Evaluation of Long-Term Sexual Satisfaction in Women Submitted to Laparoscopic ...
Da Silva Medeiros, Mariana; Ferronha, Frederico; Gomes , Alexia; Andrade , Vanessa; Guerra , João; Cunha, João; Gil , Miguel; Silva, PedroIntroduction: Traditional treatments for apical compartment prolapse and multicompartment prolapse, such as open sacrocolpopexy, have been associated with concerns regarding sexual function. In recent years, laparoscopic or robotically assisted sacrocolpopexy has emerged as an alternative with potential benefits, including enhanced visualization, symptom relief, and comparable anatomical results. However, the i...
Renal Trauma: A 5-Year Retrospective Review from a Level 1 Trauma Center
Andrade, Vanessa; Medeiros, Mariana; Guerra, João; Gil, Miguel; Veloso, Nguete; Cunha, João; Silva, Pedro; Brito Lança, Miguel; Calais, FernandoIntroduction: Renal trauma accounts for about 1% to 5% of all trauma patients, the majority of which are due to blunt trauma. Based on the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) classification we can classify renal trauma into five grades of injury, which can help choosing the adequate treatment and anticipate the outcome. Management of renal trauma is evolving to a more conservative approach, av...
Epidemiological and clinical aspects of Cutaneous and Mucosal Leishmaniases in ...
Rocha, Rafael; Conceição, Cláudia; Gonçalves, Luzia; Carvalho, Ana Cláudia; Maia, André; Martins, André; Carujo, António; Maio, António; Forra, CatarinaLeishmania infantum, a zoonotic vector-born parasite, is endemic in the Mediterranean region, presenting mostly as visceral (VL), but also as cutaneous (CL) and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML). This study aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the CL and ML cases diagnosed in mainland Portugal between 2010 and 2020. Collaboration was requested from every hospital of the Portuguese National Hea...
Upgrading a legacy manufacturing cell to IoT
Cunha, João; Batista, Nelson; Cardeira, Carlos; Melício, RuiMany industries, like aeronauting construction are still equipped with legacy machines and are not keen to change old, however fully functional, equipment to new ones. Hence, an upgrade must be found to cope the legacy and fully functional machines to IOT technologies. This paper is a contribution to embrace those challenges in a new IoT architecture able to support the creation of solutions for Smart Industrie...
Human–robot interaction in industrial settings: perception of multiple particip...
Alves, Carla; Cardoso, André; Colim, Ana; Bicho, Estela; Braga, A. C.; Cunha, João; Faria, Carlos; Rocha, Luís A.In environments shared with humans, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) should be designed with human-aware motion-planning skills. Even when AMRs can effectively avoid humans, only a handful of studies have evaluated the human perception of mobile robots. To establish appropriate non-verbal communication, robot movement should be legible and should consider the human element. In this paper, a study that evaluates ...
Physical ergonomic improvement and safe design of an assembly workstation throu...
Colim, Ana; Faria, Carlos; Cunha, João; Oliveira, João; Sousa, Nuno Miguel Alves; Rocha, Luís A.One of the key interesting features of collaborative robotic applications is the potential to lighten the worker workload and potentiate better working conditions. Moreover, developing robotics applications that meets ergonomic criteria is not always a straightforward endeavor. We propose a framework to guide the safe design and conceptualization of ergonomic-driven collaborative robotics workstations. A multi-...
Wireless networks for traffic light control on urban and aerotropolis roads
Cunha, João; Batista, Nelson; Cardeira, Carlos; Melício, RuiThis paper presents a traffic lights system based on wireless communication, providing a support infrastructure for intelligent control in smart cities and aerotropolis scope. An aerotropolis is a metropolitan subregion which infrastructure is centered around an airport [1]. Traffic intensity is increasing all over the world. Intelligent dynamic traffic lights system control are sought for replacing classic con...
Síndrome de Hamman: Um Diagnóstico Diferencial de Dor Torácica
Montezinho, Sara; Cunha, João; Sarmento, GonçaloO pneumomediastino espontâneo (também designado de síndrome de Hamman), é uma entidade rara, que resulta da rotura espontânea de alvéolos devido a um aumento rápido da pressão intratorácica. Pode ocorrer também na ausência de uma causa clara de aumento da pressão intratorácica, como tosse, exercício intenso ou vómito.; O pneumomediastino espontâneo (também designado de síndrome de Hamman), é uma entidade rara, ...
Safety requirements for the design of collaborative robotic workstations in eur...
Faria, Carlos; Colim, Ana S.; Cunha, João; Oliveira, João; Costa, Nélson Bruno Martins Marques da; Carneiro, P.; Monteiro, Sérgio; Bicho, EstelaIndustrial manufacturing is moving towards flexible and intelligent processes. Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) has a pivotal role in smart factories due to a more versatile resource allocation that ultimately drives higher productivity and efficiency. The physical barriers that separate robots’ and humans’ workspaces are removed to facilitate HRC, which raises new safety concerns. To cope with this new robotics...
Radiological Protection in Containing Patient-Generated Aerosols in Endovascula...
Fernandes, Cátia; Cunha, JoãoIn the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a need to promote the containment of aerosols generated by the user of Green Way Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA), subject to cerebral endovascular therapy. In this way, an acrylic support for the suspension of plastic containing aerosols was used. In this context, it´s intended to contribute to the safety of health professionals, ensuring the optimization of t...
