Evaluation of the Knowledge of Women of Childbearing Age with Epilepsy about th...
Lopes das Neves, Pedro; Ventura, Rita; Sobral-Pinho, André; Silva, Elisa; Morgadinho, Afonso; Vitor, Joana; Miranda, Miguel; Madureira, BeatrizIntroduction: The interaction of antiseizure medication with contraceptives, its potential teratogenicity and implications in pregnancy and breastfeeding are aspects to consider in the neurological care of women with epilepsy of childbearing age. To ensure the commitment in therapeutic decisions and the appropriate planning of maternity, it is essential that women are informed about the implications of their di...
Clinical validation of a size-based microfluidic device for circulating tumor c...
Palmela Leitão, Tito; Corredeira, Patrícia; Kucharczak, Sandra; Rodrigues, Margarida; Piairo, Paulina; Rodrigues, Carolina; Alves, PatríciaRenal cell carcinoma (RCC) presents as metastatic disease in one third of cases. Research on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and liquid biopsies is improving the understanding of RCC biology and metastases formation. However, a standardized, sensitive, specific, and cost-effective CTC detection technique is lacking. The use of platforms solely relying on epithelial markers is inappropriate in RCC due to the freq...
Use of Cognitive Enhancers by Portuguese Medical Students: Do Academic Challeng...
Miranda, Miguel; Barbosa, MiguelIntroduction: Nonmedical use of prescription drugs and other substances for cognitive enhancement in the academic environment has been documented in several studies. However, the prevalence among Portuguese university students is unknown. We aimed to assess the prevalence and academic contexts of the use of cognitive enhancers of a sample of Portuguese medical students.Material and Methods: An online questionna...
Laparoscopic Vena Cava Thrombectomy and Radical Nephrectomy in a Malignant Pheo...
Palmela Leitão, Tito; Miranda, Miguel; Oliveira, Tiago; Oliveira, Pedro; Pereira Pereira, Inês; Palma dos Reis, José; Fernandes, IsabelPheochromocytomas with vena cava thrombus are extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. Radical nephrectomy with adrenalectomy and inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy is the treatment of choice. However, it is a challenging procedure and its surgical approach is yet to be standardized. We present a case of a 49-year-old male incidentally diagnosed with a pheochromocytoma with aggressiv...
Outcomes of cerebral venous thrombosis due to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic...
van de Munckhof, Anita; Lindgren, Erik; Kleinig, Timothy J.; Field, Thalia S.; Cordonnier, Charlotte; Krzywicka, Katarzyna; Poli, SvenBackground: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) due to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is a severe condition, with high in-hospital mortality rates. Here, we report clinical outcomes of patients with CVT-VITT after SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) vaccination who survived initial hospitalization. Methods: We used data from an international registry of patients ...
Public Policies Advances on Transgender People in Portugal
Costa, Dália; Miranda, MiguelWhen rights are guaranteed through public policy, the probability of becoming de facto rights rather than just de jure rights is greatly increased. On the one hand, the conditions and mechanisms for its implementation are created or, at least, foreseen, and the conditions for effective access by all people to the rights in question are reviewed. This is the case of Portugal in promoting the rights of trans peop...

Probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment in meso and macro tidal areas. Applicat...
Gonzalez, Mauricio; Alvarez-Gomez, Jose A.; Aniel-Quiroga, Inigo; Otero, Luís; Olabarrieta, Maitane; Omira, Rachid; Luceno, Alberto; Jelinek, RobertTsunami hazard can be analyzed from both deterministic and probabilistic points of view. The deterministic approach is based on a "credible" worst case tsunami, which is often selected from historical events in the region of study. Within the probabilistic approach (PTHA, Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Analysis), statistical analysis can be carried out in particular regions where historical records of tsunami hei...
Performance indicators for benchmarking solar thermochemical fuel processes and...
Bulfin, Brendan; Miranda, Miguel; Steinfeld, AldoABSTRACT: Concentrated solar energy offers a source for renewable high-temperature process heat that can be used to efficiently drive endothermic chemical processes, converting the entire spectrum of solar radiation into chemical energy. In particular, solar-driven thermochemical processes for the production of fuels include reforming of methane and other hydrocarbons, gasification of biomass, coal, and other c...
