Vieira, B; Taranu, V; Vieira, A; Soares, D; Soares, A; Silva, A; Galvão, D; Bagnari, I; Melo, D; Pimentel, F; Sousa, J; Martins, L; Pinheiro, LIntroduction: The aim of the study was to describe trauma injuries associated with rope bullfights in the Azores, Portugal, regarding the cause of the incident, trauma mechanism, most affected anatomical areas, and injury severity. Methods: Two-year cross-sectional study in the local hospital with prospective data collection. Patients who were consecutively admitted to the local hospital’s emergency department ...
The role of ontologies and decision frameworks in computer-interpretable guidel...
Novais, Paulo; Oliveira, T; Satoh, Ken; Neves, JoséComputer-Interpretable Guidelines (CIGs) are machine readable representations of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) that serve as the knowledge base in many knowledge-based systems oriented towards clinical decision support. Herein we disclose a comprehensive CIG representation model based on Web Ontology Language (OWL) along with its main components. Additionally, we present results revealing the expressivene...
O-mannosylation and N-glycosylation: Two coordinated mechanisms regulating the ...
Carvalho, S; Oliveira, T; Bartels, M; Miyoshi, E; Pierce, M; Taniguchi, N; Carneiro, F; Seruca, R; Reis, CA; Strahl, S; Pinho, SSDysregulation of tumor suppressor protein E-cadherin is an early molecular event in cancer. O-mannosylation profile of E-cadherin is a newly-described posttranslational modification crucial for its adhesive functions in homeostasis. However, the role of O-mannosyl glycans in E-cadherin-mediated cell adhesion in cancer and their interplay with N-glycans remains largely unknown. We herein demonstrated that human ...
Caso dermatológico: Kerion celsi
Monteiro, MI; Leite, AL; Rodrigues, J; Costa, M; Oliveira, T; Rocha, CKerion Celsi is an inflammatory presentation of tinea capitis, caused by a hypersensitivity reaction mediated by T lymphocytes of the dermatophyte in hair follicles. The early clinical recognition avoids invasive procedures. Hyperleukocytosis/ leukemoid reactions are hematologic reactional responses that may result. The most frequently involved agents are Trichophyton verrucosum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Mi...
Excess mortality and morbidity during the July 2006 heat wave in Porto, Portugal
Monteiro, A; Carvalho, V; Oliveira, T; Sousa, CThe purpose of this study was to understand the effects of the July 2006 heat wave through the use of the heat index, in mortality (all causes) and morbidity (all causes, respiratory and circulatory diseases) in general, and in people over 74 years and by gender, in Porto. In this paper, the Poisson generalized additive regression model was used to estimate the impact of apparent temperature (heat index) and da...
Migração de Banda Gástrica - Casuística da Unidade de Tratamento da Obesidade e...
Ribeiro, R; Oliveira, TA banda gástrica é um método eficaz na obtenção da perda de peso, mas tem uma taxa de complicações a longo prazo que pode ser considerada elevada. Entre elas, a migração intragástrica é rara (0.6-10%) consiste na erosão da banda através da parede gástrica até ao lúmen por um processo de destruição e auto-regeneração com processo infeccioso mínimo. Neste trabalho analisamos os aspetos clínicos, analíticos e tera...
