A doença renal crónica representa um problema de saúde pública significativo, afetando cerca de 9,8% da população adulta em Portugal. Pese embora este número, o diagnóstico precoce desta doença nos grupos de alto risco é reduzido. Apesar de serem apenas dois os parâmetros cruciais para o seu diagnóstico – a taxa de filtração glomerular estimada (TFGe) e a albuminúria – em Portugal, mais de 50% dos doentes em es...

While patient awareness of CKD remains low, we studied the physicians’ awareness and how globally it can be improved. We aimed to evaluate the awareness and consensus of physicians on the screening, diagnosis and clinical management of CKD, thus identifying which areas should be the subject of educational or research pr...
Honey bee colonies have great societal and economic importance. The main challenge that beekeepers face is keeping bee colonies healthy under ever-changing environmental conditions. In the past two decades, beekeepers that manage colonies of Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) have become increasingly concerned by the presence of parasites and pathogens affecting the bees, the reduction in pollen and nectar ava...
Honey bees are key insect pollinators, providing important economic and ecological value for human beings and ecosystems. This has triggered the development of several monitoring methods for assessing the temporal development of colony size, food storage, brood and pathogens. Nonetheless, most of these methods are based on visual assessments that are observer-dependent and prone to bias. Furthermore, the impact...
