Depression, Loneliness and Quality of Life in Institutionalised and Non-Institu...

Our study aims to estimate the prevalence of depressive symptomatology among older adults and to assess their association with loneliness and quality of life according to institutionalisation status in a Portuguese sample. Background: The World Health Organisation estimates that by 2050, the world’s population over 60 will number two billion people, which poses complex challenges in terms of maintaining the men...

The versatility of NADES across applications

Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) are produced by combining natural compounds, such as sugars, amino acids, or organic acids, to form a liquid at room temperature. Compared to other solvents, NADES own several strengths, including cost-effectiveness, ease of preparation, tunable properties, biorenewability, and biodegradability, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial sectors. Research on NADES...

NUTRI-YOUNG: impacto dos contextos socioeconómicos nos hábitos alimentares, est...

INTRODUÇÃO: A estruturação de comportamentos promotores de saúde, mas também de risco ocorre frequentemente na adolescência, assim como alterações na composição e imagem corporais. Estas modificações têm um papel determinante na saúde e qualidade de vida futura, pelo que a sua quantificação é essencial. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar comportamentos alimentares e outros estilos de vida de alunos do ensino secundário, a sati...

Prospective Study of Loss of Health-Related Quality Adjusted Life Years in Chil...

Introduction and aims: Although usually benign, varicella can lead to serious complications and sometimes long-term sequelae. Vaccines are safe and effective but not yet included in immunisation programmes in many countries. We aimed to quantify the impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in terms of quality-adjusted life years (QALY) in children with varicella and their families, key to assessing cost...

Intervenção do Enfermeiro de Reabilitação na Capacitação da Pessoa com Insufici...

A Insuficiência Cardíaca (IC) afeta 26 milhões de pessoas, com custos elevados devido à redução da qualidade de vida, aumento do sofrimento e mortalidade. A evidência científica realça que programas de capacitação e reabilitação cardiovascular diminuem hospitalizações (Fonseca 2018). Capacitar a pessoa para a gestão da IC (Geral), aumentar a literacia em saúde, implementar um plano educacional e de reabilitação...

Pneumonectomy in a Child with Necrotic Lung after Ingestion of a Button Battery

Epstein-Barr virus encephalitis presenting with brain mass lesions in a patient...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) disease of central nervous system (CNS) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients is mostly associated with primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL). In patients who cannot undergo biopsy and have typical clinical and radiographic findings, detection of EBV deoxyribonucleic acid in CSF may provide enough evidence to start treatment for PCNSL. Here, we described a case of EBV encephalitis prese...

Prostate cancer treatment in Portugal: a nationwide analysis

Different treatment options exist for localized prostate cancer. Treatments performed in high-volume hospitals are associated with better results. Our objective was to describe time trends in prostate cancer treatments in Portugal and case volume per hospital. We used the national database of diagnosis-related group of the Portuguese Central Administration of the Health System to describe the number of radical ...

Predicting Function Delay with a Machine Learning Model: Improve the Long-term ...

The impact of delayed graft function on outcomes following various solid organ transplants is well documented and addressed in the literature. Delayed graft function following various solid organ transplants is associated with both short- and long-term graft survival issues. In a retrospective cohort study including 106 patients we evaluated whether pancreas graft survival differs according to moment of insulin...

Road verges ensure connectivity for small mammals: a case study with wood mouse...

Roads disrupt landscape connectivity for many terrestrial mammals. These infrastructures can be barriers to movement thereby threatening population persistence. Nonetheless, small mammals may use road verges as habitat or corridor, thus increasing migration across intensively managed landscapes. However, in well-preserved habitats where road verges show a similar vegetation structure to surrounding areas, their...
