Gómez‑del Campo, V; Arrontes, J; Cruz, T; Vázquez, E; Macho, G; Thiébaut, E; Geiger, K; Fernandes, J; Jacinto, D; Aguión, A; Silva, T; Mateus, DWe have followed the recovery of gaps produced either by harvesters or by scientists in stands of stalked barnacle (Pollicipes pollicipes) during two years in four regions of Europe (SW Portugal, Galicia and Asturias in Spain and Brittany in France; n = 423 gaps), which was extended to four years in Asturias (n = 252 gaps). The presence of adult conspecifics in the margins of the gaps increased by at least four...
Exploring Cannabidiol (CBD) and Cannabigerol (CBG) Safety Profile and Skincare ...
Luz-Veiga, M; Mendes, A; Tavares-Valente, D; Amorim, M; Conde, A; Pintado, ME; Moreira, HR; Azevedo-Silva, J; Fernandes, JCannabinoids have long been known for their bioactive properties, with their topical application as anti-inflammatory compounds being at the forefront of research for the past decade. Concurrently, the cosmetic market is a fast-growing industry in constant need of new biomolecules. In this work, we studied the safety profile for topical applications of two cannabinoids: cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) ...
Modelling Physical Fatigue Through Physiological Monitoring Within High-Risk Pr...
Bustos, D; Cardoso, F; Cardoso, R; Guedes, J. C.; José Castela Costa; Mário Vaz; João Santos Baptista; Fernandes, JPhysical fatigue is not only a tiredness condition but can also be a symptom of various diseases or a precursor of workplace accidents and incidents. High-risk professions like firefighters and military personnel are more frequently exposed to it and its consequences. To contribute to current research efforts towards physical fatigue quantification approaches for these professionals, the current work aimed to t...
Cardiopulmonary, Metabolic and Perceived Exertion Characteristics Among Portugu...
Bustos, D; Carvalho, D; Rios, M; Guedes, J. C.; José Castela Costa; Mário Vaz; João Santos Baptista; Fernandes, JBackground: Firefighting is a strenuous occupation that requires firefighters to be in excellent physical condition. However, some of these professionals are not sufficiently physically fit for duty, negatively impacting their performance.

Discrepancies among equations to estimate the glomerular filtration rate for dr...
Castel Branco, MM; Lavrador, M; Cabral, AC; Pinheiro, A; Fernandes, J; Figueiredo, IV; Fernandez Llimos, FBackgroundPatients often require adjustments to drug doses due to impaired renal function. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation using various equations can result in discrepancies, potentially leading to different dose adjustment recommendations.AimTo determine the clinical significance of discrepancies observed between different equations used to estimate GFR for drug dose adjustments in a real-world gr...

Factors Influencing Performance of Cholangioscopy-Guided Lithotripsy Including ...
Alexandrino, G; Lopes, L; Fernandes, J; Moreira, M; Araújo, T; Campos, S; Loureiro, R; Figueiredo, L; Lourenço, LC; Horta, D; Bana e Costa, T; Costa, PBackground: Peroral cholangioscopy (POC)-guided lithotripsy is an effective treatment for difficult biliary stones. A clear definition of factors associated with the efficacy of POC-guided lithotripsy in one session and the performance of electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) and laser lithotripsy (LL) have not clearly emerged. Methods: This was a non-randomized prospective multicenter study of all consecutive pat...
