Maintaining remission after an episode of steroid-responsive acute severe ulcer...
Bravo, C.; Gomes, C. Frias; Blesl, A.; Damasceno, J.; Drygiannakis, I.; Argyriou, K.; Festa, S.; Aratari, A.; Todeschini, A.; Jelakovic, M.The best maintenance therapy after a steroid-responsive acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) episode remains poorly studied and is not addressed in current guidelines. We aimed to compare the impact of different treatment strategies following hospitalization for steroid-responsive ASUC.
Rastreio do Cancro Colo-Retal e a perceção da literacia em saúde
Costa, A.; Torres, J.; Vieira, A. T.; Nogueira, P.; Henriques, A.Antecedentes/Objetivos: Os baixos níveis de Literacia em Saúde (LS) podem ser vistos como barreiras no processo de adesão ao Rastreio do Cancro Colo-Retal (RCCR). O RCCR está associado à redução da incidência e mortalidade pelo cancro colo-retal (CCR), estando fortemente recomendado um rastreio de base populacional. Objetivo: Caracterizar os níveis de LS relativos à prevenção da doença, de uma população numa ár...
The Usage of Data Augmentation Strategies on the Detection of Murmur Waves in a...
Torres, J.; Oliveira, J.; Gomes, Elsa FerreiraCardiac auscultation is a key screening tool used for cardiovascular evaluation. When used properly, it speeds up treatment and thus improving the patient’s life quality. However, the analysis and interpretation of the heart sound signals is subjective and dependent of the physician’s experience and domain knowledge. A computer assistant decision (CAD) system that automatically analyse heart sound signals, can ...

Morais, N.; Fonseca, J.; Rodrigues, P.; Carvalho, N.; Cordeiro, A.; Torres, J.; Vilaça, J.; Lima, E.The percutaneous access of the collecting system is one of the most challenging steps of the percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). There are some limitations associated with the classical puncture guidance systems based on ultrasound or fluoroscopy. The objective of this study was to describe a new ureteroscopy-assisted guidance technique for the kidney percutaneous access during PCNL and the associated prelimin...

Predictors of red fox (Vulpes vulpes) helminth parasite diversity in the provin...
Barbosa, A. Márcia; Segovia, J. M.; Vargas, J. M.; Torres, J.; Real, R.; Miquel, J.We analysed the viscera of 321 red foxes collected over the last 30 years in 34 of the 47 provinces of peninsular Spain, and identified their helminth parasites. We measured parasite diversity in each sampled province using four diversity indices: Species richness, Marg a l e f’s species richness index, Shannon’s species diversity index, and inverse Simpson’s index. In order to find geographical, environmental,...
Estructura de Gestión Universitaria: una mirada empírica en la Universidad Naci...
Torres, J.; POMA, V.; ALMADA, S.; Liksenberg, D.; PIERRE, J.Se ha generalizado la idea de que el cambio permite la supervivencia de la organización, que de otra manera se vería amenazada, desencadenado una era de transformación organizacional. Conformada la necesidad de la adaptación, resulta inminente definir los requerimientos que guiarán el cambio. En este trabajo, se aborda la discusión sobre un cambio del tipo no estructural en el marco de la Universidad Nacional d...
Enhanced interpretation of newborn screening results without analyte cutoff values
Marquardt, G.; Currier, R.; McHugh, D.M.; Gavrilov, D.; Magera, M.J.; Matern, D.; Oglesbee, D.; Raymond, K.; Rinaldo, P.; Smith, E.H.; Tortorelli, S.PURPOSE: To improve quality of newborn screening by tandem mass spectrometry with a novel approach made possible by the collaboration of 154 laboratories in 49 countries. METHODS: A database of 767,464 results from 12,721 cases affected with 60 conditions was used to build multivariate pattern recognition software that generates tools integrating multiple clinically significant results into a single score. This...
Hidropisia Fetal Patologia do Passado, Presente e… Futuro? Estudo Retrospectivo
Cálix, M.J.; Neves, J.; Pinto, R.; João, A.; Torres, J.; Mateus, M.; Gomes, A.RESUMO Introdução: A hidropisia fetal define-se por uma acumulação anormal de fluído intersticial no feto. Descrita inicialmente como uma entidade patológica única, Ballantyne em 1892 levantou a hipótese de representar um estado final comum a uma variedade de processos patológicos diferentes. Potter distingue 2 tipos: imune (mais frequente na era prévia à utilização da RhoGAM) e não imune (implicada actualmente...
Toxic Element Concentrations in the Razorbill Alca torda (Charadriiformes, Alci...
Ribeiro, A. R.; Eira, C.; Torres, J.; Mendes, P.; Miquel, J.; Soares, A. M. V. M.; Vingada, J.The present study provides the first data on inorganic element levels (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Pb, Se, and Zn) in juvenile, immature, and adult razorbills (Alca torda) collected along the central coast of Portugal. Element concentrations were assessed by ICP-MS in kidney, liver, muscle, and feathers of 28 razorbills, including 4 juveniles, 17 subadults, and 7 adults. The effect of age and tissue on element ...
