Chronic Intestinal Failure and Short Bowel Syndrome in Adults: The State of the...
Vara-Luiz, F; Glória, L; Mendes, I; Carlos, S; Guerra, P; Nunes, G; Oliveira, CS; Ferreira, A; Santos, AP; Fonseca, JBackground: Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a devastating malabsorptive condition and the most common cause of chronic intestinal failure (CIF). During the intestinal rehabilitation process, patients may need parenteral support for months or years, parenteral nutrition (PN), or hydration/electrolyte supplementation, as a bridge for the desired enteral autonomy. Summary: Several classification criteria have been h...
Case Report: Pheochromocytoma and Synchronous Neuroblastoma in a Family With He...
Duarte, DB; Ferreira, L; Santos, AP; Costa, C; Lima, J; Santos, C; Afonso, M; Teixeira, MR; Carvalho, R; Cardoso, MHIntroduction: Pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-producing neuroendocrine tumours arising from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or extra-adrenal sympathetic paraganglia. Recent studies have indicated that up to 40% of pheochromocytomas could be attributable to an inherited germline variant in an increasing list of susceptibility genes. Germline variants of the MYC-associated factor (MAX) gene have ...
Mixed medullary-papillary thyroid carcinoma with mixed lymph node metastases: A...
Guerreiro, V; Costa, C; Oliveira, J; Santos, AP; Farinha, M; Jácome, M; Freitas, P; Carvalho, D; Torres, IMixed medullary-follicular-derived carcinoma is a very rare event. It is extremely important to make the correct diagnosis, due to prognostic and treatment implications. A genetic study of these patients is advisable to exclude the presence of MEN 2.

Disseminated Well-Differentiated Gastro-Entero-Pancreatic Tumors Are Associated...
Santos, AP; Castro, C; Antunes, L; Henrique, R; Cardoso, MH; Monteiro, MPThe association of well-differentiated gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (WD GEP-NETs) with metabolic syndrome (MetS), abdominal obesity, and fasting glucose abnormalities was recently described. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the presence of MetS or any MetS individual component was also influenced by GEP-NET characteristics at diagnosis. A cohort of patients with WD GEP-NETs (n = 1...
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia characterization in portugal: R...
Santos, AP; Vinagre, J; Soares, P; Claro, I; Sanches, AC; Gomes, L; Fernandes, I; Catarino, AL; Preto, J; Pereira, BD; Marques, AP; Rodrigues, FBackground. 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 ...
Visceral Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome Are Associated with Well-Differentiated...
Santos, AP; Santos, AC; Castro, C; Raposo, L; Pereira, SS; Torres, I; Henrique, R; Cardoso, H; Monteiro, MPThe determinants for gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) recent burden are matters of debate. Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are well established risks for several cancers even though no link with GEP-NETs was yet established. Our aim in this study was to investigate whether well-differentiated GEP-NETs were associated with obesity and MetS. Patients with well-differentiated GEP-NETs (...
Interrupção voluntária da gravidez - correlação dos achados pré-natais e post-m...
Caeiro, F; Branco, R; Marques, M; Santos, I; Ferreira, AP; Fonseca, J; Santos, AP; Matos, FA interrupção voluntária da gravidez (IVG) é uma situação de elevada complexidade a vários níveis, implicando um diagnóstico pré-natal preciso e uma corroboração post-mortem do mesmo, com eventual acréscimo de informação que contribua para um adequado aconselhamento genético aos casais. Os autores pretenderam avaliar a qualidade de diagnóstico pré-natal efectuado no seu centro, estudando a população submetida a...
Amniotic Fluid Embolism. Is a New Pregnancy Possible? Case Report.
Caeiro, AF; Ramilo, I; Santos, AP; Ferreira, E; Batalha, IAmniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but potentially catastrophic clinical condition, characterized by a combination of signs and symptoms that reflect respiratory distress, cardiovascular collapse and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Its pathogenesis is still unclear. More recently, the traditional view of obstruction of pulmonary capillary vessels by amniotic fluid emboli as the main explanati...
Postpartum hysterectomy: 15-year review
Ramilo, I; Caeiro, AF; Mendinhos, G; Santos, AP; Matos, FOverview and Aims: Postpartum Hysterectomy (PPH) is considered an obstetrical emergency. Profuse bleeding, the most common indication, may jeopardize the puerperal woman. If not controlled by conservative measures, it may require PPH. Its incidence varies between 0.13 to 5.38 per 1000 births. Women with underlying conditions such as placenta previa, fi- broleiomyomas or previous cesarean section (CS) are at inc...
