Abstract
Introduction Many internationally studies, in the last two decades, found problematic internet use associated with a variety of psychosocial problems, but in Portugal this is a recent research question specially in adults. Objectives To explore the relationship between problematic Internet use, emotional regulation and self-esteem. Methods 138 Portuguese subjects (77.5% females), with a mean age of 27.76 years old (SD = 8.98, range: 18-58) filled in the Portuguese versions of the Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale-2, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Results Negative consequences subscale of generalized problematic internet use was positively correlated with all the emotional regulation difficulties subscales and negatively with Self-Esteem, and positively with daily hours of internet usage. A similar result was found for Self-Deficient Regulation subscale, except for Clarity subscale. Mood Regulation was correlated with Strategies, Goals and Self-Esteem. Males showed higher levels of Negative Consequences. Age and age onset of Internet use were negatively correlated with Mood Regulation, Self-Deficient Regulation and Negative Consequences. A statistically significant difference in Mood Regulation, Self-Deficient Regulation and Negative Consequences in marital status levels, and in professional situation, with higher median scores in divorced and single without a relationship and in student subjects; no significant differences were found in educational level. Conclusions Generalized problematic Internet use, especially their Negative Consequences, is associated with higher emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, lower age and lower age of Internet onset, being divorced or single without a relationship and being student, and it is more prevalent in males. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Population-based cervical cancer screening (CCS) are deemed to be more cost-effective than opportunistic screening and to reduce inequalities. Implementation in Portugal has been heterogeneous, at the regional level. In Amadora healthcare cluster (Lisbon area), implementation started in April 2018 in a pilot unit and was scaled-up. We aimed to assess population-based CCS implementation in Amadora.
Methods
Population-based CCS targets women aged 30-65, and utilises liquid-based cytology with partial HPV genotyping (HPV16/18 and other high-risk HPV - hrHPV). Samples positive for other hrHPV undergo a cytology. HPV16/18+ and other hrHPV+ with ≥ASCUS (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance) are referred to colposcopy. We assessed implementation according to key indicators extracted from our information system: geographic coverage, number of tests, positive results, positive predictive value of referral (number of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia-CIN/number colposcopies).
Results
As of 30 August 2019, CCS were in place in 4 of the 9 units, potentially covering 20904 women (48.4% of the target population). 1797 womem performed screening within the programme. Invitation for screening is currently implemented in 1 of the 4 units. Screening results were available for 1702 women, 11,1% were HPV+. From these, 26,5% were HPV 16/18+ and 86.2% positive for other hrHPV. Among the latter, 63.2% were negative for intraepithelial lesion and 36.8% were ≥ASCUS. Overall, of these 189 women, 51.3% (n = 97) were referred for colposcopy. Colposcopy results were available for 37 women, of which 13 had a CIN. PPV of referral was 35.1% (95%confidence interval: 20.7;52.6).
Conclusions
Despite being a population-based screening most tests are still opportunistic. There is still a limited number of colposcopies results but the current PPV of referral is low and requires further investigation. Implementation towards a full population-based screening in Amadora should continue.
Key messages
Implementation of a population-based cervical cancer screening in Amadora, Portugal is underway but most screening tests are still applied in an opportunistic manner. A limited number of results is avaliable to estimate positive predictive value of referral to colposcopy. Results available indicate a value of 35.1%, which requires further investigation.

Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the most debilitating psychiatric conditions. An extensive body of the literature has described some of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the core manifestations of the disorder. Nevertheless, most reports have focused on individual modalities of structural/functional brain alterations, mainly through targeted approaches, thus possibly precluding the power of unbiased exploratory approaches. Eighty subjects (40 OCD and 40 healthy controls) participated in a multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) investigation, integrating structural and functional data. Voxel-based morphometry analysis was conducted to compare between-group volumetric differences. The whole-brain functional connectome, derived from resting-state functional connectivity (FC), was analyzed with the network-based statistic methodology. Results from structural and functional analysis were integrated in mediation models. OCD patients revealed volumetric reductions in the right superior temporal sulcus. Patients had significantly decreased FC in two distinct subnetworks: the first, involving the orbitofrontal cortex, temporal poles and the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex; the second, comprising the lingual and postcentral gyri. On the opposite, a network formed by connections between thalamic and occipital regions had significantly increased FC in patients. Integrative models revealed direct and indirect associations between volumetric alterations and FC networks. This study suggests that OCD patients display alterations in brain structure and FC, involving complex networks of brain regions. Furthermore, we provided evidence for direct and indirect associations between structural and functional alterations representing complex patterns of interactions between separate brain regions, which may be of upmost relevance for explaining the pathophysiology of the disorder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchial artery embolisation (BAE) becomes a mainstay in the treatment of hemoptysis. OBJECTIVE To characterise patients with hemoptysis undergoing bronchial artery angiography (BAA) for embolisation, evaluating outcomes. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated patients with acute severe or chronic recurrent hemoptysis admitted to the Pulmonology department and submitted to BAA for purpose of embolisation. RESULTS A total of 88 patients were submitted to BAA, 47 (53.4%) were male, with a mean age of 61.4 ± 15.8 years. In 64 (72.7%) patients, hemoptysis presented as chronic recurrent episodes. Hemoptysis was considered severe in 40 (45.5%) patients. Bronchiectasis (other than cystic fibrosis) (n=35; 38.0%) and tuberculosis sequelae (n=31; 35.2) were the major aetiology for hemoptysis. The main angiographic abnormality was hypertrophy and tortuosity (n=68; 77.3%). BAE was performed in 67 (76.1%) of the 88 patients submitted to BAA. Immediate success was achieved in 66 (98.5%) patients. Recurrence of hemoptysis occurred in 25 (37.3%) patients, and was related to presence of shunting (p=0.049). The procedure-related complications were self-limited. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that BAE is a safe and effective treatment for acute severe and chronic recurrent hemoptysis, supporting the current literature. Besides this, bleeding recurrence was relatively high, and correlated with presence of systemic pulmonary shunting.

Abstract
For a number of decades, different fields of knowledge, including psychology, economics, and neurosciences, have focused their research efforts on a better understanding of the decision-making process. Making decisions based on the probability of future events is routine in everyday life; it occurs whenever individuals select an option from several alternatives, each one associated with a specific value. Sometimes subjects decide knowing the precise outcomes of each option, but commonly they have to decide without knowing the consequences (because either ambiguity or risk is involved). Stress has a broad impact on animal behaviors, affects brain regions involved in decision-making processes, and, when maladaptive, is a trigger for neuropsychiatric disorders. This Mini-Review provides a comprehensive overview on how stress impacts decision-making processes, particularly under uncertain conditions. Understanding this can prove to be useful for intervention related to impairments to decision-making processes that present in several stress-triggered neuropsychiatric disorders.

Abstract
Renal artery pseudoaneurysm is a very rare complication after blunt trauma injury. We report on a case of a 54-year-old man admitted to our hospital for right flank pain and gross hematuria, 5 days after blunt abdominal trauma. The diagnosis of interlobar renal pseudoaneurysm was established by a computed tomography scan and confirmed by angiography. Successful superselective angioembolization was performed. This radiographic intervention is an effective and minimally invasive technique to stop active bleeding from renal artery pseudoaneurysms, when patients are hemodynamically stable and where technically feasible. A review of the literature was carried out.

Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is achronic psychiatric disorder characterized by recurrent intrusive thoughts and/or repetitive compulsory behaviors. This psychiatric disorder is known to be stress responsive, as symptoms increase during periods of stress but also because stressful events may precede the onset of OCD. However, only a few and inconsistent reports have been published about the stress perception and the stress-response in these patients. Herein, we have characterized the correlations of OCD symptoms with basal serum cortisol levels and scores in a stress perceived questionnaire (PSS-10). The present data reveals that cortisol levels and the stress scores in the PSS-10 were significantly higher in OCD patients that in controls. Moreover, stress levels self-reported by patients using the PSS-10 correlated positively with OCD severity in the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS). Interestingly, PSS-10 scores correlated with the obsessive component, but not with the compulsive component, of Y-BOCS. These results confirm that stress is relevant in the context of OCD, particularly for the obsessive symptomatology.

Abstract
Stress and exposure to glucocorticoids (GC) during early life render individuals vulnerable to brain disorders by inducing structural and chemical alterations in specific neural substrates. Here we show that adult rats that had been exposed to in utero GCs (iuGC) display increased preference for opiates and ethanol, and are more responsive to the psychostimulatory actions of morphine. These animals presented prominent changes in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc), a key component of the mesolimbic reward circuitry; specifically, cell numbers and dopamine (DA) levels were significantly reduced, whereas DA receptor 2 (Drd2) mRNA expression levels were markedly upregulated in the NAcc. Interestingly, repeated morphine exposure significantly downregulated Drd2 expression in iuGC-exposed animals, in parallel with increased DNA methylation of the Drd2 gene. Administration of a therapeutic dose of L-dopa reverted the hypodopaminergic state in the NAcc of iuGC animals, normalized Drd2 expression and prevented morphine-induced hypermethylation of the Drd2 promoter. In addition, L-dopa treatment promoted dendritic and synaptic plasticity in the NAcc and, importantly, reversed drug-seeking behavior. These results reveal a new mechanism through which drug-seeking behaviors may emerge and suggest that a brief and simple pharmacological intervention can restrain these behaviors in vulnerable individuals.

Abstract
Aging is associated with behavioral changes, including increased anxiety. In this study we confirmed a hyperanxious status in aged animals, measured in the elevated-plus maze and in the acoustic startle. Subsequently, we searched for age-related changes in the volume and cell numbers in the amygdala or in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, but failed to detect gross structural changes in these two brain areas, both implicated in emotionality.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein A-IV concentration was measured by a newly developed competitive enzyme immunoassay in sera from fasted human subjects (n = 105) whose triglyceride concentrations ranged from 20 to 474 mg/dl (total cholesterol below 260 mg/dl) and in which chylomicrons could not be detected. Mean (+/- SD) apolipoprotein A-IV concentration was 13.0 +/- 2.6 mg/dl in sera with triglyceride levels ranging from 20 to 100 mg/dl, 16.9 +/- 3.7 mg/dl in sera with triglyceride levels ranging from 101 to 250 mg/dl, and 22.7 +/- 6.7 mg/dl in sera with triglyceride levels ranging from 251 to 474 mg/dl. The differences among the three groups were highly significant (P less than 0.001). Moreover, variations of apolipoprotein A-IV concentrations according to the triglyceride levels were noted within the normo-triglyceridemic population. Apolipoprotein A-IV concentration was 12.8 +/- 2.1 mg/dl for triglyceride levels ranging from 20 to 75 mg/dl and 16.4 +/- 3.8 mg/dl for triglyceride levels ranging from 76 to 150 mg/dl (P less than 0.01). In the entire population that was studied there was a significant linear correlation (r = 0.61, P less than 0.001) between the concentrations of serum apolipoprotein A-IV and triglyceride. Although the hypothesis of an unknown factor independently influencing both very low density lipoproteins and apolipoprotein A-IV cannot be ruled out, and although no apolipoprotein A-IV was found in the triglyceride-rich lipoprotein fraction after separation by gel filtration, these data suggest that, in fasting subjects, the secretion of very low density lipoproteins could contribute to the plasma apolipoprotein A-IV level.
