Background: The omentum plays a crucial role in managing inflammation and combating infections, particularly in acute appendicitis [1]. This fat-rich fold of the peritoneum contains lymphoid structures known as “Milky Spots”, which house several types of phenotypically and functionally distinct immune cells, including macrophages and lymphocytes, that contribute to its protective function [1,2]. Among these, T ...
This talk will address the impact of digital transformation to optimise healthcare services and improve patient outcomes [1], highlighting the role of the Shared Services of the Ministry of Health (SPMS) to this field [2]. The impact of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) [3] in facilitating access to health data for a more efficient and integrated provision of healthcare services at European level, as well a...

Background: Occult hepatitis C infection (OCI) is characterized by the detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in hepatocytes and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) without detection in serum. We aimed to evaluate OCI in drug and no drug users who achieved sustained virological response (SVR) after therapy with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) and with HCV spontaneous resolution. Methods: Twenty-four...
Mammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func tionality and resilience, and theref...

Introduction: Previous studies have found an increase in the incidence rate of depression between 2007 – 2013 in Portugal, with a positive correlation with the unemployment rate, namely, in men. So, it was hypothesized that this increase is related with the situation of economic crisis. This study aimed to investigate if the correlation between unemployment rates and the incidence of depression is maintained in...
