Nationwide Access to Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Portugal

Introduction: Since the publication of endovascular treatment trials and European Stroke Guidelines, Portugal has re-organized stroke healthcare. The nine centers performing endovascular treatment are not equally distributed within the country, which may lead to differential access to endovascular treatment. Our main aim was to perform a descriptive analysis of the main treatment metrics regarding endovascular ...

Flood Risk Assessment at the Douro River Estuary

Estuaries have huge socio-economic and environmental importance. They are a shelter for many species and their natural resources are exploited by human activities. However, the intensification of flood events and the sea-level rise (SLR), caused by climate change (CC), can jeopardize its complex dynamics. This work characterizes the hydrodynamic behaviour of the Douro river estuary, located in northern Portugal...

Prevalence of Nutritional Risk at Admission in Internal Medicine Wards in Portu...

Introduction: Disease-related undernutrition is highly prevalent and requires timely intervention. However, identifying undernutrition often relies on physician judgment. As Internal Medicine wards are the backbone of the hospital setting, insight into the prevalence of nutritional risk in this population is essential. We aimed to determine the prevalence of nutritional risk in Internal Medicine wards, to ident...

Assessment of a Sand Spit Morphodynamics Under Extreme Flood Events

<jats:p>&lt;p&gt;Spits are landforms that present a complex morphology, which depends on currents, waves, sediment transport, tidal range and anthropic-induced changes. Their position and shape is subject to extreme events like flood river discharges and storms. They can also respond to processes that take place at larger time scales, as plate tectonics, sea level rise or even climatological patterns with telec...

Hydro- and Morphodynamic Impacts of Sea Level Rise: The Minho Estuary Case Study

The understanding and anticipating of climate change impacts is one of the greatest challenges for humanity. It is already known that, until the end of the 21st century, the mean sea level (MSL) will rise at a global scale, but its effects at the local scale need to be further analyzed. In this context, a numerical modelling tool and a methodological approach for the river Minho estuary (NW of the Iberian Penin...

Does malnutrition influence hospital reimbursement? A call for malnutrition dia...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine how diagnosing and coding of malnutrition in an internal medicine ward setting influences potential hospital reimbursement. Methods: Patients admitted to the internal medicine ward of Centro Hospitalar do Médio Ave between April 24 and May 22, 2018 were screened by Nutritional Risk Screening 2002, and patients classified as at "risk for malnutrition" were asses...

Anatomical characteristics of the styloid process in internal carotid artery di...

Introduction Pathophysiology of cervical artery dissection is complex and poorly understood. In addition to well-known causative and predisposing factors, including major trauma and monogenic connective tissue disorders, morphological characteristics of the styloid process have been recently recognized as a possible risk factor for cervical internal carotid artery dissection. Aims To study the association of th...
