Marques, Inês Pereira; Reste-Ferreira, Débora; Santos, Torcato; Mendes, Luís; Yamaguchi, Taffeta Ching Ning; Santos, Ana Rita; Pearce, ElizabethTo evaluate the 6-month progression of retinal capillary perfusion in eyes with advanced stages of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). Design: RICHARD (NCT05112445), 2-year prospective longitudinal study. Participants: Sixty eyes with Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) levels 43, 47, and 53 from 60 patients with type 2 diabetes. Fifty-one patients completed the 6-month evaluation. Eyes were ev...
Descoberta de conhecimento em dados de mobilidade urbana: um exemplo de intelig...
Alves, Carlos; Mendes, Luís; Costa, José; Machado, José; Machado, RicardoNos Açores, tal como em Portugal Continental, as cidades inteligentes (as conhecidas smart-cities) continuam a enfrentar enormes desafios. Estes incluem a melhoria da infraestrutura tecnológica e da sua governança, que visa aumentar o envolvimento e a inclusão dos cidadãos e das instituições. Um dos principais desafios é a promoção da mobilidade dos cidadãos para melhorar a sua qualidade de vida e fomentar o se...
Advanced introduction to urban segregation: by Sako Musterd
Mendes, LuísUrban segregation, the spatial separation or division of population categories in cities, has received ample attention from academics, politicians, policymakers, and residents ever since the concept was established.’ It is with this quote that Musterd (2023, 1) begins this book and reveals its importance for the contemporary studies debate in general, and urban studies in particular. Urban segregation is a crit...
Gentrificação turística e financeirização da habitação no centro histórico de L...
Mendes, LuísLisboa está a viver um pico de projecção internacional enquanto destino turístico, ao mesmo tempo que o seu mercado de habitação adquire formatos de activo financeiro e atrai dinâmicas globais de procura e de investimento estrangeiro. Este processo foi alavancado por programas governamentais e pela viragem neoliberal na política urbana, que fomentaram a atração de uma elite transnacional e favoreceram a finance...
Gentrification and the housing crisis from the lens of Marxist and critical urb...
Mendes, LuísThe issue of production, distribution, and access to housing is closely linked to society and economy developed under the current capitalist mode of production as a contemporary hegemonic system. And the housing crisis and the creative destruction strategies of the contemporary urban landscape (e.g., gentrification and its euphemisms of urban regeneration) are structural issues also determined by the cyclical a...
Decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors with renewable hydrogen: A real case applic...
Sousa, Jorge A. M.; Azevedo, Inês; Camus, Cristina Inês; Mendes, Luís; Viveiros, Carla; Barata, FilipeHydrogen produced from renewable energy sources is a valuable energy carrier for linking growing renewable electricity generation with the hard-to-abate sectors, such as cement, steel, glass, chemical, and ceramics industries. In this context, this paper presents a new model of hydrogen production based on solar photovoltaics and wind energy with application to a real-world ceramics factory. For this task, a no...
Patterns of progression of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy using non-inva...
Marques, Inês Pereira; Ribeiro, Maria Luísa; Santos, Torcato; Reste-Ferreira, Débora; Mendes, Luís; Martinho, António Cunha-Vaz; Santos, Ana RitaTo identify progression of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) in patients with type 2 diabetes by combining optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) metrics and color fundus photography (CFP) images. This study was a post hoc analysis of a prospective longitudinal cohort study (CORDIS, NCT03696810) with 2-year duration. This study enrolled 122 eyes. Ophthalmological examinations included OCTA a...

Santos, Ana Rita; Lopes, Marta; Santos, Torcato; Reste‑Ferreira, Débora; Marques, Inês P.; Yamaguchi, Taffeta C. N.; Miranda, Telmo; Mendes, LuísThis study aimed to evaluate intraretinal microvascular abnormalities (IRMA) in eyes with advanced nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) using multimodal approach in co-located areas focusing on central retina (up to 50°) and to look at possible correlations between IRMA and other structural changes, like ischemia and presence of microaneurysms. The RICHARD study (NCT05112445) included 60 eyes from 60 pa...

Santos, Ana Rita; Almeida, Ana Catarina; Rocha, Ana Cláudia; Reste-Ferreira, Débora; Marques, Inês Pereira; Martinho, António Cunha-Vaz; Mendes, LuísTo determine the degree of central microvascular closure using optical coherence tomography angiography in eyes of patients with type 2 diabetes with visible lesions only in the central retina or only in the periphery. Cross-sectional study. All 127 eyes underwent ultra-widefield fundus photography 200° examinations with OPTOS California (Optos, Dunfermline, United Kingdom) and Cirrus Angioplex optical coherenc...
