RSV-Bacterial Co-Infection Is Associated With Increased Illness Severity in Hos...
Torres, Ana Rita; Gaio, Vânia; Melo, Aryse; Lança, Miguel; Barreto, Marta; Lagoa Gomes, Licínia Isabel; Azevedo, Inês; Bandeira, Teresa; Lito, DavidDuring the autumn/winter respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) epidemics, bacterial co-infection is common and affects the disease severity. We aimed to understand the relationship between RSV-bacterial co-infections and clinical severity since the RSV seasonality change after COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a prospective, sentinel surveillance study at 20 sites in Portugal in children under 2 years hospitalized wi...

Nirsevimab Effectiveness Against RSV-Related Hospitalisations in Children Under...
Gaio, Vânia; Henriques, Camila; Lança, Miguel; Marques, Rita; Marques, Raquel; Rodrigues, Marta; Almeida, Sofia; Sousa, Beatriz; Freitas, MargaridaWe assessed Nirsevimab effectiveness (NE) against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-related hospitalisation in eligible children (< 2 years) using a test-negative case-control design within the VigiRSV network (weeks 43/2024 to 16/2025). Among 341 participants (median age: 2 months; 91.2% without known chronic condition), 137 (40.2%) tested RSV-positive. Adjusted NE against RSV-related hospitalisation was 78.5%...
Trabalho Remoto: um estudo exploratório sobre os impactos no capital humano, en...
Azevedo, InêsAtualmente, as organizações estão inseridas em ambientes muito voláteis e incertos, no qual as transformações globais acontecem a um ritmo muito acelerado, em consequência dos avanços tecnológicos. Estes avanços possibilitaram uma maior flexibilidade do trabalho, em termos da distribuição da carga horária e da localização geográfica, pelo que, o trabalho remoto tem ganho terreno e ocupa um lugar de destaque nas...
Decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors with renewable hydrogen: A real case applic...
Sousa, Jorge A. M.; Azevedo, Inês; Camus, Cristina Inês; Mendes, Luís; Viveiros, Carla; Barata, FilipeHydrogen produced from renewable energy sources is a valuable energy carrier for linking growing renewable electricity generation with the hard-to-abate sectors, such as cement, steel, glass, chemical, and ceramics industries. In this context, this paper presents a new model of hydrogen production based on solar photovoltaics and wind energy with application to a real-world ceramics factory. For this task, a no...
Neonatal Resuscitation Practices in Portuguese Delivery Rooms: A Cross-Sectiona...
Alves, Natacha; Rocha, Gustavo; Flor-de-Lima, Filipa; Rosário, Marta; Pissarra, Susana; Mateus, Mário; Azevedo, Inês; Soares, HenriqueIntroduction: Data from previous studies have demonstrated inconsistency between current evidence and delivery room resuscitation practices in developed countries. The primary aim of this study was to assess the quality of newborn healthcare and resuscitation practices in Portuguese delivery rooms, comparing current practices with the 2021 European Resuscitation Council guidelines. The secondary aim was to comp...

Respiratory syncytial virus under 2 years of age: hospitalization trends and ri...
Torres, Ana Rita; Melo, Aryse; Aniceto, Carlos; Guiomar, Raquel; Gaio, Vânia; Bandeira, Teresa; Azevedo, Inês; Rodrigues, Ana PaulaIntroduction and Objectives: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection is an important cause of hospitalization in children under five years. A national RSV sentinel network was set up in Portugal in April 2021. We describe the trends in RSV hospitalizations until September 2022 and identify risk factors for severe disease. Methods: Acute respiratory infections in hospitalized children under two years were re...
Lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional and innovative alheiras as poten...
Azevedo, Inês; Barbosa, Joana; Albano, Helena; Nogueira, Teresa; Teixeira, PaulaFrom a selection of seven traditional and 14 innovative alheiras, 491 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated and tested for their antimicrobial activity against several food-borne pathogens. Among these, six strains revealed antimicrobial activity through potential bacteriocin production against 14 Listeria monocytogenes strains, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Clostridium sporogenes ESB050, and Clostridium...
