An algorithm for the assignment and scheduling of tasks in human-robot collabor...
Pereira, Joana; Pimentel, Carina Maria Oliveira; Santos, VítorTo face the challenge of increasing productivity while having flexibility, collaborative robots can help manufacturing or assembly systems. However, it is essential to assign and schedule tasks between humans and robots to provide a successful Human-Robot Collaboration while considering the agents’ potential and limitations. Thus, the main goal and contribution of this paper is to present an algorithm inspired ...
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Mass Spectrometry Proteomics Applied to ...
Rodrigues, João E.; Martinho, Ana; Santa, Cátia; Madeira, Nuno; Coroa, Manuel; Santos, Vítor; Martins, Maria J.; Pato, Carlos N.; Macedo, AntónioMass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques can be a powerful tool to identify neuropsychiatric disorder biomarkers, improving prediction and diagnosis ability. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of MS proteomics applied to human peripheral fluids of schizophrenia (SCZ) patients to identify disease biomarkers and relevant networks of biological pathways. Following PRISMA guidelines, a search was performed for studies t...
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on MS-Based Proteomics Applied to Human Per...
Rodrigues, Joao E.; Martinho, Ana; Santos, Vítor; Santa, Cátia; Madeira, Nuno; Martins, Maria J.; Pato, Carlos N.; Macedo, António; Manadas, BrunoBipolar disorder (BD) is a clinically heterogeneous condition, presenting a complex underlying etiopathogenesis that is not sufficiently characterized. Without molecular biomarkers being used in the clinical environment, several large screen proteomics studies have been conducted to provide valuable molecular information. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques can be a powerful tool for the identification of d...
Applying the SMED Methodology to Tire Calibration Procedures
Santos, Vítor; Sousa, Vitor F. C.; Silva, Francisco J. G.; Matias, João C. O.; Costa, Rúben D.; Pinto, Arnaldo; Campilho, RaulDue to the automotive industry’s strict demands, customers submit constant production pressure, leading to the adoption of new methodologies, techniques, and management ideas. The goal is always to minimise losses and waste. These demands also affect the maintenance department, which has to keep the balance between machines’ availability for production and ensuring that the machines’ proper running conditions t...
Folic acid, vitamin B12, and psychotic symptoms among young psychiatric inpatients
dos Reis, Filipa Pedro; Duarte, Luísa; Cartaxo, Teresa; Santos, VítorIntroduction: Folic acid and/or vitamin B12 deficiency are known to be associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the association between serum levels of these molecules and psychotic symptoms is not established. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between folic acid and vitamin B12 serum levels and the presence of psychotic symptoms among child and young adult psychiatric inpatie...
Decrease in Stigma Towards Mental Illness in Portuguese Medical Students After ...
Queirós, Rita Vilar; Santos, Vítor; Madeira, NunoStigma towards mental illness is considered a key obstacle to the provision of medical care to psychiatric patients. This is not only present in the general population but also among healthcare professionals. Therefore, medical students could be a target population for stigma prevention measures. The aim of this study is to assess the evolution of the attitudes of medical students from the Faculty of Medicine o...

Risk Calculators in Bipolar Disorder: A Systematic Review
Ribeiro, Joana Silva; Pereira, Daniela; Salagre, Estela; Coroa, Manuel; Santos Oliveira, Pedro; Santos, Vítor; Madeira, Nuno; Grande, IriaIntroduction: Early recognition of bipolar disorder improves the prognosis and decreases the burden of the disease. However, there is a significant delay in diagnosis. Multiple risk factors for bipolar disorder have been identified and a population at high-risk for the disorder has been more precisely defined. These advances have allowed the development of risk calculators to predict individual risk of conversi...
Respiratory Rehabilitation Gains in Persons with Respiratory Insufficiency Subm...
Reis, Cheila; Tânia, Leite; Fonseca, César; Santos, VítorAbstract Introduction: Respiratory insufficiency as a condition associated with respiratory disease, whether acute or chronic, conditions and decreases person’s quality of life. Noninvasive ventilation therapy (NIV) plays a key role in the stabilization of respiratory disease, which translates into evident gains for the patient. These will be greater when associated with respiratory rehabilitation therapy. The ...
