Outcomes of ventricular tachycardia ablation in patients with ischemic and non-...
Gomes, DA; Paiva, MS; Matos, D; Bello, AR; Rodrigues, G; Carmo, J; Ferreira, J; Moscoso Costa, F; Galvão Santos, P; Carmo, P; Cavaco, DIntroduction and objectives: Catheter ablation (CA) is effective in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Although some observational data suggest patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) have less favorable outcomes when compared to those with an ischemic etiology (ICM), direct comparisons are rarely reported. We aimed to compare the outcomes of VT ablation in a propensity score matched popula...
Mycotic Aortic Aneurysm: a Ticking Time-Bomb!
Bento, R; Rodrigues, G; Alves, G; Garcia, R; Pais, F; Ferreira, MEINTRODUCTION: Mycotic or primary infected aortic aneurysms comprise aproximately 1.3% of all aortic aneurysms and may be caused by septic emboli to the vasa vasorum, by haematogenous spread during bacteraemia or by direct extension of an adjacent infection leading to an infectious degeneration of the arterial wall and aneurysm formation. The objective of this report is to describe a clinical case of a complicat...
Review of Piezoelectrical Materials Potentially Useful for Peripheral Nerve Repair
Casal, D; Casimiro, MH; Ferreira, L; Leal, JP; Rodrigues, G; Lopes, R; Lino Moura, D; Gonçalves, L; Lago, J; Pais, D; Santos, PIt has increasingly been recognized that electrical currents play a pivotal role in cell migration and tissue repair, in a process named "galvanotaxis". In this review, we summarize the current evidence supporting the potential benefits of electric stimulation (ES) in the physiology of peripheral nerve repair (PNR). Moreover, we discuss the potential of piezoelectric materials in this context. The use of these ...
Sentinel data for critical raw materials (CRM) exploration: First results of th...
Cardoso Fernandes, J; Carvalho, M; Azzalini, A; Rodrigues, G; Monteiro, G; Alexandre Lima; Ana TeodoroTo achieve sustainable development goals, it is crucial to ensure the best practices through the whole mining cycle of critical raw materials (CRM) used in high-Tech, low-carbon goods (batteries, wind turbines, electronics). This is the aim of the SECURE AND SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY OF RAW MATERIALS FOR EU INDUSTRY (S34I) Horizon Europe (HE) project that began on January 1st, 2023. S34I is investigating new data-driv...
Cirurgia Aberta de Aneurisma da Aorta Abdominal por Internos de Cirurgia Vascul...
Bento, R; Rodrigues, G; Camacho, N; Catarino, J; Correia, R; Vieira, I; Garcia, R; Pais, F; Ribeiro, T; Cardoso, J; Ferreira, R; Bastos Gonçalves, FINTRODUÇÃO: Nas últimas duas décadas, a abordagem de tratamento de aneurisma da aorta abdominal (AAA) mudou drasticamente de cirurgia aberta para cirurgia endovascular. A diminuição de cirurgia de AAA convencional , open aneurysm repair (OAR), levanta preocupações relativamente à competência dos futuros cirurgiões vasculares para executar este procedimento complexo e de alto risco. O principal objetivo deste es...

Beck, E; Mandalia, S; Yfantopoulos, P; Jones, C; Bremner, S; Whetham, J; Cunha, AS; Teofilo, E; Rodrigues, G; Borges, MBackground: The aim of this study was to calculate the cost-effectiveness of the EmERGE Pathway of Care for medically stable people living with HIV in the Hospital Capuchos, Centro Hospitalar Universitário de Lisboa Central (HC-CHLC). The app enables individuals to receive HIV treatment information and communicate with caregivers. Methods: This before-and-after study collected the use of services data 1 year be...
Efficiency of the EmERGE Pathway of Care in Five European HIV Centres
Beck, EJ; Mandalia, S; Yfantopoulos, P; Leon, A; Merino, MJ; Garcia, F; Wittevogel, M; Apers, L; Benkovic, I; Zekan, S; Begovac, J; Cunha, ASObjective: We aimed to calculate the efficiency of the EmERGE Pathway of Care in five European HIV clinics, developed and implemented for medically stable people living with HIV. Methods: Participants were followed up for 1 year before and after implementation of EmERGE, between April 2016 and October 2019. Micro-costing studies were performed in the outpatient services of the clinics. Unit costs for outpatient...
Clusters of functional status in COPD: an exploratory analysis
Rodrigues, G; Afreixo, V; Souto-Miranda, S; Machado, F; Rocha, V; Mendes, A; Martins, V; Simão, P; Marques, AFunctional status is highly meaningful to the daily life of people with COPD but is often overlooked by treatmentoptions. Understanding its heterogeneity, might contribute to better personalised care. We aimed to explore clustersof functional status in people with COPD. Lung function, impact of the disease, activity-related dyspnoea and functional status were collected cross-sectionally.The 6-minute walk test, ...

APTUS - a Experiência de uma Instituição
Bento, R; Rodrigues, G; Ferreira, R; Camacho, N; Catarino, J; Correia, R; Garcia, R; Pais, F; Vieira, I; Bastos Gonçalves, F; Ferreira, MEIntrodução: O Endoleak tipo I (EL1) é frequentemente associado a um risco aumentado de expansão aneurismática com consequente rotura secundária. O Heli-FX EndoAnchor system (Aptus Endosystems®) surgiu como uma alternativa para o tratamento do EL1, cujo mecanismo consiste em “ancorar com parafusos” a prótese à parede aórtica, de forma a obter uma melhor selagem/aposição. Objetivos: O principal objectivo deste es...
