Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an increasingly frequent disease in which inflammation plays a crucial role. Fifty patients hospitalized with AP were included and peripheral blood samples analyzed for B T cell subpopulations at the time of hospitalization 48 h after diagnosis. The Bedside Index Severity Pancreatitis (BISAP) length hospital stay also recorded. A healthy control (HC) group 15 outpatients was included. showed higher neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratios percentages cells than HC group....
Sarcoidosis is a multi-organ granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Neurological involvement in sarcoidosis uncommon but cranial mononeuropathies, especially involving the VII and VIII nerves, are highly suggestive neurosarcoidosis. We report case 54-year-old woman who presented with fever, night sweats, weight loss, polyarthralgia, bilateral hearing loss. Mediastinal hilar lymphadenopathies hypercaptation on positive emission tomography (PET) scans were present. Low-dose steroids...
Despite elevated incidence and recurrence rates for Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax (PSP), little is known about its etiology, the genetics of idiopathic PSP remains unexplored. To identify genetic variants contributing to sporadic risk, we conducted first genome-wide association study. Two replicate pools 92 Portuguese cases 129 age- sex-matched controls were allelotyped in triplicate on Affymetrix Human SNP Array 6.0 arrays. Markers passing quality control ranked by relative allele score...
Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas with incompletely known pathogenic mechanisms. This study aimed to explore temporal changes in serum cytokines patients AP and assess association these severity. Methods: Fifty hospitalized were enrolled, their cytokine levels analyzed at four different time points. A healthy control (HC) group 30 outpatients was included. Results: showed increased interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, vascular endothelial growth...
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare entity characterized by fever associated with the sudden appearance of erythematous lesions, on which multiple sterile, non-follicular pustules develop. We describe case 44-year-old healthy male who developed and edematous lesions progressive generalization to entire body, small three days after having started flucloxacillin for treatment furuncle. Considering characteristics exanthema, fever, association aminopenicillin initiation,...
Introdução: A vídeocapilaroscopia periungueal é uma técnica não invasiva dirigida ao estudo da microcirculação. Este exame constitui-se como ferramenta adicional na avaliação do doente com alterações microcirculação, maioria dos casos por suspeita de doença autoimune.
 Métodos: Primeiros 101 doentes submetidos a no nosso hospital num período 18 meses, recurso um vídeocapilaroscópio digital.
 Resultados: Cento e doentes, 85% mulheres, idade média 50 anos. O principal motivo...
