New Methodologies and Techniques for Biomonitoring Pesticide Exposure in Agricu...

Biomonitoring allows for the assessment of internal exposure to various pesticides and metabolites. Following PRISMA guidelines, this systematic review aims to summarise innovative biomonitoring techniques for assessing pesticide exposure in agricultural workers, their advantages and limitations, and their applicability. The search of the Medline/PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science databases ident...

Analysis of Health Effects Reported by Agricultural Workers and the Adverse Hum...

Human pesticide exposure remains a significant issue, impacting both the environment and human health. Occupational pesticide exposure is primarily linked to improper worker practices, often due to a lack of knowledge or difficulty interpreting label information and other technical aspects of pesticide application. This systematic review aims to identify the pesticides most used by agricultural workers, the sym...

Técnica Transfisária Parcial para Plastia do Ligamento Cruzado Anterior em Idad...

With more and more children participating in competitive sports at younger and younger ages, we have seen an increase in the incidence and diagnosis of intrasubstance ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament. As in adults, the instability of the ligaments predisposes children to a potential risk of meniscos and chondral injuries with consequent early degenerative alterations. The timely treatment of these inj...

Benefits of radial distortion correction in arthroscopic surgery: a first exper...

BACKGROUND: Lens probes used in arthroscopy typically have a small diameter and wide field-of-view. This introduces strong radial distortion (RD) into the image, ultimately affecting the surgeon's hand-eye coordination. This study evaluates potential benefits of using distortion-free images in arthroscopic surgery. METHODS: Distortion-free images were obtained using RDFixer™ software (Perceive3D, SA) to remove ...

Neuropatia compressiva do nervo supraescapular

Introdução: a neuropatia compressiva do nervo supraescapular foi descrita pela primeira vez em 1952 mas só recentemente tem sido mais compreendida e diagnosticada. A sua etiologia nem sempre é clara e o seu diagnóstico ainda não está bem estabelecido. O tratamento é controverso, especialmente a opção pela libertação artroscópica. Esta técnica tem sido cada vez mais utilizada mas, apesar dos bons resultados rela...

Giant knee “ganglion”—a case report

Osteochondral transplantation using autografts from the upper tibio-fibular joi...

PURPOSE: Treatment of large cartilage lesions of the knee in weight-bearing areas is still a controversy and challenging topic. Autologous osteochondral mosaicplasty has proven to be a valid option for treatment but donor site morbidity with most frequently used autografts remains a source of concern. This study aims to assess clinical results and safety profile of autologous osteochondral graft from the upper ...
