First touch course—the impact of a nation-wide boot camp on the transition to s...

Surgical residents face numerous challenges and undergo significant changes at the beginning of their residency. Although there are several courses throughout residency, it is difficult to address all of them in a single activity. Boot camps (BC) have been a way for easing this transition period. Our team developed the “First Touch Course” boot camp in 2017 to join all residents of the same year, before they in...

Compositional heterogeneity of late to post-Variscan, mafic subvolcanic dykes f...

ABSTRACT: This study is dedicated to the presentation and interpretation of whole-rock geochemical data concerning a few mafic subvolcanic dykes located in northern Portugal, related to the late to posttectonic stages of the Variscan orogeny. Overall, the analyzed rocks are reasonably fresh, ultrabasic to intermediate, metaluminous to moderately peraluminous, and calc-alkaline or alkaline. There is no evidence ...

Can motivation and intentions of parental support predict musical achievement b...

Admission procedures to elementary school in Music Conservatoires in Portugal consist in the assessment of aural aptitude. This investigation aims at assessing the power of aural aptitude at predicting future musical achievement as well as the assessment of two other variables for the same purpose: motivation and intentions of parental support. For that matter, our sample includes the cohort of the admitted can...

RAWS4all project: validation of a new silicone model for robotic TAPP inguinal ...

Trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) hernia repair is a complex procedure that presents several challenges. Even though, due to the high prevalence of inguinal hernia, TAPP technique is increasing in frequency and robotic Abdominal Wall Surgery (rAWS) is emerging as a valuable tool in this regard. Although inguinal TAPP procedure principles have been published and simulation is needed, the availability of vali...

Vacinação Extra-PNV: a realidade de uma USF

   Introdução: A vacinas são a melhor arma preventiva para muitas doenças. Apesar de Portugal ser um dos países com maior taxa de cobertura vacinal para as imunizações do Programa Nacional de Vacinação (PNV), o mesmo não acontece com as imunizações extra PNV. Em várias USF, o aconselhamento e o esclarecimento sobre estas vacinas é muito heterogéneo e varia consoante o profissional. Existem estudos que demonstra...

At the start of 2020, the outbreak of a global pandemic crisis posed new and unprecedented challenges to education, forcing families to stay at home to prevent contagion. This investigation was conducted during the period of a COVID pandemic lockdown...

Sarcopenia: análise da pessoa internada com doença oncológica

Entende-se por sarcopenia um distúrbio muscular esquelético que se caracteriza pela diminuição da massa e função muscular, mais presente na população envelhecida. Parece ser unânime na literatura a necessidade de se identificar precocemente a presença de sarcopenia, no sentido de se iniciar o mais breve possível um programa de intervenção para obtenção de melhores resultados clínicos.

Robotic4all project: Results of a hands-on robotic surgery training program

Objective: Although robotic surgery adoption and its indications are growing worldwide, for multiple factors, including costs, there is a lack of training and experience. Our aim was to study the impact of a robotic introduction training program on gesture performance, such as suturing, in robot-naive individuals. Methods: Using the DaVinci robot, a 2-hour program was based on virtual reality and anatomical mod...
