Nutritional risk assessment in hemodialysis patients: A comparative analysis of...
Aguiar, L; Martins, VS; Pinto, I; Papoila, A; Dias, C; Figueiredo, R; Pereira, J; Ramiao, I; Velez, B; Adragao, T; Borges, Nuno; Almeida, E; Garrido, JBackground and aims: Nutritional status has a great impact on the prognosis of maintenance hemodialysis patients. Therefore, its management should be a priority, and risk screening frequent and easily implemented, based on the biochemical and clinical routine parameters already available, when the use of more comprehensive tools is not possible. Many tools fit these simple criteria, namely the modified creatini...
A Hybrid Approach for the Assessment of Flood Vulnerability of Historic Constru...
Salazar, LF; Xavier Romão; Figueiredo, RFlooding is among the natural hazards that cause the most significant damage to immovable and movable cultural heritage assets worldwide. Simplified flood vulnerability assessment methodologies are practical tools that can support decision-making strategies to address potential flood damage in cultural heritage assets. However, existing flood vulnerability assessment approaches tailored for cultural heritage ar...
A Multilevel Framework for Flood Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage: A Case S...
Figueiredo, R; Xavier Romão; Paupério, ECultural heritage has unparalleled significance for the economy, society, culture, and environment. Therefore, its preservation is of utmost importance. In this context, special attention must be given to the mitigation of natural hazard risks in cultural heritage, particularly those that are exacerbated by climate-related extreme events, such as floods. The implementation of risk mitigation measures for cultur...

Exposure modelling of transmission towers using street-level imagery and a deep...
Cesarini, L; Figueiredo, R; Xavier Romão; Martina, MExposure modelling is a vital component of disaster risk assessments, providing geospatial information of assets at risk and their characteristics. Detailed information about exposure bring benefits to the spatial representation of a rapidly changing environment and allows decision makers to establish better policies aimed at reducing disaster risk. This work proposes and demonstrates a methodology aimed at lin...

Choroidal Binarization Analysis: Clinical Application
Crisóstomo, S; Cardigos, J; Hipólito Fernandes, D; Luís, ME; Figueiredo, R; Moura-Coelho, N; Cunha, JP; Abegão Pinto, L; Tavares-Ferreira, JIntroduction: Image processing of optical coherence tomography scans through binarization techniques represent a non-invasive way to separately asses and measure choroidal components, in vivo. In this review, we systematically search the scientific literature regarding binarization studies published so far. Methods: A systematic research was conducted at PubMed database, including English literature articles fo...
Neuromyelitis Optica in Portugal (NEMIPORT) - A Multicentre Study
Domingos, J; Isidoro, L; Figueiredo, R; Brum, M; Capela, C; Barros, P; Santos, E; Macário, MC; Pinto Marques, J; Pedrosa, R; Vale, J; Sá, MJBACKGROUND: Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the CNS. There have been few epidemiologic studies on NMO, none in Portugal. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical, biological and MRI characteristics from a cohort of Portuguese patients who fulfilled the Wingerchuk 2006 NMO/NMOSD criteria. To identify and characterize those who had concomitant autoimmune disease or circulating aut...
