Background Despite advanced analytical methods and increasing data availability, most intensive care unit (ICU) prediction models rely on static measurements. However, longitudinal monitoring of biomarkers may better capture disease progression and support timely, individualized interventions within the framework of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM). Since the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in both static a...
Understanding the mechanisms underlying fast diversifications is central to evolutionary biology. This can be partly achieved by focusing on intrinsic reproductive barriers that emerge during early stages of divergence in fast‐radiating groups. Here, we explored the mechanisms underlying the divergence of two ecotypes of the Dianthus rupicola complex, which belong to the Eurasian clade of the hyperdiverse genus Dianthus , the...
Due to its high concentration of growth factors, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become the subject of much research, either as an isolated or adjuvant treatment for wound repair. The fractal dimension has been used as an innovative method for the characterization and quantification of tissue structural alterations without any interference from the evaluator. The objective of this study was characterizing collagen types I and I...
Serological and Molecular Survey of Hepatitis E Virus in Small Ruminants from Central PortugalNARA Subscribed
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is currently recognized as an emerging problem and a growing concern for public health in developed countries, with HEV infections mainly attributable to foodborne transmission of HEV-3. The zoonotic HEV genotype 3 infects a wide range of mammalian hosts, with swine considered as the primary host. This study investigates the occurrence of HEV among small ruminants in Portugal. The primary aim of the pre...
Analysis of six consecutive waves of ICU-admitted COVID-19 patients: key findings and insights from a Portuguese populationNARA Subscribed
Identifying high-risk patients, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs), enhances treatment and reduces severe outcomes. Since the pandemic, numerous studies have examined COVID-19 patient profiles and factors linked to increased mortality. Despite six pandemic waves, to the best of our knowledge, there is no extensive comparative analysis of patients’ characteristics across these waves in Portugal. Thus, we aimed to analy...
