Diaphragm ultrasound for muscle strength assessment: A systematic literature re...
Leote, Joao; Monteiro, Margarida; Rocha, Cláudia; Rodrigues, Carolina; Pereira, Marco; Antunes, Maria Luz; Dias, Hermínia; Antunes, Maria da LuzObjective: To assess if diaphragmatic ultrasound (DU) reflects diaphragmatic muscle strenght when compared to respiratory tests and neurophysiological studies. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted on adults undergoing DU, compared to any respiratory or neurophysiological technique. The search strategy was applied in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, and the analysis was conducted using the PR...

Alterações no sono em doentes com cancro submetidos a quimioterapia
Pozdneacov, Alexandrina; Rocha, Cláudia; Cobas, Vlada; Belo, JoanaEste trabalho tem como principal objetivo compreender se existem alterações na estrutura e/ou qualidade do sono no contexto da quimioterapia e apurar se estas alterações surgem como consequência em pacientes oncológicos submetidos a este tipo de tratamento. Para além deste, será também o aprofundamento dos conhecimentos sobre os temas abordados. A pertinência no desenvolvimento deste tema está diretamente relac...
A ultrassonografia diafragmática na predição da função diafragmática: revisão s...
Monteiro, Margarida; Rocha, Cláudia; Rodrigues, Carolina; Dias, Hermínia Brites; Pereira, Marco; Antunes, Maria Da LuzO diafragma é o principal músculo inspiratório do corpo humano, a sua disfunção traduz-se na perda da capacidade de gerar força muscular. A Ultrassonografia Diafragmática (UD) tem vindo a ser explorada para a avaliação da função do diafragma por ser uma técnica não-invasiva, bem tolerada, simples e rápida. Objetivo do estudo: Compreender se a UD prediz a função diafragmática, através da comparação desta técnica...
Oral Hygiene in Patients with Stroke: A Best Practice Implementation Project Pr...
Cardoso, Ana Filipa; Ribeiro, Liliana Escada; Santos, Teresa; Pinto, Maribel; Rocha, Cláudia; Magalhães, Joana; Augusto, Berta; Santos, DianaOral hygiene has been shown to reduce adverse events and promote the quality of life of patients with stroke. However, a stroke can result in the impairment of physical, sensory, and cognitive abilities, and comprise self-care. Although nurses recognize its benefits, there are areas for improvement in the implementation of the best evidence-based recommendations. The aim is to promote compliance with the best e...
Data matrix based low cost Autonomous detection of medicine packages
Lima, José; Rocha, Cláudia; Rocha, Luísa; Costa, Paulo Gomes daCounterfeit medicine is still a crucial problem for healthcare systems, having a huge impact in worldwide health and economy. Medicine packages can be traced from the moment of their production until they are delivered to the costumers through the use of Data Matrix codes, unique identifiers that can validate their authenticity. Currently, many practitioners at hospital pharmacies have to manually scan such cod...

Rocha, CláudiaOrientador: Marco A. F. Randi; Monografia (Bacharelado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná. Setor de Ciencias Biológicas. Curso de Graduaçao em Ciencias Biológicas; Resumo : Sphoeroides lestudineus é uma espécie componente da ictiofauna de fundo de regiões etuarinas pouco profundas, onde se alimenta de macro e microinvertebrados. Apesar de serem venenosas, espécies de Tetraodontiformes são consumidas freqüentemen...
Three-dimensional scanning system based on a low-cost infrared sensor
Braun, João; Lima, José; Pereira, Ana I.; Rocha, Cláudia; Costa, Paulo Gomes daNowadays, with the availability of 3D printers, the scanners for objects are becoming increasingly present since they allow to replicate objects by 3D printing, especially for small scale sizes. However, the majority of these technologies are expensive, due to the complexity of this task. Therefore, this work presents a prototype of a low-cost 3D scanning system for small objects using a point cloud to stereoli...
Low-cost SARS-CoV-2 vaccine homogenization system for Pfizer-BioNTech covid-19 ...
Lima, José; Rocha, Luísa; Rocha, Cláudia; Costa, Paulo Gomes daThe current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been affecting all sectors worldwide, and efforts have been targeting the enhancement of people’s health and labour conditions of collaborators belonging to healthcare institutions. The recent vaccines emerging against covid-19 are seen as a solution to address the problem that has already killed up to two million people. The preparation of the Pfizer-BioNTech covid-19 vaccin...
Searching the optimal parameters of a 3D scanner through particle swarm optimiz...
Braun, João; Lima, José; Pereira, Ana I.; Rocha, Cláudia; Costa, Paulo Gomes daThe recent growth in the use of 3D printers by independent users has contributed to a rise in interest in 3D scanners. Current 3D scanning solutions are commonly expensive due to the inherent complexity of the process. A previously proposed low-cost scanner disregarded uncertainties intrinsic to the system, associated with the measurements, such as angles and offsets. This work considers an approach to estimate...
