Sudden cardiac death in athletes: A 20-year analysis in Portugal
Gonçalves, Carolina Miguel; Vazão, Adriana; Carvalho, Mariana; Cabral, Margarida; Martins, André; Martins, Hélia; Saraiva, Fátima; Morais, JoãoIntroduction and objectives Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in athletes is a tragic event, with some evidence remaining controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate cases of SCD in athletes in Portugal within the last 20 years. Methods An advanced Google search using a combination of several keywords and systematic searches on websites of national newspapers/television stations was conducted. Additionally, 5...
P2Y12 Inhibitor Pretreatment in Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrom...
Vazão, Adriana; Gonçalves, Carolina; Martins, André; Carvalho, Mariana; Cabral, Margarida; Santos, Luís; Pernencar, Sidarth; Carvalho, JoãoBackground/Objectives: Current guidelines do not specifically address the use of P2Y12 inhibitor (P2Y12i) pretreatment in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) who are expected to undergo a late invasive strategy. Nevertheless, such pretreatment may be considered in patients without a high bleeding risk (Class of Recommendation, IIb; Level of Evidence, C). Despite this ambigu...
Sex-related differences in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: A Portug...
Gonçalves, Carolina Miguel; Carvalho, Mariana; Vazão, Adriana; Cabral, Margarida; Martins, André; Saraiva, Fátima; Morais, JoãoIntroduction and objectives Sex differences among patients with acute myocardial infarctions remain a matter of debate. Inequalities in presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis are frequently observed, contributing to a worse prognosis in women. The aim of this study was to investigate sex-related differences in Portuguese ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Methods The authors...
Are heterogeinity and conflicting preferences no longer a problem? Personality-...
Alves, Patrícia; Martins, André; Negrão, Francisco; Novais, Paulo; Almeida, Ana; Marreiros, GoretiThe complexity associated with groups of tourists led to the emergence of Group Recommender Systems (GRS) for tourism. But if generating recommendations for small groups is a complex task, to provide them to large and occasional groups is even more. This complexity is especially due to the group's heterogeinity, conflicting preferences, the information overload found on the internet and the tourists’ different ...
Flexible Manufacturing Systems Through the Integration of Asset Administration ...
Martins, André; Costelha, Hugo; Neves, Carlos; Cosgrove, John; Lyons, JohnThe advent of Industry 4.0 has created a need for more flexible and adaptable manufacturing systems. This paper proposes the integration of AAS (Asset Administration Shells), SBM (Skill-based manufacturing) and OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture), to enable more flexible manufacturing systems. The integration of these concepts provides a solution for achieving faster and easier dynamic re...
Epidemiological and clinical aspects of Cutaneous and Mucosal Leishmaniases in ...
Rocha, Rafael; Conceição, Cláudia; Gonçalves, Luzia; Carvalho, Ana Cláudia; Maia, André; Martins, André; Carujo, António; Maio, António; Forra, CatarinaLeishmania infantum, a zoonotic vector-born parasite, is endemic in the Mediterranean region, presenting mostly as visceral (VL), but also as cutaneous (CL) and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML). This study aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the CL and ML cases diagnosed in mainland Portugal between 2010 and 2020. Collaboration was requested from every hospital of the Portuguese National Hea...
Assessing the vaccine effectiveness of seasonal Influenza vaccines: a systemati...
Martins, André; Santos, Marlene; Martins, JoãoIntroduction: Influenza is a respiratory disease caused by the highly transmissible influenza virus in humans [1]. Vaccination is a crucial strategy for preventing influenza and its associated complications [2,3]. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of seasonal influenza vaccines (SIVs) in individuals aged 15 to 64 years through a systematic review and meta-an...
NETEDGE MEP: a CNF-based multi-access edge computing platform
Ferreira, Vinicius Corrêa; Bastos, João; Martins, André; Araújo, Paulo Jorge Nicolau; Lori, Nicolas Francisco; Faria, João; Costa, AntónioMulti-access Edge Computing (MEC) is an active topic of research and standardization, with both the industry and academia actively planning to develop proofs-of-concept (PoCs). Implementing a standards-based MEC infrastructure is expensive and time-consuming, leading to the use of partial implementations or simulation. This paper proposes NETEDGE MEP, an open-source MEC Platform (MEP) based on cloud-native tech...
PerfEnerPy - Uma ferramenta para a avaliação da performance e eficiência energé...
Martins, André; Vilaça, Ricardo Manuel Pereira[Excerto] Dataframes [7] são estruturas de dados, frequentemente utilizadas em linguagens de scripting, como o Python, que implementam algoritmos para análise de dados e que são capazes de representar princípios de álgebra relacional e linear. As dataframes tornaram-se uma estrutura de dados de eleição para a análise de dados, sendo o pandas [5] a ferramenta mais utilizada a nível global. [...]
Improving group recommendations using personality, dynamic clustering and Multi...
Alves, Patrícia; Martins, André; Novais, Paulo; Marreiros, GoretiThe complexity associated to group recommendations needs strategies to mitigate several problems, such as the group's heterogeinity and conflicting preferences, the emotional contagion phenomenon, the cold-start problem, and the group members' needs and concerns while providing recommendations that satisfy all members at once. In this demonstration, we show how we implemented a Multi-Agent Microservice to model...
