Towards the development of electrospun mats from poly(ε-caprolactone)/poly(este...
Lamas, Miguel; Lima, Mafalda S.; Pinho, AC; Tugushi, David; Katsarava, Ramaz; Costa, Elisabete C.; Correia, Ilídio Joaquim Sobreira; Serra, ArmenioIn this work, electrospun mats made from miscible poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/poly(ester amide) (PEA) blends were prepared, for the first time. The well-known immiscibility issues between these two type of polymers were overcome through the synthesis of a novel tailor-made compatibilizer blocky PEA, comprising well defined PCL and PEA8L6 blocks (PCL-PEA8L6). The PCL-PEA8L6 was synthesized for the first time in t...
Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: Current Status and New Strategies Using Polymeri...
Pinho, AC; Fonseca, AC; Serra, AC; Santos, JD; Coelho, JFJExperiments concerning peripheral nerve regeneration have been reported since the end of the 19(th) century. The need to implement an effective surgical procedure in terms of functional recovery has resulted in the appearance of several approaches to solve this problem. Nerve autograft was the first approach studied and is still considered the gold standard. Since autografts require donor harvesting, other stra...
New Perspectives on the Conservative Management of Osteoradionecrosis of the Ma...
Alpuim Costa, D; Porfírio Costa, T; Netto, E; Joaquim, N; Ventura, I; Pratas, AC; Winckler, P; Pires Silva, I; Pinho, AC; Goulão Sargento, IOver the last decades, several therapeutic options were considered in the treatment of the osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible, including supportive measures, ultrasound therapy, corticosteroids, hyperbaric oxygen, surgical resection with reconstruction, and, more recently, drugs capable of reversing the fibroatrophic process. Once established, the ORN does not spontaneously disappear and a standard treatm...
Brooke-Spiegler Syndrome - an underrecognized cause of multiple familial scalp ...
Pinho, AC; Gouveia, MJ; Gameiro, AR; Cardoso, JC; Gonçalo, MargaridaBACKGROUND: Brooke-Spiegler syndrome (BSS) is probably an underdiagnosed genodermatosis that predisposes for the development of cylindromas, spiradenomas and trichoepitheliomas mainly of the head and neck. Wide phenotypic variability regarding the number and type of lesions can be observed within a family. Mutations of the CYLD gene are identified in the vast majority of cases and play a key role in BSS pathoge...
Variations of the soft tissue thicknesses external to the ribs in Pectus Excava...
Rodrigues, PL; Direito-Santos, B; Moreira, AH; Fonseca, JC; Pinho, AC; Rodrigues, NF; Henriques-Coelho, T; Correia-Pinto, J; Vilaça, JLBACKGROUND: Surgical repair of pectus excavatum (PE) has become more popular due to improvements in the minimally invasive Nuss procedure. The pre-surgical assessment of PE patients requires Computerized Tomography (CT), as the malformation characteristics vary from patient to patient. OBJECTIVE: This work aims to characterize soft tissue thickness (STT) external to the ribs among PE patients. It also presents ...

Úlcera Flebostática. Estudo Prospectivo de 202 Doentes
Fradique, AC; Pupo, A; Quaresma, L; Palma-Rosa, A; Fernandes, M; Silva, G; Almeida, H; Diogo, C; Pinho, ACDurante um período de 16 anos foram estudados, de forma prospectiva, 202 doentes portadores de insuficiência venosa crónica complicada de úlcera de perna, totalizando 257 úlceras. Este conjunto constitui uma série homogénea, em que foi sempre mantida a mesma orientação diagnóstica e terapêutica, quer médica, quer cirúrgica. Foi definido como objectivo a cura da úlcera em ambulatório, com tratamento conservador....
