Training people for inhalation therapy in rehabilitation program
Pinto, Mónica; Teixeira, Pedro; Alves, Lucília; Sebastião, Cátia; Henriques, Ana FilipaIntroduction: The constant development of therapies associated with different inhalation devices, driven by the need to meet the requirements of people with respiratory conditions, positions the inhalation route as the first treatment option. The Specialist Nurse in Rehabilitation Nursing (SNRN) plays a crucial role in prevention, health education, treatment, and rehabilitation, thereby enhancing the individual...
Development and Validation of the “Physical Functional Impact Index on Chronic ...
Antunes, Filipe; Sousa, Nuno; Teixeira, PedroIntroduction: The development and validation of reliable and valid instruments to assess chronic pain and its impact on daily functioning are crucial in both clinical and research settings. The aim of this study was to develop and validate the scale ‘Physical Function Impact Index on Chronic Pain’ – PFIICP, a novel 12-item questionnaire designed to evaluate the physical functional impact on chronic pain.Methods...
Muography Applied in Underground Geological Surveys: Ongoing Work at the Lousal...
Teixeira, Pedro; Blanco, Alberto; Caldeira, Bento; Tomé, Bernardo; Alexandre, Isabel; Matos, João; Silva, Jorge; Borges, José; Cazon, LorenzoThe LouMu Project is an ongoing collaboration between the Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics (LIP), the Institute of Earth Sciences—University of Évora and the Lousal Ciência Viva Center which is evaluating the muography potential in the Lousal Mine, with the general aim to create the conditions to use muography as a novel method for geophysical surveys in Portugal. The National Lab...
Muon tomography with Resistive Plate Chambers for geological characterization
Sarmento, Raul; Castro, Alberto Blanco; Caldeira, Bento; Tomé, Bernardo; Loureiro, Custódio; Clemêncio, Filomena; Costa, João; Matos, JoãoMuon tomography is one of several fields of applied physics that have witnessed the successful use of particle detection based on Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC). In this work, we report on an innovative project concerning transmission muography for geological characterization. For this purpose, a muon telescope built of four RPC planes was mounted on an adjustable structure and the telescope's response to atmos...
Optical study of soil samples contaminated by heavy metals from the São Domingo...
Oliveira, Rui Jorge; Teixeira, Pedro; Caldeira, Bento; Borges, José Fernando; Costa, Maria João; Bortoli, Daniele; Potes, Miguel; Rodrigues, GonçaloThe study of soils contaminated by heavy metals (HMs) is a hard task that implies the collecting of soil samples in an area representative of the contaminated space. For example, for water samples, the law requires the creation of a study grid with 5 ha spacing. Considering this spacing requirement, to the soil from the São Domingos Mine, that have an area of approximately 2000 ha, we need to collect 400 sample...

Genetic Complexity of CC5 Isolates Associated with Sternal Bursitis in Chickens...
Silva, Vanessa; Ribeiro, Jessica; Teixeira, Pedro; Pinto, Pedro; Vieira-Pinto, Madalena; Poeta, Patrícia; Caniça, Manuela; Igrejas, GilbertoSternal bursitis, a common inflammatory condition in poultry, poses significant challenges to both animal welfare and public health. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, and genetic characteristics of isolates associated with sternal bursitis in chickens. Ninety-eight samples were collected from affected chickens, and 24 isolates were identified. Antimicrobial susceptibility...

Development of a theory and evidence-based digital intervention tool for weight...
Marques, Marta; Matos, Marcela; Mattila, Elina; Encantado, Jorge; Duarte, Cristiana; Teixeira, Pedro; Stubbs, James; Sniehotta, Falko; Ermes, MiikkaBackground: Many weight loss programs show short-term effectiveness, but subsequent weight loss maintenance is difficult to achieve. Digital technologies offer promising means to delivering behaviour change approaches at low cost and on a wide scale. The NoHoW project was a European Commission H2020-funded project aimed to develop, test, and evaluate a digital Toolkit designed to promote successful long-term we...
