Hallux valgus: images of surgical procedures and algorithmic approach

Different types and aetiologies of hallux valgus have been described, as well as several surgical procedures. Surgery outcome depends on correct bone alignment, placing first metatarsal over sesamoid bones, on joint congruity restoration and on soft tissues balancing. Despite surgical treatment, recurrence of deformity is common. Other foot problems may also coexist, such as hammer toe or flatfoot syndrome, me...

Energy savings via foreign direct investment? : empirical evidence from Portugal

This study runs a cointegration analysis on annual data from 1980 to 2007 to investigate the relationship between primary energy consumption, economic growth and net inflows of foreign direct investment with the Engle and Granger method, Stock-Watson dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS), the bounds testing approach to cointegration and error correction modelling. The empirical results suggest that there is a s...

Competitiveness of the tourism sector in Portugal: the case of Baixo Mondego an...

Our main objective is to analyze how a great, diverse tourism offer in a quite limited geographic area, corresponding to the Baixo Mondego and Baixo Vouga, can make it more competitive. We propose to identify the territorial factors that can increase competitiveness of the tourism sector, both regionally and nationally. We intend to identify the region‟s most valued aspects by visitors, as well as its least pra...

Ochratoxin A exposure assessment of the inhabitants of Lisbon during winter 200...

A survey on the occurrence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in 41 bread samples was carried out in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon. Maize (5) and wheat bread (36) and 43 representative urine samples from the Lisbon region were assayed for OTA levels using immunoaffinity column cleanup (IAC) and HPLC with fluorimetric detection (LC-FD). The percentage of OTA-positive samples was slightly higher for maize bread (80%) than wh...

Economic integration, international trade and the role of foreign direct invest...

This volume provides a significant contribution to the understanding of the effects of foreign direct investment on trade. Through an investigation of the pattern and determinants of trade in Portuguese manufacturing, it demonstrates FDI's long term transforming effect and how it has the potential to transfer and embed knowledge within the EU through upgrading host economies. The volume will be of interest to a...

The dynamic interactions between trade, foreign direct investment and economic ...

Problems of integration and globalisation and the implications of such processes on individual countries have been on the spotlight of the economic debate among economists and politicians over the last decade. Both developed and developing countries are involved in the processes of trade and capital liberalisation, with the extent of gain or loss depending on their ability to explore the newly arising opportuni...

Ochratoxin A contamination of bread – Portugal nationwide survey during winter ...

Ochratoxin A (OTA) remains one of the most important mycotoxins known, due to its ubiquitous occurrence, wide range of susceptible food commodities and observed toxic effects, in both animals and humans. The reported toxic effects include carcinogenic, nephrotoxic, teratogenic, neurotoxic and immunotoxic.

Ochratoxin A content in urine from Bragança and Alentejo: a compartive analysis...

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin which possesses a variety of toxic effects, including enzyme inhibition, immunosuppression, teratogenicity, nephrotoxicity, and carcinogenicity. It is produced by fungi for which foodstuffs such as beans, cereals, fruits, and seeds constitute an ideal growing media. It has proven itself at least partly resistant to food processing methods, meaning it is also present in derived ...
