IntroductionDue to its complexity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) requires people to adopt different self-care behaviors. The domains of self-care: medication adherence, blood glucose testing, diet, physical activity, and self-monitoring are essential in its management. Identifying barriers to self-care is crucial to controlling T2DM2 ². ObjectiveIdentify the main barriers to self-care for people with T2DM. Me...
A cross the last deglaciation, the atmospheric CO2 concentration (CO2) increased substantially from ∼ 180 to ∼ 280 ppm, yet its impact on vegetation dynamics across this major climatic transition remains insufficiently understood. In particular, Iberian pollen records reveal an intriguing feature that can be related to an often-overlooked role of CO2 in shaping vegetation responses during the last deglaciation....
Background: Reflecting people with diabetes' self-management activities is often required in both research and clinical practice. This study evaluated the measurement properties of the Portuguese version of the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire-Revised (DSMQ-R) on a sample of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: Translation and cultural adaptation were conducted according to guidelines for...
Aim To identify social prescribing intervention for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the context of primary healthcare and evaluate their impact on improving health, behavior, and economic outcomes. Subject and Methods Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a literature search was conducted in SCOPUS database (MEDLINE) and via EBSCO Hos...
The interglacial known as MIS 11c (c. 426 000-396 000 years ago) receives intensive international interest because of its perceived role as an analogue for the current interglacial and its importance for understanding future climate change. Here we review the current understanding of the stratigraphy of this interglacial in Europe. This study considers (i) the evidence for the environmental history of this inte...
Predicting the environmental impact of climate change in extremely sensitive areas, like western Iberia, requires an understanding of the long-term interactions between climate and vegetation. Here we present a novel hightemporal resolution multiproxy analysis, including plant-wax n-alkane isotope data, pollen analysis, macrocharcoal identification, chironomid and diatom records of sediments from a mountain lak...
Understanding the environmental response to the last glacial termination in regions located in transitional climate zones such as the Atlantic Iberian mountains is crucial to estimate potential changes in regions affected by current glacial melting. We present an 8.5 m-long, solid last deglaciation and Holocene chronostratigraphic record including detailed sediment analysis from Lake Peix˜ao, a pro-glacial lake...
