Neonatal Resuscitation Practices in Portuguese Delivery Rooms: A Cross-Sectiona...
Alves, Natacha; Rocha, Gustavo; Flor-de-Lima, Filipa; Rosário, Marta; Pissarra, Susana; Mateus, Mário; Azevedo, Inês; Soares, HenriqueIntroduction: Data from previous studies have demonstrated inconsistency between current evidence and delivery room resuscitation practices in developed countries. The primary aim of this study was to assess the quality of newborn healthcare and resuscitation practices in Portuguese delivery rooms, comparing current practices with the 2021 European Resuscitation Council guidelines. The secondary aim was to comp...
Limits of Viability: Perspectives of Portuguese Neonatologists and Obstetricians
Pais-Cunha, Inês; Peixoto, Sara; Soares, Henrique; Costa, SandraIntroduction: Advances in neonatal care have improved the prognosis in extremely preterm infants. The gestational age considered for active treatment has decreased globally. Despite implemented guidelines, several studies show variability in practice. The aim of this study was to understand theperspectives of Portuguese neonatologists and obstetricians regarding the management of extremely preterm infants.Metho...
Evaluation of bioactive coatings in post-harvest physical and mechanical proper...
Domingues, Joana Lopes; Soares, Henrique; Delgado, F.M.G.In the Beira Interior region, cherry production is one of the most representative crops, revealing a high economic value for the region. The cherry, being a seasonal fruit, has great temporal demand, not only due to its nutritional properties but also highly appreciated for its flavor and texture. However, it is a very perishable fruit, and immediately after harvesting, it must be kept at low temperatures and h...
Large congenital pulmonary airway malformation with mucinous cell clusters – a ...
Magalhães, Tiago; Costa, Rita; Rocha, Gustavo; Salgueiro, Elson; Soares, HenriqueWe report the clinical case of a 38 weeks gestational age neonate, antenatally diagnosed with a left large macrocystic pulmonary malformation conditioning dextrocardia. At birth, he presented with respiratory distress requiring non-invasive ventilation with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC). A left inferior lobectomy was performed via thoracotomy on day 21 of life. Histological features of the lesion were compatib...
The Importance of Autopsy in Early Neonatal Death in Portugal
Miranda, Marlene; Costa, Sandra; Soares, Henrique; Barbosa, Joselina; Flor-de-Lima, Filipa; Rodrigues, Manuela; Guimarães, HercíliaIntroduction: The early neonatal period is the most critical for the newborn’s life. The autopsy is important to understand the cause of death, and find other diagnoses not clinically identified. However, the rate of neonatal autopsy is declining worldwide. This study aims to characterize early neonatal death and the clinical importance of the autopsy, evaluating the concordance between clinical and pathologica...
Damage evaluation under complex fatigue loading conditions
Reis, Luis; Caxias, J.; Soares, Henrique; Rodrigues da Costa, Pedro; Anes, Vitor; Freitas, M.Fatigue damage and life assessment of multiaxial loadings is still an issue yet to resolve. Many methods have been proposed with promising agreements with the experimental results. However, the performance of such methods is, more than often, purely based on fatigue tests with simple loading conditions. In this work the stress scale factor (SSF) criterion and the virtual cycle counting (vcc) method are used to ...
Fatigue life of a railway wheel under uniaxial and multiaxial loadings
Soares, Henrique; Anes, Vitor; de Freitas, M.; Reis, LuisIn this paper, a railway wheel material is under evaluation using multiaxial fatigue testing. The experiments were conducted using a servo-hydraulic machine with standardized specimens. All samples were machined from a single worn-out railway wheel. The damage scale between normal and shear stresses was evaluated in the normal stress space for proportional and non-promotional loadings. Moreover, the uniaxial SN...
Úlceras de Lipschütz - Do Dogma à Realidade
Vieira-Baptista, Pedro; Lima-Silva, Joana; Soares, HenriqueLemos com o maior interesse o artigo intitulado “Úlcerade Lipschütz na Adolescência: Um Desafio Diagnóstico”. Antes de mais, congratulamos os autores pela abordagem de um tema tão pouco conhecido entre a pediatria, a ginecologia e a dermatologia, bem como pela magnífica descrição do caso e metodologia diagnóstica aplicada.
Off-Label and Unlicensed Drug Use in Neonatology: Reality in a Portuguese Unive...
Silva, Joana; Flor-de-Lima, Filipa; Soares, Henrique; Guimarães, HercíliaIntroduction: This study aims to characterize the drugs used in a Portuguese Neonatal Intensive Unit Care, assess the rate of off-label or unlicensed drugs use according to the information available in the Summary of Product Characteristics and compare results between preterm and full-term neonates.Material and Methods: A 6-month period retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in our Neonatal Intensive...
New vaccines.
Ferreira, Marta; Leal, Ema; Galhardo, Júlia; Mendes, Cristina; Soares, Henrique; Brito, Maria JoãoVaccines prevent more cases of diseases than any other medical treatment. However, information on new vaccines introduced in the market and not included in the National Vaccination Program (NVP) is often sparse, and their knowledge limited.Evaluate general and specific knowledge of healthy children's parents on three vaccines not included in the NVP: pneumococcal (PCV7), varicella (Var) and rotavirus (RV).Trans...
