Assessment of anatomical changes by pulmonary Angio-CT resulting from pulmonary...
Costa, I.; Ribeiro, Luís Pedro; Caldeira Lagem Abrantes, António Fernando; do Espírito Santo Rodrigues, Sónia Isabel; Pinheiro, João; Azevedo, K. B.PTE (Pulmonary Thromboembolism) is the third most common cause of cardiovascular death, with more than 600,000 cases per year in the US. This pathology has a wide spectrum of presentations and severity, with some patients experiencing shock, requiring urgent thrombolysis, while others can be safely treated on an outpatient basis with anticoagulation treatments alone (John, Marti Poletti, Perrier, 2014). The deg...
Ultrasound assessment of the posterior tibial tendon in horse riders
Martinho, J.; Ribeiro, Luís Pedro; do Espírito Santo Rodrigues, Sónia Isabel; Caldeira Lagem Abrantes, António Fernando; Vicente, B.; Pinheiro, JoãoThe issue centers on posterior tibial tendon (PTT) injuries in equestrians, caused by physical strain leading to tendon alterations. Ultrasound, a non-invasive technique, is essential for detailed musculoskeletal injury evaluation. The PTT connects the posterior tibial muscle to the ankle, stabilizing the foot’s arch and guiding movement. Injuries, common in show jumping, stem from overuse, trauma, biomechanica...
Bone indicators of the jaw measured by computed tomography for estimating age a...
Pinheiro, João; Coutinho, R.Age at death (AAD) estimation is a central focus of anthropological and archaeological analysis of human skeletal remains. Several confounding factors and specificities act on the environment in which they were deposited.This study tests the possibility of estimating AAD from archaeological specimens using a contemporary population sample with known biometric data as a reference, using computed tomography equip...
Occurrence and anthropogenic threats affecting humpback whales (Megaptera novae...
Gennari, Ginevra; Marçalo, Ana; Rodrigues, Alfredo; Magalhães, Sara; Abrantes, Gonçalo; Dias, André; Climaco, Rodrigo; Truluck, Steve; Pignata, EleonoraMigration is crucial behavior for many animals, allowing them to adapt their life history requirements to their environments' temporal and spatial variability (Kettemer et al. 2022). Among marine mammals, humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) stand out as a highly migratory species, and their survival is heavily reliant on established migratory routes (Kennedy et al. 2013; Peres dos Santos et al. 2022; Stone...
CT imaging: Analyzing jaw condyle bone density as a valuable indicator for age ...
Pinheiro, João; Godinho, R.The identification of attributes given by the skeleton of archaeology and anthropology presents challenges that qualitative or indirect methods show a considerable degree of standard error, both in children and mainly in adults.
Coastline evolution, submerged landscape, and island occupation: preliminary in...
Ogloblin Ramirez, Isaac; Galili, Ehud; Tryon, Christian A.; Antonioli, Fabrizio; Zaia, Sara E.; Carroll, Peyton; Niespolo, Elizabeth M.Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean and the closest to mainland Europe, holds some of the earliest uncontroversial evidence in the region of sustained island occupation by humans, dating back to ~16.5 thousand years ago (ka). Using archival studies as well as dive-based and coastal fieldwork, this study provides initial insights into the diversity of submerged and coastal Pleistocene–Holocene landsc...
Do virtual dissection tables add benefit to physycal models in anatomy educatio...
Pinheiro, João; Ribeiro, Luís Pedro; Magalhães Ribeiro, Anabela deHuman anatomy studies traditionally rely on cadaver dissection. However, advancements in technology, such as the 3D Anatomage virtual dissection table, have enhanced anatomy teaching. Despite its potential, there is limited information on the uses and benefits of the Anatomage table. Human anatomy is fundamental in learning the basic anatomy. It has traditionally been taught via cadaveric dissection and didacti...
Changes in bone mineral density in individuals with cerebral palsy
Viegas, M.; Ribeiro, Luís Pedro; Pinheiro, João; Vicente, B.; do Espírito Santo Rodrigues, Sónia Isabel; Caldeira Lagem Abrantes, António FernandoAccording to Scheinberg, et al. (2015) citing Bianchi ML. (2013) Cerebral Palsy (CP) is one of the most prevalent diseases within those that affect bone mass, and is often related to other pathologies such as osteoporosis. According to António, D., H., et al, (2020) citing NIH, (2002); WHO, (2003) osteoporosis is a pathology that involves others and is defined by the deterioration of bone tissue. In this way, w...
Non-destructive x-ray ct characterization of the antikythera mechanism: advance...
Pinheiro, João; Anselmo, L.; Luz, L.; Seiça, E.; Silva, L.; Gonçalves, R.; Petrouleas, N.To demonstrate how high-resolution X-ray computed tomography enables the non-destructive internal characterization of Fragment A of the Antikythera Mechanism, allowing the identification, three-dimensional reconstruction, and functional interpretation of concealed gears, structural components, and inscriptions despite extensive corrosion.
Comparing bone density and body mass in male adolescents: A contrast between so...
Pinheiro, João; Ribeiro, Luís Pedro; Silva, M.Physical activity seems to promote and benefit bone mass gains during growth for specific regions of the skeleton. Soccer has greater impact on specific regions of the pelvis and swimming on the upper limbs. Efforts should be made to encourage modification of all risk factors for osteoporosis early on life such as government policies to promote sports practice.
