Analyzing Total Hip Arthroplasty: Straight Stem vs Anatomical Stem with Differe...
Queirós, Pedro; Gueiral, Nuno; González-Gómez, Carlos David; Gueiral, Nuno[Introduction] Total Hip Arthroplasty involves replacing damaged parts of the hip joint with a prosthetic comprised of an artificial acetabular cup and femoral head. These components, made of durable, low-friction materials, aim to restore mobility, and alleviate pain in patients with hip joint degeneration, such as osteoarthritis or fractures. Utilizing computational mathematical models, such as the finite ele...
Association between Elevated Iodine Intake and IQ among School Children in Port...
Carvalho, Irene P.; Peixoto, Bruno; Caldas, José Carlos; Costa, Ana; Silva, Sofia; Moreira, Bárbara; Almeida, Agostinho; Moreira-Rosário, AndréThe goal of this work was to examine whether elevated iodine intake was associated with adverse effects on IQ among school-age children in Portugal. In a representative sample of children from the north of the country, IQ percentiles by age (assessed with Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices) were dichotomized to <50 (“below-average” IQs) and ≥50. Morning urine iodine concentrations, corrected for creatinine, w...

Iodine Status and Iodised Salt Consumption in Portuguese School-Aged Children: ...
Leite, João Costa; Keating, Elisa; Pestana, Diogo; Fernandes, Virgínia; Maia, Maria; Norberto, Sónia; Pinto, Edgar; Moreira-Rosário, AndréThe World Health Organization promotes salt iodisation to control iodine deficiency. In Portugal, the use of iodised salt in school canteens has been mandatory since 2013. The present study aimed to evaluate iodine status in school-aged children (6-12 years) and to monitor the use of iodised salt in school canteens. A total of 2018 participants were randomly selected to participate in a cross-sectional survey i...
Open architecture for quality of service monitoring at a National Research and ...
Santos, Alexandre; Nicolau, Maria João; Dias, Bruno; Queirós, PedroThe Portuguese National Research and Education Network (NREN) has a set of proprietary appliances for Quality of Service (QoS) monitoring probes within its backbone, very much dependant both on hardware and software details. Nowadays, several open source QoS mon- itoring systems and some Network Performance Measurement and Mon- itoring tools, developed both by G EANT and Internet2 member institu- tions, are ava...
