COVID-19 and Pregnancy. When are complications expected?
Gonçalves,Daniela Reis; Andrade,Ana; Dias,Joana; Moreira,Marta; Braga,António; Ferreira,Luísa; Braga,JorgeAbstract Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) is a RNA virus that cause coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The clinical spectrum SARS-COV-2 infection ranges from asymptomatic infection to critical and fatal illness. The expression of host receptor for SARS-CoV-2 cell entry in placental tissue and the identification of SARS-COV-2 in the placental tissue supports that SARS-...
Identification of clusters of asthma control: A preliminary analysis of the Ins...
Jácome,Cristina; Amaral,Rita; Almeida,Rute; Pereira,Ana Margarida; Couto,Mariana; Araújo,Luís; Alves-Correia,Magna; Pereira,MarianaAims: To identify distinct asthma control clusters based on Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT) and to compare patients characteristics among these clusters. Methods: Adults and adolescents (≥13 years) with persistent asthma were recruited at 29 Portuguese hospital outpatient clinics, in the context of two observational studies of the INSPIRERS project. Demographic and clinical characteristics...
Ultrasound guided airway access
Lages,Neusa; Vieira,Diana; Dias,Joana; Antunes,Cláudia; Jesus,Tiago; Santos,Telmo; Correia,CarlosAbstract Ultrasound has increasingly growing applications in anesthesia. This procedure has proven to be a novel, non-invasive and simple technique for the upper airway management, proving to be a useful tool, not only in the operating room but also in the intensive care unit and emergency department. Indeed, over the years mounting evidence has showed an increasing role of ultrasound in airway management. In t...

Dynamic Location Problems with Discrete Expansion and Reduction Sizes of Availa...
Dias,Joana; Captivo,M. Eugénia; Clímaco,JoãoIn this paper a dynamic location problem is formulated that considers the possibility of expanding or reducing the maximum available capacity at any given location during the planning horizon. The expansion (or reduction) of available capacity at a given location is achieved through the opening (or closure) of one or more facilities with different discrete capacities. The mixed-integer linear model developed co...
