An Overview of Monkeypox Virus Detection in Different Clinical Samples and Anal...

Mpox is a zoonotic disease caused by the Monkeypox virus (MPXV), and since May 2022, tens of thousands of cases have been reported in non-endemic countries. We aimed to evaluate the suitability of different sample types for mpox diagnostic and assess the temporal dynamics of viral load. We evaluated 1914 samples from 953 laboratory-confirmed cases. The positivity rate was higher for lesion (91.3%) and rectal sw...

Digital Marketing Strategies in Tourism

The tourism sector is characterised by its strong connection between its operators and their consumers, and this connection has been adapted in line with the technological improvements that have been developed and is now greatly influenced by the entire digital environment that surrounds today's society. In this way, tourism has increasingly begun to integrate various digital platforms into its business strateg...

Viral genetic clustering and transmission dynamics of the 2022 mpox outbreak in...

Pathogen genome sequencing during epidemics enhances our ability to identify and understand suspected clusters and investigate their relationships. Here, we combine genomic and epidemiological data of the 2022 mpox outbreak to better understand early viral spread, diversification and transmission dynamics. By sequencing 52% of the confirmed cases in Portugal, we identified the mpox virus sublineages with the hi...

In vivo dosimetry in breast tumours: comparison between the calculated and meas...

Introduction – In vivo dosimetry is useful in measuring the dose administered to patients during treatment, assessing significant differences between the prescribed dose and the dose to the target volume and the organs at risk. Purpose – To compare the measured dose with the calculated dose in patients with breast tumors with and without a physical wedge. Methods – Entrance dose measurements using p-type diodes...

Visual function and psychological variables in alcohol dependency syndrome

Introduction: Alcohol Dependence Syndrome (ADS) is defined as excessive alcohol consumption accompanied by psychological, physical, social, and economic disorders. Alcohol consumption affects motor and proprioceptive functions, decreasing motor and cognitive functions and causing attention deficits. We aim to evaluate visual function and attention, and psychological profiles in consumer and abstainer ADS patien...

Portuguese National Serological Survey to Coronavirus Disease 19 - ISNCOVID-19

The objective of this seroepidemiological survey was to estimate seroprevalence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) specific antibodies (IgM and/or IgG) in Portugal in May-July 2020. The seroprevalence of SARS-Cov-2 infection (positive for IgM and/or IgG) was 2.9% (CI95: 2.0 - 4.2%). Our results support extend limited extent of infection by SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal due to early lockdow...

Survey of Campylobacter in foods implicated in foodborne diseases in Southern B...

Campylobacter is not routinely tested in foodborne disease investigations in Brazil. Here, we studied the occurrence of Campylobacter among other food-related bacteria commonly found in foodborne disease outbreaks reported in Rio Grande do Sul State, Southern Brazil. Seventy-two food samples were analyzed by using culture-based detection methods during the 18-month investigation of 36 foodborne disease outbreak...
