Impact of high‐risk human papilloma virus genotyping in cervical disease in the...
Rosário, Andreia; Sousa, Ana Saraiva; Marinho-Dias, Joana; Medeiros, Rui; Lobo, Cláudia; Leça, Luís; Coimbra, Nuno; Tavares, Fernando; Baldaque, InêsCervical cancer prevention is based on primary prevention with vaccines againstHuman Papillomavirus (HPV) and secondary prevention by screening with High‐Risk‐HPV (Hr‐HPV) detection. Since 2017, cervical cancer screening in women aged25−60 years has been performed in Portugal using Hr‐HPV detection, followed bycytology in Hr‐HPV‐positive cases.

We aimed to characterize the vaginal microbiome in samples from 807 high-risk HPVs (Hr-HPV) positive women with a mean age of 41.45 +/- 10.79 years who participated in the Regional Cervical Cancer Screening Program from the Northern Region of Portugal. Microbiome ...

Conceptual design of a positioning system for systematic production of needle beds
Freitas, Luis; Oliveira, Rui; Malheiro, M. Teresa; Gonçalves, A. Manuela; Vicente, José; Monteiro, Paula; Ribeiro, PedroIn-Circuit-Test Machines are nowadays one of the most important systems on the productions lines in the electronic industry. Printed Circuit Board quality standards have become increasingly higher and all processes involved in its production must be checked and controlled with a high degree of reliability. One particular aspect that clearly did not follow the technological breakthroughs is the manufacturing pro...

Martins, Joana; Carvalho, Carlos; Freitas, Francisco; Monteiro, PaulaLaryngotracheobronchial papillomatosis is a rare dis- ease, with few reported cases. Histologically has been report- ed has a benign proliferation of the epithelium, limited to the larynx but it may occasionally become aggressive and result in persistent and recurrent involvement of the tracheobronchial tree, extending in more severe cases to the lungs.
Maturity model for collaborative R&D university-industry sustainable partnerships
Silva, Cláudia; Ribeiro, Pedro; Pinto, Eduardo B.; Monteiro, PaulaUniversity-Industry collaborations in R&D have grown significantly in recent years. In more developed economies, governments encourage, by finance, collaboration and the exchange of knowledge between private industry and universities. However, it is still a challenge for organizations and universities to identify the best practices adopted to establish and sustain collaboration. This has led to the growing need...
Web-GIS approach to preventive conservation of heritage buildings
Sánchez-Aparicio, Luis Javier; Masciotta, Maria Giovanna; García-Alvarez, Joaquín; Ramos, Luís F.; Oliveira, Daniel V.; Martín-Jiménez, José AntonioThe effective implementation of preventive conservation approaches demands the employment of standardized and robust tools able to integrate the data coming from multiple sources, inspection and diagnosis techniques, as well as to ensure the proper information transfer between expert and non-expert users. Aiming to make a step forward in the state of the art of current conservation approaches, a cutting edge We...
