Editorial Note
Paediatrics

June 1 is International Children’s Day and maybe that’s why this month’s edition of the Faculty of Medicine of Lisbon’s newsletter is about Paediatrics. I couldn’t agree more. Paediatrics is Internal Medicine aimed at ages 0 to 18, an age group that in some cases is extended to 21 or more, in cases of chronic illness. But children’s medicine, despite its split into subspecialties, has managed to retain its cohesion, with no dissociation or disbanding. As Coordinator of the Paediatrics area of the Faculty of Medicine of Lisbon, I accepted the invitation from the Newsletter’s editorial team. The Paediatrics/University Clinic […]

This research has uncovered a group of T lymphocytes that can hinder the body’s defences against cancer, yet these cells can be stopped, thus counteracting their negative effect. The […]

Maria do Céu Machado – A symphony of life

She waited for me in the meeting room, despite prior commitments that delayed me by half an hour. “The Professor is waiting for you over there,” it was as if I had received a bouquet of flowers, unconventional, I know, but from the joy of the meeting, which I longed for, I greeted her with two kisses, instead of the handshake imposed on us by a certain social protocol. “You know that the idea of working is something you can do anywhere. I did not waste my time, don’t worry.” In the hustle and bustle between the hectic schedule of […]

Professor Ana Isabel Lopes – Interview

It would be easy to ask him to describe his academic and professional career until he arrived here. He chose Gastro’s specialty within Pediatrics. But what made her follow this path? It is hard for me to describe so many years of work in a nutshell, but I should say that it is with great pride that I took up an academic and professional career focused on the great School that the Faculty of Medicine of Lisbon and the Santa Maria Hospital was and still is for me. And I acknowledge that regardless of other valid external training inputs, such […]

Study Medicine – 2018 Applicant’s Day

Last April, Applicant’s Day celebrated its 10th anniversary. A pensar nos alunos que estão a fazer as suas escolhas universitárias, este Dia existe para que a Faculdade mostre os seus bastidores, permitindo que encontrem as respostas que procuram. Mas como nasceu este Dia? Thinking about the students who are making their university choices, this Day exists so that the Faculty can show them how it works behind the scenes, allowing them to find the answers they are seeking. But how did this Day come to be? Then-Director of the Faculty of Medicine, Professor José Fernandes, takes a journey back in time. […]

More and Better
“Medicine is a Profession of Princes” – Professor António Vaz Carneiro on Applicant’s Day

It was one of the last speeches of Applicant’s Day, António Vaz Carneiro is the Professor that several students say never fails to meet expectations when they meet him again in class, some time later. The Director of the Institute of Preventative Medicine and Public Health and the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Studies is a customary presence on the day that the Faculty of Medicine opens its doors to the curious students who ponder which institute to choose when they enter Medicine. An easy communicator, he knows that if he tells a story while walking through the auditorium, he’ll be […]

To better know the artistic heritage of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon

The magazine Midas: Museus e Estudos Interdisciplinares publishes, in its 9th issue of 2018, the article “Brief Reflection on the artistic heritage of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon”, by Ana Mehnert Pascoal, which we have published here. There are few studies on the artistic heritage of the University and, in particular, on the FMUL in recent years, so we welcome this publication, which we strongly recommend reading. The Newsletter contacted the author, who told us by way of contextualising: “The first studies I did on university heritage correspond to my master’s thesis about the artistic heritage […]

The 33rd Anniversary of the CPFMUL was celebrated in Vila Viçosa on April 28

The commemorative tour began with a visit to the Ducal Palace, a guided tour of about an hour that enchanted the participants who had the pleasure of discovering many curiosities about the last inhabitant of the palace, King D. Carlos, as well as to the largest kitchen in Europe in terms of the number of copper utensils, among other peculiarities of the day-to-day life of the illustrious figures who used to live in that national monument. The lunch took place in a very pleasant venue, in the middle of a garden, with traditional “Migas” from Alentejo and the CPFMUL anniversary […]

Tiago Proença dos Santos – The Paediatric Neurologist

We are at the Paediatric Emergency Room, where Tiago Proença dos Santos was called in to evaluate a case in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit. The Santa Maria Hospital receives many children with intensive care support needs. As Santa Maria has the only paediatric Neurotrauma centre in southern Portugal (from Algarve to Coimbra), it receives many seriously ill patients with neurological complications. Currently, Paediatrics provides medical care from birth to eighteen years of age. Santa Maria and other Portuguese hospitals realised that, within such a diversity of ages, there was the need to provide differentiated care, developing the different knowledge […]

Quando se começa a ser Pediatra – Os primeiros passos de um médico interno

É nas urgências da Pediatria do Hospital de Santa Maria que encontramos Mafalda Castelão, médica interna, e com a fibra necessária de quem ainda agora começou o longo caminho da Pediatria. Ex-aluna da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa, seguiu as pisadas do Hospital de Santa Maria pela complexidade e desafio clínicos. Encontramo-nos nas urgências da Pediatria onde me mostra parte das urgências, como uma anfitriã na sua casa, a sala de reanimação, os desenhos pintados nos corredores que pretendem amenizar a relação com os seus pequenos doentes. O objetivo da nossa conversa foi perceber os primeiros passos, de […]

Professor Madalena Patrício – Coordinator of the Applicant’s Day

Responsible for coordinating the Applicant’s Day for the second consecutive year, Professor Madalena Patrício tries to put herself in the students’ shoes, in order to anticipate what may interest them during their visit to the FMUL. She is very methodical and active, holds several positions and attends many conferences and events around the world. With a great sense of responsibility, she likes to delegate and motivate her team members and praises and rewards, without exception, those who make the impossible feasible. She has an untiring energy, thus motivating her entire team for this great challenge. Is the Applicant’s Day still […]

Quando um docente revela interesse nos seus alunos, e lhes transmite conselhos construtivos sobre o seu desempenho, reforçando quer os pontos positivos, quer os negativos, estamos na presença de […]

Volunteering makes time less burdensome – Susana Machaqueiro Silva

Her name is Susana Machaqueiro Silva and she’s 66 years old. Trained as a nursery school teacher, she worked in that area for 41 years and retired in 2015. Her retirement allowed her to take up new duties, embracing causes that benefitted from her experience as a nursery school teacher. For the past two years, she has been a volunteer at the Paediatric Outpatient Clinic of the Santa Maria Hospital. Why did you choose Paediatrics to work as a volunteer? Susana Silva: I was invited by Rosário Botelho, a nursery school teacher who has been a friend of mine since […]

Children have Educators at the Hospital – A guided tour by Rosário Botelho

Being a children educator for thirty-six years, Rosário Botelho always preferred to develop work with children their families, not only with children. The twenty years spent working at Santa Casa da Misericórdia in Lisbon, the relationship with various, vulnerable social groups and her social intervention in degraded neighbourhoods, gave her the emotional structure that allows her to coordinate the team of Educators at the Santa Maria Hospital. After seventeen years at Santa Maria, she asked the Ministry of Solidarity to be transferred to the Ministry of Health, “I wanted to be in direct contact, as I missed being around children”. […]

Did you know?
The Hospital also includes a School – A lesson given by Professor Sara Costa

Paediatrics at Santa Maria Hospital has a School since 2002, which was born of a protocol between PT, the National Association of Cystic Fibrosis of HSM, the Ministry of Education and CANTIC (Organism of this Ministry), because there were children who were hospitalised for more than a week and in need of continued treatment, which meant they were losing much of what was taught in class. At a time when the use of technology systems was scarce and knowledge was less universal, the use of video-conferences or remote classes was an oasis, an innovative system, but with a great need […]

From this Side
Miguel Andrade – From the viewer’s side

He has a discreet and peaceful appearance, but new students who meet him on Candidate Day easily treat him as “Professor,” since he has given up correcting them, as well as given up challenging the older students who call him “Tinoco.” Miguel Tinoco Andrade is another element of our topic “on this side” and who works to try to provide students with better study conditions. Currently, at the Preventive Medicine and Public Health Institute, he manages the operation of several subject areas and many other tasks that Teachers delegate to him, including an important part of that Unit’s Registrar. But […]

Paula from Paediatrics knows the department like nobody else! News@fmul went to meet her.

When we talk about Paediatrics, everyone at the Faculty of Medicine knows Paula. Paula from Paediatrics. We went to meet her and find out why we associate the department with her name. Paula Belmonte, who has been working at the Faculty for 22 years and for 21 in Paediatrics, welcomed us to the Multipurpose Room. An open space, full of light and with a cosy atmosphere, several pouffes and a table in the middle; “a room that is used for absolutely everything”, she tells us, and indeed it looks like a small kindergarten room. We are on the 6th floor […]

Memory Lane
Professor Carlota Saldanha’s Memory Roadmap

Born and raised in Beira, Mozambique, she moved to Lisbon when she was 17 years old and was here to stay. As a little girl, she would only be away from her parents to participate in scouts gatherings or to take school exams. She remembers the beaches, the parties she used to organise with her friends and the playground games, where she could roller skate or play football with the boys. As a student, she always thought that the books from her school’s Library did not match her “will to learn.” We were received by Maria Carlota Saldanha Lopes, or […]
