Enhancing primary prevention: the incremental predictive value of high-sensitiv...
Andraz, S.; Pereira, J. Massa; Costa, H.; Espirito Santo, M.; Hamann, L.; Fernandes, R.; Bispo, J.; Carvalho, D.; Bento, D.; Azevedo, P.; Mimoso, J.Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a global health challenge, prompting widespread use of conventional risk assessment tools (SCORE2 in Europe and the ASCVD Risk calculator in the United States) to guide preventive strategies. Emerging evidence indicates that high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hsTn) may refine risk stratification.
Outcomes of diabetic patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with aspiri...
Costa, H.; Espirito Santo, M.; Fernandes, R.; Carvalho, D.; Bispo, J.; Guedes, J.; Azevedo, P.; Vinhas, H.; Mimoso, J.; Jesus, I.The use of aspirin in primary prevention (PP) remains a matter of international debate. In type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) patients with high/very high cardiovascular (CV) risk, low dose aspirin may be considered for PP (class IIb, evidence level A) in european guidelines in the absence of hemorrhagic contraindication.
Minimum wage and financially distressed firms: Another one bites the dust
Alexandre, F.; Bação, P.; Cerejeira, J.; Costa, H.; Portela, M.Since late 2014, Portuguese Governments adopted ambitious minimum wage policies. Using linked employer-employee data, we provide an econometric evaluation of the impact of those policies. Our estimates suggest that minimum wage increases reduced employment growth and profitability, in particular for financially distressed firms. We also conclude that minimum wage increases had a positive impact on firms’ exit, ...

Climate change vulnerability of cetaceans in Macaronesia : Insights from a trai...
Sousa, Andrielly O.; Alves, François; Arranz, Patricia; Dinis, Ana; Fernandez, Marc; González García, L.; Morales, Manuel B.; Lettrich, Matthew D.Over the last decades global warming has caused an increase in ocean temperature, acidification and oxygen loss which has led to changes in nutrient cycling and primary production affecting marine species at multiple trophic levels. While knowledge about the impacts of climate change in cetacean's species is still scarce, practitioners and policymakers need information about the species at risk to guide the imp...
Chemical characterization of Sambucus nigra L. flowers aqueous extract and its ...
Ferreira-Santos, P.; Costa, H.; Salvador, Ângelo C.; Silvestre, Armando J. D.; Santos, Sónia A. O.; Rocha, Sílvia M.; Sousa, Ana MargaridaThe main goal of this study was to chemically characterize an aqueous S. nigra flower extract and validate it as a bioactive agent. The elderflower aqueous extraction was performed at different temperatures (50, 70 and 90 °C). The extract obtained at 90 °C exhibited the highest phenolic content and antiradical activity. Therefore, this extract was analyzed by GC-MS and HPLC-MS, which allowed the identification ...

Legislação associada à gestão de águas pluviais: a necessidade de uma abordagem...
Arezes, Luís Diogo Araújo; Costa, H.; Ramísio, Paulo J.Stormwater management is directly related to sustainable development, with a clear impact on the quality of life of urban centres. While some countries have, already, become aware of its importance, producing legislation and implementing management solutions, in other regions the approach to the problem is still in a very early stage. Therefore, in this article an analysis of the legislation in force in the Uni...
Impacto das linhas de água urbanas no desenvolvimento sustentável e regeneração...
Arezes, Luís Diogo Araújo; Costa, H.; Ramísio, Paulo J.The great majority of cities and urban areas are crossed by watercourses which have an enormous importance in the life quality of populations. Their impacts can be both positive - when integrated management of the whole system is implemented - as negative ? resulting from floods and degradation of water quality. Therefore, this case study focuses on a watercourse ? located in a region in the north of Portugal ?...
