Brito, Fábio; Barata, Rui; Velez, Fernando J.; Reis, António D.Este documento tem como objetivo testar a efetividade prática de um circuito de condicionamento de sinal de um sensor de temperatura, nomeadamente um termopar. Antes de adquirir o sinal de um sensor para digitalização, um dos requisitos no condicionamento de sinal, consiste na implementação de um circuito de compensação de junção fria, para a obtenção mais precisa do valor de tensão obtido. O termopar permite m...
Urinary Sediment Microscopy and Correlations with Kidney Biopsy
Navarro, David; Fonseca, Nuno Moreira; Ferreira, Ana Carina; Barata, Rui; Góis, Mário; Viana, Helena; Nolasco, FernandoBACKGROUND: Urinary sediment is a noninvasive laboratory test that can be performed by an automated analyzer or manually by trained personnel. Manual examination remains the diagnostic standard because it excels at differentiating isomorphic from dysmorphic red blood cells and identifying other urinary particles such as renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs), lipids, crystals, and the composition of casts. This...
Outcomes of excessive alcohol drinkers without baseline evidence of chronic liv...
Bernardo, Sónia; Crespo, Ricardo Rios; Saraiva, Sofia; Barata, Rui; Gonçalves, Sara; Nogueira, Paulo Jorge; Cortez-Pinto, Helena; Machado, MarianaBackground: Most long-term heavy drinkers do not have clinically evident chronic liver disease (CLD).

Methods: A cohort of 123 long-term heavy drinkers without CLD were prospectively recruited in 2002 and retrospectively followed...
