Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome with multiple comorbidities. Cognitive impairment, stress, anxiety, depression, and lower quality of life are prevalent in HF. Herein, we explore the interplay between these parameters study their value to predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) health‐related (HrQoL) patients HF reduced ejection fraction using guideline recommended assessment tools. Methods results We conducted longitudinal sample 65 from two...
Accreditation processes for health care professions are designed to ensure that individuals and programs in these fields meet established standards of quality effectiveness. The accelerating pace globalization the has increased need a shared understanding vocabulary evaluation, assessment, accreditation. psychometric principles valid reliable assessment commonly accepted, but terminology is confusing. We believe all stakeholders - evaluators, faculty, students also community will benefit...
Neurotoxicity is an acknowledged side effect of third and fourth-generation cephalosporins, but its occurrence with ceftriaxone not widely recognized. This article presents a case involving 56-year-old woman multiple comorbidities who sought medical attention after experiencing lipothymia. The initial diagnosis suggested urinary tract infection acute kidney failure, leading to the initiation hemodialysis. Subsequently, patient exhibited progressive deterioration her neurological state,...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the most common gynecological malignancy in developed countries. Gynecological ultrasound, accessible and harmless to patient, a crucial tool studying endometrium symptomatic women and/or those with risk factors for EC. The Color Doppler score represents subjective assessment of vascularity scored from 1 (absent) 4 (abundant). <h3>Methodology</h3> Retrospective cohort study 37 EC undergoing surgical treatment at this institution...
Abstract Background Cervical cancer (CC) screening is crucial for reducing its incidence. However, encouraging participation among under-screened women remains challenging. Portugal’s decentralized health regions provide an ideal case study due to a significant proportion of eligible avoiding regular screening. Globally, self-sampling has emerged as promising solution enhance attendance. This aims assess acceptance in central Portugal, contributing the existing knowledge CC Methods 801 aged...
An assessment program should be inclusive and ensure that the various components of medical knowledge, clinical skills, professionalism are assessed. The level variation over time in strength correlation between these is still a matter study. Based on meaningful learning theory integrated theory, we hypothesize increase their connections during school course.
<title>Abstract</title> Purpose: This study introduces and validates the Minho Suture Assessment Scale (Minho-SAS), a detailed instrument designed to evaluate fundamental suturing competencies among medical students. Through application of Item Response Theory (IRT) dichotomous yes/no response format, scale aims offer comprehensive yet specific assessment framework for abilities. Methods: The development process involved collaboration with multidisciplinary surgical teams experienced...
Introduction: Motivation plays a crucial role in the academic success and professional development of medical students. Understanding intricacies motivation within context education is essential for designing effective interventions support systems. The aim this study was to explore adaptation Academic Scale framework self-determination theory self-efficacy assess among students.Methods: adapted Portuguese context, drawing upon insights from theory. Two existing scales, MATAMS Ribeiro et al...
Symptomatic pericardial effusion occurring as the initial manifestation of Hodgkin's lymphoma is exceedingly uncommon, and there are limited documented instances in available literature. Pericardial can present various differential diagnoses, among these, malignancy an important yet less frequently encountered cause. A heightened level suspicion crucial for establishing accurate diagnosis, particularly when patient's clinical course deviates from anticipated trajectory. Through this case, we...
Medical Education has evolved being defined as a continuum of the medical training from pre- to post-graduate period and through lifetime practice that is mirrored in competencies framework several international institutions have established. This creates challenge educational (pre- post-graduate) traditionally take separate pathways.The present report description efforts carried by School Medicine University Minho implement strategy teaching/learning methods follows modern standards towards...
vazões que podem comprometer a estabilidade de taludes e encostas localizadas jusante do vertedouro.Devem ser, por isso, adotadas soluções técnicas adequadas para minimizar perdas solo danos à flora fauna.Uma técnica apropriada proteção margens fluviais é o enrocamento vivo.
Smart systems increasingly demand the processing of a massive amount data generated by heterogeneous and distributed sources. Due to inherent cyber-physical nature these systems, many applications require that this respects set non-functional requirements (such as timeliness, or energy-efficiency). To cope with challenge, edge-cloud architectures need provide flexible mechanisms support varying needs, whilst guaranteeing minimum level quality service required smart applications. This paper...
A incidência de adenocarcinoma do endocolo está a aumentar, principalmente em mulheres com idades entre os 20 e 30 anos. O aumento desta incidência, segundo estudos recentes, pode dever-se infeções persistentes pelo HPV associadas fatores risco endógenos exógenos. tratamento neoplasia requer, por vezes, histerectomia total consequente infertilidade, sendo motivo trauma psicológico. presente trabalho pretende alertar para o desenvolvimento cada vez mais jovens, adicionalmente, fazer uma...

In 1964, a group of scientists was using microscope to study the cells someone with disease called Burkitt’s lymphoma. They saw small particles inside and discovered they were viruses. This virus is now named Epstein-Barr virus, it causes infectious mononucleosis, also known as kissing disease. tricky because can have many symptoms that are common other diseases. Have you ever had sore throat fever? Maybe caused by virus! mainly affects lymphatic system, which defends body from infections,...
The ELASTIC European project addresses the emergence of extreme-scale analytics, providing a software architecture with new elasticity concept, intended to support smart cyberphysical systems performance requirements from analytics workloads. One main challenges being tackled by is necessity simultaneously fulfil non-functional properties inherited systems, such as real-time, energy efficiency, communication quality or security. This paper presents how monitors and manages nonfunctional...
Due to the importance of species Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.)Kuntze and on account its presence in "Núcleo Cunha", it was decided study influence process rainfall redistribution.Daily throughfall (Tr) stemflow trees (Et) a plot 600 m 2 , equipped with 15 rain gauges devices for collecting water 19 were measured.A gauge installed open area located near provided data (Pa).The interception (I) estimated by equation: I = Pa -(Et + Tr).The experimental period covered from October 2008 March...
