The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence and distribution hypertension determine status awareness, treatment control in Portuguese adult population.This conducted 2003, a multistage cluster sampling method used select national representative sample. A total 5023 adults, age 18-90 years, were examined. Three blood pressure measurements obtained by trained observers using an OMROM M4-I sphygmomanometer after 5-min sitting rest. Information on history use antihypertensive...
Abstract Background and purpose Despite the increasing number of reports on spectrum neurological manifestations COVID‐19 (neuro‐COVID), few studies have assessed short‐ long‐term outcome disease. Methods This is a cohort study enrolling adult patients with neuro‐COVID seen in consultation. Data were collected prospectively or retrospectively European Academy Neurology NEuro‐covid ReGistrY ((ENERGY). The at discharge was measured using modified Rankin Scale defined as ‘stable/improved’ if...
Background/Objectives: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is recommended for long-term enteral nutrition in dysphagic patients. This study aims to characterize conditions motivating PEG, assess nutritional status on the day, evaluate survival and search predictors. Methods: Retrospective of adult patients who underwent PEG a tertiary hospital from 2001 2023. Data collected included demographics, underlying disorders, (anthropometry/laboratory evaluation) day recorded until death or...
Introduction Early-onset (EOMG) and late-onset (LOMG) are distinct groups of MG patients. It is unclear if treatment strategies treatment-related adverse events may differ according to the age onset. Methods This single-center retrospective study includes all patients followed at a tertiary center since 2007. We reviewed electronic clinical records. Results In total, 212 were identified, 142 (67.0%) females, with median disease duration 10 years. The symptom onset was 42.0 (26.0–64.5) years,...
A doença cardiovascular (CV) continua a ser primeira causa de morte em Portugal. Com uma prevalência significativa, hipertensão arterial (HTA) é o segundo fator risco concorrer para total anos vida saudável perdidos (DALY). Raramente isolada, está, habitualmente, associada outros elementos determinantes risco, que contribuem um maior CV global. O Precise, estudo epidemiológico e transversal, teve como objetivo principal avaliação da doentes hipertensos fatores concomitantes modeladores do...
Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading cause of death in Portugal. The prevalence hypertension, second most important risk factor accounting for overall disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), significant. Hypertension rarely occurs isolation, but usually associated with other determining factors that contribute to greater CV risk. main objective PRECISE study, a cross-sectional epidemiological was determine concomitant modulating hypertensive patients. and target organ damage assessed...
Hyperthyroidism is rarely associated with malignancy, but it cannot rule out thyroid cancer. Although there published data describing this coexistence, carcinomas inside autonomously functioning nodules are uncommon.A 49-year-old woman presented a cervical mass, unexplained weight loss and anxiousness, sweating insomnia. On physical examination, she had palpable left nodule. Thyroid function tests showed suppressed TSH (<0,1 uUI/mL), thyroxine 1,44 ng/dL (normal range 0,70-1,48)...
COVID-19-related acute neurological phenotypes are being increasingly recognised, with complications reported in more than 30% of hospitalised patients. However, multicentric studies providing a population-based perspective lacking.We conducted retrospective study at five hospitals Northern Portugal, representing 45.1% all patients this region, between 1 March and 30 June 2020.Among 1261 COVID-19 patients, 457 (36.2%) presented manifestations, corresponding to rate 357 per 1000 the North...
Nondipper hypertensive patients have higher levels of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, a new studied inflammatory biomarker in primary hypertension. Furthermore, these risk cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess the relationship between ratio pattern (dipper vs nondipper) association major adverse events.A retrospective analysis was performed. One hundred fifty-three were included classified as dipper or nondipper according 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure...
Hypertension is an extremely prevalent disease worldwide and hypertension control rates remain low. Lack of adherence contributes to poor cardiovascular events. No questionnaire in Portuguese readily available for the assessment antihypertensive drugs. We aimed perform a translation cultural adaptation Hill-Bone Compliance High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale, validated instrument measure hypertensive patients. A formal process was employed, consisting forward by two independent translators...
Background/Objectives: Home parenteral support (HPS) is the core of chronic intestinal failure (IF) treatment. For legal reasons, HPS in Portugal lags behind other European countries, and only a few patients were taken care at home by nurses. Now, legislation has changed, allowing patient self-care. The authors report their pioneer experience as largest Portuguese IF center, evaluating underlying conditions leading to IF, nutritional impact, HPS-related complications survival. Methods: This...
Beta blockers are commonly used to treat hypertension. This Cochrane systematic review assessed the effect of beta-1 selective beta on blood pressure (BP), pulse (PP), heart rate (HR) and withdrawal due adverse effects in patients with primary Fifty-six randomized placebo-controlled trials were included, a total 7812 patients. These drugs reduced systolic/diastolic BP by 10/8 mmHg, PP 2 mmHg HR 11 bpm; no difference was found between treatment placebo regarding effects. Differences efficacy...
Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep. Its association with hypertension (HTN) and increased cardiovascular risk well established but it underdiagnosed. We aimed to describe the patients submitted studies identify OSA determinants. Design method: Retrospective study based on clinical records from a HTN clinic tertiary care hospital. Demographic, biometric data was gathered; in studies, presence OSA, its...

Objective: High salt intake is associated with hypertension and poor blood pressure control. Although recent efforts managed to reduce in Portugal it's still considered a public health problem. We aimed describe the of group hypertensive patients their main clinical features. Design method: Retrospective study based on records from evaluated Hypertension clinic tertiary care hospital during year. Demographic, biometric data were gathered. Every patient stable anti-hypertensive therapy...

Vasculitides are a group of rare, systemic diseases that induce inflammatory reactions in blood vessels, causing reduction flow and ischemia. In the kidney, luminal narrowing reduces activates renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, renovascular hypertension.Clinical case report.A 47-year-old male with previous intestinal tuberculosis hypertension diagnosed two years prior (blood pressure around 220/110 mmHg) was referred to our Hypertension Clinic. He reported self-limited episodes lumbar...
O liposarcoma (LPS) é um tumor mesenquimatoso maligno do tecido adiposo. A sua localização no mesentério rara. Homem, 64 anos, enviado à consulta após colonoscopia de rastreio ter revelado lipoma da parede sigmoide.
