Results of Repeat Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor After Macroscopicall...
Eliseu, Miguel; Marques, Vera; Antunes, Hugo; Lourenço, Mário; Tavares-da-Silva, Edgar; Temido, Paulo; Figueiredo, ArnaldoIntroduction: Non-muscle invasive (NMI) bladder cancers (BC) account for 75% of BC cases, and most are initially diagnosed and treated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB). After primary TURB, a repeat resection (rTURB) should be carried out in cases of incomplete resection; however, rTURB is recommended by EAU guidelines in pT1 tumors even when the completeness of the original resection is beli...
High-resolution seismocardiogram acquisition and analysis system
Leitão, Fábio André Costa; Moreira, Eurico Esteves; Alves, Filipe; Lourenço, Mário; Azevedo, Olga; Gaspar, João; Rocha, Luis A.Several devices and measurement approaches have recently been developed to perform ballistocardiogram (BCG) and seismocardiogram (SCG) measurements. The development of a wireless acquisition system (hardware and software), incorporating a novel high-resolution micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer for SCG and BCG signals acquisition and data treatment is presented in this paper. A small accelerom...
