Salvar sem apropriar: princípios de atuação num modelo ético de acolhimento tem...
Oliveira, NunoArtigo de reflexão que propõe um modelo ético de acolhimento temporário de espólios arqueológicos em risco, face a ameaças crescentes como guerras, catástrofes naturais e tráfico ilícito. Apesar da existência de convenções internacionais – Unesco (1954 e 1970) e Unidroit (1995) –, a distância entre princípios e ação prática continua significativa. Inspirado por iniciativas da Unesco, do Icomos e da Blue Shield ...
C3 Glomerulonephritis: From Diagnosis to Management in a Unique Patient Case
Castro, Pedro; Oliveira, Nuno; Alves, RuiC3 glomerulopathies (C3G) are ultra -rare diseases driven by dysregulation of the alternative pathway in the complement system, leading to glomerular C3 deposition and inflammation. C3G includes dense deposit disease (DDD) and C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN), both associated with progression to end -stage renal disease (ESRD). This report presents a C3GN case, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic complexities. ...

Nogueira, Estela; Oliveira, Nuno; Godinho, Iolanda; Lança, Alice; Inácio, António; Santos, Clara; Pinto, Helena; Laranjinha, Ivo; Vaz, RaquelSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a challenging immune ‑mediated disease that frequently involves the kidney as lupus nephritis (LN), an immune complex glomerulonephritis. Its occurrence is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and current treatment still fails to preserve renal function in the long term. As such, more efficacious and less toxic treatments are needed to treat LN, aiming to reduc...
Oropharyngeal dysphagia in the acute post-stroke phase – is there a role for ri...
Rodrigues, Ana Rita; Barreto, Joana; Duarte, Delfim; Oliveira, NunoIntroduction: Stroke is one of the main causes of morbimortality in developed countries. Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD) is the second most frequent complication in the acute post-stroke phase and it is an independent predictor of unfavorable outcome and institutionalization, being associated with longer hospital stays and a huge economic impact. There is a documented association between the presence of certain s...
Predictors of fistula after laringectomy: a 10-year review
Gomes, Pedro Marques; Cabral, Diogo Cunha; Oliveira, Nuno; Duarte, Delfim; Azevedo, PaulaIntroduction: Total laryngectomy (TL) is a surgical procedure used to treat advanced laryngeal cancer. Although effective, it is associated with several postoperative complications, one of the most important being pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF). The incidence of this complication varies from 8.7% to 27%, depending on factors such as surgical technique and patient characteristics. The development of PCF can pro...
Clinical and functional impact of post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia: a retros...
Rodrigues, Ana Rita; Dias, Adelaide; Duarte, Delfim; Oliveira, NunoObjectives: To assess the impact of post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD) on clinical and functional outcomes. Study Design: Observational, retrospective, single-center study. Materials and Methods: A total of 137 patients hospitalized due to stroke who underwent fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) between January 2018 and December 2023 were included. The incidence of aspiration pneumonia ...
The Critical Role of Multidisciplinary Teams inthe Management of Rare Systemic ...
Ferreira, Inês; Nogueira, Estela; Laranjinha, Ivo; Moura Jerónimo, Teresa; Godinho, Iolanda; Inácio, António; Oliveira Correia, Sofia; Lança, AliceRare systemic rheumatic diseases (RISD) with renal involvement, such as anti‑neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)‑associated vasculitis and systemic lupus erythematosus, require complex, coordinated care. These conditions often involve renal complications requiring specialized and timely intervention. Traditional care models, typically fragmented across specialties, are insufficient to meet the nuanced needs ...
When sardines disappear: tracking common dolphin, delphinus delphis, distributi...
Brouder, Sarah; Marques, Tiago A.; Oliveira, Nuno; Monteiro, Pedro; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel Santos; Marçalo, AnaThe common dolphin, Delphinus delphis, is the most abundant cetacean species along the western Iberian Peninsula and faces many anthropogenic threats, with bycatch being the most impactful. Its preferred prey, sardine (Sardina pilchardus), has shown fluctuating abundance over the past decade, potentially influencing dolphin distribution. This study provides the first insights into common dolphin distribution al...
Seasonal variation in seabird abundance and bycatch at artisanal bottom-set net...
Pereira, Jorge M.; Ramos, Jaime A.; Almeida, Ana; Marçalo, Ana; Carvalho, Flávia; Fagundes, Isabel; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel Santos; Frade, MagdaBycatch is a major cause of seabird mortality, yet most studies focus on industrial fisheries, with limited knowledge on artisanal fisheries. This study investigates the seasonal abundance of seabirds off the southern-eastern coast of mainland Portugal, their attendance at artisanal bottom-set net fisheries, and observed bycatch, using onboard observations and fishermen interviews. From March 2020 to November 2...
Mitigation measures to reduce seabird's interactions with bottom-set nets in so...
Frade, Magda; Carvalho, Flávia; Samel, Vighnesh Nilesh; Oliveira, Nuno; Andrade, Joana; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel Santos; Marçalo, AnaBycatch poses a significant threat to seabird populations globally. On the southern coast of mainland Portugal, mitigation measures were tested to reduce seabird interactions with fishing vessels. Between 2021 and 2023, this study evaluated the effectiveness of a visual deterrent (a ’scarybird’ device), an acoustic deterrent (megaphone broadcasts), alongside modification in fisher’s behaviour discard management...
