Determinants of HIV-1 transmission clusters and transmitted drug resistance in ...
Abrantes, Ricardo; Pimentel, Victor; Sebastião, Cruz; Miranda, Mafalda N. S.; Seabra, Sofia; Silva, Ana Rita; Diniz, António; Ascenção, BiancaIn the EU/EEA, men who have sex with men (MSM) is a priority group for the prevention and control of HIV-1 infection. In Portugal, the 2023 HIV incidence rate was 8.2 per 100,000 inhabitants, with 876 new infections, 41.7% in MSM. We aim to characterize HIV-1 transmission clusters (TC) and transmitted drug resistance (TDR) and its sociodemographic, behavioral, clinical, and viral genomic determinants in MSM new...

Sociodemographic, Clinical, and Behavioral Factors Associated with Sexual Trans...
Miranda, Mafalda N. S.; Pimentel, Victor; Graça, Jacqueline; Seabra, Sofia G.; Sebastião, Cruz S.; Diniz, António; Faria, Domitília; Teófilo, EugénioIntroduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) continue to occur at high levels. According to the WHO, each year there are an estimated 374 million new infections with syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis. STIs are associated with an increased risk of acquiring HIV infection. Migrants are reportedly highly affected by STIs. Objectives: This study aims to characterize factors associated with ...

Abrantes, Ricardo; Pimentel, Victor; Miranda, Mafalda N. S.; Silva, Ana Rita; Diniz, António; Ascenção, Bianca; Piñeiro, Carmela; Koch, CarmoIntroduction: HIV late presentation (LP) remains excessive in Europe. We aimed to analyze the factors associated with late presentation in the MSM population newly diagnosed with HIV in Portugal between 2014 and 2019. Methods: We included 391 newly HIV-1 diagnosed Men who have Sex with Men (MSM), from the BESTHOPE project, in 17 countrywide Portuguese hospitals. The data included clinical and socio-behavioral q...

Pingarilho, Marta; Pimentel, Victor; Miranda, Mafalda N. S.; Silva, Ana Rita; Diniz, António; Ascenção, Bianca Branco; Piñeiro, Carmela; Koch, CarmoObjective: To describe and analyze transmitted drug resistance (TDR) between 2014 and 2019 in newly infected patients with HIV-1 in Portugal and to characterize its transmission networks. Methods: Clinical, socioepidemiological, and risk behavior data were collected from 820 newly diagnosed patients in Portugal between September 2014 and December 2019. The sequences obtained from drug resistance testing were us...

New insights in adult Still disease's knowledge.
Cabanelas, Nuno; Ferreira, Patrícia; Esteves, Maria Cristina; Roxo, FaustoAdult Still's Disease has systemic consequences, an inflammatory origin and unknown etiology. Knowledge about this disease is still limited, but some evolution has occurred in the last few years.Using a clinical case as example, the purpose of this paper is to review actual knowledge about Adult Still's Disease, giving special relevance to the most recent findings.Search in Pubmed and Cochrane database (1970-20...
Insulinoma
Martorell Sampor, Francisca; Roxo, FaustoPatients with insulinoma (a relatively rare entity – about 10 cases per million inhabitants) are frequently seen in a number of out-patient clinics of diverse specialities before the diagnosis is made. Hypoglycaemia symptomatology frequently leads to these patients being referred for psychiatric evaluation.This was the case of the patient presented in this article, who was admitted for the fi rst time to an Int...
