Gender Dysphoria: Concepts, Diagnosis and Clinical Management
Alves Rodrigues, C; Marguilho, M; Ferreira, B; Nascimento, S; Nascimento, M; Cardoso, S; Silva, M; Pablo, AC; Soares, C; Fernandes, C; Gonçalves, MGender dysphoria is defined as a condition characterized by mental suffering associated with the incongruence between one's experienced gender and their birth-assigned sex. Gender as a construct and gender dysphoria as a condition in need of multidisciplinary intervention have developed as swiftly as their visibility in society, making it mandatory to promote the literacy and education of all healthcare profess...
Early Mobilization Decision after an Acute Ischemic Stroke: Protocol for an Umb...
Fernandes, C; Sousa, JA; Bernardo-Castro, S; Silva, F; Donato, H; Sargento-Freitas, JIntroduction: Stroke is considered one of the greatest public health challenges worldwide, with the ischemic subtype being the most prevalent. Various acute stroke clinical guidelines recommend early rehabilitation interventions, including very early mobilization. However, despite the studies conducted in recent years regarding when to initiate mobilization after an acute stroke, there are few systematic and pe...

Recomendações para o Diagnóstico e Tratamento da Infeção Não Complicada por Chl...
Andrade, P; Azevedo, J; Lisboa, C; Fernandes, C; Borrego, MJ; Borges-Costa, J; Reis, J; Santiago, F; Santos, A; Alves, JChlamydia trachomatis infection is the most prevalent sexually transmitted bacterial infection in the world. Being associated with a large number of asymptomatic carriers, the diagnosis is frequently challenging and requires appropriate laboratory testing. In Portugal, the incidence of the disease has been consistently increasing in recent years, meaning that special awareness is required for case identificatio...
The European Reference Genome Atlas: piloting a decentralised approach to equit...
Mc Cartney, Ann M.; Formenti, Giulio; Mouton, Alice; De Panis, Diego; Marins, Luísa S.; Leitão, Henrique G.; Diedericks, Genevieve; Kirangwa, JosephA genomic database of all Earth’s eukaryotic species could contribute to many scientific discoveries; however, only a tiny fraction of species have genomic information available. In 2018, scientists across the world united under the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), aiming to produce a database of high-quality reference genomes containing all ~1.5 million recognized eukaryotic species. As the European node of the ...
Strontium iron molybdenum oxide as electrocatalyst for nitrous oxide reduction ...
Holz, LIV; Loureiro, FJA; Graça, VCD; Mikhalev, SM; Fernandes, C; Adélio Mendes; Fagg, DPNitrous oxide (N2O) is an environmentally damaging gas and alternative methods for its abatement are needed. In this work, we developed an electrochemical route using the mixed ionic electronic conductor Sr2Fe15Mo05O6-delta (SFMO) as electrocatalyst for N2O reduction in the temperature range of 600-800 degrees C, at ambient pressure, for application in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs). The electrode mechanism, st...
Efficacy of Novel Quaternary Ammonium and Phosphonium Salts Differing in Cation...
Nunes, B; Cagide, F; Fernandes, C; Anabela Borges; Fernanda Borges; Simoes, M; Simões MAntibacterial resistance poses a critical public health threat, challenging the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections. The search for innovative antibacterial agents has spurred significant interest in quaternary heteronium salts (QHSs), such as quaternary ammonium and phosphonium compounds as potential candidates. In this study, a library of 49 structurally related QHSs was synthesized, varying the ...
Preoperative diagnostic criteria for scleroatrophic gallbladder: A systematic r...
Bessa-Melo, R; Fernandes, C; Aguiar, A; Lopez-Ben, S; Guimarães, L; Serralheiro, PBackground Although scleroatrophic gallbladder is a rare condition, it presents significant clinical challenges in diagnosis and management. More agreement is needed on this disorder's diagnostic criteria and optimal management approach. We will conduct a systematic review to summarise the scleroatrophic gallbladder's preoperative diagnostic criteria, including imaging modalities. Methods A systematic review wi...
Hospital Context Determinants of Variability in Healthcare-Associated Infection...
Malheiro, R; Gomes, AA; Fernandes, C; Fareleira, A; Lebre, A; Pascoalinho, D; Gonçalves-Pereira, J; Paiva, JA; Sá-Machado, RHealthcare-associated infections (HAIs) represent a major challenge in patient safety that affects services disproportionally. This paper aimed to assess how the HAI prevalence varies between hospital services and what contextual characteristics may explain such variance. A cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients in Portuguese hospitals, using data from the European point prevalence survey of HAI ...
Clinical Standards for Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of Post-COVID-19 Lun...
Visca, D; Centis, R; Pontali, E; Zampogna, E; Russell, AM; Migliori, GB; Andrejak, C; Aro, M; Bayram, H; Berkani, K; Bruchfeld, J; Chakaya, JMBACKGROUND: The aim of these clinical standards is to provide guidance on 'best practice' care for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of post-COVID-19 lung disease.METHODS: A panel of international experts representing scientific societies, associations and groups active in post-COVID-19 lung disease was identified; 45 completed a Delphi process. A 5-point Likert scale indicated level of agreement with the...
