Inter rater disagreements in applying the montreal classification for Crohn's d...
Ukashi, Offir; Amiot, Aurelien; Laharie, David; Menchén, Luis; Gutiérrez, Ana; Fernandes, Samuel; Pessarelli, Tommaso; Correia, FábioBackground: The Montreal classification has been widely used in Crohn's disease since 2005 to categorize patients by the age of onset (A), disease location (L), behavior (B), and upper gastrointestinal tract and perianal involvement. With evolving management paradigms in Crohn's disease, we aimed to assess the performance of gastroenterologists in applying the Montreal classification. Methods: An online survey ...
Common mechanistic pathways in rare congenital syndromes with primary microcephaly
Jorge, Xavier; Milagre, Ines; Ferreira, Anita; Calado, Sofia; Oliveira, Raquel; Carvalhal, SaraPrimary microcephaly is an often-seen phenotype in several rare congenital syndromes. It is characterised by a smaller brain size at birth compared to the norm. The causes of this malformation are not fully understood, but genetic testing suggests a connection with defective genes involved in mitotic regulation and proteins related to DNA repair and replication pathways. Cohesinopathies represent a group of rar...

Removing “Another Brick in the Wall”: Pulmonary Rehabilitation of a Patient wit...
Cabrita, Bruno; Santos, Cláudia; Silva, Sónia; Gonçalves, Eva; Oliveira, RaquelPulmonary rehabilitation is fundamental for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, few patients complete the intervention, and enrolling during hospitalization needs consideration. We report the case of a 72-year-old male patient, with very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, presented with aggravated dyspnea, fatigue, hemoptysis and shivering. Chest radiograph showed a round opacity, with ai...
Rates of adverse events in patients with Ulcerative Colitis undergoing colectom...
Dragoni, Gabriele; Innocenti, Tommaso; Amiot, Aurelién; Castiglione, Fabiana; Melotti, Laura; Festa, Stefano; Savarino, Edoardo Vincenzo; Truyens, MarieINTRODUCTION: Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) receiving immunosuppressive drugs are at substantial risk of colectomy. We aimed to assess the risk of postoperative complications of tofacitinib exposure before colectomy in comparison with biologics. METHODS: A multicenter, retrospective, observational study was conducted in patients with UC who underwent total colectomy for medically refractory disease, exp...
Food-related quality of life in inflammatory bowel disease: translation and val...
Oliveira, Raquel; Martins, Viviana Maria Varajão; Teixeira, Laetitia; Sousa, Helena Tavares; Roseira, JoanaFood-related quality of life (FR-QoL) has been shown to be an important patient-reported outcome in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We aimed to translate and validate a Portuguese version of the FR-QoL-29. Methods: This was a case-control cross-sectional study undertaken at a tertiary hospital. After obtaining the original authors' authorization, both forward and backward translations of the original FR-QoL-2...
Food-related quality of life and its predictors in inflammatory bowel disease
Oliveira, Raquel; Martins, Viviana; Sousa, Helena Tavares; Roseira, JoanaBackground Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with dietary restrictions and food- and drink-driven daily life limitations. Food-related quality of life (FR-QoL) is still an under-addressed issue in IBD. Aim We aimed to study determinants of FR-QoL in an IBD cohort, namely objective measures of disease activity. Methods A cross-sectional case-control study was conducted in a Tertiary Hospital, includ...

Transient Ischemic Attack and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy-Related Inflammation:...
Oliveira, Raquel; Batista, Raquel; Flores, Priscila; Massano, Ana; Galo, Sérgio; Martins, IsabelCerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-ri) is a rare subtype of CAA characterized by a perivascular inflammatory response to amyloid deposition in the brain. The authors detail the case of a 74-year-old man with aphasia, who was diagnosed with probable CAA-ri following brain magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment recom- mendations included a 5-day course of high-dose methylprednisolone. CAA-ri may...
