Background: Patent Blue V (PBV) is extensively used in sentinel lymph node identification cancer surgery, potentially leading to an increased incidence of hypersensitivity reactions. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with suspected PBV hypersensitivity, at our center from 2010 2023. Skin prick tests (SPT) were performed all patients, followed by intradermal (IDT) if SPT negative. Results: Of 160 perioperative reactions (POH), 15 (9.4%) had received PBV. All female,...

Bananas contain different allergens, and reactions vary in severity. Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) present high stability during digestion heat treatment. Data regarding reaction severity acquisition of tolerance are lacking. A two-year-old child presented with anaphylaxis after eating a banana. He was treated corticosteroids antihistamines on the way to emergency department (ED) by his mother. Adrenaline not administered as he had already improved upon arriving at ED. The tolerated all...

Abstract. Action cameras can operate in outdoor conditions, such as outside a car, and provide good quality imagery that be exploited to collect geospatial data by photogrammetric means. Recent models include GPS, which deliver position time of individual images video frames. That is the case very popular camera, Gopro Hero 5. This paper describes implementation mobile mapping system, based on GoPro 5 camera mounted side rearview mirror car. Although system dependent GPS positions only, it...

Introdução: A situação epidemiológica associada à infeção por SARS-CoV-2 modificou, desde o início, a prestação de cuidados saúde em Portugal. Nesse sentido, visamos caracterizar os internamentos asma num hospital terciário contexto pandemia Covid-19. Métodos: Análise retrospetiva dos processos clínicos doentes internados universitário, durante 12 meses (março 2020 fevereiro 2021), comparativamente ao período homólogo pré-pandemia 2019 2020). Foram utilizados códigos ICD10 associados “asma”...

Abstract. Topographic maps are produced in Portugal by the Army Geospatial Data Centre, based on a geographical database collected from aerial photography resolutions 0.30 to 0.50 m. Each map sheet is revised with an update interval of 10 years or more. Many changes, such as new roads power lines, would be possible much higher frequency using UAV imagery. Although nominal scale published paper sheets 1 : 25,000, actual positional accuracy requirement meter, which compatible larger scales....

A 74-year-old man with disseminated tuberculosis was evaluated in the emergency department for severe generalized exfoliative dermatitis 5 days of evolution. He had important fluid loss particularly affecting feet, extensive desquamation. No vesicles or pustules were observed and Nikolsky sign negative (Figure 1, A-C). The patient noted intense pruritus but denied skin pain fever. There no mucosal involvement. Complete blood count revealed eosinophilia nor neutrophilia.

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite responsible for toxoplasmosis, a zoonosis with worldwide distribution. Congenital toxoplasmosis occurs when pregnant woman becomes infected during the gestation or there reactivation in immunocompromised of previous latent infection. Clinical manifestations congenital infection can vary severity, ranging from asymptomatic to abortion and still-birth. We are not aware any published cases neither confirmed nor its complications Portugal. The...

Abstract. This paper presents a study of the application action cameras, such as GoPro, for extraction 3D models in forest environment. These cameras are very small and can be used by any operator, even other forestry works, to collect imagery photogrammetric post processing. The method implemented uses Structure from Motion approach order obtain model. model becomes georeferenced means camera positions which recorded navigation GPS receiver. aim is assess geometric accuracy methodology,...
