Prevalence and clinical characteristics of late Onset Axial Spondyloarthritis: ...
Rocha, Margarida Lucas; Torres, R.; Ramiro, S.; Castro, A. M.; Neves, A.; Martins, A.; Chícharo, A. T.; Mendes, B.; Matos, C. O.; Soares, C.Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) typically starts before the fourth decade oflife. Consistent with that, the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS)classification criteria for axSpA should be applied only in patients with chronic back pain startingbefore 45 years of age. It has, however, been suggested that axSpA can sometimes start later in lifewith a distinctive phenotype, the so-called ‘l...
Development of a maturity model for additive manufacturing: A conceptual model ...
Espadinha-Cruz, P.; Neves, A.; Matos, F.; Godina, R.Additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging area with the potential to modify present business models in the near future. In contrast with conventional manufacturing (CM), AM allows the development of a product from a smaller amount of raw material, while allowing an improvement in properties in terms of weight and functionality. Its production flexibility and creativity in terms of materials have enabled not on...
Identifying strategic opportunities through the development of a roadmap for ad...
Fernandes, V.; Matos, F.; Oliveira, J. P.; Neves, A.; Godina, R.Additive Manufacturing (AM) demonstrates significant potential with rapid growth and widespread industrial adoption. To support the integration and innovation of AM technologies, the development of guidance tools and support methods are crucial, and a technological roadmap can assist in this effort. Despite its widespread use in production processes, the need for further research on the potential impact of AM r...

Negative impact on the reproductive potential of blue jack mackerel Trachurus p...
Neves, A.; Gordo, I.; Sequeira, V.; Vieira, A.R.; Silva, E.; Silva, F.; Duarte, A.M.; Mendes, S.; Ganhão, R.; Peleteiro, M.C.; Assis, C.; Rebelo, R.Reproduction of Trachurus picturatus off the western Portuguese coast was studied over 1 yr. During histological analyses, the presence of Kudoa sp. was detected in advanced vitellogenic oocytes. Kudoa infections are known to cause economic loss through the induction of postmortem liquefaction of fish muscles, but ovarian infection as reported in this study will seriously affect the reproductive potential of th...

Fonseca, A.; Silva, R.; Rato, I.; Neves, A.; Peixoto, C.; Ferraz, Z.; Ramalho, I.; Carocha, A.; Félix, N.; Valdoleiros, S.; Galvão, A.; Gonçalves, D.The best route of delivery for the term breech fetus is still controversial. We aim to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes between vaginal and cesarean term breech deliveries.

Sequeira, V.; Couto, Elsa; Neves, A.; Vieira, A. R.; Paiva, R. B.; Canario, A.V.M.; Gordo, L. S.Two hundred and seven individuals (103 females and 104 males) of bluemouth Helicolenus dactylopterus (Scorpaeniformes, Sebastidae), a commercially important deep-water species with an unusual reproductive strategy, from the eastern Atlantic Ocean ranging from 13<bold></bold>9 to 37<bold></bold>5 cm total length (L-T) were analysed from September 2011 to October 2012. The analysis included gonad maturity phases ...
Adesão ao regime Terapêutico na Doença Crónica: Revisão da Literatura
Dias, A. M.; Cunha, M.; Santos, A.; Neves, A.; Pinto, A.; Silva, A.; Castro, S.Na actualidade, uma percentagem significativa da população mundial depara-se com a necessidade de tomar medicação e de adoptar medidas para controlar e tratar, tanto as patologias agudas como as crónicas. Os doentes portadores de patologia crónica são os que menos aderem à terapêutica. Estima-se que, nos países desenvolvidos, apenas 50% dos doentes crónicos cumprem o tratamento acordado com o profissional de sa...
