Deferred Surgical Treatment of Upper Limb Trauma in a Pandemic Context

Introduction: In order to manage the high number of patients with upper limb fractures that require surgical treat‐ ment, it is essential to have a well‐defined structure, in order to promote an adequate response to each type of orthope‐ dic pathology and to fit the reality of all other pathologies. In order to reduce hospital stays and promote better treat‐ ment of patients, our service promoted the deferred t...

Lithium Role in the Clean Energy Transition: Challenges and Prospects [Comunica...

Simultaneous emission of four TEM00-mode solar-pumped lasers

The improvement of TEM00-mode laser conditions is a key focus in solar laser research, especially for applications requiring low divergence and high power density. Using multiple active media to mitigate thermal load is a promising strategy to enhance beam quality, scalability, and stability of laser output power. However, to our knowledge, no experimental research has been conducted on the emission of multiple...

Trust, Privacy and Authenticity in Scientific Data Sharing: The Role of Blockch...

Efficient and secure sharing of scientific data remains a key challenge in the Open Science framework, especially in terms of data authenticity, provenance and privacy. Traditional digital repositories improve access but often lack decentralized mechanisms that guarantee integrity and traceability. Blockchain technology provides a potential solution through tamper-proof records and distributed consensus, while ...

Solar-Pumped Ce:Nd:YAG Laser Amplifier Design

A solar-pumped Ce:Nd:YAG laser amplifier design is proposed to address the challenge of scaling output power in solar-pumped laser oscillators while maintaining high beam quality. The design employs a 1.33 m2 flat Fresnel lens with a 2 m focal length as a primary concentrator, which is combined with a secondary homogenizing concentrator, featuring 40 mm × 40 mm input aperture, 200 mm length, and 11.3 mm × 26 mm...

Efeitos da meditação e/ou relaxação combinadas com biofeedback em contexto de r...

Introdução: Recentemente, a integração de meditação e técnicas de relaxamento, complementadas pelo biofeedback, tem ganhado atenção na psicologia clínica. Esta abordagem, não farmacológica e não invasiva, utiliza o biofeedback para permitir que os indivíduos monitorizem as suas funções fisiológicas, melhorando a prática de meditação ou relaxamento e fortalecendo a conexão mente-corpo, tendo o potencial de també...

Spontaneous Splenic Rupture – A Complication Of Cirrhosis With Portal Hypertension

 Introduction: Splenic rupture is a potentially life-threatening condition, often associated with trauma. Spontaneous rupture is very rare and is usually reported as being secondary to underlying pathological conditions. Case Report: An 89-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with a sudden-onset abdominal pain in the left hypochondrium following a coughing episode. Investigation re...

Effects of meditation and/or relaxation combined with biofeedback in the contex...

Introduction: Recently, the integration of meditation and relaxation techniques, complemented by biofeedback, has gained attention in clinical psychology. This non-pharmacological and non-invasive approach utilizes biofeedback to allow individuals to monitor their physiological functions, enhancing the practice of meditation or relaxation and strengthening the mind-body connection, with the potential to also be...

Treatment patterns and preferences of people living with HIV starting or switch...

Background: There is a lack of up-to-date real-life evidence on antiretroviral therapy (ART) strategies among people living with HIV (PLWH) in Portugal. This study aimed to describe the treatment strategy used in PLWH either initiating or switching ART. Methods: Non-interventional, cross-sectional, multicenter study carried out between December 2019 and October 2021 in Portugal. Results: A total of 237 PLWH wer...
