The non-abelian Hodge correspondence maps a polystable $\textrm{SL}(2, {\mathbb{R}})$-Higgs bundle on a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g \geq 2$ to a connection that, in some cases, is the holonomy of a branched hyperbolic structure. Gaiotto's conformal limit maps the same bundle to a partial oper, that is, to a connection whose holonomy is that of a branched complex projective structure compatible with ...
Introduction: The Centro de Estudos do Bebé e da Criança in Hospital Dona Estefânia has organized a multidisciplinary model for children under three with suspected autism spectrum disorder, thus implementing the recent guidelines established by the Directorate General for Health. The aim of this study is to describe this model and case series. Material and methods: A retrospective descriptive study of observed ...

INTRODUCTION: The standard of care for acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) includes the activation of a STEMI care network, the administration of adjuvant medical therapy, and reperfusion through primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). While primary PCI is nowadays the first option for the treatment of patients with STEMI, antithrombotic therapy, including antiplatelet and anticoagulant a...
INTRODUCTION: Coronary intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is increasingly important in catheterization laboratories due to its positive prognostic impact. This study aims to characterize the use of IVUS in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Portugal. METHODS: A retrospective observational study was performed based on the Portuguese Registry on Interventional Cardiology of the Portuguese Society of Cardiol...
Background Anthropometry and body composition are plausible influences on pediatric sagittal standing posture. Despite that, the relationship of anthropometrics since birth and body composition with individual postural parameters in children has never been assessed. Research question To assess the associations between anthropometrics since birth and body composition parameters, and angles of sagittal standing p...
Purpose We aimed to describe bone formation and resorption markers in generally healthy prepubertal children using total alkaline phosphatase (tALP), osteocalcin (OC) and β-isomerized C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (β-CTx) serum concentrations and to estimate markers’ correlations with anthropometric growth (height, weight, body mass index and trajectories of weight gain) as well as bone mineral con...
