Pseudophakic macular edema: Review and new insights on treatment and prophylaxis
Campos, António; Mota, Carolina; Cruz, Henrique; Sousa, João PauloPseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) is a common complication of cataract surgery that may rarely result in vision loss. In most cases PCME resolves spontaneously, which makes it challenging to establish the efficacy of therapeutic and prophylactic interventions. Although no consensus exists regarding management or prevention, most surgeons advocate prophylaxis primarily for high-risk eyes. Nevertheless, t...
The unseen ingredients: a systematic review of the prevalence of microplastics ...
Mota, Carolina; Martins, Zita E.; Ramos, Helena; M. P. L. V. O. Ferreira , Isabel; Carvalho, Márcia; Araújo, Ana MargaridaBackground: Plastics have revolutionized every aspect of modern life [1, 2], offering convenience but also bringing forth environmental and health hazards. Their exponential production and improper disposal have led to the global burden of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment [3, 4]. These tiny particles possess the alarming ability to infiltrate the food chain, thereby posing a potenti...
Bone and renal effects of low-level environmental exposure to cadmium in postme...
Kunioka, Carlos; Cruz, Jonas; Souza, Vanessa; Rocha, Bruno; Júnior , Fernando Barbosa; Mota, Carolina; Manso, Maria Conceição; Carvalho, MárciaBackground: It is widely recognized that exposure to high levels of the hazardous heavy metal cadmium (Cd) leads to renal and bone damage [1], but the association with low-level environmental exposure remains less clear. Objective: To assess the effect of environmental Cd exposure on bone and kidney function in postmenopausal women, who may already be at heightened risk of bone and kidney-related complications....
Reading numbers system for portuguese language
Teixeira, João Paulo; Mota, Carolina; Sampaio, CátiaThe paper presents an algorithm for read common numbers until one million in Portuguese language. The record and cutting process of the digit speech sounds deserved a special attention to improve the speech sound output. A special attention is required for the correct inclusion of the particle ‘e’ (and) to provide better naturalness of the read numbers. The system has the ability of simulate the human biologic ...
