Background: The incidence of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) has been increasing in the last five decades, but there is no large-scale data regarding these tumours in Portugal. We conducted a cross-sectional, multicentric study in main Portuguese centers to evaluate the clinical, pathological, and therapeutic profile of GEP-NENs. Methods: From November, 2012, to July, 2014, data from ...
Background: Preterm birth is certainly a public health problem. Aside from being an important cause of mortality, prematurity increases the risk of serious lifetime disabilities. Objective: To assess the overall survival, causes of death and neonatal morbidities associated with prematurity of newborns less than 29 weeks of gestational age (GA). Methods: Retrospective study including all preterm infants less tha...
Flexible and stretchable materials are increasingly being investigated for future technological platforms, polymer based materials being the most suitable candidates for those emerging technologies. This work reports on polymer based scintillator composites based on the thermoplastic elastomer Styrene-Ethylene/Butadiene-Styrene (SEBS) and Gd2O3:Eu3+ scintillator nanoparticles, to form a polymer-based flexible a...

In an underwater environment it is difficult to implement solutions for wireless communications. The existing technologies using electromagnetic waves or lasers are not very efficient due to the large attenuation in the aquatic environment. Ultrasound reveals a lower attenuation, and thus has been used in underwater long-distance communications. The much slower speed of acoustic propagation in water (about 1500...
Os autores apresentam o caso clínico de uma criança de 5 anos, previamente saudável, que desde há 5 meses apresentava lesões cutâneas eritemato-vesiculo-bolhosas, recorrentes, interpretadas como impétigo bolhoso e medicada com antibioterapia geral, sem melhoria. A histologia demonstrou a existência de um descolamento dermo-epidérmico, contendo polimorfonucleares neutrófilos, eosinófilos e fibrina, e a imunofluo...
Leukopenia in kidney transplant patients is frequent, it causes potentially life-threatening complications, but it is often poorly characterized. Opportunistic infections, immunologic disturbances and drug-related toxicity are principal causes of single or multilineage cytopenias. Tacrolimus-induced leukopenia is a less recognized but frequent complication. We describe one patient with leukopenia developing wit...
