Oliveira, R.; Roseira, J.; Araújo, N.; Cavaco, C.; André, J.; Sousa, M.; Sousa, H. Tavares de; Cunha, M.We aimed to compare real-life direct and indirect costs and the environmental impact of switching IBD patients from IV to SC infliximab (IFX).
Maintaining remission after an episode of steroid-responsive acute severe ulcer...
Bravo, C.; Gomes, C. Frias; Blesl, A.; Damasceno, J.; Drygiannakis, I.; Argyriou, K.; Festa, S.; Aratari, A.; Todeschini, A.; Jelakovic, M.The best maintenance therapy after a steroid-responsive acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) episode remains poorly studied and is not addressed in current guidelines. We aimed to compare the impact of different treatment strategies following hospitalization for steroid-responsive ASUC.
Predicting outcomes of disease in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis ...
Oliveira, R.; Viegas, M. I.; Abrantes, D.; Conde, P. Vaz; Saraiva, M.; Espinheira, M. D. C.; Trindade, E.; Carvalho, I.; Perdigoto, D.The impact of coexistent IBD and PSC on disease progression and prognosis is unclear. This study evaluates outcomes in patients with both conditions, using the novel PSC Risk Estimate Tool (PREsTO) for PSC prognosis.
Green dynamic capabilities in tourism: An integrative conceptual model for sust...
Dias, Á.; Oliveira, R.; Pereira, L.Purpose: This study aims to contribute to the development of scientific knowledge in Green Dynamic Capabilities (GDC) and Environmental Sustainability, a recent and little explored topic in the literature. The research was carried out to propose an integrative conceptual model of GDC, which can be used by organizations as a guideline in the implementation of these capabilities. Methodology/Design/Approach: The ...
Application of governance, risk management, and compliance practices in the pub...
Oliveira, R.; Miranda, L.; Pinho, CarlosThis work's main objective was to study the application of governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) practices at Federal Institute of Bahia (IFBA), based on COSO- ERM, ISO 31000, and PMBOK. The application was carried out from the perspective of the technology acceptance model (TAM) to investigate users' perception of using a GRC system. The study is based on a questionnaire graded on a seven- point Lik...

Rumo ao mar: Avaliação da migração dos juvenis de salmão-do-atlântico (Salmo sa...
Silva, S.S.; Alexandre, C.M.; Honrado, L.; Mateus, C.M.; Quintella, B.R.; Lança, M.J.; Rato, A.S.; Oliveira, I.C.; Oliveira, R.; Moreira, A.O salmão-do-atlântico (Salmo salar L., 1758) é uma espécie piscícola migradora icónica dos ecossistemas aquáticos, com um elevado valor económico e cultural, cuja área de distribuição se localiza desde o mar Báltico até ao norte da Península Ibérica. Em Portugal, as populações de salmão encontram-se no limite sul da sua distribuição e, portanto, em condições sub-ótimas associadas com o regime térmico e variaçõe...
Muon tomography with Resistive Plate Chambers for geological characterization
Sarmento, Raul; Castro, Alberto Blanco; Caldeira, Bento; Tomé, Bernardo; Loureiro, Custódio; Clemêncio, Filomena; Alexandre, Isabel; Costa, JoãoABSTRACT: Muon tomography is one of several fields of applied physics that have witnessed the successful use of particle detection based on Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC). In this work, we report on an innovative project concerning transmission muography for geological characterization. For this purpose, a muon telescope built of four RPC planes was mounted on an adjustable structure and the telescope's respons...
Vitamin and micronutrient excess in patients with Crohn’s disease under oral am...
Oliveira, R.; Mendes, B.; Neves, J. Cunha; Amorim, E.; Roseira, J.; Sousa, H. Tavares deExclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is recommended for preoperative nutritional optimization (PNO) in adult Crohn's disease (CD) patients. However, during ambulatory oral EEN, a lack of routine monitoring for vitamins may occur, with a potential risk of hypervitaminosisrelated toxicity, which remains unexplored. This study aims to assess the serum levels of vitamins and micronutrients in CD patients undergoing EE...
Characterization of Clostridioides strains and antibiotic resistance profile in...
Oliveira, R.; Sousa, H. Tavares de; Roseira, J.There is an increasing incidence of community-acquired Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), particularly in IBD. Due to a suspected community outbreak in mid-2023, we aimed to investigate the microbiological and antibiotic resistance profile of CDI in an IBD cohort, employing blind central reading, in order to better understand its epidemiology.
