Complications of coracoid transfer procedures for the treatment of recurrent shoulder dislocation
Ana Catarina Pereira, Manuel Gutierres
Porto Biomed J. 2017;2:161-6
Highlights

  • •

    Coracoid transfer procedures are known to be successful when it comes to prevention of recurrence. However, all of them are invariably associated with high complication rates, especially limited range of motion.

  • •

    Arthroscopic technique was found to have an overall lower rate of complications when compared to the open procedures.

  • •

    Despite being scarce, the CHSJ data roughly overlap the literature.

Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients
Raquel Lobo-Cardoso, André Torres Magalhães, José Luís Fougo
Porto Biomed J. 2017;2:170-3
Highlights

  • •

    The overall response rate to neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) was 54.55%.

  • •

    The eight patients proposed to tumour's downstage, after 9.71 months of NET, preserved their breast.

  • •

    In the group which achieved response, 10.28 months was the mean time to accomplish it.

  • •

    Even patients who had the worst outcome only began to suffer latter in the course of therapy.

  • •

    NET can be done beyond the conventional 3–4 months to allow additional downstage of the tumour.
