Definite diagnosis staging require biopsy, which not feasible given the high NAFLD. As such, several noninvasive tools have been formulated. However, date, none validated Portuguese population. aim this study was determine diagnostic accuracy aspartate...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a rising global health issue. The influence of muscle in its pathophysiology has recently gained attention.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have a significant impact on patient's quality of life and expectancy, with mortality rates comparable malignant diseases. However, there is lack data regarding palliative care needs in this population. We aimed to characterize people under diabetic surveillance using the Integrated Palliative Outcome Scale (IPOS) EuroQol-5D three-level version (EQ-5D-3L) assess differences between those without DFU.We conducted cross-sectional study consecutive sampling inclusion...
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous entity, where different molecular subtypes (MS) exhibit distinct prognostic and therapeutic responses. A series of 62 breast samples stratified by MS was obtained from the tumor biobank IPO-Porto. The expression glycolysis gluconeogenesis-regulating enzymes investigated immunohistochemistry. Data analysis included stratification according to MS, body mass index (BMI), BMI with (mBMI). We observed significant differences in pyruvate carboxylase (PC),...
Introduction: Outpatient antimicrobial therapy programs have been in place for more than four decades. They provide safe and effective treatment a selected group of patients while reducing costs. In Europe general, Portugal particular, these are still relatively new phenomenon. The aim this study is to describe our center’s two years’ experience with such program (Antibiotic Clinic).Material Methods: cohort treatments administered by the Antibiotic Clinic its first years existence (September...

He developed cardiac tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis complicated left ventricle perforation which was successfully repaired. presented mild eosinophilia. Bronchoalveolar lavage...
