Enhancing primary prevention: the incremental predictive value of high-sensitiv...
Andraz, S.; Pereira, J. Massa; Costa, H.; Espirito Santo, M.; Hamann, L.; Fernandes, R.; Bispo, J.; Carvalho, D.; Bento, D.; Azevedo, P.; Mimoso, J.Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a global health challenge, prompting widespread use of conventional risk assessment tools (SCORE2 in Europe and the ASCVD Risk calculator in the United States) to guide preventive strategies. Emerging evidence indicates that high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hsTn) may refine risk stratification.
Outcomes of diabetic patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with aspiri...
Costa, H.; Espirito Santo, M.; Fernandes, R.; Carvalho, D.; Bispo, J.; Guedes, J.; Azevedo, P.; Vinhas, H.; Mimoso, J.; Jesus, I.The use of aspirin in primary prevention (PP) remains a matter of international debate. In type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) patients with high/very high cardiovascular (CV) risk, low dose aspirin may be considered for PP (class IIb, evidence level A) in european guidelines in the absence of hemorrhagic contraindication.
CRUSADE: Is it still a good score to predict bleeding inacute coronary syndrome?
Bento, D.; Marques, N.; Guedes, J.; Azevedo, Pedro; Amado, José; Santos, W.; Bispo. J.; Mimoso, J.; Jesus, I.; Silva, D.Introduction: Major bleeding is a serious complication of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) andis associated with a worse prognosis. The CRUSADE bleeding score is used to stratify the risk ofmajor bleeding in ACS.Objective: To assess the predictive ability of the CRUSADE score in a contemporary ACS popu-lation.Methods: In a single-center retrospective study of 2818 patients admitted with ACS, the CRU-SADE score was...
Diagnosis and treatment of acute myocarditis in Portugal. Data from the nationa...
Brito, D.; Cardim, N.; Lopes, L. Rocha; Freitas, A.; Lacerda, A. Pais de; Menezes, M.; Belo, A.; Martins, E.; Peres, M.; Goncalves, L.; Mimoso, J.Introduction: The diagnosis of acute myocarditis (aMyo) needs a high level of suspicion. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) may contribute to the diagnosis; but endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is considered the gold standard, although used infrequently worldwide. Short-term course, albeit unpredictable is usually benign and treatment is mainly supportive. Objectives: To assess the usual care attitudes regarding hospi...

Origin, early history and technology of the blue pigment in azulejos
Mimoso, J.A few years ago I supervised an MSc dissertation on the blue cobalt pigment in Portuguese glazed tiles (azulejos). Looking for sources on the history of the cobalt pigment in Europe, I was directed to two papers published in German and one (unpublished) in Dutch. Those were: Beiträge zur Geschichte der Kobaltfarbe und ihre Verwendung in der Keramik (Contributions to the history of the cobalt colour and its use ...
Jorge Colaço, um artista multifacetado. Estudo e caracterização das técnicas de...
Santos, C.; Vieira, E.; Mirão, J.; Mimoso, J.Jorge Colaço is a Portuguese painter who started his artistic career as painter, oil painting on canvas and making cartoons for newspapers. In the early twentieth century, due to curiosity and interest in tiles, he devoted himself to tile painting. The vastness and the quality of his artwork (tile and frame panels) required mastery and accuracy in drawing and painting, but also a developed knowledge of the cera...
In-situ survey of the presence of soluble salts associated with decaying azulejos
Esteves, L.; Mirão, J.; Dias, L.; Candeias, A.; Mimoso, J.Pattern or figurative azulejos are commonly found decorating the interior of churches, palaces and religious buildings in Portugal, representing local productions from the late 16th century onwards. The history and micro-climatic background of each building determined that not every azulejo reached the present day in good condition. Restorers tend to associate azulejo decay to the action of soluble salts throug...
Micro-drilling studies in azulejo consolidation
Costa, D.; Leal, A.; Mimoso, J.; Morais Pereira, S.The consolidation treatment of azulejos is indispensable when there is a debilitated or disaggregated ceramic biscuit and/or one wishes to reestablish a weakened glaze-ceramic adherence. In this communication the impregnation profiles obtained via mass consolidation on ceramics conservation are presented. An acrylic resin, an ethyl silicate and a nanolime were used to determine the micro-drilling relevance for ...
Experimental research with salt crystallization in historic Portuguese azulejos
Esteves, L.; Candeias, A.; Mimoso, J.For five centuries, azulejos have been widely used in Portugal as decorative architectural linings. The most serious form of degradation is the spall of the glaze containing the decoration. Crystallisation of soluble salts is often pointed as its main cause, but that remains yet to be proven. Indeed, there are publications on many simulations of salt decay in porous materials such as stone or brick. However, az...
