- Interventional Algorithm in Gastrointestinal Bleeding-An Expert Consensus Multimodal Approach Based on a Multidisciplinary TeamPublication . Rodrigues, A; Carrilho, A; Almeida, N; Baldaia, C; Alves, A; Gomes, M; Gonçalves, L; Robalo Nunes, A; Leal Pereira, C; Silva, MJ; Aguiar, J; Órfão, R; Duarte, P; Tato Marinho, RThe approach to the patient with gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) can be very complex. A multidisciplinary panel of physicians with expertise in Gastroenterology, Anesthesiology, and Transfusion Medicine worked together to provide the best knowledge and guide clinical practitioners in the real setting of health institutions, characterized by disparate availability of human and technical resources. The authors propose a global and personalized approach according to different clinical scenarios to improve the outcomes of patients with GIB, for whom the reduction of inappropriate transfusions is crucial. The goal of this document is to provide clear and objective guidance through interventional algorithms toward a goal-directed approach according to the clinical situation and supported by the latest available scientific data on GIB management in different settings.
- Intrahepatic Clear Cell Cholangiocarcinoma - An Uncommon Histologic Subtype: Case Report and Literature ReviewPublication . Raimundo Fernandes, S; Baldaia, C; Pinto Marques, H; Tortosa, F; Ramalho, FClear-cell cholangiocarcinoma is a very uncommon variant of cholangiocarcinoma with a largely unknown natural history and prognosis. We report a case of a 51-year-old previously healthy woman presenting with a large liver nodule found on routine imaging. Needle biopsy of the lesion suggested a non-hepatocellular carcinoma. After extensive workup for other primary neoplasms, the patient underwent a partial hepatectomy. Histopathology was compatible with a moderately differentiated clear-cell cholangiocarcinoma. There was no evidence of liver disease in the remaining tissue. The patient underwent chemotherapy and remains in clinical remission after two years.
