Introduction:The Hugo™ RAS system represents a novel robotic platform recently implemented in our department. Despite its introduction, there is still a scarcity of data regarding extraperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (eRARP) carried out using this system. Our primary aim is to compare perioperative, early functional, and oncological outcomes of eRARP with the Hugo RAS System during our centre’s ...
Introdução: A Doença de Wilson – também denominada de degenerescência hepatolenticular – é uma doença genética rara associada ao metabolismo do cobre e tem uma transmissão autossómica recessiva. Reconhecida pelos seus efeitos sistémicos e neurológicos dramáticos, esta doença tem sintomatologia psiquiátrica muito relevante, frequentemente subvalorizada. Objetivos: Descrever um caso clínico neuropsiquiátrico de D...
According to the IUCN global Red List, Pipistrellus maderensis is among the most endangered bat species in Europe. Its populations are scattered across some islands of the Atlantic Ocean, particularly Madeira and the Canary archipelagoes. This geographical pattern is likely to result in significant genetic differences between populations which would have important implications to set conservation priorities. To...
Aim Bats communicate by emitting social calls, and these often elicit reactions in conspecifics. Many such vocalizations are species-specific so that unambiguous signals can be transmitted and interpreted by conspecifics. In species-rich assemblages, evolutionary pressures might prompt interspecific diversification of call structure so that communication with heterospecifics is avoided. In species poor island c...
