Background: Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death in Portugal and globally. The present investigation created a model based on machine learning for predictive analysis of mortality in patients with AMI upon admission, using different variables to analyse their impact on predictive models. Methods: Three experiments were built for mortality in AMI in a Portuguese hospital between 2013 a...
Background: Cardiovascular diseases are still a significant cause of death and hospitalization. In 2019, circulatory diseases were responsible for 29.9% of deaths in Portugal. These diseases have a significant impact on the hospital length of stay. Length of stay predictive models is an efficient way to aid decision-making in health. This study aimed to validate a predictive model on the extended length of stay...
Tendo por base uma revisão de literatura sobre a temática, os autores discutem a utilização da Inteligência Artificial, nomeadamente dos agentes virtuais de conversação e a sua aplicabilidade tanto na prestação de cuidados de saúde como no relacionamento com os utentes, considerando ainda as potencialidades e os riscos desta tecnologia na relação profissional/utente.
O Monte do Côto de Sabroso situa-se no topo de um esporão montanhoso sobranceiro ao vale do Ave. Os primeiros estudos arqueológicos neste monte reportamse a Sarmento, que aí realiza escavações mencionando a existência de arte rupestre. No séc. XXI algumas desses afloramentos gravados foram relocalizados. São compostos principalmente por motivos inseríveis na Arte Atlântica, gravados entre o 4º e o 3º milénios a...
Biological evidence of sexual assault is one of the most difficult sample types to analyze in forensic laboratories. Y-STR markers are thus a valuable tool for analyzing these samples. The aim of this project was to compare three Y-STR commercial kits by analyzing their amplification performance on casework samples. Overall, 247 trace samples were analyzed with a Yfiler® Plus PCR Amplification Kit (Applied Bios...
