Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast: case series of a single centre
Fialho, M. Pinto; Gonçalves, L.; Ruivo, L.; Gradil, A.; Correia, L.Background & objectives: Metaplastic carcinoma breast cancer (MpBC) is a rare and heterogeneous group of invasive breast carcinomas. Despite some studies and case reports data are currently limited. Our work aims to evaluate the clinicopathological features and the prognosis of MpBC patients. Methods: Retrospective unicentric study of MpBC diagnosed from January 2000 to February 2024. Pathological reports were ...
Modified auramine-rhodamine stain contribution to identify mycobacterium tuberc...
Ruivo, L.; Fialho, M. Pinto; Santos, H. S.; Tavares, J. A.; Ferreira, C.Background & objectives: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT) infection often causes multiple organ granulomatous disease. Suspicious lesions are often biopsied to exclude malignancy. Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining is the histological standard diagnostic tool for MT, although auramine-rhodamine (AR) appears to have better detection ratios. Methods: We evaluated all biopsies with suspected clinical tuberculosis (combine...
Tumour infiltrating lymphocytes characterization in advanced non-small cell lun...
Ruivo, L.; Fialho, M. Pinto; Baptista, D.; Filipe, J.Background & objectives: Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) may have an impact on prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and may affect the efficacy of treatment. We aim to characterize TILs in advanced NSCLC with PD-L1 score>50%, treated with first-line immune checkpoint inhibitors. Methods: We performed a single-centre retrospective study. Patients diagnosed with advanced NSCLC with PD-L1>50%, fr...

Biomass ash-based soil improvers: impact of formulation and stabilization condi...
Cruz, Nuno; Avellan, A.; Ruivo, L.; Silva, F. C.; Rӧmkens, P.F.A.M.; Tarelho, L.A.C.; Rodrigues, S. M.Biomass ash and sludge from pulp and paper industry have enormous potential to be recycled and used as components in soil improvers. Those materials can supply large amounts of nutrients and organic matter and its recycling avoids the need of landfilling. However, these wastes cannot be directly applied to soils. Some form of processing is required to ensure efficient soil pH correction, fertilization, guarante...
