Introduction: Breast cancer biological subtype has an important impact in the definition of the treatment strategy and the prognosis. However, the influence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the immunohistochemistry profile of the tumor is not well clarified. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of immunohistochemistry profile changes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the impact of these changes in adj...
In automobile, aeronautical, aerospace, sports and energy fields, there has been an increase of the use of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) due their considerable advantages, such as, low weight, static and fatigue strength as well as corrosion resistance1. The addition of nanoparticles, in particular carbon allotropes, like graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) or carbon nanotubes (CNT) allow not only enhanced m...
The development of new adhesives has allowed to expand the application of bonding into the most diverse industrial fields. This review article presents the commonly used experimental methods for the investigation of mechanical performance of adhesively bonded joints in the aerospace, wind energy, automotive and civil engineering sectors. In these sectors, due to their excellent intrinsic properties, composite m...
O CHTS pretende e ambiciona na literacia em saúde, na vertente do cidadão, que haja mais igualdades em saúde e que, este cidadão perante a necessidade de tomar decisões de forma autónoma (muitas vezes de elevada complexidade), sobre a promoção de saúde, prevenção das doenças ou seu tratamento, esteja informado e com conhecimentos para o fazer. Pretende que o cidadão seja capaz de obter melhor acesso aos cuidado...
As part of the neoliberal politics seen since the 1900s, large urban regeneration schemes have been implemented not only to "amend" inefficient urban policies but, foremost, to revert the process of socio-economic decline seen in post-industrial cities. One of the main aspects of this phenomenon is the (re)invention of cities through the (re)design of their wastelands, where new (spectacular) architectures and ...
Assessing the impact of uranium mining industry on aquatic ecosystems near mining areas is critical to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of ecosystem services. As so, a transgenerational study with Daphnia magna has been conducted to perceive to what extent intermittent discharges of uranium mine effluents into watercourses may impact the DNA integrity and life history traits of cladocerans. Organi...
OBJECTIVES: This study used autopsy to evaluate the prevalence of cholelithiasis and its associated risk factors in a population of healthy, young subjects who suffered a violent or natural death. METHODS: This study is a prospective evaluation of autopsies of 446 individuals from 2011 to 2013 in Brazil. Of that sample, 330 (74%) subjects died from violent deaths and 116 (26%) died naturally. The presence of bi...

Nowadays, the electrical energy distribution network is considered to be a critical infrastructure in industrially developed societies. Its protection regarding safety and security threats is increasing awareness and concern.The fact that this infrastructure is geographically spread across large areas brings difficult technological challenges for fault management (real-time prevention, detection, precise locati...
Introduction and aims: The Sentinel Node (SN) concept emerged as a way to improve Breast Cancer (BC) staging and to reduce the morbidity of the Axillary Dissection (AD). But the influence of the SN concept on long term BC outcomes is not well defined. The aim of this work is to assess the impact of the SN concept on the overall and disease-free survival and on the axillary recurrence, in a prospectively control...
