Health 'is not rocket science': the general, nutritional, and oral health liter...

Health literacy is a European public health challenge that should be taken seriously by policymakers, and the health literacy agenda in Europe needs to be accelerated. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers health literacy to be the level of knowledge, social skills, confidence, motivation, and competence to access, understand, and appraise health information.

Os Benefícios do Mindfulness para um envelhecimento saudável e sustentável

Introdução: O envelhecimento é inevitável, contudo envelhecer não significa necessariamente ausência de saúde. Normalmente, as medidas que promovem um envelhecimento saudável focam nos comportamentos físicos, alimentares e de estilo de vida, que podem permitir envelhecer com saúde. O mindfulness, tem benefícios biológicos, psicológicos e sociais comprovados, sendo por isso também de considerar, para melhor comp...

First report of Echinococcus ortleppi in free-living wild boar (Sus scrofa) fro...

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonosis that is prevalent worldwide. It is considered endemic in Portugal but few studies have been performed on Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato and their hosts. In this study, CE cysts are reported for the first time in a free-living wild boar (Sus scrofa) in Portugal. The presence of the metacestodes in the liver of the wild boar was identified by morphological features, mi...

The Importance of Autopsy in Early Neonatal Death in Portugal

Introduction: The early neonatal period is the most critical for the newborn’s life. The autopsy is important to understand the cause of death, and find other diagnoses not clinically identified. However, the rate of neonatal autopsy is declining worldwide. This study aims to characterize early neonatal death and the clinical importance of the autopsy, evaluating the concordance between clinical and pathologica...

PCR Detection of Toxoplasma gondii in European Wild Rabbit (Oryctolagus cunicul...

Wildlife plays an important role in the epidemiological cycle of Toxoplasma gondii. The European wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) can be a source of infection to wild and domestic hosts, including human beings. Additionally, as an herbivorous animal, the European wild rabbit may also be a sentinel of environmental contamination with T. gondii and, consequently, an indicator of the potential transmission of t...

First and second fundamental solutions of the time-fractional telegraph equatio...

In this work, we obtain the first and second fundamental solutions (FS) of the multidimensional time-fractional equation with Laplace or Dirac operators, where the two time-fractional derivatives of orders α ∈]0, 1] and β ∈]1, 2] are in the Caputo sense. We obtain representations of the FS in terms of Hankel transform, double Mellin- Barnes integrals, and H-functions of two variables. As an application, the FS ...
