“Mechanical thrombectomy beyond 6 hours for acute ischemic strokes due to M2 oc...
Pereira Coutinho, Maria; Galego, Sofia; Alves, Marta; Papoila, A.L.; Fragata, Isabel; Paiva Nunes, AnaPublisher Copyright: © 2024 The Author(s); Background: The time frame for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is enlarging. Guidelines recommend MT until 6 h of symptom onset in M2 segment occlusions (grade IIB). In practice, it is frequently performed later. Aims: To assess the functional prognosis of AIS patients subjected to M2 segment's MT beyond 6 h, compared to standard interventio...
Controlled expansion stent grafts versus legacy stent grafts for transjugular i...
Fonseca, Afonso; Ramos, Rui; Coimbra, Élia; Caetano, António; Neves, Teresa; Pereira, Rafaela; Vasco, Inês Conde; Alves, Marta; Bilhim, TiagoPublisher Copyright: © The Author(s) 2025.; Purpose: Assess incidence of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in patients treated with 8-10 mm Controlled Expansion diameter VIATORR® (VCX) versus 10 mm diameter first-generation VIATORR® (Legacy) stent-grafts. Materials and methods: Single-centre retrospective study (January 2015 to March 2024), including 132 adul...
Global left ventricular myocardial work index and medium-term adverse cardiovas...
Timóteo, Ana Teresa; Branco, Luísa Moura; Galrinho, Ana; Rio, Pedro; Papoila, A.L.; Alves, Marta; Ferreira, Rui CruzPublisher Copyright: © 2024 The Author; Background: Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) has incremental prognostic value over ejection fraction (EF) in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but it is also load dependent. It has been recently demonstrated that Myocardial work (MW), integrating blood pressure with GLS, predicts long-term all-cause mortality. We aimed to f...

Queirós, Alexandra; Gomes, Laura; Pereira, Inês; Charepe, Nádia; Plancha, Marta; Rodrigues, Sofia; Cohen, Álvaro; Alves, Marta; Papoila, A.L.Publisher Copyright: © The Author(s) 2024.; Purpose: This study aimed to determine the association of first-trimester maternal serum biomarkers with preterm birth (PTB), fetal growth restriction (FGR) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) in twin pregnancies. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of twin pregnancies followed at Maternidade Dr. Alfredo da Costa, Lisbon, Portugal, between January ...
Laser-Based Length-Measuring Board for the Measurement of Infant Body Length fr...
Pereira-da-Silva, Luís; Henriques, Rafael B.; Virella, Daniel; Mascarenhas, Andreia; Papoila, A.L.; Alves, Marta; Fernandes, HorácioPublisher Copyright: © 2024 by the authors.; Introduction: Opening the incubator side wall to insert a non-sterile length-measuring device carries the risk of microbial contamination and thermal instability for preterm infants. To reduce this inconvenience, a laser-based length-measuring board is proposed to measure body length from outside the incubator. Methods: This device has two laser-line-shaped cursors w...
Cyto-Histological Profile of MicroRNAs as Diagnostic Biomarkers in Differentiat...
Matos, Maria de Lurdes; Pinto, Mafalda; Alves, Marta; Canberk, Sule; Gonçalves, Ana; Bugalho, Maria João; Papoila, A.L.; Soares, PaulaPublisher Copyright: © 2024 by the authors.; Introduction: The repertoire of microRNAs (miRNAs) in thyroid carcinomas starts to be elucidated. Among differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTCs), papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most frequent. The assessment of miRNAs expression may contribute to refine the pre-surgical diagnosis in order to obtain a personalized and more effective treatment for patients. Ai...

This is t...
Low Cubilin/Myeloperoxidase ratio as a promising biomarker for prognosis of hig...
Medeiros, Mariana Silva; Botelho de Carvalho, Luís André; Alves, Marta; Papoila, Ana; Baptista Carreira dos Santos, Hugo MiguelPublisher Copyright: © The Author(s) 2024. Open access funding provided by FCT|FCCN (b-on).; Purpose: T1 bladder cancer is known for its high progression and recurrence rates. Identifying aggressive tumours at the non-muscle-invasive stage is crucial to allow early interventions and subsequently increase patient survival. This study aimed to investigate the potential of the cubilin/myeloperoxidase (CUBN/MPO) ra...

Individualized Fortification Based on Measured Macronutrient Content of Human M...
Cardoso, Manuela; Virella, Daniel; Papoila, A.L.; Alves, Marta; Macedo, Israel; E Silva, Diana; Pereira-da-Silva, LuísFunding: This study was partially supported by the Portuguese Neonatal Society through the Grant ‘Nutricia Early Life Nutrition 2019’.; The optimal method for human milk (HM) fortification has not yet been determined. This study assessed whether fortification relying on measured HM macronutrient content (Miris AB analyzer, Upsala, Sweden) composition is superior to fortification based on assumed HM macronutrien...
