Catatonia in Dementia: A Systematic Review of Case Reports and Case Series
Câmara Pestana, P; Estibeiro, MJ; Côrte-Real, B; Cordeiro, C; Simões, I; Duarte, G; Simões do Couto, F; Novais, FBackground: Catatonia is a neuropsychiatric syndrome characterized by motor, behavioral, and autonomic abnormalities. It is often underdiagnosed in geriatric patients with dementia despite established diagnostic criteria and treatment options. Objective: This systematic review investigates catatonia in the elderly, particularly those with dementia, to examine their clinical presentation, treatment response, and...
Cytology applied to the animal field: fibroadenoma in female cat, discussion of...
Eliseu, C; Murça, I; Simões, I; Cassali, G; Sousa, V; Agapito, PBiological, genetic, histopathological, molecular, and morphological similarities have been made between human tumours and spontaneous neoplasms in pets. As such, spontaneous neoplasms in companion animals have been recognized as advantageous for the study of comparative oncobiology. Although it is difficult to estimate their prevalence and incidence, it is known that breast tumours are the most frequent type o...
Síndrome Hemofagocítica: um Suspeito a Considerar
Souto Moura, T; Simões, I; Lemos, M; Azevedo, L; Gerivaz, R; Fonseca, PA síndrome hemofagocítica é uma entidade rara e potencialmente fatal, caracterizada por uma activação descontrolada do sistema imunitário, manifestando-se através de sintomas e sinais clínicos e laboratoriais de inflamação sistémica extrema. Pela inespecificidade dos mesmos, o seu diagnóstico requer um elevado grau de suspeição para implementação de terapêutica adequada e atempada. Os autores apresentam o caso ...
Intracoronary Delivery of Human Mesenchymal/Stromal Stem Cells: Insights from C...
Fiarresga, A; Mata, M; Cavaco-Gonçalves, S; Selas, M; Simões, I; Oliveira, E; Carrapiço, B; Cardim, N; Cabral, J; Cruz Ferreira, R; Silva, CBACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells have unique properties favorable to their use in clinical practice and have been studied for cardiac repair. However, these cells are larger than coronary microvessels and there is controversy about the risk of embolization and microinfarctions, which could jeopardize the safety and efficacy of intracoronary route for their delivery. The index of microcirculatory resis...
Miocardiopatia de Takotsubo: na Origem do Choque Cardiogénico
Fevereiro, MC; Simões, I; Lampreia, F; Marcão, I; Godinho, A; Lopes, VA miocardiopatia de Takotsubo, de etiologia desconhecida, caracteriza-se pela disfunção sistólica súbita e transitória dos segmentos médio-apicais do ventrículo esquerdo, sem doença coronária significativa, com total normalização das alterações segmentares. É mais frequente em mulheres de meia-idade, implicando diagnóstico diferencial com a sindrome coronária aguda. Apresentamos o caso de uma mulher de 59 anos ...
Cadmium Impact on Root Exudates of Sorghum and Maize Plants: A Speciation Study
Pinto, A.P.; Simões, I; Mota, A. M.The effect of cadmium (Cd) on root exudates of sorghum and maize was investigated in order to get further insight into the mechanisms of plant tolerance to Cd. Plants were grown hydroponically and supplemented with: 0, 0.5, and 5.0 mg Cd L−1. Hydroponic solutions containing exudates were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed different exudation patterns by sorghum and mai...
Effects of cadmium on growth, tissue accumulation and root exudates in sorghum ...
Simões, I; Pinto, A.; Mota, AThe effects of Cd on growth, tissue accumulation and root exudates in sorghum and maize, grown in nutrient solution with Cadmium (Cd), were investigated in order to get a further insight into the mechanisms of plant tolerance to Cd and the risks associated with terrestrial food-chain contamination.
