  • Journal: BMC Public Health
  • Link: https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-018-5911-x

Background Cape Verde presents a high rate of cardiovascular diseases. Low potassium and high sodium intakes are related to cardiovascular diseases. However, studies regarding these two micronutrients continue to be rare in African urban settings. This work aims to estimate potassium and sodium intakes and to analyse the self-reported salt intake by gender and by […]

  • Journal: Journal of global antimicrobial resistance
  • Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213716518300158?via%3Dihub%20

OBJECTIVE: Since physicians play an important role on antibiotic usage, it is vital to understand their antibiotic-prescribing behaviour and knowledge on antimicrobial resistance, in order to develop and implement effective antibiotic stewardship interventions. The aim of this study was to evaluate Portuguese physicians’ knowledge, and understand prescription behaviours, difficulties and barriers in their antibiotic prescription […]

Cryptococcosis caused by the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic mycosis, infecting mainly immunodepressed individuals. Molecular epidemiology studies of cryptococcosis in Europe are limited. This paper presents a retrospective study of cryptococcosis in 105 cryptococcal isolates from two hospitals in Lisbon, Portugal, among HIV/AIDS patients, from 1991 to 2007. Among these patients, the number of […]
