- Quisto Porencefálico após Hemorragia Intracraniana: Evolução Imagiológica pré e pós-natalPublication . Cunha, A.; Mendes, M.; Ramos, C.; Nogueira, R.; Martins, M.; Veloso, P.; Mendes, R.RESUMO A infecção por Citomegalovírus (CMV) é a infecçâo congénita mais frequente. As manifestações clínicas são variáveis e multisistémicas. Do envolvimento do sistema nervoso central (SNC) podem resultar microcefalia, calcificações e, mais raramente, hidranencefalia e porencefalia por destruição do tecido cerebral. Estes achados são geralmente de diagnóstico tardio em Diagnóstico Pré Natal (DPN) com manifestações ecográficas muitas vezes inespecíficas. Os autores descrevem os aspectos imagiológicos ultrasonográficos no período fetal, neonatal, e tomográfico pósnatal num caso de hemorragia parenquimatosa cerebral com evolução para quisto porencefálico por provável infecção por citomegalovirus. Este caso mostra que achados ecográficos inespecíficos pré-natais numa paciente de alto risco têm um valor preditivo alto para infecção fetal por citomegalovirus e também podem ter significado prognóstico. ABSTRACT CMV is the most common congenital infection. Clinical manifestations can be multiple and affect different organs. Microcephaly, intracranial calcifications and less frequently hydranencephaly and porencephaly can be a consequence of cerebral involvement. These anomalies are generally diagnosed late in pregnancy after prenatal sonographic signs of little sensitivity. In this report, we describe the prenatal and neonatal images of cerebral hemorrhage and porencephaly, presumed secondary to intrauterine cytomegalovirus infection.This case shows that subtle ultrasound findings in a high risk pregnant woman may be predictive of sequelae in infected fetuses.
- Crescimento e actividade fetal às 20-24 semanas de gestação (estudo preliminar)Publication . Conde, A.; Figueiredo, B.; Tendais, I.; Pereira, A.; Nogueira, R.BACKGROUND: Recent researches show that psychological development begins much before birth and prenatal influences can explain a significant part of the future variability in infants' behaviour and development. AIMS: The aim of this study was to characterize the fetal development between 20 and 24 weeks of gestation, related to the measures of fetal growth-- iparietal diameter, abdominal circumference, head circumference, femur length and fetal weight-- and fetal activity--fetal heart rate and fetal movements. We also tried to establish if there are any differences in these measures related to the mothers' and fetus' sociodemographic features, obstetrical conditions and exposure to drugs. METHOD: The sample of this study involved 48 fetus (52.1% female and 47.9% male) with an estimated gestational age (GA) between 20-24 weeks (Mean = 21 weeks and 1 day), whose mothers had appointments at the Obstetric and Gynaecological medical consultation of Júlio Dinis Maternity Hospital (MJD, Oporto). A video tape of the fetal behaviour was made and ultrasound biometry measurements were collected from the morphological ultrasound report. RESULTS: A statistical analysis of fetal data, after gestational age control, showed differences in fetal growth measures related to mothers' occupational status [F(1,41) = 7.28; p = .000], marital status [F(1,41) = 2.61; p = .04], household arrangements [F(1,41) = 2.91; p = .03] and coffee consumption [F(1,40) = 2.55; p = .05]. Differences in fetal activity measures (fetal heart rate) associated to fetus gender [F(1,16) = 5.84; p = .009] were also found. CONCLUSIONS: We can conclude about the sensibility of fetal development to prenatal factors related to the mothers' and fetus' sociodemographic features and exposure to drugs.

- Gravidez e Doença de Wilson: Revisão de 3 Casos ClínicosPublication . Castro, M.; Sousa, R.; Marta, S.; Braga, J.A doença de Wilson é uma doença hereditária autossómica recessiva que afecta o gene ATP7B, localizado no cromossoma 13. Caracteriza-se por uma alteração do transporte transmembranar do cobre, acumulando-se este no fígado e noutros órgãos, principalmente cérebro, rins e córnea. A prevalência mundial é de aproximadamente 30 casos por milhão de habitantes. Cerca de 60 a 70% dos casos são diagnosticados entre os 8 e os 20 anos de idade. Clinicamente, apresenta-se como doença hepática, neurológica ou psiquiátrica. O seu diagnóstico é baseado num alto índice de suspeição e na combinação de achados clínicos e laboratoriais. O exame gold standard para o diagnóstico é a biópsia hepática com doseamento do cobre. O tratamento consiste na terapêutica farmacológica permanente ou no transplante hepático. Existem actualmente três fármacos disponíveis: a penicilamina e a trientina (agentes quelantes) e o zinco. O tetratiomolibdato é um agente quelante ainda em investigação. A capacidade reprodutiva das mulheres com doença de Wilson tem melhorado com o aumento da eficácia destas terapêuticas e, como tal, a gravidez torna-se mais frequente. Esta parece não afectar o curso da doença e o principal problema que se coloca é a escolha da terapêutica mais adequada durante a gestação, dado que a segurança destes fármacos na gravidez não está garantida. Os autores descrevem 3 casos de grávidas com doença de Wilson, vigiadas na sua instituição, e discutem a controvérsia em torno do uso destes fármacos no tratamento da doença durante a gravidez e amamentação.

- Successful pregnancy in a severely hypoxemic patient with pulmonary alveolar proteinosisPublication . Belchior, I.; Cerdeira, A.; Santos, M.; Braga, J.; Aragâo, I.; Martins, A.Abstract Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal accumulation of a lipoproteinaceous material in the alveoli, which may lead to respiratory failure and has an associated high risk for infections. The mainstay treatment for PAP is whole lung lavage. A pregnant woman, previously diagnosed with primary PAP, the most common form of PAP, was admitted with dyspnea and worsening respiratory function. In one month period, a wholelung bronchopulmonary lavage was performed twice, with clinical and functional improvement. Pregnancy was carried to term and a healthy baby was delivered. The mechanisms of respiratory impairment are discussed as well as treatment options and response. Resumo A proteinose alveolar pulmonar (PAP) é uma doença rara caracterizada pela acumulação anormal de material lipoproteináceo nos alvéolos, que pode levar a insufi ciência respiratória, estando associada a um risco elevado de infecções. O tratamento gold-standard da PAP é a lavagem pulmonar total.
- Buschke-Lowenstein TumorPublication . Pinto, A.; Guedes-Martins, L.; Marques, C.; Cabral, J.Introduction: Giant condyloma acuminatum belongs to a spectrum of diseases with malignant degeneration. Clinically, it presents as exophytic, fungating masses, sometimes with a cauliflower-like morphology. Case presentation: We present a case of a 32-year-old female patient with a 180x95x80mm exophytic mass of the vulvar region suggestive of Buschke-Lowenstein Tumour. Treatment included wide local excision with electrosurgery and CO2 vaporization of recurrent focal lesions. Histopathological analysis confirmed the expected diagnosis. Surgery went without complications and the patient is lesion-free at the 12th month of follow-up. Conclusion: There is a lack of consistent trials regarding optimal treatment of BLT. Surgery, when feasible, remains the mainstay of treatment. It allows quick lesion size reduction, with fewer side effects and more rapid return to daily living activities, when compared to other treatment options.
- Fathers’ emotional involvement with the neonate: impact of the umbilical cord cutting experiencePublication . Brandão, S.; Figueiredo, B.Abstract Aims. This paper is a report on a study analysing the effect of the umbilical cord cutting experience on fathers’ emotional involvement with their infants. Background. Participation in childbirth offers an opportunity for father and mother to share the childbirth experience, so it is vital that midwives improve the fathers’ participation in this event. Design. A quasi-experimental study with a quantitative methodology was implemented. Methods. One hundred and five fathers were recruited as part of a convenience sample in a Maternity Public Hospital in a Metropolitan City in Portugal, between January and May of 2008. The Bonding Scale, the Portuguese version of the ‘Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale’ was used to evaluate the fathers’ emotional involvement with the neonate at different moments: before childbirth, first day after childbirth and first month after childbirth. After childbirth, the fathers were divided into three separate groups depending on their umbilical cord cutting experience. Results. The results demonstrate that the emotional involvement between father and child tends to increase during the first days after childbirth and to decrease when evaluated 1 month after birth, for fathers who did not cut the umbilical cord. However, fathers who cut the umbilical cord demonstrate an improvement in emotional involvement 1 month later. Conclusion. Results suggest that the umbilical cord cutting experience benefits the father’s emotional involvement with the neonate, supporting the benefits of his participation and empowerment in childbirth.
