Objective. To evaluate the performance of a first trimester aneuploidy screening program for preeclampsia (PE) prediction in a Portuguese obstetric population, when performed under routine clinical conditions. Materials and Methods. Retrospective cohort study of 5672 pregnant women who underwent routine first trimester aneuploidy screening in a Portuguese university hospital from January 2009 to June 2013. Logi...
Available online 7 September 2013 ; Salmonellosis, one of the most common food and water-borne diseases, has a major global health and economic impact. Salmonella cells present high infection rates, persistence over inauspicious conditions and the potential to preserve virulence in dormant states when cells are viable but non-culturable (VBNC). These facts are challenging for current detection methods. Culture...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Medical Physics Division of the Portuguese Physics Society (DFM_SPF) in collaboration with the IAEA, carried out a national auditing project in radiotherapy, between September 2011 and April 2012. The objective of this audit was to ensure the optimal usage of treatment planning systems. The national results are presented in this paper. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The audit methodology simu...

Foram estudados restrospectivamente 39 casos de Coartação da Aorta isolada ou associada a outras anomalias cardíacas, diagnosticadas no primeiro ano de vida e internados na Unidade de Cardiologia Pediátrica do Hospital de Santa Maria e Hospital de Santa Cruz entre 1981 e 1990.Os parâmetros analisados foram: idade de diagnóstico, distribuição por sexos, forma clínica de apresentação, tipo anatómico, presença ou ...
Os complexos de espécies de parasitóides e predadores que limitam as populações das principais pragas de culturas hortÃcolas protegidas, mosquinhas brancas, larvas mineiras, lagartas, afÃdeos e tripes, têm vindo a ser estudados na região Oeste desde há mais de 25 anos. A riqueza especÃfica encontrada nestes complexos é elevada. Algumas das espécies identificadas são comercializadas para largadas. E...
The use of a centralised planning scheduler in fieldbus-based systems requiring real-time operation has proved to be a good compromise between operational flexibility and timeliness guarantees.In this paper a preliminary implementation of a hardware scheduling coprocessor based in the planning paradigm is presented. The coprocessor is installed in a special node of the fieldbus, the bus arbiter, and generates s...
BACKGROUND: Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) is the most common inherited defect in the mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation pathway, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality in undiagnosed patients.Newborn screening (NBS) has considerably improved MCADD outcome, but the risk of complication remains in some patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between geno...
