Hipercolesterolemia familiar homozigótica em Portugal: caracterização de casos ...

Hipercolesterolemia Familiar (FH) é uma condição autossómica semidominante causada por variantes patogénicas ou provavelmente patogénicas nos genes LDLR, APOB e PCSK9. A FH pode apresentar-se na forma monoalélica (FH heterozigótica) ou bialélica (FH homozigótica). A forma homozigótica é mais rara e com fenótipo mais grave. Indivíduos com FH homozigótica geralmente apresentam hipercolesterolemia severa (LDL>400m...

Sitosterolemia In iberoamerican countries: 16 new cases and phenotype genotype ...

Background: Sitosterolemia is a rare autosomal recessive lipid disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in ABCG5 or ABCG8 genes. It is characterized by elevated plasma plant sterol concentrations, xanthomas, and an increased risk of premature cardiovascular disease. As happens with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), sitosterolemia is subdiagnosed and is frequently confounded with FH, resulting in inapp...

Demonstration of 3.5 MWth Parabolic Trough with Ternary Molten Salt at the Évor...

Commercial solar thermal parabolic trough power plants use thermal oil as a heat transfer medium in the solar field. Within the framework of the HPS2 research project, funded by the BMWK (German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action) and industry partners, the use of molten salt as heat transfer fluid (HTF) in the solar field is demonstrated, which could decrease levelized costs of electricit...

Demonstration of the SOLARSCO2OL sCO2 power cycle for future hybrid CSP-PV plan...

SOLARSCO2OL is an EU funded project that started in October 2020 with the following main objectives: to demonstrate a MW-scale recuperated supercritical CO2 (s CO2) power cycle operating from molten salts; to demonstrate a MW-scale molten salt electric heater to enable active hybridization of CSP and PV; and to investigate novel hybrid PV and CSP plants using sCO2 power blocks. The design of the key components ...

Operating Parabolic Troughs with Molten Salt: Solar field Optimisation and Tern...

Various test results from operation since October 2021 at the Évora Molten Salt Platform (EMSP) with ternary HTF-salt are discussed. A focus is on solar pre-heating of receivers, collector improvements and testing of the ternary salt for its physical properties and its chemical stability for operation up to 500 °C.

Pharmacy interventions on COVID-19 in Europe: mapping current practices and a s...

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has put community pharmacists at the frontline of prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. Pharmacies had to reorganize and implement several different interventions and measures within a very short time frame. Objectives: 1) To map the current reported practice and trends and to review the literature on pharmacy-based interventions on COVID-19 provided in Euro...

Avaliação externa de escolas do interior: perspetivas e entraves à melhoria

A Autoavaliação (AA), Avaliação Interna (AI) e Avaliação Externa (AEE), são procedimentos orientados para a análise e melhoria das práticas, em contexto escolar. Esta última assenta, em aferições de conformidade normativa das atuações pedagógicas e didáticas e de administração e gestão, bem como de eficiência e eficácia das mesmas, alinhada com orientações da UE,UNESCO e OCDE, entidades/organizações internacion...

Tourism and third sector organisations: synergies for responsible tourism devel...

The main aim of this paper is the analysis of the third sector arts, culture and local development organisations (TSO) participation in the context of tourism planning and development and to understand the characteristics of its connections to the tourism sector in the region of the Algarve. The methodological strategy is anchored in a mix-methods approach applying qualitative techniques such as semi structured...
