Transient Ischemic Attack and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy-Related Inflammation:...

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-ri) is a rare subtype of CAA characterized by a perivascular inflammatory response to amyloid deposition in the brain. The authors detail the case of a 74-year-old man with aphasia, who was diagnosed with probable CAA-ri following brain magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment recom- mendations included a 5-day course of high-dose methylprednisolone. CAA-ri may...

Promoting sexual and reproductive health through digital tools: a literature re...

Sex education has become increasingly focused on promoting healthy sexual practices to reduce unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Traditional methods of teaching sexuality education have obvious limitations in the face of technological advances over the last decade. Therefore, harnessing the power of attractive technological applications, particularly for the younger generation, ca...

Unworthy housing in Portugal

Caracterização da pessoa que desenvolve úlcera por pressão em contexto de inter...

As Úlceras Por Pressão (UPP) representam um problema de saúde, devido à sua incidência e pela morbilidade, mortalidade e risco de infeção associados. Num plano de prevenção de UPP, é fundamental conhecer as características individuais, de forma a minimizar os fatores de risco. Objetivou-se descrever as características da pessoa que desenvolveu UPP num centro hospitalar da região de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, em 201...

Da gravidez ao Puerpério: agendar para facilitar

 Introdução: O seguimento da gravidez de baixo risco na consulta de Saúde Materna (SM) dos Cuidados de Saúde Primários (CSP), é regulado por datas-chave, definidas pela Direção Geral de Saúde e também pelos indicadores de SM da Contratualização dos CSP. Ao cumprir com as datas corretas, estamos a contribuir para aumentar o bem-estar da grávida e da criança e também para o desempenho da Unidade de Saúde Familiar...

Solving a harvest scheduling optimization problem with constraints on clearcut ...

This study aims at solving a harvesting scheduling optimization problem with constraints on the clearcut area with additional constraints on clearcut proximity. The objective function is defined as the net present value generated by harvesting discounted by a penalty for each clearcut. This problem arises to reduce the negative environmental impact of excessive harvesting. We propose the connected-bucket model,...

Modelling forest fire spread through discrete event simulation

Forest fires are becoming a more common occurrence in Portugal as well as worldwide. To extinguish or reduce them more quickly and effectively, it is crucial to understand how they spread. This paper presents a study and a model that shows how wildfires spread, assuming the forest can be represented by a graph, where the nodes correspond to forest stands and the arcs to the path between them. In order to do thi...

Preparing for birth and parentality online: a COVID-19 pandemic challenge

In March 2020, with the beginning of COVID-19 pandemics, on-site Preparation for Childbirth and Parenting (PPP) was suspended. In order to fill this need, it became imperative to carry out these courses in an online format. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes the importance of PPP programs, which uphold its principles in health promotion, empowerment, autonomy and decision-making in the health of ind...

Pain modulation from the Locus Coeruleus in a model of hydrocephalus: searching...

Pain transmission at the spinal cord is modulated by noradrenaline (NA)-mediated actions that arise from supraspinal areas. We studied the locus coeruleus (LC) to evaluate the expression of the cathecolamine-synthetizing enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and search for local oxidative stress and possible consequences in descending pain modulation in a model of hydrocephalus, a disease characterized by enlargemen...
