Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most incident cancers, associated with significant morbidity and mortality, usually classified into three main molecular pathways: chromosomal instability, microsatellite instability (MSI) CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). Currently, available screening methods are either costly or limited specificity, impairing global implementation. More cost-effective strategies, including DNA methylation-based tests, might prove advantageous. Although some...
Introduction: Malignant melanoma poses a significant threat due to its aggressiveness and high fatality rates. Recent advances in immunotherapy targeted molecular therapies have transformed the treatment landscape for advanced melanoma, improving overall survival. However, rising use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) introduces complexities, particularly neurological immune-related adverse events (irAEs), necessitating careful consideration multidisciplinary management. Case Report: We...
Like some other countries, seldom being sometimes addressed in classes, the Earth system approach is not emphasized enough Portugal, nor interconnection between geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. To evaluate holistic view of a group 8th grade (13–15 years old) Portuguese students from public school north an improved conceptual map-based to was investigated. After learning about concept mapping, were asked collaborate production four maps regarding each one geochemical...
We live in a multisensory world. However, classrooms, unisensory approaches are preferred, although they unnatural and usually demotivating for youngsters. conducted this mix-method study to investigate the possible effects of approach on geosciences learning among students at primary school Porto, Portugal. The cognitive outcome was assessed using pre/post-test design, while motivation other attitudinal parameters were studied an anonymous questionnaire. results revealed higher mean score...
There is currently a great difficulty in learning programming. In this context research work presents literature review on the programming difficulties, paradigms. Here it also presented state of art computer science education Portuguese universities. Based proposed here theoretical model. This model was and validated empirically with university students science. explains determinants satisfaction level students. It usefulness perceived by The drivers students' continuance intention learning.
Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of worldwide and second cause related deaths in Europe. Since Countries Central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary) have one highest rates both for incidence mortality CRC, CRC became a serious health, social economic problem. pathogenesis involves multiple genetic events. On behalf strong experimental work, there still lack predictive, prognostic treatment-response biomarkers. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are non-protein...
