Ainda há lugar para a revascularização ultradistal na era endovascular? A propó...
Garrido, P; Pedro, L; Fernandes, R; Sousa, G; Pato, M; Silvestre, L; Fernandes, JA cirurgia endovascular tem actualmente um papel preponderante no tratamento de doentes com isquemia crítica (IC) por doença do sector tíbio-peronial, reduzindo substancialmente o número de procedimentos de revascularização aberta. No entanto, quando não é possível a abordagem endovascular ou na sua falência e existindo um padrão apropriado, podemos considerar a cirurgia de bypass distal ou ultradistal como uma...
Aging is Associated with Impaired Renal Function, INF-gamma Induced Inflammatio...
Costa, E; Fernandes, J; Ribeiro, S; Sereno, J; Garrido, P; Rocha-Pereira, P; Coimbra, S; Catarino, C; Belo, L; Bronze-da-Rocha, E; Vala, H; Alves, ROur aim was to contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of anemia in elderly, by studying how aging affects renal function, iron metabolism, erythropoiesis and the inflammatory response, using an experimental animal model. The study was performed in male Wistar, a group of young rats with 2 months age and an old one with 18 months age. Old rats presented a significant higher urea, creatinine,...

Reis, F; Parada, B; Teixeira de Lemos, E; Garrido, P; Dias, A; Piloto, N; Baptista, S; Sereno, J; Eufrásio, P; Costa, E; Rocha-Pereira, PThe purpose of this study was to compare the effects of sirolimus (SRL) vs cyclosporine (CsA) concerning the cardiovascular mechanisms hypothetically contributing to hypertension development. Three rat groups were studied: control (vehicle), CsA (5 mg/kg/d), and SRL (1 mg/kg/d). The following parameters were evaluated after 7 weeks of treatment: blood pressured (BP) and heart rate (HR; tail cuff), lipid profile...

Parada, B; Sereno, J; Reis, F; Teixeira-Lemos, E; Garrido, P; Pinto, AF; Xavier da Cunha, MF; Pinto, R; Mota, A; Figueiredo, A; Teixeira, FPURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor in rat bladder cancer chemoprevention, as well as to assess the relevance of inflammation, proliferation and oxidative stress in tumor growth and in its prevention. RESULTS: The main findings were: (I) the incidence of carcinoma was: control: 0% (0/8); BBN: 65% (13/20); CEL: 0% (0/8) and BBN + CEL: 12.5% (1/8); (II) the mean tum...
