- Draft genome sequences of two Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates with different antibiotic susceptibilitiesPublication . Soares-Castro, P; Marques, D; Demyanchuck, S; Faustino, A; Santos, PMPseudomonas aeruginosa is a primary cause of opportunistic infections. We have sequenced and annotated the genomes of two P. aeruginosa clinical isolates evidencing different antibiotic susceptibilities. Registered differences in the composition of their accessory genomes may provide clues on P. aeruginosa strategies to thrive in different environments like infection loci.
- No reason to smile: giant internal carotid artery aneurysmPublication . Miranda, M; Marques, D; Montes, V; Pita, FGiant cerebral aneurysms account for approximately 5% of all intracranial aneurysms, affecting morecommonly women in the 5th to 7th decade. When untreated, giant intracranial aneurysms face a poor prognosis withan estimated 2-year mortality of 68%. We present the case of an 82-year-old woman admitted at the emergencydepartment due to two focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures with a giant aneurysm of the supraclinoid segment ofthe right internal carotid artery on the CT scan. We discuss different management approaches for giant internalcarotid artery aneurysms, including direct surgical clipping, reconstructive endovascular procedures (coiling, balloon-/stent-assisted coiling, and flow diversion), deconstructive endovascular techniques (parent artery occlusion), andconservative management.
