Objectives Anxiety and depression are relevant comorbidities in asthma, but, Portugal Spain, data on this topic scarce. We assessed, patients with the frequency of anxiety using Hospital Depression Scale (HADS) European Quality Life Five Dimension Questionnaire (EQ-5D); level agreement between these questionnaires, factors associated symptoms. Methods This is a secondary analysis INSPIRERS studies. A total 614 adolescents adults persistent asthma (32.6±16.9 years, 64.7% female) were...
Background Health and fitness apps have potential benefits to improve self-management disease control among patients with asthma. However, inconsistent use rates been reported across studies, regions, health systems. A better understanding of the characteristics users nonusers is critical design solutions that are effectively integrated in patients’ daily lives, ensure these equitably reach out different groups patients, thus improving rather than entrenching inequities. Objective This study...

Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of using an asthma app to support medication management and adherence but failed compare with other measures currently used in clinical practice. However, a setting, any additional measurement must be evaluated context both patient physician perspectives so that it can also help improve process shared decision making. Thus, we aimed different control inhalers practice, namely through app, self-report assessment.
We aimed to identify persistent asthma phenotypes among adolescents and evaluate longitudinally asthma-related outcomes across phenotypes. Adolescents (13-17 years) from the prospective, observational, multicenter INSPIRERS studies, conducted in Portugal Spain, were included (n = 162). Latent class analysis was applied demographic, environmental, clinical variables, collected at a baseline medical visit. Longitudinal differences variables assessed 4-month follow-up telephone contact 128)....
Background: Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma and objective assessment of inhaler needed. InspirerMundi app aims to monitor while turning it into positive experience through gamification social support. Objective: We assessed the medium-term feasibility real-world patients with persistent (treated daily inhaled medication). In addition, we attempted identify characteristics related higher use. Methods: Two multicenter observational studies, one initial face-to-face...
Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAID) are monogenic and polygenic inherited conditions characterized by dysregulation of the innate immune system.We aimed to characterize clinical features patients with SAID.This study was a retrospective chart review on genetic pediatric population SAID observed from 1998 2020 in our center.A total 54 were evaluated: 18 periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis adenitis syndrome; 16 Behçet disease; 13 systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis; 4...
A 33-year-old male with house dust mite allergic rhinitis and asthma reported an episode of facial lip angioedema, dyspnea, cough dysphagia at the age 25, minutes after eating a mushroom ( Agaricus bisporus ) pizza. He denied any drug intake, hymenoptera stings or other possible triggers, no identifiable cofactors were present. Since then he avoided all types mushrooms, however accidental contact occurred sauce that resulted in angioedema within [...]
Objectives. To describe the prevalence of allergic sensitization to Storage Dust Mites (SDM), access whether place living and occupational exposure were determinants for SDM study association between Lepidoglyphus destructor other sensitization. Methods. Prospective analysis patients evaluated suspected rhinitis and/or asthma that performed Skin Prick Tests (SPT) January December 2018 in our Department. Results. Two hundred consecutive outpatient consultation: 123 (61.5%) presented...
A 74-year-old male with an abdominal aortic aneurism reported 2 episodes of neck swelling 16 hours after CT iodinated contrast media that reappeared in a subsequent CT, although the use pre-medication. The tests used to exclude hypersensitivity hypothesis where negative and once new needed we decided do it close monitoring. We performed facial picture cervical ultrasound exam before 24 exam. findings made diagnosis induced sialoadenitis possible. Contrast sialadentis is uncommon adverse...
Allergy to bovine serum albumin is the main predictor of beef allergy associated with cow’s milk proteins allergy. We report a case 3-year-old child since age 6 months who, after some ingestions beef, developed episodes irritability, urticaria and syncope. Specific IgE oral food challenge medium rare cooked specific were all positive, but an well was tolerated. not usually severe reactions, it thermolabile protein, however, process cooking meat may be insufficient have effect on complex...
Anaphylaxis is defined as an acute severe, life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction. The condition’s real prevalence and incidence are difficult to estimate, but seem be increasing, particularly in children. clinical presentation varies according age other individual factors. Although consensual criteria exist, including pediatric age, diagnosis can challenging. Food allergy the most common anaphylaxis cause children, preschool age. Drug-induced reactions hymenoptera venom sting major...

Pode ser classificada em alérgica (IgE-mediada não IgE-mediada) alérgica. habitualmente expressão clínica inaugural sensibilização das vias aéreas alergénio presente no laboral e pode preceder o aparecimento asma ocupacional. Embora diagnóstico seja...
We aimed to identify persistent asthma phenotypes among adolescents and evaluate, longitudinally, their asthma-related outcomes. A secondary analysis was performed on the prospective, observational multicenter INSPIRERS studies, 162 (13–17 years; 51% male) were analysed. Latent class applied 10 variables easily collected in baseline medical visits, both at primary care, comprehending demographic, environmental, clinical domains. Longitudinal changes assessed a 4-month telephone visit...
O eritema pigmentado fixo (EPF) é uma reação de hipersensibilidade a fármacos, representando cerca 22% das reações cutâneas descritas. Encontra-se frequentemente associado em particular os anti-inflamatórios não esteróides (AINE). Caracteriza-se pelo aparecimento lesões maculares violáceas ou bolhosas, que surgem entre dois dias semana após exposição inicial ao fármaco, resolvem com hiperpigmentação residual e reaparecem caso reexposição. As resultam manifestação tipo IV, caracterizada pela...
Background: The hepatitis C (HCV) treatment of those who continued to inject drugs may have public health benefits, besides the individual ones. However, concerns regarding adherence is challenging in this population. Purpose: analyse impact active drug use SVR patients with history injected (PWID). Methods & Materials: Prospective study HIV/HCV co-infected PWID treated AADs for HCV between June/2015 and June/2017. were integrated a targeted setting antiretroviral methadone under directly...
Pollen-food syndrome (PFS) is characterized by allergic symptoms elicited the ingestion of raw fruits or vegetables in patients with seasonal rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis. The estimated prevalence PFS pollen allergy 50–70%. Typically, PFS-induced are restricted to oral cavity (oral – OAS). authors present case a female adolescent grass rhinitis treated immunotherapy for four years and months, who developed OAS fresh walnuts. Diagnostic workup showed sensitization several allergens,...
