An acclimatization period in a cage promotes site fidelity of hatchery-reared d...
Silva, AF; Castro, JJ; Pereira, E; Marques, JP; Silva, T; Lino, PG; Candeias-Mendes, A; Pousão-Ferreira, P; Pinto, B; Costa, JL; Almeida, PRThe influence of an in-situ acclimatization period of five weeks, seeking the settlement and fidelity of hatchery-reared dusky groupers (Epinephelus marginatus) to the release sites in restocking actions, was tested using acoustic biotelemetry. Eight tagged adult groupers were submitted to the wild conditions in a fish farm cage, while seven remained in the hatchery and tagging location until they were all rele...

Fonseca, BM; Cruz, R; Pinto, B; Costa, L; Felgueira, E; Oliveira, P; Casal, S; Rebelo, IBoth vitamin A and E support female reproduction and embryonic development. These vitamins have been associated with decreased fertility or failure to end the pregnancy in animals. An observational study was conducted on follicular fluid (FF) samples to determine the concentrations of fat-soluble vitamins of women undergoing in vitro fertilization and its correlation with assisted reproductive technology charac...
Increased 30-Day Mortality in Very Old ICU Patients with COVID-19 Compared to P...
Guidet, B; Jung, C; Flaatten, H; Fjølner, J; Artigas, A; Bollen Pinto, B; Schefold, J; Beil, M; Sigal, S; Vernon van Heerden, P; Szczeklik, WPurpose: The number of patients ≥ 80 years admitted into critical care is increasing. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) added another challenge for clinical decisions for both admission and limitation of life-sustaining treatments (LLST). We aimed to compare the characteristics and mortality of very old critically ill patients with or without COVID-19 with a focus on LLST. Methods: Patients 80 years or older ...

The Impact of Frailty on Survival in Elderly Intensive Care Patients with COVID...
Jung, C; Flaatten, H; Fjolner, J; Bruno, R; Wernly, B; Artigas, A; Pinto, B; Schefold, J; Wolff, G; Kelm, M; Beil, M; Sviri, S; Heerden, P; Szczeklil, WBackground: The COVID-19 pandemic has led highly developed healthcare systems to the brink of collapse due to the large numbers of patients being admitted into hospitals. One of the potential prognostic indicators in patients with COVID-19 is frailty. The degree of frailty could be used to assist both the triage into intensive care, and decisions regarding treatment limitations. Our study sought to determine th...
A Comparison of Very Old Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Unit After Acute V...
Jung, C; Wernly, B; Muessig, J; Kelm, M; Boumendil, A; Morandi, A; Andersen, F; Artigas, A; Bertolini, G; Cecconi, M; Christensen, S; Faraldi, LBackground: We aimed to evaluate differences in outcome between patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) after elective versus acute surgery in a multinational cohort of very old patients (≥80 years; VIP). Predictors of mortality, with special emphasis on frailty, were assessed. Methods: In total, 5063 VIPs were included in this analysis, 922 were admitted after elective surgery or intervention, 4141 acut...
Pancreatic cancer presenting as colonic disease. A rare case report
Nogueira, S; Pinto, B; Silva, E; Garcia, H; Carneiro, FINTRODUCTION: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth major cause of cancer-related deaths. About 50% of the patients are diagnosed with advanced disease. Metastatic disease to the colon is a very rare entity with only 5 cases described in english literature. CASE PRESENTATION: Male, 60 years-old, presents to a surgical consult with the diagnosis of an adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. The physical exam revealed a p...
Withholding or Withdrawing of Life-Sustaining Therapy in Older Adults (≥ 80 yea...
Guidet, B; Flaatten, H; Boumendil, A; Morandi, A; Andersen, FH; Artigas, A; Bertolini, G; Cecconi, M; Christensen, S; Faraldi, L; Fjølner, J; Jung, CPURPOSE: To document and analyse the decision to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment (LST) in a population of very old patients admitted to the ICU. METHODS: This prospective study included intensive care patients aged ≥ 80 years in 309 ICUs from 21 European countries with 30-day mortality follow-up. RESULTS: LST limitation was identified in 1356/5021 (27.2%) of patients: 15% had a withholding decisi...
The Impact of Frailty on ICU and 30-Day Mortality and the Level of Care in Very...
Flaatten, H; De Lange, DW; Morandi, A; Andersen, FH; Artigas, A; Bertolini, G; Boumendil, A; Cecconi, M; Christensen, S; Faraldi, L; Fjølner, J; Jung, CPURPOSE: Very old critical ill patients are a rapid expanding group in the ICU. Indications for admission, triage criteria and level of care are frequently discussed for such patients. However, most relevant outcome studies in this group frequently find an increased mortality and a reduced quality of life in survivors. The main objective was to study the impact of frailty compared with other variables with rega...
