Several brain areas modulate pain transmission through direct projections to the spinal cord. The descending modulation is exerted by neurotransmitters acting both at spinally projecting neurons and interneurons that target projection neurons. We analyzed expression of mu-opioid (MOR), gamma-aminobutyric acid GABA(B), NK1 receptors in major medullary control rat: rostroventromedial medulla (RVM), dorsal reticular nucleus (DRt), solitary tract, ventral nucleus, lateralmost part caudal...
Background and Objectives: Maternal severe morbidity mortality are measures for assessing maternal healthcare, admissions to the intensive care unit (ICU) can be used study these metrics. Here, we analyze ICU of pregnant or postpartum women in a tertiary hospital. Materials Methods: This is retrospective, single-center, observational cohort obstetric at Portuguese hospital spanning 15 years. We analyzed maternal, admission-related, neonatal variables from admitted during pregnancy up 42 days...
Rectal squamous cell carcinoma (rSCC) is a rare cancer (0.5% of all rectal cancers). It typically presents at an advanced stage and has poor prognosis. Recently, chemoradiotherapy with organ preservation become option for complete response (CR). Surveillance essential to prompt recognition recurrence due its high risk. We present case elderly woman rSCC cT4N1aM0 who underwent combination chemotherapy (mitomycin fluoropyrimidine) radiotherapy CR preservation. The patient been in follow-up 2...
Abstract Introduction Traditional classification of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) based on temporal patterns doesn't fully encompass the condition's complexity. Unsupervised cluster analyses have been used for classifying patients into groups with similar comorbid profiles. However, inconsistent comorbidity found across different cohorts. Bayesian profile regression, a semi-supervised machine learning technique, may improve precision clustering by integrating outcome data, diminishing variability...
Este estudo se caracteriza como epidemiológico descritivo, retrospectivo e analítico, em que as informações foram obtidas no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único Saúde.

O maior número prevaleceu nas pessoas etnia parda o sexo masculino foi predominou. Através dos dados supracitados, é possível afirmar a imensa maioria...
A middle-aged patient with a previous history of chronic sinusitis and arterial hypertension was admitted because altered mental status. Two days earlier, symptoms such as fever, chills, nasal obstruction headache slowly developed. On examination, the febrile stiff neck. The remainder physical examination normal. CT scan (figure 1A,B) T1-MRI 2A–C) were both performed; besides signs sinusitis, 2 cm right periatrial expansive lesion surrounded by vasogenic oedema found being compatible brain...
Os autores descrevem um caso de uma doente admitida após episódio pré‐sincopal associado a precordialgia e cujo ecocardiograma sumário feito no Serviço Urgência demonstrou alterações compatíveis com tromboembolismo pulmonar, tendo sido submetida terapêutica fibrinolítica, paragem cardiorrespiratória. Na angiotomografia tórax feita posteriormente para confirmação diagnóstica demonstra‐se presença não só trombos nível da artéria mas também disseção aorta Stanford B, tendo‐se optado pela...
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the conjunctiva is a rare malignancy that part spectrum ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN). Numerous non-modifiable and modifiable risk factors, such as male sex, age, cigarette smoking, immunosuppression, have been identified. Any lesion requires differential diagnosis between benign malignant diseases, all suspicious lesions should be biopsied. We present case SCC in former smoker with multiple including previous lower lip. Metastatic tumors rarely...
Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is an acute and reversible clinical characterized by transient hypokinesis of the left ventricular (LV) apex. Variant forms LV dysfunction have been reported, including inverted (ITS), which represents only 5% cases has previously linked to excessive use inhaled adrenergic beta-2 agonists. The authors describe case a 60-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with ITS after This highlights uncommon variant this that may not be obvious must suspected in particular context.
The authors describe a case of patient admitted with pre-syncopal episode and precordial discomfort, whose cardiac ultrasound performed in the Emergency Room was suggestive Pulmonary Embolism. submitted to fibrinolytic therapy after arrest. computerized tomography done this not only confirmed presence pulmonary embolism but had also shown Stanford Type B Aortic Dissection. option maintain therapeutic anticoagulation, having evolved favourably.
