Sternal Mass: A Rare Case of Primary Hodgkin Lymphoma of The Bone

Sternal tumour lesions remain a challenge in clinical practice. Due to multiple etiologies, it can be difficult to diagnose primary bone Hodgkin lymph, often misdiagnosed as tuberculosis or eosinophilic granuloma. The authors report the case of a 32-year-old patient with non-specific sternal chest pain that had lasted approximately one year as the initial presentation of primary Hodgkin lymphoma of the sternum,...

Impact of the First Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Telestroke Network Perform...

Introduction: Although scarce, regional telestroke networks have been developed worlwide in the last few decades. The COVID-19 pandemic put the healthcare system under exceptional pressure. We aimed to assess the impact of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic on the telestroke network performance in the central region of mainland Portugal. Methods: Retrospective multicenter cohort study including the eight h...

Doença renal crónica: um guia prático (ACT-NAU)

A doença renal crónica (DRC) é um importante problema de saúde pública que está associada ao aumento da morbimortalidade global e é um fator de risco significativo para a doença cardiovascular. A prevalência da DRC tem aumentado exponencialmente em todo o mundo. A sua prevalência em Portugal é de 20,9% nos estádios 1 a 5 da DRC e de 9,8% para os estádios ≥G3a/A1 da DRC, pelo que é de extrema importância que est...

The potential of digital nomadism for tourism development in Alentejo

The concept of digital nomad became popular with the work of Makimoto and Manners (1997), who started the (scientific) discussion about new lifestyles in which professionals move freely, without having geographically fixed spaces and workplaces. The emergence of conceptualising digital nomads is associated with a set of societal changes arising from the phenomenon of globalisation, and the digital economy (Jaco...

Agile teaching methodology

The primary purpose of this guide is to introduce teachers of non-computer science courses to the specifics of ATML. This handbook presents an approach slightly modified from the original ATML to make it more useful for teaching courses related to the bioeconomy, that is, courses that are interdisciplinary in nature. Interdisciplinary teaching poses a major challenge for the teacher in itself. An approach to di...

A lab-made e-nose-MOS device for assessing the bacterial growth in a solid cult...

The detection and level assessment of microorganisms is a practical quality/contamination indicator of food and water samples. Conventional analytical procedures (e.g., culture methods, immunological techniques, and polymerase chain reactions), while accurate and widely used, are time-consuming, costly, and generate a large amount of waste. Electronic noses (E-noses), combined with chemometrics, provide a direc...

Multiproxy characterization of high energy layers in the nner continental shelf...

The occurrence of sedimentary layers indicating high energy events is common in the continental shelves sedimentary record. Their presence has been usually related either to tsunami waves or storm waves. In both cases, the identification of the transport mechanism requires a variety of proxies. This work presents the preliminary results of the analysis of a gravity core (MW-107) collected at ca. 57 m water dept...

Métodos e dados visuais em Investigação Qualitativa: Natureza, Função e Exemplo...

O contexto social nos dias de hoje profundamente marcado por uma cultura visual torna o universo da imagem omnipresente. Partindo desta premissa, toda a representação visual tem potencial para ser estudada e analisada em projetos de investigação qualitativa, permitindo ‘visualizar’ as dimensões intangíveis da atividade humana. Um estudo que utilize dados visuais pode ser revelador de novas perspetivas que muita...
