Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography on Pediatric Patients: Experienc...
Saraiva, Rita Ornelas; Borges, Verónica Pavão; Silva, Mário Jorge; Loureiro, Rafaela; Capela, Tiago; Ramos, Gonçalo; Canena, Jorge; Mateus Dias, AntónioIntroduction: Experience with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the pediatric population is limited. Few medical centers have experts specifically trained in pediatric therapeutic endoscopy. As a result, patients are generally referred to adult endoscopists with high experience in the procedure. The aim of this study was to characterize the experience of an adult endoscopy unit with ERCP ...
COVID-19 Vaccination in Liver Cirrhosis: Safety and Immune and Clinical Responses.
Canha, Inês; Silva, Mário Jorge; Silva, Maria Azevedo; Sarmento Costa, Mara; Saraiva, Rita Ornelas; Ruge, André; Machado, Mariana VerdelhoIntroduction: Three years after the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination in liver cirrhosis (LC) patients remain controversial. We aimed to study the safety, immunological, and clinical responses of LC patients to COVID-19 vaccination. Methods: Prospective multicentric study in adults with LC eligible for COVID-19 vaccination, without prior known infection. Patie...
Innovation of textiles through natural by-products and wastes
Coelho, Lorena; Magalhães, Ana Isabel; Fernandes, Sara; Batista, Patrícia; Pintado, Maria Manuela; Faria, Pedro; Costa, Catarina; Moura, BrunaNowadays, the competitiveness of the textile industry and the consumers’ interest have been increasing the demand for innovative and functional textiles. Allied to this, sustainable developments are playing an increasingly important role in the textile industry. Such concerns led to a new development strategy based on the valorization of bio-based wastes and by-products of different industries, inserting this i...
Pregnancy as a period of enhanced risk for non-cavitated caries lesions
Rio, Rute; Sampaio-Maia, Benedita; Pereira, Maria Lurdes; Silva, Mário Jorge; Azevedo, ÁlvaroPurpose: To investigate if pregnancy represents a period of increased risk of non-cavitated dental caries related to changes in saliva and oral health behaviours. Materials and Methods: A non-randomised longitudinal study was performed with 27 pregnant women and 25 nonpregnant women, who were evaluated twice with the same time gap (24 weeks on average). At the first visit sociodemographic and oral health-relate...
Gynecological history up to diagnosis and pregnancy outcomes in diagnosed Wilso...
Roseira, Joana; Lopes, Rita; Silva, Mário Jorge; Vieira, Ana Margarida; Sampaio, Margarida; Calinas, FilipeIntroduction: most studies narrowly focus on pregnancy outcome comparisons between Wilson's disease (WD) patients on and off treatment. We aimed to identify menses irregularities in untreated WD, and to evaluate pregnancy outcomes in treated WD patients as compared to matched controls (with and without liver disease). Methods: females with WD, hepatitis C (liver disease controls), and other gastrointestinal con...
Sociedade Portuguesa de Cuidados Intensivos guidelines for stress ulcer prophyl...
Mendes, João João; Silva, Mário Jorge; Miguel, Luís Lopes Madureira Silva; Gonçalves, Maria Albertina; Oliveira, Maria João; Oliveira, Catarina da LuzCritically ill patients are at risk of developing stress ulcers in the upper digestive tract. Agents that suppress gastric acid are commonly prescribed to reduce the incidence of clinically important stress ulcer-related gastrointestinal bleeding. However, the indiscriminate use of stress ulcer prophylaxis in all patients admitted to the intensive care unit is not warranted and can have potential adverse clinic...
Oral yeast colonization throughout pregnancy
Rio, Rute; Simões-Silva, Liliana; Garro, Sofia; Silva, Mário Jorge; Azevedo, Álvaro; Sampaio-Maia, BeneditaBackground: Recent studies suggest that placenta may harbour a unique microbiome that may have origin in maternal oral microbiome. Although the major physiological and hormonal adjustments observed in pregnant women lead to biochemical and microbiological modifications of the oral environment, very few studies evaluated the changes suffered by the oral microbiota throughout pregnancy. So, the aim of our study w...

Garcia, Rosana; Coelho, Ana; Paula, Anabela; Ferreira, Manuel; Caramelo, Francisco; Barros, Luisa; Batista, Carla; Melo, Miguel; Silva, Mário JorgeIntrodução: A diabetes mellitus tipo 1 e a saúde oral relacionam-se de forma estrita e recíproca, reconhecendo-se nos pacientes diabéticos uma maior suscetibilidade a uma grande variedade de patologias orais. O objetivo do presente estudo consistiu em investigar a relação entre a prevalência da cárie dentária em indivíduos diabéticos tipo 1 tratados com bomba infusora de insulina e a de indivíduos não diabético...
Prevalence of Dental Caries in Type 1 Diabetic Patients Treated with Insulin Pump
Garcia, Rosana; Coelho, Ana; Paula, Anabela; Ferreira, Manuel Marques; Caramelo, Francisco; Barros, Luísa; Batista, Carla; Melo, MiguelIntroduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus and oral health are strictly related on a reciprocal basis, and an increased susceptibility to a wide variety of oral diseases is recognised in these patients. The aim of the present study was to establish a relationship between the prevalence of dental caries in Type 1 diabetic patients treated with insulin pump and that of non-diabetic patients.Material and Methods: An o...
The biochemistry of saliva throughout pregnancy
Rio, Rute; Azevedo, Álvaro; Simões-Silva, Liliana; Marinho, Jorge; Silva, Mário Jorge; Sampaio-Maia, BeneditaBACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Sialometric and sialochemical analyses during pregnancy are not consistent, and frequently contradictory in terms of salivary flow rate, pH, and concentration of calcium, phosphorous, sodium, potassium, chloride, glucose and α-amylase. We, therefore, measured the evolution of these parameters throughout pregnancy. METHOD: A cross-sectional study compared sialometric and sialochemical ana...
