Recapitulating the biophysical and biochemical complexity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) remains a major challenge in tissue engineering. Hydrogels derived from decellularized ECM provide a unique opportunity to replicate the architecture and bioactivity of native ECM, however, they exhibit limited long-term stability and mechanical integrity. In turn, materials assembled through supramolecular interactions ...
Introduction: Cutaneous tuberculosis results from a chronic infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Its clinical presentation depends on various factors, such as the location of the infection and the host’s immunity state. Case description: We describe the case of a 58-year-old woman, born in Angola, who came to a primary care consultation with oedema, heat, and redness of the first finger of the hand, which w...
Enquadramento: A sustentabilidade ambiental é uma preocupação mundial, onde a saúde e especialmente o BO tem um grande impacto ambiental, com elevado consumo de recursos e produção de resíduos. Deste modo, o BO deve funcionar como motor de inspiração para novas estratégias de gestão ambiental e ser ecologicamente sustentável, baseadas na Política dos 8 R’s. Objetivo: Identificar a representação social dos enfer...
In recent years, computerized methods for analyzing respiratory function have gained increased attention within the scientific community. This study proposes a deep-learning model to estimate the dimensionless respiratory airflow using only respiratory sound without prior calibration. We developed hybrid deep learning models (CNN + LSTM) to extract features from the respiratory sound and model their temporal de...
Perturbação do Espectro da Neuropatia Auditiva (PENA) caracteriza-se pela normal função coclear e anormal função neuronal. O diagnóstico deve ser precoce, seguido da reabilitação adequada para diminuir as consequências negativas. Expor os procedimentos utilizados para o diagnóstico precoce da PENA em crianças, elaborando um protocolo, salientar a necessidade de estudos relativos à incidência da PENA e conscienc...
Background and Objective: Respiratory diseases are among the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, causing substantial strain on society and health systems. Over the last few decades, there has been increasing interest in the automatic analysis of respiratory sounds and electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Nevertheless, no publicly available databases with both respiratory sound and EI...

Ribeiro Sanches (Penamacor, 7 Março 1699 – Paris, 14 Outubro 1783) é uma das mais destacadas figuras do panorama intelectual português setecentista. É particularmente conhecido por ter servido como médico na corte russa (especialmente por ter salvado a vida da Imperatriz Catarina, a Grande), por ter inspirado reformas educativas em Portugal, por ter sido o primeiro a apresentar ao Ocidente os benefícios para a ...

On-site pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programmes are currently scarce due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Existingprogrammes faced major routine changes to ensure safety and continuity of care with unknown impacts onpatients. Thus, we explored the impact of such changes in people with chronic respiratory diseases goingthrough PR during the pandemic. A qualitative study was conducted. Semi-structured interviews were a...
