Introdução: Este trabalho consistiu na realização de uma auditoria clínica abrangente, relativamente à estrutura e processos, numa unidade privada de saúde, convencionada com o Serviço Nacional de Saúde (SNS) e ainda o estabelecimento de Níveis de Referência de Diagnóstico (NRDs) locais no contributo para a melhoria contínua da qualidade dos cuidados prestados para a população e cumprimento dos critérios legais...
O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a eficácia de um programa de reabilitação dos Músculos do Pavimento Pélvico (MPP) para superar a Incontinência Fecal (IF). Metodologia: estudo de caso com uma participante de 64 anos, professora, autónoma, com diagnóstico de IF devido a sequela de cirurgia a prolapso retal. Realizou-se um programa de Treino dos Músculos do Pavimento Pélvico (TMPP), de uma sessão/semana, durante ...
Systematic reviews, meta-analyses and bibliometric analyses of literature are scarce and poorly recognized in the social sciences. Based on examples of two research projects, we reflect on the potentialities of knowing the field in a more systematic and inclusive way, able to include thematic and methodological centers and peripheries, and protagonists and secondary actors. The procedures in the projects are pr...

Eutectic-based formulations were developed aiming to modify the shape and improve the mechanical properties of Asian hair. These formulations comprised a eutectic mixture (choline chloride and urea) as a solvent, a natural reducing agent (l-cysteine), and a decapeptide. The treatment of Asian hair with the eutectic-based formulations increased the resistance of hair to mechanical wear by about 10\\% when compar...
Introduction: Evidence supporting transmural remission (TR) as a long-term treatment target in Crohn's disease (CD) is still unavailable. Less stringent but more reachable targets such as isolated endoscopic (IER) or radiologic remission (IRR) may also be acceptable options in the long-term. Methods: Multicenter retrospective study including 404 CD patients evaluated by magnetic resonance enterography and colon...

Background: Ankle sprains are one of the most prevalent soft-tissue injuries worldwide. Physical therapy, especially progressive exercise, has proven effective in improving function, while preventing recurrence. Objective: We aim to present the results of a fully remote and digitally guided rehabilitation program for acute ankle sprains. Methods: We performed a prospective longitudinal cohort study of individua...

The methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid (IL) was successfully used for the dissolution of cotton cellulose. IL and IL-cellulose were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analyses. The obtained IL-cellulose was applied to wool and hair keratin fiber surfaces, forming a fine coating layer. From FT-IR and XRD analyses, the results suggested the reduction o...
