Use of titanium mesh to reconstruct lateral skull base defects through three di...
Rosa, Cláudia; Caetano, Mariana; Carvalho, Tomás; Levy, João; Oliveira, Vitor; Eça, Tiago; Luís, LeonelAim: Evaluate the treatment of tegmen defects with titanium mesh through three different approaches – middle cranial fossa or transmastoid alone or a combination of both, evaluating and comparing their outcomes. Material & Methods: Retrospective data collection of patients submitted to surgical correction of middle cranial fossa SB defects with titanium mesh reconstruction plates between 2021 and 2023 in a ...
Perceção de autoeficácia dos membros da família prestadores de cuidados acompan...
Oliveira, Vitor; Silva, António; Machado, Maria; Gomes, Lisa; Petronilho, FernandoAs equipas de saúde, nomeadamente ao nível dos cuidados de saúde primários, desenvolvem intervenções que visam melhorar as competências do membro da família prestador de cuidados para tomar conta da pessoa dependente. Definiu-se como objetivo geral para este estudo, avaliar a perceção de autoeficácia dos membros da família prestador de cuidados, de famílias que integram pessoas dependentes no autocuidado, acomp...
Promoting positive behaviors in Pre-School Education: A European approach
Barros, Sílvia; Oliveira, Vitor; Araújo, Sara; Santos, Miguel; Otero-Mayer, Andrea; Mohr, VivianePre-school education is a key setting for the promotion of children's socioemotional development. This study, in which 208 kindergarten teachers in Portugal participated, explores the results of the needs assessment carried out as part of a European project focused on the promotion of positive behaviours in early childhood education entitled Implementing Positive Behaviour Support in Early Childhood Education a...
Structural systemic risk: evolution and main drivers
Azevedo, Nuno; Oliveira, VitorThis paper analyzes how systemic risk structurally evolved between 2007 and 2017. The main contributions of the paper to the literature include the methodology, analysis and potential use for macroprudential policies. The methodology, known as network analysis, comprises direct (credit and liquidity risk) and indirect (concentration risk) contagion channels as well as other specificities that improve the method...
Processing of poly(ionic liquid)-ionic liquid membranes using femtosecond (fs) ...
Gouveia, Andreia S.L.; Oliveira, Vitor; Ferraria, Ana Maria; Rego, Ana; Ferreira, Maria João; Tomé, Liliana C.; Almeida, Amélia; Marrucho, I. M.Femtosecond (fs) laser micromachining on polymeric materials is a single-step, and contactless manufacturing technology. Knowing the potential of poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) and their derived composite materials incorporating ionic liquids (PIL-IL) to design membranes with improved CO2 separation, we here explore for the first time the creation of microchannels on the surface of PIL-IL materials by laser ablatio...

Jeremy nasceu em Reading em 1938, e desenvolveu o seu doutoramento nesta cidade do sul de Inglaterra. Em 1963 começou a dar aulas em ...
Cytotoxic effects of crotamine are mediated through lysosomal membrane permeabi...
Hayashi, Mirian A.F.; Nascimento, Fábio D.; Kerkis, Alexandre; Oliveira, Vitor; Oliveira, Eduardo B.; Pereira, Alexandre; Rádis-Baptista, GandhiCrotamine, one of the main toxic components of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom, is a small non-enzymatic basic polypeptide, which causes hind limb paralysis and necrosis of muscle cells. It is well-known that several toxins penetrate into the cytosol through endocytosis, although in many cases the mechanism by which this occurs has not been fully investigated. Recently, using low concentrations of crotamine,...
Update on the definition, consequences, and diagnosis of sarcopenia: a literatu...
Oliveira, Vitor; Deminice, RafaelIntroduction: Sarcopenia is defined as a progressive and generalized skeletal muscle disorder that is associated with a greater likelihood of health complications, including falls, fractures, physical disability, and mortality. Sarcopenia, which was previously described as a condition inherent to age, has different recognized causal factors and affects many individuals regardless of age. Due to its importance a...
