Recurrent Appendicitis in Children: The Impact of a Poorly Known Disease
Monteiro, S; Capela, M; Araújo, AR; Tavares, M; Pinto, JChronic and recurrent appendicitis is rare in pediatric patients and can be easily misdiagnosed due to its unusual presentation and low incidence rate. We present the case of an 11-year-old male with recurrent right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain persisting for 19 months. The patient experienced pain flare-ups accompanied by paleness and gait limp, without fever or other symptoms. Despite extensive medical examinati...
Application of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography for Microvascular Chang...
Ferreira, A; Anjos, R; José-Vieira, R; Afonso, M; Abreu, AC; Monteiro, S; Macedo, M; Andrade, J; Furtado, MJ; Lume, MBackground: Retinal toxicity with long-term hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) treatment is a major concern. This systematic review aims to assess the application of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to detect microvascular alterations in patients under HCQ. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched until January 14, 2023. Studies using OCTA as a pr...
Prevalence and Characteristics of Osteochondrosis in Lusitano Purebred Horses
Coelho Ramos, AS; Pinto, A; Crespo, J; Marques, JP; Bettencourt, E; Gama, LT; Monteiro, SObjectives: This is the first comprehensive study in Lusitanos that aims to study the radiographic prevalence and localisation of osteochondrosis in different joints. Methods: A radiographic protocol of the metacarpo/ metatarsophalangeal, tarsocrural and femoropatellar joints was done in 302 Lusitanos, and findings were clas- sified using a 0-4 scale: 0 - normal joint contours; 1 – minimal (minimal and smooth f...

Ms-222 and propofol sedation during and after the simulated transport of nile t...
Félix, LM; Correia, R; Sequeira, R; Ribeiro, C; Monteiro, S; Antunes, L; Silva, J; Venâncio, C; Valentim, AThe use of anesthetics has been suggested as a strategy to hamper live fish transport-induced stress. Still, there is insufficient data available on the use of alternative anesthetics to MS-222. This study investigated the use of propofol to mitigate stress in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, 143.8 ± 20.9 g and 20.4 ± 0.9 cm) during a 6 h simulated transport. Individuals (n = 7) were divided into three grou...
Inflammatory, oxidative stress, and apoptosis effects in zebrafish larvae after...
Lanzarin, G; Venâncio, C; Félix, LM; Monteiro, SGlyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) are the most used herbicides in the world, carrying potentially adverse consequences to the environment and non-target species due to their massive and inadequate use. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of acute exposure to a commercial formulation of glyphosate, Roundup® Flex (RF), at environmentally relevant and higher concentrations in zebrafish larvae through the asse...
Risk-benefit assessment of cereal-based foods consumed by portuguese children a...
Assunção, R; Boué, G; Alvito, P; Brazão, R; Carmona, P; Carvalho, C; Correia, D; Fernandes, P; Lopes, C; Martins, C; Membré, JM; Monteiro, S; Nabais, PCereal-based foods, including breakfast (BC) and infant cereals (IC), are among the first solid foods introduced to infants. BC and IC are sources of macro and micronutrients that have bene-ficial effects on health, but can also be sources of harmful chemical and microbiological contaminants and nutrients that may lead to adverse health effects at high consumption levels. This study was performed under the Risk...
Understanding a woman's heart: Lessons from 14 177 women with acute coronary sy...
Roque, D; Ferreira, J; Monteiro, S; Costa, M; Gil, V; Portuguese National Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes InvestigatorsINTRODUCTION: Coronary artery disease is becoming the leading cause of death in women in Western society. However, the available data shows that women are still underdiagnosed and undertreated with guideline-recommended secondary prevention therapy, leading to a significantly higher rate of in-hospital complications and in-hospital mortality. OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this work is to assess the approach ...

Cuidados Intensivos Cardíacos em Portugal: Projetar a Mudança
Monteiro, S; Timóteo, AT; Caeiro, D; Silva, M; Tralhão, A; Guerreiro, C; Silva, D; Aguiar, C; Santos, J; Monteiro, P; Gil, V; Morais, JIn recent years, the number of patients requiring acute cardiac care has increased, with progressively more complex cardiovascular conditions, often complicated by acute or chronic non-cardiovascular comorbidities, which affects the management and prognosis of these patients. Coronary care units have evolved into cardiac intensive care units, which provide highly specialized health care for the critical heart p...
