Early detection of cancer is critical for improving patient survival rates, reducing morbidity and minimizing treatment costs. This study explores the use of multiphoton microscopy to enhance colorectal cancer detection, by using two-photon excitation fuorescence of intrinsic fuorophores. The diagnostic capability of this technique hinges on two key metabolic enzymes, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and favin...
As a result of this study authors intend to understand the attitude of the fashion consumer in relation to marketing actions of social causes and their influ ence on the purchase decision. It is also intended to show in one study two aspects, that of the brands and the consumers.
Background: Clinical guidelines recommend prehabilitation with exercise training to optimize recovery after lung cancer surgery. However, the lack of access to facility-based exercise programs is a major barrier to routine participation. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a home-based exercise intervention before lung cancer resection. Methods: We conducted a prospective, two-site feasibility study, ...
Background. Preoperative exercise training is recommended for improvement of clinical outcomes after lung cancer (LC) surgery. However, its efectiveness in preventing postoperative decline in quality of life (QoL) remains unknown. This study investigated the efect of preoperative home-based exercise training (PHET) on QoL after LC surgery. Methods. Patients awaiting LC resection were randomized to PHET or a con...

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a cost-effective intervention with well-known benefits on exercise capacity, symptoms and quality of life in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Despite the compelling evidence of its benefits, PR implementation is still suboptimal, and maintenance of PR benefits is challenging. To overcome these pitfalls, there has been a growing interest to develop novel models for PR ...
Introdução: As estratégias atuais para a promoção de atividade física (AF) em pessoas com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crónica (DPOC) têm mostrado resultados inconsistentes. O uso de plataformas digitais para treino (coaching) de AF tem o potencial de acompanhar remotamente o doente e proporcionar feedback regular sem sobrecarregar os serviços de saúde, podendo alcançar um maior número de doentes. A plataforma di...
