Spontaneous Splenic Rupture – A Complication Of Cirrhosis With Portal Hypertension

 Introduction: Splenic rupture is a potentially life-threatening condition, often associated with trauma. Spontaneous rupture is very rare and is usually reported as being secondary to underlying pathological conditions. Case Report: An 89-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with a sudden-onset abdominal pain in the left hypochondrium following a coughing episode. Investigation re...

RISCO DE QUEDA NOS IDOSOS: MAIS VALE PREVENIR QUE REMEDIAR!

Introdução: Os episódios de queda nos idosos são considerados um problema de saúde pública. As alterações fisiológicas, comportamentais e ambientais, tais como as barreiras arquitetónicas, são os principais fatores de risco para a ocorrência de quedas nos idosos. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o risco de queda em idosos polimedicados, com idade igual ou superior a 75 anos, numa freguesia da área de abrangênc...

Study of associations between COVID-19 and bacterial infections: a retrospectiv...

The COVID-19 pandemic disease, caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (Sars-CoV-2), has affected millions of people worldwide. Clinical practice highlights that the number of patients with COVID-19 diagnosed with bacterial infections during periods of hospitalization is increasing. Rapid characterization of co-infection is essential in the treatment of most patients with COVID-19, as it c...

Ischemic Stroke as First Clinical Evidence of Malignancy-Associated Disseminate...

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is an acquired clinical and laboratory syndrome that results in excessive and unregulated activation of the coagulation cascade. Although thrombotic manifestations are common, clinically significant cerebral arterial ischemia is rarely reported. We report the case of an 80-year-old man admitted for multifocal stroke, altered coagulation tests, and worsening renal fun...

Enhancing attention/concentration by REHACOG

In the last decades, several studies in the field of Psychology have examined information on different occurrences related to the attention construct. In order to verify the potential of some modules of REHACOG intervention program, we performed a descriptive and exploratory study with 37 children and adolescents, female and male, with attentional weaknesses, aged between 7 and 17 years. The sample was divided ...

Seasonal effect in nutritional quality and safety of the wild sea urchin Parace...

Paracentrotus lividus gonads are gastronomic delicacies widely appreciated in Europe. Two commercially exploited populations of sea urchins were characterized, for the first time, in terms of gonad quality (market-related traits such as colour, texture and nutritional value) and safety (contaminants levels) to define the best season for harvesting this valuable resource. Spawning occurred between spring-summer,...

The effect of sex, season and gametogenic cycle on gonad yield, biochemical com...

Sea urchin population harvest in the North Atlantic coast of Portugal was characterized in terms of gonad yield, nutritional composition and important market-related traits, over one reproductive cycle (March 2016 to March 2017). Most of the quality attributes showed a seasonal variation strongly dependent on sea urchin sex. Maximum gonad yield (18%) was observed in March 2017. A single spawning event occurred ...

Effect of protein and lipid levels in diets for adult sea urchin Paracentrotus ...

Paracentrotus lividus gonads are considered a prized seafood delicacy due to its organoleptic features. The increasing market demand for sea urchin depleted several wild stocks, thus aquaculture can play an important role in supplying high-quality animals. Nevertheless, the success of this activity largely depends on the development of nutritionally balanced diets capable of producing excellent gonads. In this ...

Does a ghrelin stimulus during zebrafish embryonic stage modulate its performan...

Metabolic programming refers to the induction, deletion, or impaired development of a somatic structure or "setting" of a physiological system by an early life stimulus operated at a critical period during development. Ghrelin is the only known orexigenic gut hormone, is an acylated peptide that acts as an endogenous ligand specific for growth-hormone secretagogue-receptor. The aim of the present work was to ev...
