Caracterização da adesão terapêutica dos doentes seguidos no Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Norte, EPE, no decurso do tratamento da, Esclerose Múltipla, Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica, Artrite Reumatóide, Espondilite Anquilosante, Artrite Psoriática, Artrite Idiopática Juvenil Poliarticular, Psoríase em Placas, Polineuropatia Amiloidótica Familiar (Paramiloidose) e HIV/Sida : análise retrospetiva

RESUMO - Objetivos: Caracterizar a adesão à terapêutica nos doentes do CHLN, na área do VIH/SIDA, Esclerose, Artrite Reumatóide, Psoríase e Paramiloidose e avaliar a hipótese de ser possível prever o risco de um doente se tornar, num doente sem adesão. Metodologia: Estudo retrospetivo, observacional e longitudinal, realizado entre Janeiro de 2010 a 31 de Dezembro de 2013, a 4.761 doentes, em que a adesão à terapêutica foi calculada com base nos registos informáticos das dispensas de medicação, efectuados pelos Serviços Farmacêuticos, com recurso à Compliance Rate (CR) e utilizada como variável dependente. A estatística descritiva foi utilizada para caracterizar os doentes e os seus levantamentos e a regressão logística para avaliar o efeito das variáveis (idade, sexo, distrito de residência, período de observação, número de interrupções superiores a trinta dias e tempo até à primeira interrupção) sobre a adesão à terapêutica. Resultados e Conclusões: A percentagem de doentes com adesão foi de 64%, no entanto no HIV/Sida e na Artrite Reumatóide e Psoríase esta percentagem foi significativamente mais baixa, 42% dos doentes interromperam a terapêutica por períodos superiores a 30 dias, ocorrendo essa interrupção maioritariamente entre o primeiro e segundo ano de terapêutica. O modelo de regressão logística permitiu verificar que só com as variáveis sociodemográficas não é possível prever o risco de um doente se tornar num doente sem adesão, sendo para tal necessário adicionar ao modelo a variável número de interrupções superiores a 30 dias que foi identificada como importante factor preditivo da não adesão (OR=15,9, p=0,000).

Synthesis of the Piacenzian onshore record between the Aveiro and Setubal parallels (Western portuguese margin)

Onshore, the Piacenzianof the Mondego and Lower Tagus Tertiary basins comprises siliciclastic sediments deposited in shallow marine to continental environments. The outcrops of the deposits are relatively widespread in the Aveiro and Seuibal region. A lithostratigraphic synthesis based on the correlation of geological sections, is presented for the two basins. In general, the Piacenzian sediments display a regressive sucession. The Late Tortonian-Zanclean (?) confined drainage pattern changed at the beginning of Piazencian, to fluvial systems draining to the Atlantic, and capturing the drainage of the inner parts of the Hesperic Meseta. The Piacenzian sedimentary sequence post-dates one of the uprising phases during Neogene compression, recorded by a strong regional unconformity. Some local active faulting - as in Lousa, Rio Maior and Senibal- Pinhal Novo - allowed the local thickening of the sedimentary record. Later compressive tectonism continues to generate reverse faulting and diapiric reactivation, affecting those sediments. Currently, the Piacenzian deposits culminates the marginal piedmonts, widely eroded by the Quaternary fluvial dissection.

The Deinotherium (Proboscidea, Mammalia): an abnormal tusk from Lisbon, the Miocene record in Portugal and the first appearance datum. Evidence from Lisbon, Portugal

An exceptionally favourable stratigraphic and chronologic context concerning the Miocene series in Lisbon allows us to stress that there are two successive data as far as the Proboscideans' immigration into western Europe is concerned: firstly, that of Gomphotheres, and later that of Deinotheres. The study of a Langhian (in age) tusk has shown that Deinotherinm havaricum was still present then. The time span of this species could be accurately recognized. A discussion on the genus Deinotherium is presented, as well as its occurrence in Portugal and on its ecologic meaning.

Ostracoda: database for the Neogene of Portugal

The "Ostracoda: database for the Neogene of Portugal", prepared under the Project "POCTl/36531/PAL/2000 - Studies on Portuguese Palaeontology / Post-Paleozoic", is presented. It provides information about 158 especies that have been recognized in sections and boreholes concerning Neogene units in Portugal.
