- Difficult diagnosis of a foreign body inhalation in a COPD patientPublication . Barros, Pedro Pereira; Santos, Bruno dos; Brito, Ulisses61-Year-old male, former smoker, medical history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease GOLD 3B. In the outpatient follow-up, the patient had complaints of stridor, dysphonia, and precordial oppression, while denying any choking episode. After otorhinolaryngology observation, no alterations were seen in the laryngoscopy. In the next clinical evaluation, there was a worsening of the patient’s dysphonia and dyspnea.
- Editorial: Manipulation of plant architecture for crop productionPublication . Hilioti, Zoe; Panagiotis, Kalaitzis; Merkouropoulos, Georgios; Antunes, Maria DulcePlant architecture, encompassing the spatial arrangement and morphological characteristics of plant organs, plays a crucial role in agricultural productivity. This Research Topic presents current research and review on the manipulation of plant architecture in major crops, highlighting key findings from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers, and genetic manipulation efforts.
- The impact of delays in inter-hospital transfers on ST-elevation myocardial infarctionPublication . Mimoso, JorgeThe guidelines for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) care provide an overview of therapies and strategies that improve prognosis and reduce mortality in patients presenting with STEMI.
- Long-term recurrent events in ST-elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel disease: the impact of different revascularization strategiesPublication . Mimoso, JorgeThis study makes an important contribution to responding to issues in the field. Significant non-culprit lesions should undergo revascularization because it can reduce recurrent cardiovascular events compared to the culprit-vessel-only PCI strategy. Second, there are no significant differences in clinical endpoint between it being conducted at index hospital admission or after discharge. They observed a reduction of up to two days in hospital stay in the delayed CR group when compared with the in-hospital CR group; in-hospital CR was an independent predictor of a longer hospital stay. Thus, in view of the recurrent lack of hospital beds in cardiology services, reducing the length of hospital stay in a safe way for patients and postponing revascularization of non-culprit patients after discharge could improve service management and cardiovascular care.
- Vedolizumab and new‐onset spondyloarthritis: debunking the mythPublication . Roseira, Joana; Marafini, Irene; Noor, Nurulamin M.Despite an increased understanding of the etiopathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), prevention or cure remains a distant aspiration and current treatment approaches often do not achieve long‐term disease remission. An additional complexity is that IBD can also be associated with a range of extra‐intestinal manifestations (EIMs). Among these EIMs, peripheral and axial rheumatological manifestations are perhaps the most prevalent, grouped under the term spondyloarthritis (SpA). The presentation of SpA can be before or after IBD diagnosis and presents several unique challenges. Notably, the presence of SpA can significantly impact on quality of life for patients and influence therapeutic decision‐making.
