Objective: Malignant melanoma (MM) is among the most lethal skin cancers, with early diagnosis being essential for timely treatment and favorable prognosis. The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic-related disruptions in global healthcare systems affected cancer screening and treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the diagnosis and prognosis of...
As a growing trend, edge computing infrastructures are starting to be integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) systems to facilitate time-critical applications. These systems often require the processing of data with limited usefulness in time, so the edge becomes vital in the development of such reactive IoT applications with real-time requirements. Although different architectural designs will always have adv...
LoRaWAN is now a leading technology in IoT developments due to its low power consumption and simple deployment features. Despite being termed a long-distance technology, its coverage is often hampered by the harsh propagation environment. In such cases, a very cost-effective solution is to use mobile gateways for both data collection and delivery at specific places of the edge, avoiding the need for cellular co...
Atopic dermatitis is a highly prevalent chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease with a significant burden on patients, families and healthcare systems. This article presents recommendations developed by the Atopic Dermatitis Group of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology addressing several clinical questions that arise in the management and care of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis...
O presente artigo descreve duas práticas pedagógicas, uma num contexto curricular realizada na Escola Superior Artística do Porto e outra num contexto extracurricular realizada na Universidade Lusófona do Porto, que visam estimular os alunos para uma análise crítica e interpretação da obra de Francis Bacon e respetiva recriação através do recurso a meios digitais contemporâneos. Esta iniciativa, integrada na ex...
The use of functional information in the form of species traits plays an important role in explaining biodiversity patterns and responses to environmental changes. Although relationships between species composition, their traits, and the environment have been extensively studied on a case-by-case basis, results are variable, and it remains unclear how generalizable these relationships are across ecosystems, tax...

Neurothekeoma is a rare benign neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis. Progresses in immunohistochemistry have brought new insights into its cellular differentiation and origin, recognizing the possibility of a fibrohystiocitic lineage. Also, it has been subclassified histopathologically as either myxoid, cellular, or mixed type, depending on the amount of myxoid matrix and on immunohistochemical analysis. Few case...
The this article aims to identify research on the process of constructing the concepts of multiplicative structures and function in teacher education, based on the use of digital technologies. For this article, we carry out a survey of works involving the study of the multiplicative conceptual field, specifically functions, from the use of digital technologies in teacher formation. We intend this survey to cont...
