Efficacy and safety of pharmacological treatments in inclusion body myositis: a...

Objective: To identify the best evidence on the efficacy of treatment interventions for inclusion body myositis (IBM) and to describe their safety. Methods: Systematic review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of pharmacological treatments of adults with IBM, conducted according to the Cochrane Handbook, updating a previous Cochrane review. The search strategy was run on Cochrane Neuromuscular Disease Group...

Interoperabilidade BIM-FM: desenvolvimento de interface customizada para visual...

A adoção do Building Information Modelling (BIM) na fase operacional de edifícios ainda é restrita. Um dos fatores que dificultam a adoção da metodologia é a falta da implementação de capacidades BIM às plataformas de Facility Management (FM), tais como a visualização tridimensional dos edifícios a gerir. O presente artigo apresenta uma solução concebida em colaboração com a Câmara Municipal de Matosinhos, em P...

Effect of home-based exercise prehabilitation on postoperative outcomes in colo...

Purpose Home-based exercise training may improve access to surgical prehabilitation in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, but its efficacy remains unclear. This study systematically investigated the effects of home-based exercise prehabilitation on postoperative exercise capacity, complications, length of hospital stay, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in CRC patients. Methods Randomized controlled tri...

Home-Based Preoperative Exercise Training for Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing S...

Background: Clinical guidelines recommend prehabilitation with exercise training to optimize recovery after lung cancer surgery. However, the lack of access to facility-based exercise programs is a major barrier to routine participation. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a home-based exercise intervention before lung cancer resection. Methods: We conducted a prospective, two-site feasibility study, ...

Sensing and Artificial Perception for Robots in Precision Forestry: A Survey

Artificial perception for robots operating in outdoor natural environments, including forest scenarios, has been the object of a substantial amount of research for decades. Regardless, this has proven to be one of the most difficult research areas in robotics and has yet to be robustly solved. This happens namely due to difficulties in dealing with environmental conditions (trees and relief, weather conditions,...

Effect of Preoperative Home-Based Exercise Training on Quality of Life After Lu...

Background. Preoperative exercise training is recommended for improvement of clinical outcomes after lung cancer (LC) surgery. However, its efectiveness in preventing postoperative decline in quality of life (QoL) remains unknown. This study investigated the efect of preoperative home-based exercise training (PHET) on QoL after LC surgery. Methods. Patients awaiting LC resection were randomized to PHET or a con...
