As pessoas com doença oncológica pulmonar submetidos a cirurgia torácica apresentam, genericamente, declínio da sua funcionalidade e capacidade respiratória. Os programas de reabilitação respiratória têm sob a pessoa alvo de cuidados, benefícios na redução de exacerbações, na recuperação ou manutenção da função pulmonar, com impacto na independência e qualidade de vida. O enfermeiro especialista de enfermagem d...
A doença renal crónica (DRC) é um importante problema de saúde pública que está associada ao aumento da morbimortalidade global e é um fator de risco significativo para a doença cardiovascular. A prevalência da DRC tem aumentado exponencialmente em todo o mundo. A sua prevalência em Portugal é de 20,9% nos estádios 1 a 5 da DRC e de 9,8% para os estádios ≥G3a/A1 da DRC, pelo que é de extrema importância que est...
Desmoid tumors are soft tissue neoplasms arising from fascial and muscle-aponeurotic structure. These tumors are locally aggressive and have a high recurrence rate, even after complete resection. We present the case of a female with a giant intrathoracic desmoid tumor. She underwent complete surgical resection with no disease recurrence. Desmoid tumors’ natural history is not well defined and is often enigmatic...
Introduction – Myopia is a common condition with onset at school age. It is a multifactorial refractive anomaly associated with excessive axial length growth. Environmental risk factors are related to near work, number of years of schooling, and reduced outdoor activity. The age of onset of myopia is a risk factor for faster progression and risk of high myopia (≤-5.00diopters, D). Aims – To study the relationsh...
Introdução – A miopia é uma condição comum que geralmente começa em idade escolar, sendo uma anomalia refrativa multifatorial associada sobretudo ao crescimento excessivo do comprimento axial do globo ocular. Os fatores de risco ambientais relacionam-se com longos períodos de realização de tarefas de perto, número de anos de escolaridade e reduzida atividade ao ar livre. A idade de início da miopia é um fator d...
Two piano-stool iron(II) complexes bearing N-heterocyclic carbene ligands outfitted with acetamide- and amine-pendant arms [Cp*Fe(NHC(R))(CO)I] {Cp* = eta(5)-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl; R = CH2CONEt2(3), (CH2)(2)NEt2(4)}, have been prepared and fully characterized. Their catalytic activity in transfer hydrogenation (TH) of ketones usingiPrOH as a hydrogen source and catalytic amounts of base (LiOtBu) has been ...
The synthesis and structural modulation of five pro-ligand salts was achieved using alternative sustainable synthetic strategies, the use of microwaves being the method of choice, with an 81% yield and an E factor of 43 for 3d. After complexation with Fe3(CO)12 by direct reaction with the appropriate pro-ligands at 130 °C, a set of iron(II) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes were isolated and fully characte...
Food fermentation under pressure has been studied in recent years as a way to produce foods with novel properties. The purpose of this work was to study kefir production under pressure (7–50 MPa) at different temperatures (17–32 °C), as a case study of unconventional food fermentation. The fermentation time to produce kefir was similar at all temperatures (17, 25, and 32 °C) up to 15 MPa, compared to atmospheri...
Introduction: most studies narrowly focus on pregnancy outcome comparisons between Wilson's disease (WD) patients on and off treatment. We aimed to identify menses irregularities in untreated WD, and to evaluate pregnancy outcomes in treated WD patients as compared to matched controls (with and without liver disease). Methods: females with WD, hepatitis C (liver disease controls), and other gastrointestinal con...
The period that followed April 25th 1974 was a time of social, demographic and cultural changes for the country and they were reflected in almost all public institutions. Many of them, founded during Estado Novo to support the policies of the regime, were extinguished, and others have seen to change their mission and goals. However, it is not always possible to speak of a total shift, and so the operational mod...
