A Importância de uma Unidade de Insuficiência Cardíaca na Redução do Número de ...

Introdução: A insuficiência cardíaca (IC) e uma síndrome clinica complexa e multifatorial com elevada morbimortalidade e grandes custos nos cuidados de saúde. A integração do doente com IC em programas especiais e multidisciplinares de seguimento visa melhorar a qualidade de vida reduzindo eventos adversos e custos económicos. O objetivo deste trabalho e analisar o impacto de uma unidade de IC do Serviço de Med...

Effects of combining shockwaves or radiofrequency with Aerobic Exercise on subc...

Reducing abdominal subcutaneous fat is a common concern among women, with evidence suggesting that combining aerobic exercise with external shock waves or radiofrequency may enhance fat reduction. This study aimed to assess the effects of six sessions of external shock wave therapy or radiofrequency combined with an aerobic exercise program on abdominal subcutaneous fat and lipid mobilization, compared to the e...

Ecological quality assessment of estuarine macrobenthic communities using an in...

Macrobenthic communities play a crucial role in the functioning of estuarine ecosystems and serve as bioindicators of environmental quality. This study assessed the ecological quality of an estuarine system using the AMBI and M-AMBI indices. The following parameters were considered: (i) environmental factors (total organic matter, organic carbon, grain size, calcium carbonate), (ii) sediment trace metals (Pb, Z...

Distribution patterns of benthic bacteria and nematode communities in estuarine...

Benthic organisms are crucial in the regulation of the ecosystem functions. The interactions between benthic nematodes and sediment bacteria across divergent environmental conditions are poorly understood. The main goal of this study was to understand the spatial distribution patterns and diversity of benthic bacterial communities and nematode assemblages of the intertidal sediments in three sampling sites (Nav...

Food web attributes to assess spatial–temporal dynamics in estuarine benthic ec...

Threatened benthic ecosystems need urgent tools for effective bioassessment and relevant management. EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) obligates member states to achieve GES (Good Environmental Status) for 11 descriptors of environmental state (MSFD; 2008/56/EC). From all of the descriptors, D4 that focuses on Food Webs is the most functional-oriented indicator, but also the most challenging to impl...

Factors Associated with Return to Conventional Hospitalization During Hospital ...

Introdução: O retorno hospitalar, define-se como “a transferência do doente para internamento convencional durante o internamento em hospitalização domiciliária (UHD)” e é um dos critérios utilizados para medir a qualidade dos serviços. Material e Métodos: Estudo observacional retrospetivo com duração de dois anos, com recolha de dados sociodemográficos e clínicos, indicadores relativos ao processo de gestão cl...

Dilemmas of proximity : motives influencing Portuguese firms’ internationalizat...

This study aims to identify Portuguese firms’ motives for internationalizing to Morocco. To achieve this objective, we used a mixed-method (quantitative and qualitative) approach, obtaining data from a questionnaire survey and interviewees from Portuguese enterprises involved in this internationalization process. From exploratory factor analysis (EFA), firms’ reasons for entering the Moroccan market were catego...

Parthenolide Induces ROS-Mediated Apoptosis in Lymphoid Malignancies

Lymphoid malignancies are a group of highly heterogeneous diseases frequently associated with constitutive activation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Parthenolide is a natural compound used to treat migraines and arthritis and found to act as a potent NF-κB signaling inhibitor. This study evaluated in vitro parthenolide efficacy in lymphoid neoplasms. We assessed parthenolide metabolic ...

Escola Protetora ou Escola Desviante?

O presente estudo analisa a perspectiva dos professores em relação à escola e à postura dos seu alunos de uma forma geral, com o objectivo de se explorar, de uma forma indirecta, a relação professor-aluno e a forma como esta pode ser determinante ao longo do desenvolvimento biopsicossocial das crianças e jovens. Com o desenvolvimento do estudo foi possível entender que o factor mais importante em qualquer conte...
