In-person home-based rehabilitation and telerehabilitation can be as effective as clinic-based rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but require heavy logistics and are highly dependent on human supervision. New technologies that allow independent home-based rehabilitation without constant human supervision may help solve this problem. This was a single-center, feasibility study comparing a digita...
Plants belonging to the genus Taraxacum have been used in traditional medicine. Nowadays, extracts of these plants have been reported for the treatment of diseases, including liver disorders. Increasing interest and research on these plants also revealed its potential for treating cancer. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant activity and cytotoxic properties of crude extracts from aerial parts of Taraxac...
Introduction: chronic kidney disease is a serious public health problem that affects millions of patients worldwide. So, the main research goals in the CKD patients are the research of new therapeutic approaches capable of slowing down the progression to end-stage renal disease. Objective: the aim of this work, was to evaluate the effects of chronic administration of chaetomellic acid A (CAA), which selectively...
Objective: The high prevalence of chronic kidney disease underscores the failure to provide therapies to effectively halt, prevent, and/or reverse renal fibrosis. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chronic treatment with chaethomellic acid A (CA) on renal fibrosis associated to 5/6 nephrectomy. Methods: Male Wistar rats were subjected to 5/6 nephrectomy (RMR) or sham-operated (SO). One we...
Objectives: In 2009-2010 a Portuguese consortium was created to implement the methodologies proposed by the Dose Datamed II (DDM2) project, aiming to collect data from diagnostic X-ray and nuclear medicine (NM) procedures, in order to determine the most frequently prescribed exams and the associated ionizing radiation doses for the Portuguese population. The current study is the continuation of this work, altho...
Foi com particular entusiasmo que o Departamento de Electrónica e Telecomunicações da Universidade de Aveiro, com o apoio do Instituto de Telecomunicações, organizou esta 12ª Conferência sobre Redes de Computadores – CRC’2012! (...)
A produção de biomassa pelas culturas está relacionada com a quantidade de radiação fotossinteticamente ativa intercetada (IPAR) e absorvida pelas folhas, bem como à eficiência com que estas convertem a energia radiante em energia química, pela fotossíntese. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de avaliar a eficiência do uso IPAR pela oliveira (0/ea europaea L.) quando cultivada em diferentes sistemas de gestão do s...
Olive grove irrigation has substantially increased in the past years on the region of Alentejo (southern Portugal). The correct determination of the plant water requirements is one of the key factors on the orchard management. This work evaluates the response of two varieties of Olea europaea, Cobrançosa in an intensive grove (hereafter named FEA) and Arbequina in a hedgerow orchard (hereafter named OSul), subj...
