“You died on me”: internist narratives about the caring patients in the final h...
Carneiro, Rui; Simões, Catarina; Magalhães, Susana; Capelas, Manuel; Carneiro, AntónioBackground: In Portugal, two thirds of deaths occur in the hospital and it is estimated that these numbers will increase considerably in the coming decades.

Intoxication by this substance has been widely reported, generally associated with gastrointestinal complications, such as digestive hemorrhage, and genitourinary disorders, such as hematuria and acute kidney injury. The authors describe the c...
Film Thickness and Friction Relationship in Grease Lubricated Rough Contacts
Gonçalves, David; Vieira, António; Carneiro, António; Campos, Armando; Seabra, JorgeThe relationship between the film generation and the coefficient of friction in grease lubricated contacts was investigated. Ball-on-disc tests were performed under different operating conditions: entrainment speed, lubricant temperature and surface roughness. The tests were performed with fully formulated greases and their base oils. The greases were formulated with different thickener types and also different...
Handle assessment of tissue paper
Vasconcelos, Rosa; Carneiro, António; Lima, Mário; Silva, Luís F.; Seabra, EuricoHandle has a primary influence with nearly everything surrounding us as it gives the essential information to interact with our neighbourhood.
