In over 500 human cadaveric dissections of arms and forearms, performed to the present date, we find frequent anatomical variations, corresponding to classic descriptions. Last year, we found a singular anatomic variation of the extensor muscles of the forearm, which seems previously undescribed. It is our strong belief that gross anatomy studies, and gross dissection should be updated and reintroduced in moder...
Montados are parkland forested areas of anthropogenic origin dominated by cork oak (Quercus suber) and/or holm oak (Q. rotundifolia). They are derived from natural Mediterranean forests, where the use of woodland products (timber, charcoal and cork) is combine with cereal crops and livestock grazing in the understory (Blondel and Aronson 1999). These use resulted in a singular “savanna” like land cover pattern ...
O Livro Verde dos Montados apresenta diversos objectivos que se interligam: Em primeiro lugar, o Livro Verde pretende reunir e sistematizar, de uma forma simples e acessível ao público, o conhecimento produzido em Portugal pelos investigadores e técnicos de várias instituições de investigação ou de gestão que estudam o Montado. Assume-se como uma oportunidade de caracterizar o sistema tendo em conta as suas vár...
As florestas de quercíneas do Sul de Portugal, enquanto sistemas agro-silvo-pastoris estão intimamente relacionadas com atividades humanas. Durante o período de nidificação, época em que os recursos alimentares e de habitat são mais limitantes para as espécies, as aves poderão ser mais sensiveis a essas atividades. Neste sentido pretendeu-se identificar qual a relevância da disponibilidade alimentar na abundânc...
In the southwest part of the Iberian Peninsula the dominant land-use are the Portuguese montados and Spanish dehesas, parkland forested areas of anthropogenic origin dominated by cork oak. They form a wooded matrix with open areas, scattered woodlands and undisturbed patches of Mediterranean forest and scrublands. The montados are characterized by a rich bird community. We have focus our study in a multidiscipl...
The importance of rice fields for bird conservation has been subject of several studies, mainly focused in core areas as habitat for waterbirds. However, significant parts of the rice field structure, like the irrigation channels that control the water level, are often neglected. These corridor-like areas are frequently characterized by the presence of riparian vegetation like willows and ashes or wetland veget...
Within the RIPIDURABLE Project*, birds were used to characterize ecosystems*, to monitor environmental changes and to assess results of restoration measures. Bird surveys were carried out at different space and time scales using standardised point count methods on 8 watercourses in Portugal and France. Several aspects of riparian breeding bird community variation were assessed: along a decreasing gradient of ve...
RIPIDURABLE is an INTERREG IIIC European Program involving 10 partners from Portugal, Spain, France and Greece. Scientists, technicians and local/regional authorities worked together to integrate knowledge, knowhow and practice, towards a rational conservation management of riparian zones. Birds can be used to characterize ecosystems, to monitor environmental changes or to assess results of restoration measures...
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a incidência de fístula e estenose da anastomose esofagogástrica cervical com invaginação do coto esofágico no interior do estômago na esofagectomia para tratamento do carcinoma do esôfago. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados dois grupos de doentes com carcinoma do esôfago torácico ou abdominal submetidos à esofagectomia subtotal e esofagogastroplastia. O grupo I (estudo) foi constituído por 29 doentes o...
Com o advento do século XVIII, e particularmente na segunda metade desta centúria1, o Cabido da Sé de Coimbra, como as demais instituições detentoras de poder económico e social, fruto do recrudescimento das lutas anti-senhoriais, viu-se a braços com um conjunto de demandas que perturbaram a paz e a orientação da instituição Capitular. Todavia, nenhum conflito foi tão desestabilizador da vida, da disciplina e d...
