Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the main causes of poisoning worldwide. Initial symptoms include headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, confusion, and visual changes. Oxygen therapy in a hyperbaric chamber can be considered in the treatment. The case of a 31-year-old female patient with no relevant medical history is presented. In less than a month, she was observed at the health primary center, with sympt...
Understanding the demography of local populations within ephemeral habitat patches is crucial for effective local (site-based) conservation management in spatially and temporally heterogeneous environments. Evidence suggests that species persisting in networks of ephemeral patches often exhibit source-sink dynamics, where certain local populations act as temporary sources at some time between initial colonizati...

Monitoring the occupancy and abundance of wildlife populations is key to evaluate their conservation status and trends. However, estimating these parameters often involves time and resource-intensive techniques, which are logistically challeng- ing or even unfeasible for rare and elusive species that occur patchily and in small numbers. Hence, surveys based on field identification of signs (e.g. faeces, footpri...

Gabinete de Investigação, Informação e Apoio ao Cuidador e Pessoa com Demência e Fragilidade (GIIAC) insere-se no Plano IADem (Plano de Investigação e Ação nas Demências) resultante do Acordo de Cooperação e Parceria entre: Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Ponte da Barca, Unidade Local de Saúde do Alto Minho, EPE – Unidade de Cuidados na Comunidade de Ponte da Barca e Centro de Investigação em Psicologia - Univers...
Mammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func tionality and resilience, and theref...

Although important to guide conservation management, detailed demographic studies on rare or elusive species inhabiting fragmented, human-dominated landscapes are often hampered by the species' low densities, and the logistic and ethical constraints in obtaining reliable information covering large areas. Genetic non-invasive sampling (gNIS) provides cost-effective access to demographic information, though its a...
