An investigation of digital skills of therapeutic radiographers/radiation thera...
Barbosa, B.; Oliveira, C.; Bravo, I.; Couto, G.; Antunes, L.; McFadden, S.; Hughes, C.; McClure, P.; Rodrigues, J.; Dias, A.G.This study aims to assess the proficiency level of digital skills, the factors influencing that level and the training needs of Therapeutic Radiographers/Radiation Therapists (TR/RTTs), due to the differences in technology availability and accessibility, variations in the regulation and education of TR/RTTs in European countries, and the lack of a digital skills framework. An online survey was distributed to TR...
Digital skills of therapeutic radiographers/radiation therapists – Document ana...
Barbosa, B.; Bravo, I.; Oliveira, C.; Antunes, L.; Couto, J. G.; McFadden, S.; Hughes, C.; McClure, P.; Dias, A. G.It is estimated that around 50% of cancer patients require Radiotherapy (RT) at some point during their treatment, hence Therapeutic Radiographers/Radiation Therapists (TR/RTTs) have a key role to play in patient management. It is essential for TR/RTTs to keep abreast with new technologies and continuously develop the digital skills necessary for safe RT practice. The RT profession and education is not regulate...

Diagnósticos molecular e citológico de herpesvirus felino tipo 1, chlamydophila...
Vieira, M.; Fonseca, J.; Antunes, L.; Albuquerque, C.; Almeida, O.; Alves, Maria Margarida FerreiraA doença do trato respiratório superior (DTRS), apesar de muito comum em gatos, é frequentemente subvalorizada. Os sinais clínicos apresentados com mais frequência são espirros, tosse, secreção ocular e/ou nasal e conjuntivite. A conjuntivite felina apresenta, maioritariamente, uma natureza infeciosa, tendo como principais responsáveis o Herpesvírus felino-1, Chlamydophila felis e, possivelmente, Mycoplasma fel...
Parapharyngeal tumors - From the clinical aproach to the diagnosis
Tavares, S.; Rodrigues, H.; André, C.; Proença, V.; Brito Mendes, J.; Antunes, L.Introduction: Parapharyngeal tumors are rare, representing about 0.5% of all head and neck tumors. Most (80%) are benign. Primitive tumors correspond to 90% of the cases (40% to 50% originating from the salivary glands and from 25% to 40% with neurogenic origin). They are asymptomatic in the initial stage. The diagnosis is made when the tumor reaches 3 cm, manifesting as an oropharyngeal or cervical mass. The c...
Head and neck cancer - Institucional experience with 2 years of follow up
Tavares, S.; Rodrigues, H.; André, C.; Proença, V.; Brito Mendes, J.; Antunes, L.Head and Neck Cancer is a prevalent disease in our department and requires a multidisciplinary approach. The aim of this study was to group our statistic data in order to compare our data with national and international references and to detect some aspects of evaluation and surveillance that could be changed or meliorated.We designed a retrospective study on the head and neck cancer patients that started their...

Electroencephalogram-based indices applied to dogs' depth of anaesthesia monito...
Brás, Susana; Georgakis, A.; Ribeiro, L.; Ferreira, David A.; Silva, A.; Antunes, L.; Nunes, Catarina S.Hypnotic drug administration causes alterations in the electroencephalogram (EEG) in a dose-dependent manner. These changes cannot be identified easily in the raw EEG, therefore EEG based indices were adopted for assessing depth of anaesthesia (DoA). This study examines several indices for estimating dogs' DoA. Data (EEG, clinical end-points) were collected from 8 dogs anaesthetized with propofol. EEG was initi...
Fuzzy logic model to describe anesthetic effect and muscular influence on EEG C...
Brás, S.; Gouveia, S.; Ribeiro, L.; Ferreira, David A.; Antunes, L.; Nunes, Catarina S.The well-known Cerebral State Index (CSI) quantifies depth of anesthesia and is traditionally modeled with Hill equation and propofol effect-site concentration (Ce). This work brings out two novelties: introduction of electromyogram (EMG) and use of fuzzy logic models with ANFIS optimized parameters. The data were collected from dogs (n = 27) during routine surgery considering two propofol administration protoc...
EMG contributes to improve cerebral state Index modeling in dogs anesthesia
Brás, S.; Ferreira, D. A.; Antunes, L.; Ribeiro, L.; Nunes, Catarina S.; Gouveia, S.Cerebral State Index (CSI) is a measure of depth of anesthesia (DoA) developed for humans, which is traditionally modeled with the Hill equation and the propofol effect-site concentration (Ce). The CSI has been studied in dogs and showed several limitations related to the interpretation of EEG data. Nevertheless, the CSI has a lot of potential for DoA monitoring in dogs, it just needs to be adjusted for this sp...
