Polymorphisms and haplotypes of TOLLIP and MUC5B are associated with susceptibi...
Mota, PC; Soares, ML; Ferreira, AC; Santos, RF; Cavaleiro Rufo, J; Vasconcelos, D; Carvalho, A; Guimarães, S; Vasques-Nóvoa, F; Cardoso, C; Melo, NIntroduction and Objectives: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an interstitial lung disease with diverse clinical features that can present a fibrotic phenotype similar to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in genetically predisposed individuals. While several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with IPF, the genetic factors contributing to fibrotic HP (fHP) remain poorly understood....
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis: Main features characterization in a Portuguese co...
Santos, V; Martins, N; Sousa, C; Jacob, M; Padrão, E; Melo, N; Mota, PC; Bastos, HN; Guimarães, S; Moura, CS; Sokhatska, O; Cunha, R; Pereira, JHypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an interstitial lung disease (ILD) which varies in prevalence across the world, depending on disease definition, diagnostic methods, exposure type and intensity, geographical environments, agricultural and industrial practices, and host risk factors. This study aimed to deepen knowledge about HP's clinical characteristics, diagnosis and functional and imaging features in a c...
Predictive factors of obstructive sleep apnoea in patients with fibrotic lung d...
Pereira, N; Cardoso, AV; Mota, PC; Santos, AC; Melo, N; Morais, A; Drummond, MBackground and aim Several studies reported a high prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) or restrictive end-stage lung disease (ESLD). Besides the known risk factors for OSA like high Body Mass Index (BMI), reduced static and dynamic volumes for IPF patients and reduced DLCO and low minimal O2 saturation during sleep for ESLD patients were associated w...
Sedation with midazolam in flexible bronchoscopy - a prospective study
Rolo, R; Mota, PC; Coelho, F; Alves, D; Fernandes, G; Cunha, J; Hespanhol, V; Magalhães, AINTRODUCTION: Sedatives have been increasingly used to improve patient comfort during flexible bronchoscopy (FOB). Due to its rapid-onset, anxiolytic and amnestic properties, midazolam is one of the most commonly used sedatives. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of sedation with midazolam, including patient tolerance, complications and its potential use on a daily routine basis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A multi-c...
