OSIRIS-GR: General relativistic activation of the polar cap of a compact neutro...

We present ab initio global general-relativistic Particle-in-cell (GR-PIC) simulations of compact millisecond neutron star magnetospheres in the axisymmetric aligned rotator configuration. We investigate the role of GR and plasma supply on the polar cap particle acceleration efficiency – the precursor of coherent radio emission – employing a new module for the PIC code OSIRIS, designed to model plasma dynamics ...

Sépsis Materna

Infections during pregnancy are prevalent. A small number of cases, however, may be life-threatening. Sepsis may be associated with multiple organ dysfunction and high mortality and it is one of the most common causes of direct maternal death often associated with the inability to recognize the severity of the illness. Long-term morbidity associated with maternal sepsis is significant and includes chronic pelvi...

Rotura Uterina em Mulheres com Cesariana Anterior em Prova de Trabalho de Parto

Uterine rupture during a trial of labor after previous cesarean (TOLAC) delivery is a rare, but serious complication. Several factors can increase the risk of uterine rupture, so the assessment of individual risks with adequate counseling is ne - cessary. The initial signs and symptoms are usually nonspecific, hampering timely diagnosis and prompt delivery of the fetus, necessary for optimal outcome. The purpos...

Inferior Vena Cava Filter Placement During Pregnancy: an Adjuvant Option When M...

The authors present a case of a 27-year-old multiparous woman, with multiple thrombophilia, whose pregnancy was complicated with deep venous thrombosis requiring placement of a vena cava filter. At 15th week of gestation, following an acute deep venous thrombosis of the right inferior limb, anticoagulant therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) was instituted without improvement in her clinical status. ...

In Situ Breakage of Implanon® - Two Cases of a Rare Occurrence

BACKGROUND: In situ breakage of Implanon® is a rare occurrence with unknown clinical significance. Authors report two different cases of broken Implanon® of women attended at our Family Planning Clinic. DISCUSSION: In situ implants may spontaneously and asymptomatically break, although some uncertainty relies on whether that situation has a real impact on the contraceptive effectiveness or on bleeding patterns....

Oncocitoma Renal na Gravidez. Uma Forma Invulgar de Hipertensão Secundária

Introdução: O oncocitoma renal representa 5-7% das neoplasias primárias do rim, é diagnosticado em doentes assintomáticos e caracteriza-se por um comportamento benigno, sem invasão dos tecidos adjacentes ou metastização. O seu diagnóstico no decurso da gravidez é raro, havendo poucos casos descritos na literatura. Caso clínico: Os autores apresentam o caso de uma nulípara de 32 anos com hipertensão arterial de ...
