Abstract Background Leishmania infantum is endemic in the Mediterranean region, presenting mostly as visceral leishmaniasis (VL). In Portugal, reporting of VL cases to public health authorities mandatory, but significant underreporting likely. This study aimed describe epidemiological and clinical aspects diagnosed hospitals Portuguese National Health Service (NHS), between 2010 2020. Methods Collaboration was requested every hospital NHS Mainland Portugal. Cases were screened through a...
This narrative review explores the application of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in palliative care and its feasibility home settings. POCUS has potential to streamline diagnostic strategies without patient transfer hospital, expedite timely symptomatic relief, reduce complications from specific interventions. The advent handheld devices made it an attractive interventional adjunct acute care. gained widespread acceptance as part routine emergency medicine intensive care, guiding certain...
Leishmania infantum, a zoonotic vector-born parasite, is endemic in the Mediterranean region, presenting mostly as visceral (VL), but also cutaneous (CL) and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML). This study aimed to describe epidemiological clinical aspects of CL ML cases diagnosed mainland Portugal between 2010 2020. Collaboration was requested from every hospital Portuguese National Health System. Cases were screened through search diagnostic discharge codes or positive laboratory results for...
Transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC) is an uncommon condition characterized by wall, leading to unilateral neck pain. While TIPIC has been acknowledged International Classification Headache Disorders, only a few patient series have published thus far. The clinical presentation syndrome typically manifests as pain localized specifically over artery. This accompanied ipsilateral tenderness and increased arterial pulsation. commonly follows self-limited course or...

While rich in vitamins and minerals, it may also contain toxic secondary metabolites. The authors present case of 49-year-old female patient, admitted to the emergency department four-hour history psychomotor agitation, confusion, mydriasis. Symptom onset occurred three hours after consuming buckwheat. Clinical examination revealed...
Introduction: Pubertal maturation is marked by significant changes in stress-induced hormonal responses mediated the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, with prepubertal male and female rats often exhibiting greater HPA reactivity compared to adult males females. Though implications of these are unclear, elevated stress responsiveness might contribute stress-related vulnerabilities associated puberty. Methods: The current experiments sought determine whether differences cellular...
Abstract Background and Aims Urinary diversion after cystectomy using autologous intestinal segments has been the gold standard treatment of benign malignant diseases urinary tract. The most frequent metabolic abnormalities is hyperchloremic acidosis, due to ammonium absorption alongside chloride gain bicarbonate excretion in bowel conduit. Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class antihyperglycemic agents that recently revolutionized paradigm chronic kidney disease. It...
Abiotrophia defectiva is a rare agent of endocarditis and subacute presentation may delay the diagnosis. We present case 41-year-old male who was admitted to hospital for further investigation regarding consumptive syndrome with microcytic anaemia. Past medical history included new-onset mitral insufficiency followed by an ischaemic stroke due small vessel disease. Thoraco-abdominal computed tomography revealed splenic infarction. In presence two events associated valve disease unknown...
