This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/); Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation represents a safe and effective procedure to restore sinus rhythm. The idea that post-procedural AF episodes - during the blanking period - are not considered treatment failure has been increasingly challe...

Iliopsoas Grade 2 Myotendinous Junction Injury in an Elite Football Player: Ret...

Groin pain is a common injury in professional footbal and widely acknowledged as a complex medical issue. Iliopsoas pathology stands as the second‐most common cause of athletic groin injury, yet iliopsoas traumatic muscle injuries are infrequent and inadequately documented in the literature. This case report outlines a grade 2 myotendinous junction injury of the iliopsoas in a football player competing in the P...

The Role of Design and Digital Media in Monitoring and Improving the Performanc...

This paper aims to demonstrate how design and digital media can have a relevant contribution to the improvement of Taekwondo athletes’ performance. This study focuses on answering the existing gap of a solution that allows quick and accurate access to data about the performance of martial arts athletes. This access to complex information, previously inaccessible or indecipherable to athletes and coaches, allowe...

Composing worlds: a Portuguese transdisciplinary network in humanities, health ...

The project “Composing worlds: humanities, health and well-being in the 21st century” aims to build a network of experts in the humanities, social and health sciences, who think about health and well-being in contemporary technological societies. The relevance of this project is based on the growing evidence that most of the problems that the 21st century will face, particularly in the area of health and well-b...

Thinking beyond borders: how can humanities and social sciences help to deal wi...

Climate Change (CC) is the most noticeable evidence of the “Metamorphosis of the World” and it is changing regimes. The unpredictability of climate phenomena and their multidimensional impacts on human and environmental health has contributed to making our understanding of the world increasingly difficult. Furthermore, history proved that technoscience alone is not enough to deal with these issues. CC, diseases...

The endorheic – Exorheic transition and later stage of fluvial incision in a we...

Present-day endorheic drainage systems are rare in tropical humid regions and/or close to the coast. During the late Cenozoic, under a humid tropical climate, the Paraíba do Sul River basin (SE Brazil) has developed along the South America passive margin. This basin currently drains into the South Atlantic Ocean, but it preserves landforms that are indicative of previous endorheic paleodrainage. This study exam...

Iberia: insights from the Lower Mondego River terraces (central Portugal)

The Lower Mondego Valley (LMV), located in the Western Iberian passive margin which is under compressive tectonic reactivation since ca. 80 Ma, is used for deciphering long-term landscape evolution during the Quaternary and the control played by active tectonics, eustasy and climate. The elaboration of a detailed geomorphological map allowed the establishment of the spatial and temporal distribution of the diff...

Patterns and controls on fluvial incision in the lower Douro River (Western Ibe...

The Douro River, is ~900 km long and has a drainage basin of ~97,600 km2, crossing most of the Iberian Peninsula from east to west. The evolution of the Douro system documents an outstanding example of a continental-scale drainage reorganization, reflecting a transition from endorheic to exorheic conditions. By the middle Cretaceous, the passive Western Iberian Margin was tectonically reactivated by an increasi...
