- [Transient hypertrophic neonatal myocardiopathy after acute fetal distress]Publication . GUIMARÃES, P.; TEIXEIRA, F.; MORAIS, L.; ALVARES, S.Rev Port Cardiol. 1998 Jan;17(1):89-92. [Transient hypertrophic neonatal myocardiopathy after acute fetal distress]. [Article in Portuguese] Guimarães P, Teixeira F, Morais L, Alvares S. Unidade de Cardiologia Pediátrica, Hospital de Crianças Maria Pia. Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is rare in neonates. The causes include metabolic disease, maternal diabetes, dexamethasone therapy in premature newborns for bronchopulmonary dysplasia and idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The authors present a case report regarding a neonate with transient hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, after acute fetal distress. Signs of congestive cardiac failure appeared at day 1. Echocardiography showed signs of mild pulmonary hypertension and normal ventricular wall thickness. Echocardiography on day 2 showed hypertrophy of myocardial walls affecting first the right ventricular anterior wall and the interventricular septum, followed by the left ventricular posterior wall. With therapy, clinical improvement was noted on day 4. The ventricular wall thickness was almost normal at three weeks. The authors alert physicians to the importance of echocardiographic examination of these neonates. PMID: 9580509 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
- Violence and alcoholism in the family: how are the children affected?Publication . MALPIQUE, C.; BARRIAS, P.; MORAIS, L.; SALGADO, M.; PINTO DA COSTA, I.; RODRIQUES, M.Alcohol Alcohol. 1998 Jan-Feb;33(1):42-6. Violence and alcoholism in the family: how are the children affected? Malpique C, Barrias P, Morais L, Salgado M, Pinto Da Costa I, Rodriques M. SourceChild and Adolescent Psychiatry Department, Hospital Central de Criancas Maria Pia, Porto, Portugal. Abstract We made an evaluation of how children and adolescents are affected if they live in a family environment where violence associated with alcoholism is a feature. Interviews with 20 families and the use of psychological tests on their children were performed in this study. The study has demonstrated the existence of psychopathological disturbances in those families' children, whose immaturity and insecurity were expressed by aggressive behaviour or by depressive manifestations. It also became evident that there was a transgenerational alcoholism-violence frequency.
