Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effects of two exercise-based programs over a short-term 6-week period, compared to a control group (no exercise program), on the quality of life (QoL) and mental health of patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 72 patients with MI were individually randomized (1:1:1) into three groups: HIIT, MICT, and control. Bo...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death globally. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs’ benefits are overall consensual; however, during exercise, progressive physiological effects have not been studied yet in cardiac patients. Our study aims to analyze physiological parameters of thermography, heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure, central nervous system (CNS) fatigue, and cortical ...

The present study investigates the climatic influence on the geochemistry and mineralogy of the Lower Cretaceous succession of the Ericeira region (Lusitanian Basin, western Portugal). Palaeoclimatic conditions are inferred from a combination of weathering indices and independent palynological and palaeobotanical data. A composite weathering intensity index is computed from selected geochemical and mineralogica...
A new Early Cretaceous flora is described from the Lusitanian Basin in the Estremadura region (western Portugal) based on a combined study of mesofossils and palynomorphs. The fossil specimens were extracted from samples collected in the Chicalhão clay pit complex, near the village of Juncal from sediments belonging to the Figueira da Foz Formation. The plant bearing sequence is considered to be of Late Aptian–...
A cartografia geológica sistemática para a edição da Folha 43-A, Cuba, tem vindo a desenvolver-se desde 2009, com base em levantamentos de campo realizados à escala 1:25000. As unidades cartografadas até à actualidade são incluídas (1) no Maciço de Beja - Pórfiros de Baleizão, Dioritos de Monte Novo e Complexo Gabro Diorítico de Cuba, (2) no sector de Montemor-Ficalho - formações meta-sedimentares e vulcano-sed...
