Thermally stimulated desorption optical fiber-based interrogation system
Raposo, Maria; Xavier, Carlota; Monteiro, Catarina; Silva, Susana; Frazão, Orlando; Zagalo, Paulo; Ribeiro, Paulo AntónioM-ERA-NET2/0002/2016.; Thin graphene oxide (GO) film layers are being widely used as sensing layers in different types of electrical and optical sensor devices. GO layers are particularly popular because of their tuned interface reflectivity. The stability of GO layers is fundamental for sensor device reliability, particularly in complex aqueous environments such as wastewater. In this work, the stability of GO...

The 1918-19 influenza pandemic in Portugal
Nunes, Baltazar; Silva, Susana; Rodrigues, Ana; Roquette, Rita; Batista, Inês; Rebelo-de-Andrade, HelenaAlthough many archeo-epidemiological studies have assessed the mortality impact of the 1918-19 influenza pandemic, detailed estimates are not available for Portugal. We applied negative binomial models to monthly mortality data from respiratory and all-causes at the national and district-level from Portugal, 1916-1922. Influenza-related excess mortality was computed as the difference between observed and expect...
Comparison between influenza coded primary care consultations and national infl...
Páscoa, Rosália; Rodrigues, Ana Paula; Silva, Susana; Nunes, Baltazar; Martins, CarlosInfluenza is associated with severe illness, death, and economic burden. Sentinel surveillance systems have a central role in the community since they support public health interventions. This study aimed to describe and compare the influenza-coded primary care consultations with the reference index of influenza activity used in Portugal, General Practitioners Sentinel Network, from 2012 to 2017. An ecological ...
Excess pneumonia and influenza hospitalizations associated with influenza epide...
Rodrigues, Emanuel; Machado, Ausenda; Silva, Susana; Nunes, BaltazarBackground: The aim of this study was to estimate excess pneumonia and influenza (P&I) hospitalizations during influenza epidemics and measure their correlation with influenza vaccine coverage in the 65 and more years old, according to the type/subtype of influenza virus. Methods: The study period comprised week 40/1998-40/2015. Age-specific weekly P&I hospitalizations (ICD-9: 480-487) as main diagnosis were ex...
Public and patient involvement in needs assessment and social innovation
De Freitas, Cláudia; Dos Reis, Vanessa; Silva, Susana; Videira, Paula A.; Morava, Eva; Jaeken, JaakSem PDF. POPH Programme (SFRH/BPD/111344/ 2015 (CF); IF/01674/2015 (SS)); Background: Public and patient involvement in the design of people-centred care and research is vital for communities whose needs are underserved, as are people with rare diseases. Innovations devised collectively by patients, caregivers, professionals and other members of the public can foster transformative change toward more responsive...
Prevalence of the Janus kinase 2 V617F mutation in Philadelphia‑negative myelop...
Azevedo, Ana Paula; Silva, Susana; Reichert, Alice; Lima, Fernando; Júnior, Esmeraldina; Rueff, JoseMyeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) result from the malignant transformation of a hematopoietic stem‑cell (HSC), leading to abnormal amplification and proliferation of myeloid lineages. Identification of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) V617F mutation developed the knowledge of Philadelphia‑negative (PN)‑MPNs, contributing to and influencing the definition of the phenotype and prognostic impact. Considering the lack o...
