Remote access thyroid surgery demand has increased due to the burden of a visible neck scar. Several surgical techniques have been proposed over the years. We report the surgical modified technique of a robotic unilateral axillo-breast approach (R-UABA) gas-insufflated hemithyroidectomy without hyperextension of the arm. This approach combines the advantages of the use of the robotic platform, to the use of a t...

Introduction: Identifying and preserving the recurrent laryngeal nerve is essential in thyroid surgery. Nerve Intraoperative Monitoring aids with this task and helps predict post-operative prognosis. Case Description: A 64-year-old male undergoes a Total Thyroidectomy with central and left lymphadenectomy for papillary thyroid cancer with intra-operative neuro-monitoring. Discussion: One of the most dread...
In the scope of the Doctoral Programme in Design, this article is based on research within the broader design domain, specifically focusing on fashion design. The study was driven by the FUSION project (Fashion Up-Skilling Innovation Open Network), developed through the Creative Europe programme. To promote sustainability and digitalisation within the fashion sector, the project brought collaborated researchers...
ABSTRACT - Introduction: Parathyroid adenoma is the most frequent cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. In recent years, the preoperative location of parathyroid adenomas allowed minimally invasive surgical techniques that have become preferred over traditional bilateral neck exploration. The more recent guidelines on this subject highlight the role of nuclear medicine imaging tests. The aim of this study was t...
Among the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids is now a rising concern in wildlife within Europe, after the detection of the first case in Norway in 2016, in a wild reindeer and until June 2022 a total of 34 cases were described in Norway, Sweden and Finland. The definite diagnosis is post-mortem, performed in target areas of the brain and lymph nodes. Sampl...
Este estudo configura-se importante para os gestores, pois é uma mais-valia perceber como os gestores dos Centros de Fitness devem gerir e direcionar os seus recursos humanos de forma a melhorar os resultados organizacionais. Permite ainda que sejam aplicadas as PGRH mais adequadas que possibilitem recrutar, fidelizar e motivar os colaboradores, de forma a diminuir a rotatividade e promover um ambiente laboral ...
