Positional and non-positional OSAS: differences in VOTE classification

Objective: To assess changes in the upper airway in patients with Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea (SAOS-P) and Non-Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea (SAOS-NP). Study Design: Retrospective Study. Materials and Methods: Evaluation of DISE in patients followed in the Snoring Consultation, undergoing the procedure between 2022 and 2024, using the VOTE classification. SAOS-P was defined as a ≥ 50% reduction in t...

Factors associated with multilevel collapse in DISE in patients with OSA

Objective: To identify factors associated with multilevel collapse during Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSAHS). Materials and Methods: Retrospective study of OSAHS patients who underwent DISE, using the VOTE classification. Multilevel collapse was defined as grade 2 obstruction in at least two levels. Sociodemographic, clinical, and anatomical variables were analy...

Atividade física e saúde em crianças dos 3 aos 5 anos

Vários estudos têm sido realizados no sentido de perceber quais os hábitos das crianças no que diz respeito à prática de atividade física (AF), ao comportamento sedentário (CS), e ao tempo de sono (HSono). O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar os hábitos de atividade física programada, comportamento sedentário e tempo de sono de crianças dos 3 aos 5 anos da cidade de Beja, Portugal. Estudo exploratório, com ...

Correlation of otosclerosis grading on computed tomography with stapes surgery ...

Objectives: To investigate whether computed tomography (CT) findings in patients with otosclerosis influence the audiometric prognosis after stapedial surgery. Study design: Retrospective. Material and methods: Patients undergoing stapes surgery, who had undergone prior ear CT and pre- and postoperative pure-tone audiometry (PTA), were included. The degree of otosclerosis on CT was classified according to the S...

Cu(In,Ga)Se$$_2$$-based solar cells for space applications: Proton irradiation ...

In this work, we present an experimental study of a Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS)-based solar cell (SC), irradiated with protons of energy 80 and 180 keV and with fuences of 1012 , 1013 , and 1014 cm−2 , as well as a strategy to recover the induced damage. The possible modifcations of the structural, electrical, and optical properties, induced by the proton irradiation, were investigated. Although the irradiation did not...

Benefits of University-Industry R&D collaborations: a systematic literature review

University-Industry R&D collaboration (UIC) project is a temporary organization with a collaborative work environment, with heterogeneous partners who have collective responsibilities, and seek to grant benefits to their different stakeholders. This paper aims to gather and bring understanding into what these benefits are, and, through a systematic literature review (SLR) develops a catalog of these benefits in...

A qualidade do serviço em ginásios: Uma revisão sistemática

Fifty Years of Prolog and Beyond

Both logic programming in general and Prolog in particular have a long and fascinating history, intermingled with that of many disciplines they inherited from or catalyzed. A large body of research has been gathered over the last 50 years, supported by many Prolog implementations. Many implementations are still actively developed, while new ones keep appearing. Often, the features added by different systems wer...

Effects of a modified backpack model on ground reaction forces in children of d...

Backpacks are widely used by children to carry different objects and the literature supports that most backpacks contain excessive weight. To minimize the loading effects (i.e., ground reaction force), modified backpacks have been tested. However, the effects of elastics on shoulders straps are yet to be studied. Thus, the aim of this study was to test and compare the effect on the vertical ground reaction forc...
