Consumer Attitudes Toward Food and Nutritional Labeling: Implications for Polic...
Gomes, S; Nogueira, M; Ferreira, M; Gregório, Maria João; Graça, Pedro; Jewell, J; Breda, JThis paper investigates how consumers use and understand nutrition information on food labels in their daily lives. Primary data were collected from a survey (1127 Portuguese consumers) and four focus groups exploring dissimilarities among consumer segments: a) nutrition-concerned adults; b) adults non-concerned with nutritional issues; c) young consumers, aged 15-18; d) less educated and older consumers. A mix...
Sentinel node total tumour load as a predictive factor for non-sentinel node st...
Fougo, JL; Amendoeira, I; Brito, MJ; Correia, AP; Gonçalves, A; Honavar, M; Machado, A; Magalhães, A; Marta, S; Nogueira, M; Peleteiro, B; Pontes, POSNA is a molecular assay for the detection of sentinel node metastasis. TTL emerged as a concept that seems to accurately predict the status of the NSN. Authors tried to confirm this motion. This is a retrospective and multicentric study that analyzed 2164 patients, 579 of whom had positive SN and completion AD. Logistic regression models were performed in order to identify a suitable cutoff to identify patien...

Addictive Video Game Use: An Emerging Pediatric Problem?
Nogueira, M; Faria, H; Vitorino, A; Glória-Silva, F; Neto, ASINTRODUCTION: The excessive use of video games is an emerging problem that has been studied in the context of addictive behaviors. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of use of addictive video games in a group of children and to identify risk factors, protective factors and potential consequences of these behaviors. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Observational and cross-sectional study of children from...
ProACS Risk Score: an Early and Simple Score for Risk Stratification of Patient...
Timóteo, AT; Rosa, S; Nogueira, M; Belo, A; Cruz Ferreira, RINTRODUCTION: There are barriers to proper implementation of risk stratification scores in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), including their complexity. Our objective was to develop a simple score for risk stratification of all-cause in-hospital mortality in a population of patients with ACS. METHODS: The score was developed from a nationwide ACS registry. The development and internal validation coh...
Role of Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Counterpulsation in the Treatment of Acute My...
Timóteo, AT; Nogueira, M; Aguiar Rosa, S; Belo, A; Cruz Ferreira, RBACKGROUND: In previous guidelines, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) use was strongly recommended in the treatment of cardiogenic shock in the context of acute myocardial infarction. The recent IABP-SHOCK II trial demonstrated no benefit in short- and medium-term mortality with the use of IABP. It was our objective to evaluate in a real life nationwide population of patients with acute myocardial infarction the...
External Validation of the ProACS Score for Risk Stratification of Patients wit...
Timóteo, AT; Aguiar Rosa, S; Nogueira, M; Belo, A; Cruz Ferreira, RINTRODUCTION: The ProACS risk score is an early and simple risk stratification score developed for all-cause in-hospital mortality in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) from a Portuguese nationwide ACS registry. Our center only recently participated in the registry and was not included in the cohort used for developing the score. Our objective was to perform an external validation of this risk score for short- and ...
Risk Factor Paradox in the Occurrence of Cardiac Arrest in Acute Coronary Syndr...
Aguiar Rosa, S; Timóteo, AT; Nogueira, M; Belo, A; Cruz Ferreira, ROBJECTIVE:: To compare patients without previously diagnosed cardiovascular risk factors) and patients with one or more risk factors admitted with acute coronary syndrome. METHODS:: This was a retrospective analysis of patients admitted with first episode of acute coronary syndrome without previous heart disease, who were included in a national acute coronary syndrome registry. The patients were divided accordi...

Surgical management is discussed.; We report the case of a 18-year-old girl having a solid pseudopapillary pancreatic tumor. The patient underwent local enucleation of the tumor loca...
Ventilação de Alta Frequência Oscilatória como Método Ventilatório Único e Excl...
Nona, J; Nogueira, M; Nascimento, O; Costa, T; Valido, AMObjectivo: A Ventilação de Alta Frequência Oscilatória(VAFO) tem resultados promissores na ventilação de RN de pré-termo com Doença das Membranas Hialinas (DMH), embora os resultados dos estudos publicados não sejam uniformes. Esta diferença dos resultados poderá ser atribuída à falta de uniformidade das estratégias utilizadas e à forma de utilização desta técnica de ventilação. A utilização de VAFO precoce com...
