This study demonstrates that deep learning models, particularly YOLOv4 and Faster R-CNN, can effectively detect and segment facial hyperpigmentation with high accuracy. The integration of classical image processing and a user-friendly GUI makes the system accessible to clinicians and researchers. These results highlight the potential of AI to enhance dermatological diagnostics and support longitudinal skin heal...
Digital forensic analysis of mobile devices is an emerging and increasingly relevant area in criminal investigation, given the quantity and relevance of the information stored on these devices. This work aims to define a structured and standardized procedure for conducting digital forensic analysis of mobile devices in Portugal, in accordance with the national and European legal framework, namely the Cybercrime...
Enquadramento: O avanço da radiologia tem sido crucial no tratamento oncológico, evoluindo de sistemas rudimentares, como o Integris V5000 em 1997, para tecnologias híbridas atuais, como o Alphenix 4D CT, que combinam angiografia e tomografia computadorizada (TC). Essas inovações permitem maior precisão diagnóstica e terapêutica, reduzindo riscos associados a radiação e contraste iodado [1-3]. Objetivo: Descrev...

Sternal bursitis is an underexplored lesion in poultry, often overlooked in microbiological diagnostics. In this study, we characterized 36 Escherichia coli isolates recovered from sternal bursitis in broiler chickens, combining phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing, PCR-based screening, and whole genome sequencing (WGS). The genetic analysis revealed a diverse population spanning 15 sequence types, i...
