At the same time, it was an ecological refuge whose diversity of resources and landscapes allowed for cultural idiosyncrasies. Although research on the Palaeolithic in Portugal began in the 19th century, its knowledge is still scarce, ...
Introduction: Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS+HIPEC) is a locoregional surgical therapy applied in patients with peritoneal-only metastatic disease of primary abdominal malignancies and is associated with increased overall survival. Our goal was to evaluate short-term outcomes after CRS+HIPEC regarding surgical morbidity, as well as to identify factors associated with s...

Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is the most frequent thoracic venous anatomical variant in the general population. Isolated PLSVC, without formation of the right superior vena cava, is described in 10% of cases of PLSVC only. While it can be associated with congenital heart disease, arrhythmias, and premature death, adult patients with PLSVC are mostly asymptomatic, and the diagnosis is usually accid...
Since the 19th century, the Lower Tejo River (western Iberia) provide extensive evidence of Neanderthal occupation. However, due to the absence of long-term, well-funded projects and of fully-equipped research facilities, we still do not have a clear framework for the Neanderthal occupation of this crucial territory. Nowadays, probably more than ever, the increasing impact of urbanization and intensive agricult...
