- Anomalia de Ebstein: um caso com uma evolução inesperadaPublication . Moura, MC; Rocha, S; Ferreira, M; Nunes, MA; Magalhães, MPA anomalia de Ebstein da válvula tricúspide é uma cardiopatia congénita complexa rara. A etiologia é desconhecida e, na maioria dos casos parece ser multifactorial. A mortalidade no período neonatal é alta. Os autores apresentam um caso clínico de anomalia de Ebstein grave com diagnóstico pré-natal. No período perinatal efectuou-se um shunt de Blalock-Taussig modificado à esquerda e aos cinco meses de vida foi submetida a valvuloplastia pulmonar percutânea com sucesso. A evolução clínica tem sido favorável tendo-se optado por não efectuar operação de Glenn. Actualmente com 18 meses de vida encontra-se assintomática. Ebstein’s anomaly of the tricuspid valve is a rare and complex congenital heart defect. Its etiology is unknown and in the majority of cases it is multifactorial. Mortality in the neonatal period is high. The authors present a case of severe Ebstein’s anomaly diagnosed antenatally. In the perinatal period a Blalock-Taussig shunt was performed and at the age of five months the infant underwent successful percutaneous pulmonary valvuloplasty. The clinical outcome has been favorable and we decided to postpone a Glenn procedure. At 18 months the child is asymptomatic.
- Caloric intake and weight gain in a neonatal intensive care unitPublication . Janeiro, P; Cunha, M; Marques, A; Moura, MC; Barroso, R; Carreiro, HThe aim of this paper was to study the weight gain in very-low-birthweight (VLBW) infants by adopting earlier and higher intake of proteins and earlier intake of lipids. We studied 28 VLBW infants admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit during the year 2004 (group 1) and 18 during the first semester of 2006 (group 2). Dietary intakes for group 1 were: 1 g kg−1 day−1 of proteins started at postnatal day 2 (P2) and 0.5–1 g kg−1 day−1 of lipids at P3; for group 2, 1–1.5 g kg−1 day−1 of proteins and 0.5–1 g kg−1 day−1 of lipids, both started at P1. Caloric intake was significantly higher in group 2 (p<0.05), whereas cumulative nutritional deficit was higher in group 1 (p ≤ 0.01). Weight z scores were significantly lower at discharge comparing with z scores at birth for each group (p ≤ 0.01), with no differences between the two groups. Despite a higher protein intake which resulted in a lower nutritional deficit, the weight z score did not improve significantly at discharge.

- Tosse em pediatriaPublication . Martins, S; Moura, MC; Neves, A; Trindade, JA tosse é provavelmente o sintoma mais frequente na criança e, consequentemente, um dos principais motivos de consulta em pediatria. Os mecanismos e as causas da tosse na criança diferem das do adulto e, por esse motivo, é necessária uma diferente abordagem diagnóstica e terapêutica. Este artigo de revisão abrange a fisiopatologia da tosse na criança, as causas mais frequentes, a avaliação diagnóstica inicial e a orientação terapêutica.
