The production of small ruminant autochthonous breeds in the Centre region Portugal is practiced a semi-extensive husbandry system, exposing animals to parasitic infections. main objective this study was estimate prevalence lungworm infection and identify risk factors. Fecal samples 203 goats 208 sheep from 30 herds were collected per rectum subjected modified Baermann test. overall 57.7%, significantly higher (95.6%) than (20.7%) (p < 0.001). According binary logistic regression model,...
Purpose: To evaluate the influence of late cholecystectomy following bariatric surgery on postoperative evolution weight loss and biochemical, metabolic, micronutrient parameters. Methods: A retrospective study that assessed 86 patients who underwent after at least 18 months surgery. The analyzed variables included demographic data, comorbidities, loss, Results: Among patients, 20 gastric bypass (GB) 66 sleeve gastrectomy (SG). GB group comprised 55% women, with a mean age 54.4 years...
Introdubction: Stage I seminoma has a very good prognosis, yet approximately 15% have subclinical metastatic disease and will relapse after orchidectomy alone. Several management approaches been investigated. We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of real-world patients with stage seminoma, analysing prognostic factors influencing treatment choice oncological outcomes.Retrospective, single institution study, 55 diagnosed between 2007 2020. Selected were analysed regarding three -...
In this paper, we propose a new Motion Estimation algorithm based on low discrepancy sequences, essentially quasi-random sequences used as point sampling to compute multivariate integral approximations by methods such Monte-Carlo. Our evaluation of the proposed method took into consideration PSNR mean values, computational effort and bit-rate. The results support that entitled Quasi-Random Search (QRS) is able significantly reduce 73,06% in average when compared UMHS while maintaining video...
Cutaneous production of vitamin D by exposure the skin to solar radiation can provide more than 90% daily dose needed human body, thanks range UV covered its spectrum and may be best option reduce oral supplementation. The process monitored personal dosimetry since this is related production. Aiming monitor UVB looking for correlation with D3, a printed strip molecular device was used produce photonic signal as input calculations in software developed here run on smartphone. For this,...
