- A comparative model study between the survivability of dental implants versus dental autotransplants, leading to a systematic reviewPublication . Alcobia, M.; Gomes, J.; Maia, P.; Proença, L.; Marques, J. F.; Marques, J.Aim: The aim of this Systematic Review is to compare the survival rate of teeth autotransplantation with immediate implant placement in cases of singular loss of teeth and obtain a clinical recommendation for similar cases. Materials And Methods: The research will be conducted by two independent reviewers in PubMed search and it will include studies from January 2017 to December 2020. The survival rate of both immediate implant placement and tooth autotransplantation will be evaluated in different follow-up times and the information compiled in several meta-analyses.
- Large maxillary cyst decompression : two case reportsPublication . Zagalo, L.; Gomes, J.; Lesyshyn, V.; Maia, P.; Marques, J.Maxillary odontogenic cysts frequently appear as asymptomatic intra-bony inflammatory lesions, sometimes reaching largedimensions. Both clinical and anatomopathological approach must be performed in the differential diagnosis in order to eliminate oncogenic origin. The classical surgical approach for these situations is,among others and depending on the cyst type, enucleation. This can be performed with aggressive bone curettage or with physical or chemical additional treatments of the area, such as cryotherapy or Carnoy solution application. Specially in large dimension lesions or when involving noble structures, marsupialization is also an important option. It consists in the creation of a surgical opening of the pathological cavity to allow decompression and with it, shrinkage of the lesion, and consequent bone regeneration in that area. This is kept during a limited period, so that a definitive approach can be attained later with an easier surgical technique, with fewer risks and/or less morbidity for the patient. Two clinical cases of large mandibular cysts are presented. The treatment approach was made initially with surgical decompression, being the area maintained open using a plastic catheter sutured to the mucosa and programmed for future enucleation.
- Lessons learned from the ATLAS performance studies of the Iberian Cloud for the first LHC running periodPublication . Sanchez-Martinez, V.; Borges, G.; Borrego, C.; Peso, J.del; Delfino, M.; Gomes, J.; Gonzales de la Hoz, S.; Pacheco Pages, A.; Salt, J.; Sedov, A.; Villaplana, M.; Wolters, H.In this contribution we describe the performance of the Iberian (Spain and Portugal) ATLAS cloud during the first LHC running period (March 2010-January 2013) in the context of the GRID Computing and Data Distribution Model. The evolution of the resources for CPU, disk and tape in the Iberian Tier-1 and Tier-2s is summarized. The data distribution over all ATLAS destinations is shown, focusing on the number of files transferred and the size of the data. The status and distribution of simulation and analysis jobs within the cloud are discussed. The Distributed Analysis tools used to perform physics analysis are explained as well. Cloud performance in terms of the availability and reliability of its sites is discussed. The effect of the changes in the ATLAS Computing Model on the cloud is analyzed. Finally, the readiness of the Iberian Cloud towards the first Long Shutdown (LS1) is evaluated and an outline of the foreseen actions to take in the coming years is given. The shutdown will be a good opportunity to improve and evolve the ATLAS Distributed Computing system to prepare for the future challenges of the LHC operation.

- Portuguese consensus document for the management of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiencyPublication . Lopes, A.P.; Mineiro, M.A.; Costa, F.; Gomes, J.; Santos, C.; Antunes, C.; Maia, D.; Melo, R.; Canotilho, M.; Magalhães, E.; Vicente, I.; Valente, C.; Gonçalves, B.G.; Conde, B.; Guimarães, C.; Sousa, C.; Amado, J.; Brandão, M.E.; Sucena, M.; Oliveira, M.J.; Seixas, S.; Teixeira, V.; Telo, L.Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a genetic autosomal codominant disorder caused by mutations in SERPINA1 gene. It is one of the most prevalent genetic disorders, although it remains underdiagnosed. Whereas at international level there are several areas of consensus on this disorder, in Portugal, inter-hospital heterogeneity in clinical practice and resources available have been adding difficulties in reaching a diagnosis and in making therapeutic decisions in this group of patients. This raised a need to draft a document expressing a national consensus for AATD. To this end, a group of experts in this field was created within the Portuguese Pulmonology Society - Study group on AATD, in order to elaborate the current manuscript. The authors reviewed the existing literature and provide here general guidance and extensive recommendations for the diagnosis and management of AATD that can be adopted by Portuguese clinicians from different areas of Medicine. This article is part of a supplement entitled "Portuguese consensus document for the management of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency" which is sponsored by Sociedade Portuguesa de Pneumologia.
- A retrospective study of the clinical relashionship between the use of removable dentures and the development of fibrous proliferation in the oral mucosaPublication . Campina, C.; Gomes, J.; Maia, P.; Proença, L.; Marques, J. F.; Marques, J.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of fibrous lesions in the oral mucosa, associated with the use of removable dentures, at the Egas Moniz University Clinic between 2016 and 2019. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated 240 clinical histories of individuals who were rehabilitated with removable dentures who consulted the department of Oral Rehabilitation in the University Dental Clinic of IUEM, between 2016 and 2019. Subsequently, the data was submitted to a statistical analysis in the SPSS program. RESULTS:111 (46.3%) individuals were diagnosed with a fibrous lesion and 129 (53.8%) had no fibrous lesion. Regarding gender and presence of injury, both variables are dependent p <0.001. The most common site of appearance of these lesions was the jugal mucosa, with 39.6% of cases. Age group and lesion presence variables are independent p = 0.766 (p <0.05). As for the type of denture and presence of lesion, these are dependent p = 0.001 (p> 0.05). The most common lesion was denture- induced fibrous hiperplasia with 106 cases (95.5%) and the second lesion was pyogenic granuloma (in involutionary phase) with 5 cases (4.5%). CONCLUSION: There is a direct relationship with gender and the prevalence of oral fibrous lesions, the same was true for the type of prosthesis the patient had. The age group did not influence the appearance of lesions.
