PrOgnosis in Pulmonary Embolism (PoPE): 30-day mortality risk score based on fi...
Gerardo, Filipa; Faria, Daniel; Silvério António, Pedro; Baltazar Ferreira, João; B Augusto, João; Bravo Baptista, Sérgio; Beringuilho, MarcoExistem vários sistemas de pontuação para a estratificação de doentes com tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP). As taxas de mortalidade no TEP agudo dependem principalmente da gravidade da disfunção cardiopulmonar na apresentação e das comorbidades associadas.

Gerardo, Filipa; Faria, Daniel; Silvério António, Pedro; Baltazar Ferreira, João; Beringuilho, Marco; Ferreira, Hilaryano; Fialho, Inês; Miranda, InêsIntroduction and objective: Several scoring systems have been developed for risk stratification in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). The Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) and its simplified version (sPESI) are among the most used, however the high number of variables hinder its application. Our aim was to derive an easy-to-perform score based on simple parameters obtained at admission to predi...
Infective Endocarditis: Review of All Cases in an Internal Medicine Department ...
Melo , Luís; Duarte, Joana; Roque, David; Ferraz de Oliveira , Inês; Faustino, Alexandra; Caetano, Joana; Oliveira, SusanaIntroduction: Despite an improvement in diagnostic and the- rapeutic procedures, infective endocarditis still carries a high mortality and morbidity that has been unchanged for the last 30 years. There has been a recent epidemiological shift trans- lated by an increase of prevalence in older patients, without the characteristic risk factors. This audit aims at analysing the characteristics of the patients admit...
The mediterranean overflow in the Gulf of Cadiz: a rugged journey
Sanchez-Leal, Ricardo F.; Jesus Bellanco, Maria; Miguel Fernandez-Salas, Luis; Garcia-Lafuente, Jesus; Gasser-Rubinat, Marc; Gonzalez-Pola, CesarThe pathways and transformations of dense water overflows, which depend on small-scale interactions between flow dynamics and erosional-depositional processes, are a central piece in the ocean's large-scale circulation. A novel, high-resolution current and hydrographic data set highlights the intricate pathway travelled by the saline Mediterranean Overflow as it enters the Atlantic. Interaction with the topogra...
