Hospital Protocol for Snakebite Victims Management

Venomous snakebites are relatively rare in Portugal. Pediatric victims present with greater severity and are at risk of fatal complications. Clinical management protocols are the gold standard of care worldwide. We report two cases of venomous adder bites in pediatric patients. Based on a literature review we also discuss the clinical management and present a treatment protocol that ensures multidisciplinary an...

Investigation of the in vivo genotoxic effects of a titanium dioxide nanomateri...

Titanium dioxide nanomaterials (TiO2) are increasingly used in a diversity of products, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food and inks, which contrasts with the existing uncertainties in respect to their risks for human and environment health. Previous studies on the genotoxicity of TiO2 reported discrepant findings, both in cellular and organismal systems. In a recent work, we showed that some nanosized T...

Religious and political conservatism and beliefs about same-sex parenting in Po...

Aim: During the last decade, there have been political changes regarding the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) individuals in Portugal, such as the right to marry. However, parenting by same-sex couples is not legally allowed. The purpose of this study was to assess Portuguese heterosexuals’ beliefs about same-sex parenting, and the role of religious and political conservatism in shaping ...

Urban design, public space and creative milieus: an international comparative a...

This paper explores the relation between urban design, publicspace appropriation and the informal dynamics verified on creative milieus,from an international comparative perspective. Based on an empirical approachto urban morphology, everyday life and symbolic public space appropriation onthose areas, ten cultural quarters around the world are studied: Bairro Alto(Lisbon); La Gracia (Barcelona); Vila Madalena (...

Criação da página web dos serviços de obstetrícia do Hospital Doutor José Maria...

A gravidez por si só é caracterizada por um conjunto de alterações a vários níveis, por isso torna-se de extrema importância criar meios que tragam respostas às dúvidas e receios da grávida/ casal. Com a internet surge uma nova forma de transmitir informação em várias áreas, inclusive na saúde. O presente trabalho descreve a criação da página web do serviço de obstetrícia do Hospital Doutor José Maria Grande in...

Tumor-targeted Chlorotoxin-coupled Nanoparticles for Nucleic Acid Delivery to G...

The present work aimed at the development and application of a lipid-based nanocarrier for targeted delivery of nucleic acids to glioblastoma (GBM). For this purpose, chlorotoxin (CTX), a peptide reported to bind selectively to glioma cells while showing no affinity for non-neoplastic cells, was covalently coupled to liposomes encapsulating antisense oligonucleotides (asOs) or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). T...

Mechanical, electrical and electro-mechanical properties of thermoplastic elast...

Composites of styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) block copolymer with multiwall carbon nanotubes were processed by solution casting to investigate the influence of filler content, the different ratios of styrene/butadiene in the copolymer and the architecture of the SBS matrix on the electrical, mechanical and electro-mechanical properties of the composites. It was found that filler content and elastomer matrix archi...

Electro-mechanical properties of triblock copolymer styrene-butadiene-styrene /...

Thermoplastic elastomer/carbon nanotube composites are studied for sensor applications due to their excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Piezoresisitive properties of tri-block copolymer styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)/ carbon nanotubes (CNT) prepared by solution casting have been investigated. Young modulus of the SBS/CNT composites increases with the amount of CNT filler content present in the sam...

Acordes de esperança: um projecto de música na comunidade no establecimento pri...

Acordes de Esperança é um projecto de Música na Comunidade desenvolvido com um grupo de cinco reclusos no Estabelecimento Prisional Regional de Aveiro durante o Verão de 2013. Ao longo de oito sessões desenvolvemos e criámos temas musicais originais, os quais foram apresentados num concerto ao vivo e gravados e editados em cd. O presente documento relata este trabalho, enquadrando-o no âmbito do universo da Mús...
