Sarcoid Granulomas Over Scars: Beyond Sarcoidosis
Morgado, Francisca; Batista, Mariana; Cardoso, José Carlos; Gonçalo, MargaridaSarcoid granulomas can be found in a wide range of diseases and differentiating sarcoidosis from a sarcoid-like reaction may be a challenge. We present a woman with erythematoviolaceous papulonodular lesions located on the ears where piercings were placed. A skin biopsy showing an infiltrate of sarcoid and focal tuberculoid granulomas did not exclude sarcoidosis. There was a slight increase in the level of angi...
Influence of Dysbiosis on Scalp Diseases
Morgado, Francisca; Oliveira Soares, RuiNos últimos anos vários estudos demonstraram a implicação da microbiota intestinal em várias doenças de mediação imune como a diabetes, a colite ulcerosa e a esclerose múltipla. Existem poucos dados sobre o microbioma folicular e o seu papel na patogénese de doenças que afetam o couro cabeludo, sendo uma área de investigação crescente. Alguns estudos mostram influência da disbiose nestas doenças...
Delignification of Cistus ladanifer Biomass by Organosolv and Alkali Processes
Alves Ferreira Caturra, Júnia Aparecida; Lourenço, Ana; Morgado, Francisca; Duarte, Luís C.; Roseiro, Luisa B.; Fernandes, M. C.; Pereira, HelenaABSTRACT: Residues of Cistus ladanifer obtained after commercial steam distillation for essential oil production were evaluated to produce cellulose enriched solids and added-value lignin-derived compounds. The delignification of extracted (CLRext) and extracted and hydrothermally pretreated biomass (CLRtreat) was studied using two organosolv processes, ethanol/water mixtures (EO), and alkali-catalyzed glycerol...

Photosensitivity as the Presenting Feature of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infe...
Relvas, Maria; Morgado, Francisca; Oliveira, Hugo; Gonçalo, MargaridaPhotosensitivity is characterized by an abnormal response to non-ionizing radiation, disclosing a variety of morphological patterns, which reflect their different etiologies. We describe the case of a man presenting with a photosensitive dermatosis with no apparent exogenous cause and refractory to multiple treatments. Phototests revealed a reduction in minimal erythema dose to UVB. Laboratory tests in order to...
Perioral Mucocutaneous Infiltration
Batista, Mariana; Ferreira, Diana; Morgado, Francisca; Cardoso, José Carlos; Julião, Maria José; Gonçalo, Margarida.; Apresenta-se o caso de uma mulher de 75 anos, caucasiana, com achados clínicos compatíveis com sialadenite esclerosante crónica e discutem-se os achados laboratoriais, histológicos e radiológicos que permitiram estabelecer o diagnóstico de uma Doença relacionada com IgG4. Discutem-se os critérios de diagnóstico, tratamento e evolução clínca da doente.
