Routine screening of harmful microorganisms in beach sands: implications to pub...

Beaches worldwide provide recreational opportunities to hundreds of millions of people and serve as important components of coastal economies. Beach water is often monitored for microbiological quality to detect the presence of indicators of human sewage contamination so as to prevent public health outbreaks associated with water contact. However, growing evidence suggests that beach sand can harbor microbes ha...

A comprehensive assessment of the transcriptome of cork oak (Quercus suber) thr...

Background: Cork oak (Quercus suber) is one of the rare trees with the ability to produce cork, a material widely used to make wine bottle stoppers, flooring and insulation materials, among many other uses. The molecular mechanisms of cork formation are still poorly understood, in great part due to the difficulty in studying a species with a long life-cycle and for which there is scarce molecular/genomic inform...

Tuberculose disseminada - um caso de difícil diagnóstico

Consumo de suplementos e outras substâncias em desportistas

Ao longo dos tempos os praticantes de exercício físico têm usado substâncias artificiais para aumentarem o seu rendimento e assim conseguirem vantagem desportiva. (1) Um dos grandes problemas associado a estas substâncias, no nosso país, é o facto de a maioria ser comercializada fora do circuito dos produtos farmacêuticos, sem qualquer controlo por parte do INFARMED (2) enquanto no Brasil todos os suplementos e...

Eficácia da Cola de Fibrina no Tratamento da Fístula Broncopleural

A prática da pleurodese com substâncias biológicas de características adesivas, tem sido utilizada correntemente em adultos com Fistula Broncopleural (FBP), no entanto, as referências relativas ao seu uso na idade pediátrica são muito escassas.Os autores apresentam um caso de encerramento, com sucesso, de FBP mediante pleurodese com cola de fibrina num recémnascido internado por pneumonia e pneumotórax, submeti...

Development of a Hybrid Simulation and Emulation Testbed For VANETs

In the area of Intelligent Transportation System traffic efficiency and safety for users have become very popular topics and have triggered extensive research in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). Traditional methods for reaserch anddevelopment like field testing and simulation have been used. But field testing is usually very expensive and simulation lacks accuracy in wireless environments.This article aims t...

Nuclear medicine training and practice in Portugal

Nuclear medicine in Portugal has been an autonomous speciality since 1984. In order to obtain the title of Nuclear Medicine Specialist, 5 years of training are necessary. The curriculum is very similar to the one approved under the auspices of the European Union of Medical Specialists, namely concerning the minimum recommended number of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. There is a final assessment, and dur...

Acesso a bases de microdados: aplicações e impactos na pesquisa em ciências soc...

A utilização de microdados institucionais para fins de pesquisa tem sido crescente, com aplicações cada vez mais diversificadas e complexas. O uso deste tipo de dados tem auxiliado na fundamentação e explicação de alguns dos processos sociais mais relevantes da contemporaneidade. Neste âmbito, e decorridos mais de 10 anos desde que foi celebrado um Protocolo, em Portugal, que facultou essa possibilidade, analis...

Validation of an offshore wind atlas using the satellite data available at the ...

In this study a validation methodology for regional mesoscale model simulations when ingested with surface wind data inferred from satellite sources around Continental Portugal is evaluated. Observational wind data from a “quasi” offshore anemometric mast located in the Berlenga Island – near Peniche region – was used for the validation study. Satellite sources of wind data under assessment are the ones being u...
