Over one million infants are born to HIV-1-infected women every year in Sub Saharan Africa. In Zimbabwe, annual births stand at 379,000 with approximately 48,000 infants being born every year to HIV-1-infected women on lifelong highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Concerns have been
Patient Selection:
Screen ~400 Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients followed in Centro Hospitalar do Porto outpatient clinic. All RA patients with regular follow-up will be potentially included.
The investigators also aim to enrol age-matched controls for biomarker comparison.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common urological malignancies. Approximately 338,000 people are diagnosed with RCC worldwide each year, representing approximately 2-3 % of all cancers.
RCC can be classified into non-epithelial and epithelial, according to cell origin. The four major
Introduction. Vitamin D regulates mineral metabolism. Its deficiency has been associated with diabetes, cancer and increased mortality. 25OH vitamin D (25VD) is stable and suitable for the evaluation of vitamin D sufficiency.
The aim of the study is to evaluate whether cholecalciferol
Hemodialysis (HD) is the most worldwide prescribed renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. This treatment that relies heavily on technology has undergone major modifications in the last five decades in order to improve patients' outcomes. Those changes that aimed at
Despite the significant improvements in the therapeutic management of beta thalassemia major (BTM) over the past few decades, osteoporosis is still a common finding, even in optimally treated patients. The relationships between bone mineral densities (BMD) and several clinical characteristics or
Breast reconstruction (BR) is commonly requested following mastectomy, and recent measures have been taken to ensure patient access is universal. Transferring autologous tissue from the abdomen using microvascular surgical techniques provides a reliable reconstruction method with high levels of
INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is characterized by deficiencies in blood cell production that can lead to anemia, which may necessitate regular transfusions of red blood cells (RBCs) as supportive therapy. While this treatment can be life-saving, since the body has no
