Non-infectious uveitis referred for pediatric rheumatologic assessment and mana...
Gonçalves, H; Alves, S; Correia-Costa, L; Miranda, V; Zilhao, CBackground: Pediatric uveitis poses challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic presentations and high rates of intraocular complications. Objectives: This study aimed to characterize clinical manifestations and treatment approaches of pediatric uveitis patients in a northern Portuguese tertiary hospital. Methodology: A retrospective study was conducted involving 41 patients di...

Dengue em Portugal – Experiência da Região Autónoma da Madeira
Castro, L; Marçal, F; Gonçalves, J; Oliveira, J; Miranda, V; Freitas, C; Barros, A; Freitas, PIntrodução: O dengue é uma doença viral, autolimitada, transmitida pelo mosquito do género Aedes. A introdução do vetor de transmissão na ilha da Madeira levantou a ameaça de uma epidemia. Apesar da implementação de medidas de controlo do vetor, oito anos após a sua deteção verificou-se o primeiro surto de dengue na região. Este estudo teve como objetivo a caracterização dos casos de dengue em idade pediátrica ...
Risk Factors for Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients: Two-Year Follow-Up Study
Sameiro Faria, M; Ribeiro, S; Costa, E; Mendonça, D; Teixeira, L; Rocha-Pereira, P; Fernandes, J; Nascimento, H; Kohlova, M; Reis, F; Amado, LBackground. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients under hemodialysis (HD) have high mortality rate. Inflammation, dyslipidemia, disturbances in erythropoiesis, iron metabolism, endothelial function, and nutritional status have been reported in these patients. Our aim was to identify any significant association of death with these disturbances, by performing a two-year follow-up study. Methods and Results. A l...
Adiponectin is an independent predictor of tissue plasminogen activator levels ...
Do Sameiro Faria, M; Ribeiro, S; Nascimento, H; Rocha-Pereira, P; Miranda, V; Mendonça, D; Quintanilha, A; Costa, E; Belo, L; Santos-Silva, AObjective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) levels with clinical data of patients under haemodialysis (HD) and with several variables potentially related to endothelial function and dysfunction. Material and methods. In a cross-sectional study involving 189 Portuguese HD patients, circulating levels of t-PA, lipids, oxidized low-density lipoprotei...
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein and lipoprotein(a) levels in chronic kidney di...
Ribeiro, S; Faria, MDS; Silva, G; Nascimento, H; Rocha-Pereira, P; Miranda, V; Vieira, E; Santos, R; Mendonça, D; Quintanilha, A; Costa, E; Belo, LChronic kidney disease (CKD) has been associated with an abnormal lipid profile. Our aim was to study the interplay between oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), adiponectin, and blood lipids and lipoproteins in Portuguese patients with CKD under hemodialysis (HD); the influence of the pentanucleotide repeat polymorphism in the apolipoprotein(a) (apo [a]) gene upon lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) levels in these pa...
An integrated load allocation/state estimation approach for distribution networks
Pereira, J; Saraiva, JT; Miranda, VIn this paper we present a complete methodology to perform state estimation studies in distribution networks. Due to the peculiarities of these networks the traditional state estimation concept was enlarged in different ways. It includes a load allocation study, as a way to cope with the reduced number of real time measurements in SCADA database. The algorithm estimates binary values of topology variables, due ...
Acute renal failure and nephrotic syndrome after maneb exposure. A new case wit...
de Carvalho, E; Faria, V; Loureiro, A; Miranda, VA new case of nephrotoxic effect of Maneb is related. The patient used this product as fungicide and developed a progressive illness with acute renal failure. The study by light and electron microscopy revealed severe tubular lesions that disappeared some months later with tubular cell regeneration. However, in spite of the renal function returning to normal, a steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome persisted wit...
