Pancreas Rejection in the Artificial Intelligence Era: New Tool for Signal Pati...

Introduction: Pancreas transplantation is currently the only treatment that can re-establish normal endocrine pancreatic function. Despite all efforts, pancreas allograft survival and rejection remain major clinical problems. The purpose of this study was to identify features that could signal patients at risk of pancreas allograft rejection. Methods: We collected 74 features from 79 patients who underwent simu...

A Common Variant in the CDK8 Gene Is Associated with Sporadic Pituitary Adenoma...

The majority of pituitary adenomas occur in a sporadic context, and in the absence of known genetic predisposition. Three common variants at the NEBL (rs2359536), PCDH15 (rs10763170) and CDK8 (rs17083838) loci were previously associated with sporadic pituitary adenomas in the Han Chinese population, but these findings have not yet been replicated in any other population. The aim of this case-control study was t...

Predicting Function Delay with a Machine Learning Model: Improve the Long-term ...

The impact of delayed graft function on outcomes following various solid organ transplants is well documented and addressed in the literature. Delayed graft function following various solid organ transplants is associated with both short- and long-term graft survival issues. In a retrospective cohort study including 106 patients we evaluated whether pancreas graft survival differs according to moment of insulin...

Hepatectomia Esquerda Robótica. Abordagem Caudal

The ceramide activated protein phosphatase Sit4 impairs sphingolipid dynamics, ...

The Niemann-Pick type C is a rare neurodegenerative disease that results from loss-of-function point mutations in NPC1 or NPC2, which affect the homeostasis of sphingolipids and sterols in human cells. We have previously shown that yeast lacking Ncr1, the orthologue of human NPC1 protein, display a premature ageing phenotype and higher sensitivity to oxidative stress associated with mitochondrial dysfunctions a...

Cistadenocarcinoma do Ovário. A Propósito de um Caso Clínico

Os autores apresentam o caso clínico de uma doente de 49 anos, internada por poliadenopatias e sintomatologia respiratória, cujo diagnóstico definitivo de cistadenocarcinoma seroso do ovário, foi efectuado através do exame necrópsico. O quadro clínico era dominado por extensa invasão linfática predominantemente supradiafragmática, apresentação não habitual deste tipo de neoplasia.

Pulmonary emphysema in a patient with Turner's syndrome.

Turner's Syndrome was first described in 1938 by Henry Turner and has an incidence of 1:3000 live female births. The authors present an unusual case of a 48-year-old woman with late diagnosed Turner's Syndrome. Whose karyotype was (46,X,i(Xq)), associated with a pulmonary emphysema and pulmonary hypertension. The case and the methods of study are presented. Some aspects of this case, namely the hypothesis of an...

Enfisema Pulmonar em Doente com Síndrome de Turner

O Síndrome de Turner foi descrito pela primeira vez em 1938 por Henry Turner e tem uma incidência de 1:3000 mulheres nascidas. Os autores apresentam um caso raro de uma mulher de 48 anos com Síndrome de Turner, cujo cariótipo era (46, X, i (Xq)), tardiamente diagnosticado, associado a enfisema pulmonar e hipertensão pulmonar. O caso e os métodos de estudo são apresentados. Alguns aspectos deste caso, nomeadamen...
