A prolonged intensive care unit stay defines a worse long-term prognosis: insig...
Bento Rodrigues, Ana Rita; Oliveira, André; Vieira, Tatiana; Assis, Rui; Lume, Catarina; Pereira, João; Fernandes, Susana M.Background: Patients with critical illness often survive the intensive care unit (ICU) at a cost of prolonged length of stay (LOS) and slow recovery. This chronic critically ill disease may lead to long-term poor outcomes, especially in older or frail patients. Objectives: The main goal of this study was to address the characteristics and outcomes of patients with prolonged ICU LOS. Mainly, short- and long-term...
Critically ill patient mortality by age: long-term follow-up (CIMbA-LT)
Gonçalves-Pereira, João; Oliveira, André; Vieira, Tatiana; Rodrigues, Ana Rita; Pinto, Maria João; Pipa, Sara; Martinho, Ana; Ribeiro, SofiaBackground The past years have witnessed dramatic changes in the population admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Older and sicker patients are now commonly treated in this setting due to the newly available sophisticated life support. However, the short- and long-term benefit of this strategy is scarcely studied. Methods The Critically Ill patients’ mortality by age: Long-Term follow-up (CIMbA-LT) was a m...

Usefulness of Early C-Reactive Protein Kinetics in Response and Prognostic Asse...
Pereira, Marta Ayres; Rouxinol-Dias, Ana Lídia; Vieira, Tatiana; Paiva, José ArturIntroduction: The ideal biomarker to assess response and prognostic assessment in the infected critically ill patient is still not available. The aims of our study were to analyze the association between early C-reactive protein kinetics and duration and appropriateness of antibiotic therapy and its usefulness in predicting mortality in infected critically ill patients.Material and Methods: We have carried out ...
Citizen X: designing for holistic community engagement
Ashby, Simone; Hanna, Julian; Oakley, Ian; Vieira, Tatiana; Abreu, Filipe; Campos, PedroCrowdsourcing in urban environments, geospatial annotation, social curation, and engaging citizens through social media applications and community-aware, place-based computing systems are at the forefront of pervasive urban technologies aimed at improving satisfaction, strengthening communities, and empowering citizens as stakeholders. This paper reports on the user-centered design of a holistic community engag...
Oxidative modification of proteins induced by electrogenerated HO radicals
Vieira, Tatiana; Oliveira, Raquel Santos; Geraldo, M. Dulce; Marcos, João Carlos; Rodrigues, João; Bento, M. FátimaMost in vitro studies on the oxidative modifications associated to oxidative stress requires the in situ generation of oxygen radicals. The generation of hydroxyl radicals from the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by metal cations is widely used for this purpose. It is recognized that results obtained in this way may be influenced by non-‐specific binding between the metal and the substrate [1]. In this cont...
