Anti-corrosion and cytotoxicity properties of inorganic surface treatments on M...
Neves, CS; Sousa, I; Freitas, MA; Moreira, L; Costa, C; Teixeira, JP; Fraga, S; Silva, RM; Silva, RF; Starykevich, M; Scharnagl, N; Zheludkevich, MLIn this work biodegradable Mg1Ca alloy underwent surface modification using hydroxyapatite (HAp), aluminium oxide (Al2O3), and treatments with phosphoric (H3PO4), hydrofluoric (HF), and acetic (CH3COOH) acids. The resulting surface-treated Mg substrates were assessed in terms of phase content and chemical composition through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (GDOES). Addit...
Epidemiological and Clinical Aspects of Cutaneous and Mucosal Leishmaniases in ...
Rocha, R; Conceição, C; Gonçalves, L; Carvalho, AC; Maia, A; Martins, A; Carujo, A; Maio, A; Forra, C; Melita, C; Couto, D; Fernandes, D; Pereira, DLeishmania infantum, a zoonotic vector-born parasite, is endemic in the Mediterranean region, presenting mostly as visceral (VL), but also as cutaneous (CL) and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML). This study aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the CL and ML cases diagnosed in mainland Portugal between 2010 and 2020. Collaboration was requested from every hospital of the Portuguese National Hea...

Predicting Post-Discharge Complications in Cardiothoracic Surgery: a Clinical D...
Santos, R; Ribeiro, B; Sousa, I; Santos, J; Guede-Fernández, F; Dias, P; Carreiro, A; Gamboa, H; Coelho, P; Fragata, J; Londral, ACardiac surgery patients are highly prone to severe complications post-discharge. Close follow-up through remote patient monitoring can help detect adverse outcomes earlier or prevent them, closing the gap between hospital and home care. However, equipment is limited due to economic and human resource constraints. This issue raises the need for efficient risk estimation to provide clinicians with insights into ...
Setting Performance Indicators for Coastal Marine Protected Areas: An Expert-Ba...
Cardoso-Andrade, M; Queiroga, H; Rangel, M; Sousa, I; Belackova, A; Bentes, L; Oliveira, F; Monteiro, P; Sales Henriques, N; Afonso, CML; Silva, AFMarine Protected Areas (MPAs) require effective indicators to assess their performance, in compliance with the goals of relevant national and international commitments. Achieving and prioritizing shortlists of multidisciplinary indicators demands a significant effort from specialists to depict the multiple conservation and socioeconomic interests, and the large complexity of natural systems. The present paper d...

Minding your steps: a cross-sectional pilot study using foot-worn inertial sens...
Guimarães, V; Sousa, I; de Bruin, ED; Pais, J; Correia, MVBackgroundCognitive impairment is a critical aspect of our aging society. Yet, it receives inadequate intervention due to delayed or missed detection. Dual-task gait analysis is currently considered a solution to improve the early detection of cognitive impairment in clinical settings. Recently, our group proposed a new approach for the gait analysis resorting to inertial sensors placed on the shoes. This pilot...
Using shoe-mounted inertial sensors and stepping exergames to assess the motor-...
Guimarães, V; Sousa, I; de Bruin, ED; Pais, J; Correia, MVObjectiveStepping exergames designed to stimulate physical and cognitive skills can provide important information concerning individuals' performance. In this study, we investigated the potential of stepping and gameplay metrics to assess the motor-cognitive status of older adults. MethodsStepping and gameplay metrics were recorded in a longitudinal study involving 13 older adults with mobility limitations. Gam...

Insights into corrosion behaviour of uncoated Mg alloys for biomedical applicat...
Neves, CS; Sousa, I; Freitas, MA; Moreira, L; Costa, C; Teixeira, JP; Fraga, S; Pinto, E; Almeida, A; Scharnagl, N; Zheludkevich, ML; Ferreira, MGSMgCa and MgGd series of alloys are often reported as promising candidates for biomedical applications. In the present study, cytotoxicity and corrosion behavior of Mg1Ca and Mg10Gd alloys in different electrolytes (NaCl, PBS, MEM) have been investigated in order to make a direct comparison and understand the mechanisms behind their performance. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectros...
