Nowadays, fibre reinforced plastics are used in a wide variety of applications. Apart from the most known reinforcement fibres, like glass or carbon, natural fibres can be seen as an economical alternative. However, some mistrust is yet limiting the use of such materials, being one of the main reasons the inconsistency normally found in their mechanical properties. It should be noticed that these materials are ...
Due to recent population emigration movements, an epidemic of Chagas disease is currently menacing most developed countries. The authors report the case of a 53-year-old Brazilian woman living in Europe for the last 10 years who developed heart failure symptoms, having a previous symptomatic sinus node disease with a pacemaker implant at age of 40 years. The diagnosis was based on serology and myocardial biopsy...
Este trabalho de investigação pretende estudar o efeito da incorporação de fibras de resíduos da indústria têxtil nas argamassas de reboco e auscultar o potencial deste material compósito. Neste caso, os resíduos da indústria têxtil considerados são fios ou pedaços de tecido ou malhas, e poderão ter uma grande variabilidade material (e.g. composição, espessura, densidade, entre outras). Aspectos relacionados co...
The clinical efficacy of continuous infusion of piperacillin/tazobactam in critically ill patients with microbiologically documented infections is currently unknown. We conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study in 7 Portuguese intensive care units (ICU). We included 569 critically ill adult patients with a documented infection and treated with piperacillin/tazobactam admitted to one of the participatin...
Close to the Spanish Antarctic Station our research team drilled, at the 1999-2000 Antarctic campaign, a 2,30 m shallow borehole in quartzite bedrock. This borehole was instrumented with temperature data loggers (Tinytag model) that have allowed us to register the gradient thermal in a continuous regime evolution during the 2000-2011 period. The analysis of the temperature data allows to describe the temporal e...
Abstract: To determine RS prevalence, diagnosed at the Portuguese Primary Health Care Centres (PHCC), and to assess diagnostic and treatment practices. Study Design: Epidemiologic, cross-sectional study. Material and Methods:A cohort of subjects attending general practice medical appointments, in selected PHCC, was evaluated. Results: Between May/2008 and June/2009, 1,201 subjects were included with a mean age ...
