüero, R; Eizaguirre, E; Bujanda, L; Pareja, MJ; Luís, R; Costa, ABackground: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease where liver biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis. Here we aimed to evaluate the role of circulating adiponectin, leptin, and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels as non-invasive NAFLD biomarkers and assess their correlation with the metabolome. Materials and Methods: Leptin, adiponectin, and IGF-1 seru...
First representation of the trophic structure and functioning of the Portuguese...
Veiga-Malta, T.; Szalaj, D.; Angelico, M. M.; Azevedo, M.; Farias, I; Garrido, S.; Lourenco, S.; Marçalo, Ana; Marques, V; Moreno, A.; Oliveira, P. B.In this study, we analysed the structure and functioning of the Portuguese continental shelf ecosystem and investigated the role of sardine Sardina pilchardus using the Ecopath massbalance approach. An Ecopath model was configured to represent the continental shelf waters in the period 2006-2009. The model showed that biomass was concentrated in low and intermediate trophic levels as in other upwelling areas. S...

Pretransplant biopsy in expanded criteria donors: do we really need it?
Tavares da Silva, E; Oliveira, R; Castelo, D; Marques, V; Sousa, V; Moreira, P; Simões, P; Bastos, C; Figueiredo, A; Mota, AAbstract INTRODUCTION: Renal transplantation is the best treatment for end-stage renal disease, including when using expanded criteria donors (ECD) kidneys. However, these suboptimal kidneys should be evaluated rigorously to meet their usefulness. Opinions differ about the best way to evaluate them. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed kidneys from ECD harvested by a single academic institution be...
Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Associated with Cervical Rib
Millan, G; Casal, D; Sagaribay, A; Marques, V; Estrela Martins, JA true neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) associated with a cervical rib is considered extremely rare. The authors present their experience with 5 cases of true neurogenic TOS associated with a cervical rib. All patients were female and had a cervical rib confirmed radiographically pre-operatively. Average age was 34,8 years. Although all patients had been treated with several combinations of diverse dru...
Head-to-head comparison of two online nomograms for prostate biopsy outcome pre...
Oliveira, M; Marques, V; Carvalho, AP; Santos, ALEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2b. What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? In recent years, several nomograms were developed in an effort to decrease the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies. The European SWOP-PRI and the North American PCPT are among the most popular. However, evidence on the relative predictive accuracy is lacking. A head-to-head comparison on the diagnostic accuracy of two previousl...
