This paper examines this reliance through a social-cognitive approach, focusing on players’ beliefs about how they use feelings, thoughts, or a simple assessment of the situation when making decisions. In Study 1, we first asked athletes about how they define “actions” and “changes of action” in a sports context and then inq...

Dual Retinitis with Cytomegalovirus and Herpes Simplex in a Paediatric Patient ...

Herpesvirus retinitis is a serious infection of the retina typically found in immunosuppressed patients. We report the case of a 4-year-old boy with a history of enucleation of the left eye for intraocular advanced retinoblastoma, at time under systemic adjuvant chemotherapy, observed under anaesthesia for periodic disease follow-up. Right eye fundus evaluation showed multiple areas of focal haemorrhagic retini...

Demographic Characterization of Uveal Melanoma Population in Portugal

INTRODUCTION: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common intraocular tumor and although rare, remains a clinical challenge for ocular oncologists. Therapeutic options have evolved throughout the years, focusing in eye-conserving modalities. However, long-term survival remains unchanged. Advances in early diagnosis and treatment represent a step forward in improving patients’ outcomes and survival. The purpose of th...

An Atypical Presentation of Optic Disc Melanocytoma: A Case Report

Incidence and Predictors of Radiation Retinopathy after I125 Plaque Brachythera...

INTRODUCTION: Plaque brachytherapy is an established modality for the treatment of eligible choroidal melanomas. Radiation retinopathy (RR) is a known complication of brachy- therapy, responsible in part for the loss of vision after treatment. We aim to present the first report on the incidence and the predictors of radiation retinopathy after the treatment of choroidal mela- nomas in the Portuguese Ocular Onco...

Design and development of a web-based prospective nationwide registry for ocula...

Uveitis is a heterogeneous collection of infrequent diseases, which poses significant challenges to cost-effective research in the field. Medical registries are being increasingly recognized as crucial tools to provide high-quality data, thus enabling prospective clinical research. This paper describes the design and technical structure development of an innovative countrywide electronic medical record for uvei...

La autorregulación puede contribuir al aprendizaje de las matemáticas en conjunción con otras áreas, en las que el fomento del pensamiento computacional desempeña un papel clave en la resolución de problemas reales y actuales de la sociedad....

Circulating tumor DNA tracking through driver mutations as a liquid biopsy-base...

Background: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common intraocular tumor in adults. Despite good primary tumor control, up to 50% of patients develop metastasis, which is lethal. UM often presents asymptomatically and is usually diagnosed by clinical examination and imaging, making it one of the few cancer types diagnosed without a biopsy. Hence, alternative diagnostic tools are needed. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA...
