Obstetric violence assessment scale: development and validation
Tavares, Márcio; Alexandre-Sousa, Pedro; Carvalho, Sílvia; Loureiro, Susana; Mendes, JoséIntrodução: A violência obstétrica tem sido alvo de debate entre os profissionais de saúde e nos meios de comunicação social. Objetivo: Desenvolver e validar um instrumento para medir a perceção de violência obstétrica que as mulheres têm da experiência de trabalho de parto e parto. Métodos: Com base nas recomendações da WHO, elaborou-se uma escala composta por 38 afirmações. A avaliação das propriedades métric...
Factors influencing cessation of exclusive breastfeeding before six months of age
Carvalho, Sílvia; Rei, Patrícia; Moniz, Xénia; Santos, Ana Paula; Tavares, Márcio; Tavares, PatríciaBackground: Exclusive breastfeeding is crucial for infant health and development, but many factors can lead to its early cessation. Understanding these factors is essential for developing effective interventions. Objective: To identify and categorize the factors influencing the early cessation of exclusive breastfeeding before six months of age. Methods: This scoping review utilized the EbscoHost database aggre...
Tumor Recurrence versus Radiation-induced Stroke in a Child with a History of M...
Maia, Carolina; Pinto, Joana; Carvalho, Sílvia; Carvalho, Alice; Palavra, FilipeChildren with a history of central nervous system neoplasia, submitted to radiotherapy, have an increased risk of vascular complications that can be, clinically and imagiologically, very similar to a tumor recurrence. We describe the case of an 11-year-old child who, 10 years after diagnosis and treatment of a medulloblastoma, suddenly developed right hemiparesis. The initial imaging findings did not allow the ...
Assessing the climate change adaptability of sustainable land management practi...
van der Laan, Esther; Nunes, João Pedro; Dias, Luís Filipe; Carvalho, Sílvia; Mendonça dos Santos, FrancianeIn Mediterranean catchments, such as the Sorraia catchment in Portugal, it is expected that climate change will increase drought stress and the deterioration of water quality in reservoirs. Sustainable land management (SLM) practices are seen as an adaption measure for those problems, but the effectiveness on improving climate change impacted water availability and quality on catchment scale is still poorly und...
Binding and transport properties of a benzo[b]thiophene‐based mono‐(thio)urea l...
Moiteiro, Cristina; Marques, Igor; Ryder, William G.; Cachatra, Vasco; Carvalho, Sílvia; Chen, Li‐Jun; Goodfellow, Brian J.; Gale, Philip A.Using the chemical versatility of the benzo[b]thiophene motif, an extensive library of 24 (thio)urea receptors, with different binding properties and lipophilicities, was prepared and included α,α-, α,β-, β,β-, β,γ-, α,γ-, and γ,γ-benzo[b]thiophene positional isomers, as well as β- or γ-benzo[b]thiophene-based molecules decorated with aliphatic chains or aryl moieties with different fluorination degrees. 1H NMR...

Surface topography in machining Ti alloys for biomedical applications: correlat...
Carvalho, Sílvia; Horovistiz, Ana; Davim, J. PauloV-Free Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy may be an interesting candidate as a substitute to the traditional Ti-6Al-4V alloy on development of biomedical components. The inspection of surface integrity through digital microscopy techniques shows strong potential for comparative analysis and optimization of manufacturing processes. This work deals with the comparative analysis of turned surfaces of dual-phase (α+β) titanium alloy...

A changing Amazon rainforest: Historical trends and future projections under po...
Carvalho, Sílvia; Oliveira, André; Pedersen, Jiesper Strandsbjerg Tristan; Manhice, Halaze; Lisboa, Filipe; Norguet, Jérémy; Wit, FronikaDespite the progress in sustainable development strategies, the role of the Amazon rainforest as a carbon sink faces increasing disturbances that may have a critical impact on global climate. Understanding the vulnerability of the Amazon rainforest to climate change is a major challenge, considering the complex interaction between human and natural systems. This paper aims, via an interdisciplinary approach, to...
Comparison of surface topography in machining Ti alloys for biomedical applicat...
Carvalho, Sílvia; Horovistiz, Ana; Festas, A. J.; Davim, J. P.In the last decades, the demand for biocompatible materials has increased because they are widely selected to manufacture medical devices such as dental and surgical implants. The improvement of these materials used to fabricate biocomponents is a constant objective in research focused on reducing negative impacts on patients. Currently, the most commonly used metal alloy in the biomedical industry is Ti-6Al-4V...
