Abstract The ability of the new coronavirus SARS‐CoV‐2 to spread and contaminate is one determinants COVID‐19 pandemic status. has been detected in saliva consistently, with similar sensitivity that observed nasopharyngeal swabs. We conducted ultrasound‐guided postmortem biopsies fatal cases. Samples salivary glands (SGs; parotid, submandibular, minor) were obtained. analyzed samples using RT‐qPCR, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, histopathological analysis identify elucidate...
Background: The ability of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 to spread is one the determinants COVID-19 pandemic status. Until June 2020, global cases surpassed 10 million. Asymptomatic patients, with no respiratory impairment, are believed be responsible for more than 80% transmission. Other viruses have been consistently detected in periodontal tissues.Objective: aim this study was investigate presence tissue.Methods: We conducted video-endoscope minimally invasive post-mortem biopsy seven fatal...
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a prevailing nosocomial infection in critically ill patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (iMV). The impact of VAP profound, adversely affecting patient outcomes and placing significant burden on healthcare resources. This study assessed for the first time contemporary epidemiology Portugal its system clinical outcomes. Additionally, resource consumption (duration iMV, intensive care unit (ICU), hospital length stay (LOS)) empirical...

As SARS-CoV-2 and its related clinical syndrome (COVID-19) became a pandemic worldwide, questions regarding presentation, infectivity, immune response have been the subject of investigation. We present case patient previously considered recovered from nosocomially transmitted asymptomatic COVID-19 illness, who presented with new respiratory, radiological, RT-PCR findings consistent COVID-19, while on high-dose prednisolone due to suspected secondary demyelinating disease. Importantly, it led...
The following study was carried out with the aim of ergonomically evaluating a workstation to measure risk Workrelated Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSD) and, consequently, take necessary measures in corresponding time urgency.The subject milkrun's supply which assessed using Nordic Questionnaire and Ergonomic Workplace Analysis (EWA) on 6 workers study.From it, it concluded that most affected body regions were neck, shoulders, lumbar region.Then, selected observational methods -Rapid Upper...
A global health emergency has been declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as SARS-CoV-2 outbreak spread across world. Patients infected with are at risk for developing respiratory failure and requiring admission to critical care units. While providing optimal treatment these patients, careful execution of infection control measures is necessary prevent nosocomial transmission other patients workers care.1 In operating room, preparations involve multiple stakeholders can present a...
