COVID-19, the Reality of an Internal Medicine Ward

Introduction: The reorganization of health care imposedby the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the work capacity of all health professionals, mirroring the fundamental role of Internal Medicine. This work intended to highlight the complexity of managing the COVID-19 patient, often guided by the absence of theoretical/scientific support in the face of the unknown. Methods: A retrospective and descriptive evaluation of...

Impact of the First Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Telestroke Network Perform...

Introduction: Although scarce, regional telestroke networks have been developed worlwide in the last few decades. The COVID-19 pandemic put the healthcare system under exceptional pressure. We aimed to assess the impact of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic on the telestroke network performance in the central region of mainland Portugal. Methods: Retrospective multicenter cohort study including the eight h...

Fine-grained fish classification from small to large datasets with vision trans...

Fish species Fine-Grained Visual Classification (FGVC) is important for ecological research, environmental management, and biodiversity monitoring, as accurate fish species identification is crucial for assessing the health of marine ecosystems, monitoring changes in biodiversity, and converting conservation plans into action. Although Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)s have been the conventional approach for ...

Marine biodiversity for an inclusive society

An inclusive society actively seeks the equitable and respectful participation of all its members, regardless of their differences. This concept goes beyond tolerating diversity; it involves valuing and respecting each individual, ensuring everyone has equal access to information and opportunities, and actively participating in all aspects of life. To have a full inclusive society, we have to measure and monito...

Pneumomediastinum as a Complication of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Case Series

Introduction: Even though pneumomediastinum cases are not frequent, it has been described as a non-negligible complication in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. According to the available literature at this moment, development of pneumomediastinum in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection does not seem to be related to the classic mechanism of pulmonary barotrauma. This work aims to raise awareness of this nosolog...

Autonomous temporal pseudo-labeling for fish detection

The first major step in training an object detection model to different classes from the available datasets is the gathering of meaningful and properly annotated data. This recurring task will determine the length of any project, and, more importantly, the quality of the resulting models. This obstacle is amplified when the data available for the new classes are scarce or incompatible, as in the case of fish de...

Paragens de autocarro inteligentes e inclusivas

Apresentam-se diferentes conceitos que determinam uma paragem inteligente e inclusiva, criando-se assim uma paragem de autocarros inovadora desde à geração da sua própria energia, tornando-a autossuficiente e sustentável, à integração na rede de autocarros para comunicação da quantidade de utilizadores à espera, até à criação de um ecrã interativo que se adapta às necessidades de qualquer utilizador através de ...

Partitive mixing of colours interactive device

Rotating a disk with differently coloured sectors is a well-known means of achieving partitive mixing of colours. Most educational devices applying this technique use a single motor that spins only one disk at a time, requiring different disks to be swapped between them. This paper describes an interactive device equipped with five motors, each one holding its own disk. These motors can be switched on individua...
