IgAN.pt: External Validation of theInternational IgA Nephropathy PredictionTool...
C. Ferreira, Beatriz; Fragoso, Pedro; Fernandes, Beatriz; Galvão, Ana; Borges, Andreia; Rodrigues, Luís; Alves, Rui; Sá, HelenaIntroduction: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, presenting with highly variable clinical manifestations and disease progression. The 10‑year risk of end‑stage kidney disease (ESKD) ranges from 5% to 60%, making risk stratification a major challenge. To address this, the IgAN‑Prediction Tool (IgAN‑PT) was developed and is currently recommended for risk assessm...
The elderly people with 80 or more years in the emergency service: Own’s Evalua...
Pina, Fernando; Cardoso, Joana; Vicente, João; Almeida, Leonardo; Mendes, Letícia; Rodrigues, Luís; Esteves, Maria; Ferreira, Paula; Vieira, MargaridaIntroduction: The increase in the average life expectancy of the population has been significantly reflected in the accentuated rate of aging and in the increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, leading to an increase in the influx to the Emergency Services, by the elderly person aged 80 and over. Objective/s: Identify the reasons for visits to the emergency room by the elderly person with 80 or more year...
Manual de Apoio à Consulta de Enfermagem ao Utente com Patologia Cardiovascular
Homem, Filipa; Caetano, Ana; Reveles, Anaísa; Martins, Helena; Sousa, Joana; Rodrigues, Luís; Azevedo, Tânia; Loureiro, Maria; Delgado, BrunoNo sentido de uniformizar conceitos e ensinos na abordagem ao utente com patologia cardiovascular realizados, não só em contexto hospitalar como também no contexto dos CSP, um grupo de enfermeiros dedicado à educação para a saúde do utente com patologia cardiovascular, elaborou este manual. Este encontra-se dividido em 6 capítulos: fatores de risco cardiovascular, síndrome coronária, insuficiência cardíaca, doe...
Hearing aids in the elderly: quality of life and inequality
Morgado, Filipa; Caetano, Gonçalo; Gaspar, Andrea; Rodrigues, Luís; Oom, Constança; Machado, Maria; Santos, Alberto; Macor, CarlosObjectives: To evaluate the impact of hearing aids (HA) on the quality of life of patients with presbycusis and identify the causes for not using them. Study design: Retrospective cohort. Materials and methods: The Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE) was applied to patients with presbycusis, with indication for HA, followed in the ENT Service of a tertiary hospital between 2021 and 2022. Patients ...
Experimental demonstration of an optical camera communication system using a la...
Younus, Othman Isam; Matus, Vicente; Rodrigues, Luís; Ghassemlooy, Zabih; Alves, Luis Nero; Bentley, EdwardWe report, for the first time, an optical camera communications (OCC) link leveraging the use of a commercial off-the-shelf light emitting diode illumination panel. An experimental testbed is developed for the proposed system, and the quality of the communication link is measured in terms of the eye diagram of the signal received and the signal-to noise ratios for different exposure times. We show an acceptable...
Visible light communication systems architectures for the Internet of Things
Rodrigues, Luís; Figueiredo, Mónica; Alves, Luís Nero; Ghassemlooy, ZabihThe concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) is the Internet connectivity of everyday objects, relying on low-cost, low-power, and small form factor devices. Current IoT technology is based on the radio-frequency spectrum, however with the increasing number of devices the channel is becoming crowded. Visible light communications (VLC) has been proposed as a complementary technology of IoT scenarios, having the a...
Carrier synchronisation in multiband carrierless amplitude and phase modulation...
Rodrigues, Luís; Figueiredo, Mónica; Alves, Luis Nero; Ghassemlooy, ZabihThe technical feasibility of developing an Internet of Things multi‐user communication system is evaluated based on a central digital multiband carrierless amplitude and phase transmitter, which broadcasts data on multiple channels for a number of low‐cost/low power devices. It addresses the issue of carrier synchronisation, which is critical in realworld implementations because of imperfections of devices and ...
O impacto da inteligência artificial na área e profissão de auditoria
Rodrigues, LuísO início de século XXI ficou marcado por progressos significativos ao nível tecnológico e, simultaneamente, pelo crescimento da economia mundial e desenvolvimento da estrutura e complexidade das organizações. Além disso, cresceu também o nível de exigência por parte dos utilizadores das demonstrações financeiras (DF), que cada vez mais, procuram saber com exatidão se estas são representativas da posição finance...
Food Ingredients Derived from Lemongrass Byproduct Hydrodistillation: Essential...
Rodrigues, Luís; Coelho, Elisabete; Madeira, Renata; Teixeira, Pedro; Henriques, Isabel; Coimbra, Manuel A.Essential oil (EO), hydrolate, and nondistilled aqueous phase (decoction) obtained from the hydrodistillation of lemongrass byproducts were studied in terms of their potential as food ingredients under a circular economy. The EO (0.21%, dry weight basis) was composed mainly of monoterpenoids (61%), the majority being citral (1.09 g/kg). The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of lemongrass EO against Escher...
A Implementação e Utilização de LMS no ensino das línguas no Ensino Superior: e...
Rodrigues, LuísInicialmente como resposta aos desafios colocados pela pandemia da Covid-19, mas, entretanto, já transformada em realidade estruturante de muitas Instituições de Ensino Superior, a tecnologia tem tido papel cada vez mais preponderante no ensino. Este estudo toma como seus sujeitos os professores de línguas da Universidade de Santiago, em Cabo Verde, procurando analisar a sua perceção sobre a implementação e a u...
