Cyberattacks on critical infrastructures: the role of Forensic Sciences in prev...

Background: Critical infrastructures (e.g., national security, energy systems, transport systems/supply chain, health, and telecommunications) (fig. 1) have been the target of constant cyber-attacks that debilitate the population's sense of security and have had profound economic, social, and public safety impacts [1,2]. Also, cyber-physical systems in smart cities face complex challenges that require robust cy...

Covered versus uncovered stents for malignant superior vena cava syndrome: a sy...

INTRODUCTION: In recent years, endovascular stenting has emerged as a promising palliative therapeutic modality for carefully selected patients with Superior Vena Cava Syndrome (SVCS) secondary to intra-thoracic malignancies. However, a lack of data hinders procedure standardization, particularly regarding the dichotomy of covered versus uncovered stents. This study aims to compare the outcomes of malignant SVC...

Splenic artery aneurysms – a systematic review of the literature

INTRODUCTION: Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are the most frequent (50 to 75%) abdominal visceral arterial aneurysms. In autopsy studies, the overall incidence is 0.01%, increasing to 10.4% with age. Due to their rarity, there is a lack of data, so we aimed to perform a systematic review of available SAA data. METHODS: A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was...

High-dependency unit care after carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic stenosis

INTRODUCTION: Asymptomatic patients benefit from 3 to 6 hours of neurological and invasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring following carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Only a minority of patients will benefit from a prolonged stay in a high-dependency unit (HDU). The aim of this study was to externally validate previously described predictive variables of postoperative need for prolonged HDU stay. METHODS: To identif...

Estrutura, “petrofabric” e paragénese do índice tungsteno-aurífero de Ruivos : ...

RESUMO: Na região de Ponte da Barca, os cruzamentos de zonas de cisalhamento multifásicas, N0°-7°E / N70°E, são o foco principal, de mineralização intra-granítica e hidrotermal de W e Au + As, especialmente quando um terceiro conjunto de rupturas (~N30°E), reticula o volume de maciço adjacente àquelas intersecções. O estudo detalhado da junção de cisalhamentos em Boivão – Ruivos mostrou que quanto mais variados...

Real World Applicability Of Voyager-Pad According To Oac3pad Score

Introduction: Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular and limb adverse events. Optimal post intervention antithrombotic strategy may significantly impact medium to long-term outcomes. The VOYAGER PAD trial showed a clinical benefit of combining low dose rivaroxaban plus aspirin by reducing cardiovascular and limb major adverse events. However, safety of t...

Ten-Year Experience of a Tertiary Center with Giant Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms:...

Introduction: The risk of rupture for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is primarily influenced by their diameter with the likelihood of rupture increasing exponentially as the aneurysm enlarges. Nowadays, giant AAAs are relatively rare in clinical practice due to earlier diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to analyze the treatment and prognosis of giant aneurysms comparing with non-giant AAAs within our ...

Effects of Strength Training on the Quality of Life of Older Adults with Sarcop...

Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to analyze the effects of strength training on the quality of life (QoL) of older adults diagnosed with sarcopenia, contributing to a better understanding of the impact of this intervention on the physical and psychological well-being of this population. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. The search was conducted on t...

The influence of treatment decision on compliance with medication for patients ...

INTRODUCTION: Treatment decision in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (ACS) is a matter of current debate with a recent shift towards isolated best medical treatment (BMT) as treatment of choice in most patients. However, poor medical compliance is one of the main constraints to the success of BMT. We hypothesized that more invasive treatment approaches can influence how patients perceive the s...
