Experiências Adversas na Infância e Perturbação de Hiperatividade e Défice de A...

A perturbação de hiperatividade e défice de atenção (PHDA) é a perturbação do neurodesenvolvimento mais frequente na faixa etária pediátrica, podendo ter um marcado impacto no funcionamento do indivíduo. Nos últimos anos,tem vindo a ser estudada a associação entre esta patologia e a exposição a adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), i.e.,eventos adversos potencialmente traumáticos vividos antes dos 18 anos. Nest...

Parámetros hematológicos descuidados en el pronóstico de la insuficiencia cardí...

Aims: In heart failure patients, anemia and iron deficiency are predictors of poor outcome. We studied the association of anemia, iron deficiency and related hematological parameters with short-term rehospitalization, short-term all-cause mortality and end of follow-up all-cause mortality in heart failure patients. Material and Methods: Anemia, iron deficiency, red cell distribution width and erythropoietin wer...

Generalized Lymphadenopathy as the First Manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythe...

Lymphadenopathy (LAP) is a common but nonspecific feature of many diseases, representing a vast spectrum of etiologies such as infectious or inflammatory diseases, malignancies, and drugs. In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), it can be the first manifestation. We present the case of a 20-year-old female with a history of fever, night sweats, anorexia, and asthenia for five months. She also had diffuse general...

Insuficiencia Cardíaca: una Enfermedad Maligna Conclusiones del Estudio REFERENCE

Gal-3 y ST2 como biomarcadores: un paso al frente en el pronóstico de la Insufi...

Aims: The American College of Cardiology (ACA)/ American Heart Association (AHA) granted Galectin-3 (Gal-3) and Suppression of Tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) evaluation a class II recommendation for HF prognosis, as an adjunctive to conventional clinical risk factors and natriuretic peptides dosing in 2013. However, in Europe this endorsement is not valid. The purpose of this study was to study the association of Gal-3...

Acute Kidney Injury Associated with COVID-19 Infection: a Case Report

SARS-Cov2 infection is a highly transmissible disease associated with serious pulmonary disease. Renal involvement is frequent and associated with poor prognosis; however, mechanisms of kidney injury are not well established. We present a SARS-Cov2 patient with severe acute kidney injury. Kidney biopsy findings revealed a pattern of acute tubular necrosis with isometric vacuolization of the proximal tubule. The...

The role of iron deficiency, RDW and EPO in heart failure prognosis ‐ Data from...

Putative antimicrobial peptides of the posterior salivary glands from the cepha...

Cephalopods, successful predators, can use a mixture of substances to subdue their prey, becoming interesting sources of bioactive compounds. In addition to neurotoxins and enzymes, the presence of antimicrobial compounds has been reported. Recently, the transcriptome and the whole proteome of the Octopus vulgaris salivary apparatus were released, but the role of some compounds—e.g., histones, antimicrobial pep...

Shotgun Proteomics of Ascidians Tunic Gives New Insights on Host-Microbe Intera...

Ascidians are marine invertebrates associated with diverse microbial communities, embedded in their tunic, conferring special ecological and biotechnological relevance to these model organisms used in evolutionary and developmental studies. Next-generation sequencing tools have increased the knowledge of ascidians' associated organisms and their products, but proteomic studies are still scarce. Hence, we explor...
