To evaluate the diagnostic performance of imaging features gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) to differentiate among hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) subtypes by using histopathologic results new immunophenotype and genotype classification correlate enhancement pattern on hepatobiliary phase (HBP) with degrees expression organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP1B1/3), multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP) (MRP2), MRP 3 (MRP3) transporters.This retrospective study was...
Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis with characteristic radiological and histological features. This entity defined by mononuclear infiltrate consisting of lipid-laden, foamy histiocytes that stain positively for CD68 negatively CD1a. Osseous involvement constant characteristic. Extra-osseous lesions may affect the retroperitoneum, lungs, skin, heart, brain orbits.Both radiography technetium-99m bone scintigraphy reveal osteosclerosis long bones, which...
Since ancient times, plants have been used in folk medicine to treat different diseases. Plants offer exceptional chemical diversity with a wide range of biological activities, and therefore the most promising sources for discovery development drugs, including antimicrobial agents. This study reports antibacterial effect geraniol (GER), alone combination biogenic silver nanoparticles (bioAgNPs), produced using aqueous extract Trichilia catigua bark, against planktonic sessile cells...
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a genetic autosomal codominant disorder caused by mutations in SERPINA1 gene. It one of the most prevalent disorders, although it remains underdiagnosed. Whereas at international level there are several areas consensus on this disorder, Portugal, inter-hospital heterogeneity clinical practice and resources available have been adding difficulties reaching diagnosis making therapeutic decisions group patients. This raised need to draft document...
Hospitalizations due to community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in mainland Portugal from 2000 2009 accounted for 3.7% of all hospital admissions population with 18 or more years age. There is no direct-cost data regarding these admissions. In this observational descriptive study adult hospitalizations associated CAP diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed the period between and 2009. Patients under old, those as secondary diagnosis, patients tuberculous obstructive pneumonia, immunocompromised...
A female patient in her 60s was diagnosed 5 years ago with a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the cervix stage Ib3 and treated radical chemoradiotherapy ([figure 1][1] [figure 2][2]). She received six cycles weekly cisplatin given both external beam
