Proposta Curricular para a Formação em Doenças Respiratórias Durante o Internat...
Neves, João; Ramalho, Ana Rita; Ascenção, Ricardo; Martins, Alfredo; Ferrão, Cláudia; Neves, Isabel; Maia, José Miguel; Meireles, MarianaIntrodução: As doenças respiratórias são uma das principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade no país e na Europa. O Programa de Formação da Especialidade de Medicina Interna contempla o domínio de conhecimentos nesta área, mas de uma forma genérica. Apresentamos uma proposta curricular para formação em doenças respiratórias na Medicina Interna em Portugal, inspirada pelas recomendações da European Respiratory ...
Unraveling the extra virgin olive oil effect on inflammation and on gut and sal...
Correia, Marta; Gomes, Ana T. P. C.; Moreira, Inês; Maghariki, Jane El; Mendes, Karina; Correia, Maria José; Barros, Rui; Barbosa, Joana CristinaExtra virgin olive oil (EVOO) with a high content of polyphenols has attracted attention due to its proved beneficial effects in decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, modulating cholesterol levels (HDL and LDL), modulating inflammatory markers, and decreasing the levels of haemoglobin1Ac, suggesting that EVOO can have an impact in glycemia regulation. This study assessed the impact of the consumption o...
Effect of earthquake-induced structural pounding on the floor accelerations and...
Folhento, Pedro; Barros, Rui; Braz-César, M.T.The influence of earthquake-induced structural pounding among buildings is paramount in the seismic analysis and design of structures. The recognition of such a phenomenon has been growing in the last decades. The search for ways to understand and mitigate the consequences of these structural collisions in building structures is the primary goal of the investigation of earthquake-induced building pounding. This...
The metabolic and analytical changes of healthy volunteers upon intake of Portu...
Correia, Marta; Moreira, Inês; El Maghariki, Jane; Manuel, Tânia; Alves, Paulo; Barros, Rui; Gomes, Ana(1) Background: Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is studied mostly for its health benefits in preventing non-communicable chronic diseases, particularly within a Mediterranean dietary pattern. However, few studies have addressed the effect of EVOO in healthy individuals, prior to an established disease. This study aims to evaluate the impact of Northern Portuguese polyphenol-rich EVOO (NPPR-EVOO) consumption on va...
Stroke-Like Migraine Attacks After Radiation Therapy (SMART): A Case Report
Cruz, Marli; Barros, Rui; Mário Roriz, José; Martins, Joana; H. Carneiro, AntónioStroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART)is an extremely rare syndrome that involves the appearance ofcomplex neurological signs and symptoms or confusional statesin patients who have undergone brain radiation years earlier.There are characteristic changes in brain magnetic resonanceimaging that normalize with the resolution of symptoms. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman with a histor...
Optimization of the cyclic In-plane response of reinforced concrete frames with...
Folhento, Pedro Leonel Pamplona; Barros, Rui; Braz-César, ManuelA typical option in building construction is the use of reinforced concrete frame structures with infill masonry walls . The presence of infill walls in frame structures greatly influences the dynamic behavior of frame structures during seismic events. This wall usually does not have a structural role, being neglected in the design phase of building structures. Innumerous negative effects may arise from the neg...
Control action of a tuned mass damper in mitigating earthquake-induced structur...
Folhento, Pedro Leonel Pamplona; Barros, Rui; Braz-César, ManuelPassive control devices are widely used in the reduction of lateral vibrations of building structures. The control of these lateral vibrations is vital in preventing collisions between adjacent building structures during a seismic event. These collisions modify the dynamic behavior of the intervenient structures and cause substantial local damage. In this way, the implementation of a Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) can...
Which type of breakfast cereals is healthier: evaluating labels in the Portugue...
Santos, Diva; Barros, Rui; Silva, José A. Lopes da; Pintado, ManuelaThe need for nutritional improvement of Breakfast Cereal Products (BCP) has been pointed out, namely regarding sugar, salt, and fat contents. Fibre has several proven health benefits but has been ignored in previous studies. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional quality of BCP in the Portuguese market, especially regarding fibre content. A total of 247BCP available in online stores of the leading retaile...
Análise paramétrica da rigidez de impacto em colisões entre sistemas estruturai...
Folhento, Pedro Leonel Pamplona; Barros, Rui; Braz-César, ManuelA ocorrência de impactos estruturais entre edifícios durante sismos de grande intensidade é muito comum em cidades, onde a construção de edifícios é realizada deixando espaço insuficiente entre as estruturas devido aos custos elevados dos terrenos de construção. Estas colisões são uma problemática relevante, que possui importância na investigação dos seus efeitos e consequências no comportamento dinâmico das es...
Optimization of raw ewes’ milk high-pressure pre-treatment for improved product...
Inácio, Rita S.; Barros, Rui; Saraiva, Jorge A.; Gomes, Ana M. P.Serra da Estrela protected designation of origin (PDO) cheese is manufactured with raw milk from Bordaleira and/or Churra Mondegueira da Serra da Estrela sheep breeds. Several socioenvironmental shortcomings have reduced production capacity; hence, treatments that may contribute to its efficient transformation into cheese are welcome. High-pressure processing (HPP) milk pre-treatment may contribute to a cheese ...
