2’ Life-changing minutes: impact evaluation of a novel health promotion format ...

Cancer is one of the most important societal challenges in the world, with over 23 million new cases/year and 10 million deaths/year, that will only be properly tackled with a stronger focus on prevention. This calls for an informed population, aware of risk factors and willing to adopt preventive behaviors and early cancer screenings. For that purpose, 2’ Life-changing minutes was created, the first ever telev...

Fatores de Risco para Alta Prorrogada por Motivos Sociais: Um Estudo Retrospectivo

Introduction: The hospital setting faces a rate of bed occupation by patients whose discharge is limited by other factors apart from clinical needs. This urges the need for an early identification of the patients at risk of delayed discharge due to social factors in order to reduce expenses and to add value that converts itself into the patient health. The aim of this study was to identify the demographic and c...

Real-world EGFR testing practices for non-small-cell lung cancer by thoracic pa...

Background: Testing for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations is an essential recommendation in guidelines for metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer, and is considered mandatory in European countries. However, in practice, challenges are often faced when carrying out routine biomarker testing, including access to testing, inadequate tissue samples and long turnaround times (TATs). Mater...

Hipoalbuminémia Reveladora: Um Caso de Enteropatia Perdedora de Proteínas Assoc...

A enteropatia perdedora de proteínas (EPP) caracteriza-se pela presença de edema generalizado e hipoalbuminemia grave, secundários à perda proteica através do trato gastrointestinal. Os autores reportam um caso de enteropatia perdedora de proteínas secundária a lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES), como a manifestação inicial desta doença. A doente relatava um quadro pautado por 4 meses de diarreia aquosa, não san...

Development and process evaluation of a new entertainment-education TV series f...

Cancer is a primary societal challenge worldwide, with over 23 million new cases/year, and 10 million deaths/year. Estimates of preventable cancer deaths rise as high as 70%, but such estimates rely heavily on individual behaviors, which in turn are correlated with knowledge and attitudes towards health and cancer. This paper describes the iterative evidence-based development of the first entertainment-educatio...

Foxm1 modulates cell non-autonomous response in zebrafish skeletal muscle homeo...

Foxm1 is a master regulator of the cell cycle, contributing to cell proliferation. Recent data have shown that this transcription factor also modulates gene networks associated with other cellular mechanisms, suggesting non-proliferative functions that remain largely unexplored. In this study, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to disrupt foxm1 in the zebrafish terminally differentiated fast-twitching muscle cells. foxm1 geno...
