Neurolymphomatosis as primary presentation of extra-nodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, n...

Neurolymphomatosis (NL) describes an infiltration of cranial and peripheral nerves by lymphoma cells, most frequently in non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma. This clinical entity is rare and poses a challenging diagnosis. We describe a case of a 64-year-old female patient with NL associated with extra-nodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL), nasal type, presenting as a painful progressive mononeuropathy multiplex with an oral...

Rastreio do Cancro do Pulmão em Portugal: Um Projeto Piloto da PULMONALE

Effect of carbon nanofibers on the viscoelastic response of carbon/epoxy compos...

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates nano-enhanced with carbon nanofibers (CNFs): 0.75 wt% and 0.5 wt% of epoxies Sicomin and Ebalta, respectively, were manufactured and their static and viscoelastic behaviour analyzed. After 180 min, the bending stress decreases and creep displacement increases over time, with Ebalta nano-enhanced resin laminates with CNFs showing the best results. A strong depende...

Review of Piezoelectrical Materials Potentially Useful for Peripheral Nerve Repair

It has increasingly been recognized that electrical currents play a pivotal role in cell migration and tissue repair, in a process named "galvanotaxis". In this review, we summarize the current evidence supporting the potential benefits of electric stimulation (ES) in the physiology of peripheral nerve repair (PNR). Moreover, we discuss the potential of piezoelectric materials in this context. The use of these ...

Experience and Learning from the COVID-19 Pandemic in Portugal: Perceptions of ...

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, community pharmacy (CP) professionals were among those who experienced the greatest risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2, which forced major adaptations. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to describe the changes implemented in CP professionals during the pandemic, understand the perception of professionals about their experience, and explore changes to remain. Meth...

An Interactive WebGIS Integrating Environmental Susceptibility Mapping in a Sel...

Mining activities promote resulting wastes, so coal mines are prone to release contaminants to the environment, namely to the soil and water. Therefore, the analysis of this type of risk is crucial in waste pile management. The Sao Pedro da Cova (Porto, Portugal) coal waste pile has been studied in recent years, with several data acquired from 2019-2021 under a research project using distinct methodologies. The...

The Importance of Design in the Development of a Portable and Modular Iot-Based...

The integration of human factors engineering methods within the medical device design and development process has been highlighted by international standards organizations. Such methods are contributing to the development of safer medical devices, more suitable to users' needs. Errors during device operation might hamper effective patient diagnosis and treatment, or eventually lead to injury or death. Thus, the...

Parâmetros do exercício na lombalgia gestacional: revisão sistemática

Durante a gravidez, a mulher experiencia mudanças fisiológicas e biomecânicas, podendo resultar em lombalgia e diminuição da atividade física e capacidade funcional. Identificar os parâmetros do exercício na redução da lombalgia e da incapacidade funcional da gestante, sem complicações obstétricas. Pesquisa de estudos publicados entre janeiro de 2013 e 26 de junho de 2018 nas bases de dados e motores de busca P...

Perforated Meckel's Diverticulum in an Adult

Meckel's diverticulum is the commonest congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Its complications have an extensive variety of clinical and imaging manifestations, extending from benign and indolent findings to acute life-threatening conditions. Complicated Meckel's diverticulum often constitutes a challenging diagnosis for both the clinician and the radiologist. Therefore, imaging techniques play an i...
