Recent studies show contradictory data on the incidence of hospitalizations for acute bronchiolitis (AB) and an escalating increase in public health burden. We aimed to analyze the population-based admission rate for AB in children under 2 years of age, in Portuguese public hospitals, from 2000 to 2015, to assess trends and regional variations in admission rate; outcomes; associated direct health-care costs; and changes in management after the implementation of national guidelines.

Abstract Available research has extensively examined the spatiotemporal patterns of fire‐weather regime in Portugal, but a comprehensive climatology of extreme wildfires is still under development. This study calls for different strategies and scales of analysis aiming to describe the relationships between medium and low troposphere weather conditions and severe fire behaviour in mainland Portugal, between 1980 and 2018. In particular, critical fire‐weather patterns and thresholds that can contribute ...

Aim and Background. The absorption of fluids by denture base materials diminishes the mechanical properties such as hardness, strength, and fatigue limit due to the plasticizing effect of water. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of oral pH on the fracture resistance of prosthetic bases made of three different heat-polymerizable acrylic resin brands: RS Vertex®, Triplex Hot®, and Megacryl®. The strength needed to fracture the resins and the resistance to fracture each resin were evaluated. ...

Massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) are usually chronic lesions with pronounced degenerative changes, where advanced fatty degeneration and atrophy can make the tear irreparable. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) secrete a range of growth factors and vesicular systems, known as secretome, that mediates regenerative processes in tissues undergoing degeneration.To study the effect of hMSC secretome on muscular degenerative changes and shoulder function on a rat MRCT model.Controlled laboratory study. ...

Tumor cells are highly resistant to oxidative stress resulting from the imbalance between high reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and insufficient antioxidant defenses. However, when intracellular levels of ROS rise beyond a certain threshold, largely above cancer cells' capacity to reduce it, they may ultimately lead to apoptosis or necrosis. This is, in fact, one of the molecular mechanisms of anticancer drugs, as most chemotherapeutic treatments alter redox homeostasis by further elevation ...

Several analytical models have been widely applied to determine the activation energy of crystallization, E, and the Avrami index, n. In this work, the parameters E and n for the crystallization of fresnoite (2BaO·TiO2·2SiO2) glass were calculated using different approaches (Ozawa, Kissinger, and Matusita & Sakka). Monolithic glass samples (≈ 36 mg) were heated in a DSC furnace from room temperature to 650 °C at 40 °C/min, and held at that temperature for 5 min. To induce the formation of new nuclei mostly ...

Background Massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) are very large tears that are often associated with an uncertain prognosis. Indeed, some MRCTs even without osteoarthritis are considered irreparable, and nonanatomic solutions are needed to improve the patient's symptoms. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is an option that can provide a more predictable pain relief and recovery of function. Nonetheless, outcomes after RSA for irreparable MRCTs have not been well defined. The aim of this study was to quantitatively ...

The specific properties of porous materials when wet, namely the cooling effect near the surface due to the heat extraction during water evaporation, were known and used by ancient civilisations. During human perspiration, the necessary heat for sweat evaporation is provided by the cutaneous surface, which induces a temperature drop similar to that observed in a wet porous material. The potential for using porous materials to simulate human perspiration was investigated in this work using different ...
