Conservative Management of Asymptomatic Adnexal Masses Classified as Benign by ...
Brito, ME; Borges, A; Rodrigues, S; Ambrósio, P; Condeço, R; Lacerda, A; Bernardo, MJ; Pinto, P; Djokovic, DThis prospective multicentric study aiming to determine the incidence of complications (malignant transformation, torsion or rupture) during conservative management of adnexal masses was performed in two Portuguese tertiary referral hospitals. It included ≥18-year-old, non-pregnant patients with asymptomatic adnexal masses (associated IOTA ADNEX risk of malignancy < 10%) sonographically diagnosed between Januar...

Comparative analysis of the bronchoalveolar microbiome in Portuguese patients w...
Seixas, S; Kolbe, AR; Gomes, S; Sucena, M; Sousa, C; Vaz Rodrigues, L; Teixeira, G; Pinto, P; Tavares de Abreu, T; Bárbara, C; Semedo, J; Mota, LThe lung is inhabited by a diverse microbiome that originates from the oropharynx by a mechanism of micro-aspiration. Its bacterial biomass is usually low; however, this condition shifts in lung cancer (LC), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD). These chronic lung disorders (CLD) may coexist in the same patient as comorbidities and share common risk factors, among whi...
Assessment of Cancer-related Cognitive Impairment: Methodological Issues
Pinto, P; Barbosa, A; Ruano, L; Lunet, NCognitive decline associated with cancer or its treatment has been addressed in many studies, though with inconsistent findings, which largely reflects the diversity of methods that have been used. In this context, we read with much interest the paper recently published in the Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology (Clapp et al., 2018) about the impact of using different reference populations on breast cancer-rel...
The influence of 17β-oestradiol on lymphopoiesis and immune system ontogenesis ...
Moreira, Catarina; Paiola, Matthieu; Duflot, Aurélie; Varó, Inma; Sitjà-Bobadilla, Ariadna; Knigge, Thomas; Pinto, P; Monsinjon, TiphaineThe female sex steroid 17β-oestradiol (E2) is involved in the regulation of numerous physiological functions, including the immune system development and performance. The role of oestrogens during ontogenesis is, however, not well studied. In rodents and fish, thymus maturation appears to be oestrogen-dependent. Never theless, little is known about the function of oestrogen in immune system development. To furt...
