Stratification of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients Based on Soluble ...
Napoleão, P; Cabral, L; Selas, M; Freixo, C; Monteiro, MC; Criado, MB; Costa, M; Enguita, F; Viegas-Crespo, AM; Saldanha, C; Mota Carmo, MInvolvement of soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) in thrombosis and inflammation on the context of coronary artery disease is currently being revised. In that perspective, we had studied the association of sCD40L with markers of platelet activation and markers of endothelial and vascular function. On that cohort, a stratification of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) 1 month after percutaneous coronary i...
Changes of Soluble CD40 Ligand in the Progression of Acute Myocardial Infarctio...
Napoleão, P; Monteiro, MC; Cabral, L; Criado, MB; Ramos, C; Selas, M; Viegas-Crespo, AM; Saldanha, C; Mota Carmo, M; Cruz Ferreira, R; Pinheiro, TReported in vitro data implicated soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) in endothelial dysfunction and angiogenesis. However, whether sCD40L could exert that influence in endothelial dysfunction and angiogenesis after injury in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients remains unclear. In the present study, we evaluated the association of sCD40L with markers of platelet activation, endothelial, and vascular function du...
Necrólise Epidérmica Tóxica (Síndrome de Lyell): uma patologia para as Unidades...
Cabral, L; Diogo, C; Riobom, F; Teles, L; Cruzeiro, CToxic Epidermal Necrolysis (Lyell's syndrome) is a rare but very serious dermatological lesion, characterized by the sudden onset of high fever, signs of systemic toxicity and intense mucocutaneous exfoliation. Its pathophysiology is not yet well determined, although it is almost consensual the presence of an immunological basis. It appears usually as an answer to the taking of a given drug, and, in spite of be...
Avulsion of the skin of the penis and scrotum.
Cabral, L; Teles, L; Ferreira, L C; Cruzeiro, CThe authors present a case report of traumatic avulsion of the skin of the penis and scrotum. Surgical treatment was performed in one surgical stage a few hours after the accident. The skin repair of the penis was carried out with a skin graft, while scrotum reconstruction was performed with fasciocutaneous flaps of the inner face of the thighs, with supero-medial pedicle, achieving a good result. The authors j...
Contributions to the history of burn treatment.
Cruzeiro, C; Cabral, L; Teles, LThe authors make a brief review of burn treatment in Portugal as well as describing the Burn Unit of the Coimbra University Hospitals. The scientific advances in this area and new perspectives to the future are also mentioned, emphasizing the importance of burn prevention and a complete social reintegration of the burn patient.; The authors make a brief review of burn treatment in Portugal as well as describing...
