Safety in the Preparation and Administration of Medication: Implementation of a...
Vieira, Joana; Diniz, Ana; Santos, AnaIntroduction: Incidents can occur at any stage of the medication circuit. Preparation and administration are critical moments, as the occurrence of an error can lead to serious consequences for the patient. An independent double-check is a complementary safety strategy that involves the verification of medication by two professionals at different times. Objective/s: Increase safety in the preparation and admini...
A critical thermal transition driving spring phenology of Northern Hemisphere c...
Huang, Jian-Guo; Zhang, Yaling; Wang, Minhuang; Yu, Xiaohan; Deslauriers, Annie; Fonti, Patrick; Liang, Eryuan; Mäkinen, Harri; Oberhuber, WalterDespite growing interest in predicting plant phenological shifts, advanced spring phenology by global climate change remains debated. Evidence documenting either small or large advancement of spring phenology to rising temperature over the spatio-temporal scales implies a potential existence of a thermal threshold in the responses of forests to global warming. We collected a unique data set of xylem cell-wall-t...
A Social pressure on young people at the start of their careers
Vieira, JoanaThe permanent socio-economic instability that is experienced in many countries, especially in Portugal, with increasing unemployment rates, especially in the younger age group, increases the social pressure that young people succumb to when beginning their careers and joining the professional sector. In this article, I present a summary analysis of (....) news items published by the media in Portugal, as well a...
Exploring the correlations between epi indicators of COVID-19 and the concentra...
Silva, Ana Rita Pereira; Mesquita, D. P.; Duarte, Maria Salomé Lira; Pereira, M. Fernando R.; Alves, M. M.; Monteiro, Sílvia; Santos, RicardoThe COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus led to changes in the lifestyle and human behaviour, which resulted in different consumption patterns of some classes of pharmaceuticals including curative, symptom-relieving, and psychotropic drugs. The trends in the consumption of these compounds are related to their concentrations in wastewater systems, since incompletely metabolised drugs (or their metabo...

Moyamoya Syndrome or Fibromuscular Dysplasia? A Complex Case of Pediatric Stroke
Marques, Joana; Vieira, Joana; Luís, CatarinaMoyamoya disease and fibromuscular dysplasia are two arteriopathies that can cause stroke in pediatric age. These have been proposed to have the same pathological basis and cases of moyamoya disease with extracranial involvement have overlapping clinical features to those seen in fibromuscular dysplasia. A heterogenous genetic component is thought to play a part in both and some genes have shown simultaneous as...
Influência da desfolha, em diferentes estados fenológicos, na maturação da cast...
Vieira, Joana; Silva-Lopes, Joana; Mira, HelenaO trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a influência da desfolha, em diferentes estados fenológicos, na maturação da casta Aragonez. O ensaio foi realizado na região vitivinícola do Tejo, numa vinha com 20 anos da casta Aragonez, da Quinta do Casal Branco. Na parcela foram definidos quatro blocos, cada um deles com três modalidades de ensaio: desfolha à floração (DF), desfolha ao pintor (DP) e sem desfolha (SD). ...
Environment Controls Seasonal and Daily Cycles of Stem Diameter Variations in P...
Vieira, Joana; Campelo, Filipe; Nabais, CristinaTree growth takes place at different time scales ranging from hours to days. To understand growth responses to climate, continuous high-resolution measurements of tree diameter variations are needed, which are usually obtained with automatic dendrometers. Here, we monitored stem diameter increment of Quercus faginea Lambert growing in central Portugal to determine the effect of climate on daily and seasonal gro...

Fiuza, Manuela; Magalhaes, Andreia; Menezes, Miguel Nobre; Costa, Paula; Ribeiro, Maria Leonor; Marques, Catarina; Brás, Raquel; Vieira, JoanaIntroduction: Heart disease and cancer are the two leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Advances in cancer screening and management have led to longer survival and better quality of life. Despite this progress, many cancer patients experience cardiovascular complications during and after cancer treatment. This study describes the experience of a cardio-oncology program at tertiary academic hospi...
Economic sustainability models in Portuguese Social Organisations: mobilisation...
Vieira, Joana; Parente, CristinaEconomic sustainability - as a concept that embodies the balance between efficiency in the execution of a mission and the ability to mobilise and obtain resources for its fulfilment - currently materialises one of the main challenges of social organisations. From a theoretical point of view, the approaches of social entrepreneurship (e.g. Dees, 1998) and social innovation (e.g. Mulgan, 2012), tend to target the...
