Economic Impact of Surveillance of Head Trauma Patients with Coagulopathy and N...
Ribeiro da Costa, Tiago; Batata, Rodrigo; Oliveira, Susana; Fernandes, Armindo; Sousa, Sérgio; Vaz Silva, Filipe; Sá Pinto, Vasco; Tizziani, MárciaIntroduction: According to the Portuguese clinical guidelines published in 1999, patients with traumatic brain injury and coagulopathies should remain in-hospital for 24 hours for clinical and image surveillance, despite having an admission computed tomography (CT) scan showing no intracranial lesions. Growing evidence suggests this practice is not only void of clinical relevance, but that it can also be potent...
Optimization with fire spread simulation for forest management
Alvelos, Filipe Pereira e; Martins, Isabel; Marques, Susete; Dias, Mariana; Cunha, Eduardo; Neto, DavidWe propose a method for forest management in which wildfire is modeled explicitly through the integration of optimisation and simulation. Given a forest, the decision problem is to select a plan (i.e. a prescription and a periodicity for brush cleaning) for each of its stands. Each plan is associated with values for a set of criteria for each period of the temporal horizon. Considered criteria are net present v...

Duarte-Batista, Pedro; Farinha, Nuno Cubas; Marques, Renata; Pinheiro, João Páscoa; Silva, João; Tuna, Rui; Reis, José Hipólito; Antunes, CristianoIntroduction: Our national protocol for traumatic brain injury dictates that hypocoagulated patients with mild trauma and initial tomography scan with no intracranial traumatic changes must be hospitalized for 24 hours and do a post-surveillance tomography scan. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical relevance of these measures.Material and Methods: A prospective observational study was undert...
