PrOgnosis in Pulmonary Embolism (PoPE): 30-day mortality risk score based on fi...

Existem vários sistemas de pontuação para a estratificação de doentes com tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP). As taxas de mortalidade no TEP agudo dependem principalmente da gravidade da disfunção cardiopulmonar na apresentação e das comorbidades associadas.

ARC-HBR SCORE PREDICTS BETTER THAN HAS-BLED THE RISK OF MAJOR BLEEDING IN PATIE...

Neste estudo unicêntrico retrospetivo com doentes hospitalizados por fibrilhação auricular, o score ARC-HBR critérios major tem um desempenho superior ao HAS-BLED e semelhante ao HEMORR2HAGES na previsão do risco de hemorragia

UNVEILING THE UNUSUAL: A RARE CASE OF TRANSIENT CARDIOMYOPATHY IN A YOUNG MALE

Há alguns casos descritos na literatura de insuficiência da supra renal como causa reversível de disfunção ventricular esquerda; O vasospasmo coronário está associado a défice de corticosteroides; A combinação de hipocortisolismo com doença arterial coronária aterosclerótica é raro (inflamação acelerada?); Este caso ilustra a importância de procurar causas reversíveis de disfunção ventricular esquerda.

PrOgnosis in Pulmonary Embolism (PoPE): 30-Day mortality risk score based on fi...

Introduction and objective: Several scoring systems have been developed for risk stratification in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). The Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) and its simplified version (sPESI) are among the most used, however the high number of variables hinder its application. Our aim was to derive an easy-to-perform score based on simple parameters obtained at admission to predi...

Diagnosis methods for COVID-19: a systematic review

At the end of 2019, the coronavirus appeared and spread extremely rapidly, causing millions of infections and deaths worldwide, and becoming a global pandemic. For this reason, it became urgent and essential to find adequate tests for an accurate and fast diagnosis of this disease. In the present study, a systematic review was performed in order to provide an overview of the COVID-19 diagnosis methods and tests...

Properties and applications of PDMS for biomedical engineering: a review

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is an elastomer with excellent optical, electrical and mechanical properties, which makes it well-suited for several engineering applications. Due to its biocompatibility, PDMS is widely used for biomedical purposes. This widespread use has also led to the massification of the soft-lithography technique, introduced for facilitating the rapid prototyping of micro and nanostructures us...

Properties and applications of PDMS for biomedical engineering: a review

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is an elastomer with excellent optical, electrical and mechanical properties, which makes it well-suitable for several applications such as microfluidic and pho-tonics in several areas. Due to its biocompatible feature, PDMS is widely used for biomedical purposes. This widespread led also to the massification of the soft-lithography technique, intro-duced for facilitating the rapid p...

Separation microfluidic device fabricated by micromilling techniques

The diagnosis of several diseases can be performed by analyzing the blood plasma of a patient. Despite extensive research work, there is still a need to improve current low-cost fabrication techniques and devices for the separation of plasma from blood cells. Microfluidic biomedical devices have great potential for that process. Hence, a microfluidic device made by micromilling and sealed with an oxygen plasma ...
