Silva-Cardoso, José; Moreira, Emília; Melo, Rachel Tavares de; Moraes-Sarmento, Pedro; Cardim, Nuno; Oliveira, Mário; Gavina, Cristina; Moura, BrendaIn Portugal, a 15.2% prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was recently identified among those aged ≥50 years. HFpEF represents 90% of Portuguese heart failure patients. HFpEF management in Portugal is challenging due to patient heterogeneity, diagnostic and therapeutic complexity, and organizational constraints on the healthcare system. Considering the above, a panel of Portugues...

Silva-Cardoso, José; Moreira, Emília; Melo, Rachel Tavares de; Moraes-Sarmento, Pedro; Cardim, Nuno; Oliveira, Mário; Gavina, Cristina; Moura, BrendaHeart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects more than 50% of HF patients worldwide, and more than 70% of HF patients aged over 65. This is a complex syndrome with a clinically heterogeneous presentation and a multifactorial pathophysiology, both of which make its diagnosis and treatment challenging. A Portuguese HF expert panel convened to address HFpEF pathophysiology and therapy, as we...

Flexible, electrochemical skin-like platform for inflammatory biomarker monitoring
Lourenço, Carolina; Moreira, Felismina; Igreja, Rui; Martins, GabrielaAddressing global challenges in wound management has greatly encouraged the emergence of home diagnosis and monitoring devices. This technological shift has accelerated the development of new skin patch sensors for continuous health monitoring. A key requirement is the creation of flexible platforms capable of mimicking human skin features. Here, for the first time, an innovative, highly adaptable electrochemic...

Azul Freitas, André; Baptista, Rui; Gonçalves, Valdirene; Ferreira, Cátia; Milner, James Bastos; Lourenço, Carolina; Costa, Susana; Franco, FátimaIntroduction: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has led to significant changes in healthcare systems and its impact on the treatment of cardiovascular conditions, such as ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), is unknown in countries where the healthcare systems were not saturated, as was the case in Portugal. As such, we aimed to assess the effect on STEMI admissions and outcomes in Portuguese centers. Metho...
Project-based learning in Design and Multimedia in Higher Education: An interac...
Figueiredo, Maria Pacheco; Alves, Valter; Lourenço, Carolina; Alves, Vitória; Bernardo, Marco; Carapito, NunoIn recent years, institutions of higher education have been trying to provide students with both hard skills, namely cognitive knowledge and professional skills (Vogler et al., 2018), and soft skills, such as problem-solving and teamwork (Casner-Lotto & Barrington, 2006). An important contribution to these is providing students with opportunities to participate in real problem-solving and knowledge construction...
