Abstract Background and objective Profiles of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often do not describe treatable traits, lack validation and/or their stability over time is unknown. We aimed to identify COPD profiles traits based on simple meaningful measures; develop validate a decision tree explore profile time. Methods An observational, prospective study was conducted. Clinical characteristics, lung function, symptoms, impact the (COPD Assessment Test—CAT),...
The aim of this study was to develop and validate the professional translation cultural adaptation Portuguese Severe Respiratory Insufficiency (SRI) Questionnaire. sample composed 93 patients (50 male patients, 53.8%) with a mean age 66.3 years. most frequent diagnostic groups were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obesity hypoventilation syndrome restrictive chest wall disorders. asked fill in both SRI SF-36 questionnaires. Factor analysis questionnaire performed leading an explained...
Purpose: Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) use in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is becoming increasingly widespread. The aim of this study was to provide an accurate description the current practices and clinical characteristics COPD patients on HMV Portugal. Methods: designed as a cross-sectional, multicenter real-life established for at least 30 days. Data related characteristics, adaptation ventilatory settings were collected. Results: included 569 from 15 centers. majority...
Short, valid and easy to use tools are needed monitor non-invasive ventilation in clinical practice for organization of home mechanical services. The aim this study was develop a professional translation cultural adaptation the Portuguese S3 questionnaire. 234 stable patients (128 male patients, 53.8%) with mean age 69.3 years under long-term were recruited from single-center outpatient clinic. most frequent diagnostic groups obesity hypoventilation syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary...
Functional capacity impairment is a crucial consequence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although it can be identified with simple tests, such as the sit-to-stand its prevalence, relation severity, and characteristics people presenting this remain unknown.
Hemoptises são um problema clínico comum e grave. Nalguns casos, como nas hemoptises maciças, podem causar mortalidade elevada. Para o seu controlo e/ou tratamento têm sido aplicadas diferentes estratégias a cirurgia, embolização das artérias brônquicas tratamentos broncoscópicos. Os autores descrevem dois casos clínicos de pacientes com graves, cujo foi efectuado por broncoscopia aplicação tamponamento hemostático celulose oxidada regenerada (Surgicell®, Johnson and Johnson’s, London)....
A tomografia emissora de positrões (PET) é uma tecnologia recente no âmbito da medicina nuclear. Utiliza radionuclídeos biológicos como o 18 F-fluoro-2-deo-xy-D-glicose (FDG) permitindo detectar locais onde metabolismo está aumentado, caso células neoplásicas. Tem vindo a tornar-se um inovador e importante meio imagiológico cancro do pulmão. Recomendações actuais incluem diagnóstico pulmão, bem estadiamento loco-regional à distancia CPNPC.

Comprehensive understanding of COPD phenotypes, incorporating simple, widely used and meaningful outcomes (e.g., functional status), might contribute to personalise patients' assessment management. We described phenotypes developed a classification tree for its prediction. A cross-sectional study was conducted with patients COPD. Data collection included airway obstruction (FEV1pp); comorbidities (Charlson comorbidity index); status (one-minute sit-to-stand test [1-minSTS]) impact the...
Early studies with tirosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), namely Erlotinib and Gefitinib, in patients non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), showed that although most did not respond radiologically, a percentage of those (about 10%) had an excellent response to treatment, radiological regression clinical duration. Four patient populations are known as having better TKI opposed other patients: adenocarcinoma patients, non-smokers, women asians. Nevertheless, good general status remains predictive...
Prenatal diagnosis of homozygous alpha thalassaemia was performed in eight successive patients at risk using DNA from uncultured amniotic fluid cells. The presence gene determined by restriction endonuclease mapping and hybridisation with cloned beta globin probes. This method is reliable may be 16 weeks gestation.
