Depression in cancer survivors: the role of companion animal
Mota, Maria Paula; Freitas Martins, Catarina; Pinto Soares, Jorge; Azevedo, Luís; Monteiro, Graça; Abrantes, Catarina; Mota, Maria da GraçaIt has been suggested that living with a pet reduces psychological stress, isolation, and loneliness while increasing social support and communication (Martins et al., 2023). Regarding cancer survivors, depression is one of the most common psychiatric diagnoses, so it may be hypothesised that these patients can benefit from a pet company. Nevertheless, an issue that should be considered in this human-animal bon...
Frontotemporal Dementia and Mania: The Difficulties of the Differential Diagnosis
Jesus, Mariana; Martins, Vera; Faria, IsabelaThe clinical presentation of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can prompt an erroneous diagnosis of mania. With this in mind, and starting from a case report, the authors aim to describe the diagnostic difficulties between these two entities. A 54-year-old male was admitted with euphoric mood, hyperfamiliarity, sexual disinhibition, aggressive behaviours and persecutory delusions. A similar clinical presentation ha...
Adaptation and preliminary validation of the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Ratin...
Guiomar, Raquel; Samarra, Sara; Rodrigues, Mariana; Martins, Andreia; Martins, Vera; Jesus, Mariana; Fernandes, Filipe; Alves, Inês; Silva, TâniaThe Montgomery-angstrom sberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is considered one of the gold-standard measures to assess depression severity. To standardise the MADRS administration, a structured interview was developed (SIGMA). This study aims to translate and validate the SIGMA for European Portuguese. Twenty patients (80% women) were interviewed by ten dyads of raters (trained clinical psychologists and psych...
As lutas e desafios das mulheres e crianças afegãs
Jesus, MarianaAO FIM DE VINTE LONGOS ANOS, O MUNDO ASSISTIU AO FIMda Guerra do Afeganistão, que se iniciara em 2001. A 15 de agosto de 2021, o primeiro-ministro afegão, Ashraf Ghani, renunciou ao cargo e anunciou a tomada de posse dos Talibãs, que desde então controlam o governo do país. A Guerra do Afeganistão acabou oficialmente a 30 de agosto de 2021, quando o último avião americano abandonou o Afeganistão. Contudo a situ...
Accuracy of models of confined concrete in rectangular columns using different ...
Jesus, Mariana; Lobo, Paulo SilvaConfinement with externally applied fiber reinforced polymers (FRP), such as carbon, glass and aramid-based composites, results in notorious improvement of ductility and strength. Several constitutive models, regarding stress–strain relationship, have been proposed. However, few models exist for square and rectangular columns confined with FRP when compared with the number of models for circular concrete column...

Lobo, Paulo Silva; Jesus, MarianaConfinement of concrete columns with fiber reinforced polymers results in an increase of strength and ductility. For this reason, the use of aramid, carbon and glass-based composites for confinement of reinforced concrete columns has significantly increased over the last decades. Nevertheless, few models adequately predict the failure strain of the fiber reinforced polymer, which has a determinant influence on ...
