- 3D printing with silicone filling: Creation of an anatomical hand modelPublication . Pinheiro, João; Luz, L.; Seiça, E.; Silva, L.; Gonçalves, R.; Sousa, J. Paulo; Boeiro, H.To develop and evaluate a low-cost anatomical hand and wrist model produced by FDM 3D printing with silicone filling, calibrated using radiographic and CT data, and to assess its anatomical fidelity, imaging realism, mechanical durability, and suitability for training in musculoskeletal radiology, orthopedics, and anatomy education.
- 3D Printing: A new dimension for anatomy educationPublication . Pinheiro, João; Ribeiro, Luís Pedro; Magalhães Ribeiro, Anabela de; Gonçalves, R.; Luz, L.; Seiça, E.; Gonçalves, M.; Sousa, J. Paulo; Silva, L.The purpose of this pedagogical practice was to evaluate the feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and educational value of three-dimensional (3D) printed anatomical models in the teaching of human anatomy. Advances in medical imaging and 3D printing have enabled the conversion of CT and MRI data into physical models, offering new opportunities to enhance spatial understanding, tactile learning, and student engagement beyond traditional two-dimensional resources [1–4].
- Abdominal Ultrasound Phantom – A potential training toolPublication . Pinheiro, João; Magalhães Ribeiro, Anabela de; Ribeiro, Luís PedroThe purpose of this educational intervention was to evaluate the effectiveness of abdominal ultrasound phantoms as a simulation-based learning tool in the training of Medical Imaging and Radiology students. Abdominal ultrasonography is a highly operator-dependent modality, yet undergraduate training is often limited by restricted patient access, ethical considerations, and reduced opportunities for supervised practice [3,6]. Simulation-based learning offers a safe and reproducible environment for hands-on training, supporting experiential learning and skill acquisition [3,4].
- Abordagem integrada para a identificação, análise e mitigação de riscos ocupacionais no banco alimentar do Algarve: aplicação dos métodos Marat, Niosh e William T. FinePublication . Oliveira, Sérgio António Fonseca de; Sousa, AntónioO presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar, analisar e mitigar os riscos ocupacionais associados às atividades logísticas desenvolvidas nas unidades de Faro e Portimão do Banco Alimentar do Algarve. Para tal, adotou-se uma abordagem metodológica integrada, que conjuga os métodos MARAT, NIOSH e William T. Fine. A aplicação do MARAT permitiu uma avaliação sistemática dos riscos existentes, com a atribuição de Níveis de Intervenção (NI), destacando-se diversos riscos classificados como NI I e NI II, exigindo atuação imediata ou prioritária. A aplicação da equação de NIOSH permitiu calcular os Índices de Levantamento (IL), demonstrando a eficácia potencial de medidas corretivas simples. O método de William T. Fine foi aplicado aos riscos classificados como NI I, permitindo hierarquizar essas intervenções com base no custo e na urgência. As propostas incluem reorganização do layout, aquisição de equipamentos ergonómicos e formação dos colaboradores. Os resultados revelaram contrastes significativos entre as duas unidades: Faro apresenta condições estruturais deficitárias, com layout improvisado e elevada exposição a riscos ergonómicos e mecânicos; Portimão, por sua vez, dispõe de uma estrutura mais adequada, mas enfrenta desafios na organização dos fluxos logísticos e no empilhamento em altura. Foram propostas medidas corretivas ajustadas à realidade de cada unidade, incluindo soluções técnicas e organizacionais, formação prática, delimitação de espaços e aquisição de equipamentos ergonómicos de apoio. Este estudo reforça a importância da avaliação de riscos com recurso a metodologias combinadas, demonstrando a sua aplicabilidade em contextos logísticos do setor social, muitas vezes desprovidos de soluções sistematizadas. Os resultados obtidos permitem não só melhorar as condições de trabalho nas unidades analisadas, como também oferecer um modelo de referência replicável por outras organizações com dinâmicas semelhantes.
- O acesso aos serviços públicos de saúde no futuro: Elementos para a realização de uma antropologia antecipatóriaPublication . Pinto da Costa, José CarlosO documento discute como as transformações nos sistemas de saúde, como a medicina de precisão, saúde digital e cuidados baseados em valor, podem afetar a equidade no acesso à saúde no futuro. Apresenta as três discursividades e como contribuem para a eficiência, mas também podem aumentar os custos e dificultar o acesso. Conclui que é preciso antecipar os impactos destas transformações nas populações para promover a equidade no acesso aos cuidados.
- Analysis of radiological examination request forms in a radiology departmentPublication . Gonçalves, S. R.; Caldeira Lagem Abrantes, António Fernando; Ribeiro, Luís Pedro; do Espírito Santo Rodrigues, Sónia Isabel; Pinheiro, João; Magalhães Ribeiro, Anabela de; Almeida, R. P. P.Clinical information in the Radiology department is an important tool to perform correct imaging studies, and adjust the exam to the anatomical region and clinical suspicion. Due to limited time and high workflow in diagnostic departments, immobilization devices, and communication barriers with patients, it may be difficult to identify the region under study, adjust the study to the patient's condition, and perform the scan properly. Thus, the emergency room physicians and other medical referrals should provide as much information as possible so the radiographers, radiologists, and sonographers can perform the requested exam and clarify any clinical suspicion. Proper communication with clinicians before an examination is essential to provide patient-centered healthcare. The present study aimed to evaluate the existence or absence of clinical information in the examination requests forms in a radiology department.
- Anatomical regions and Body Mass Index: A Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) problemPublication . Romão, C.; Caldeira Lagem Abrantes, António Fernando; Ribeiro, Luís Pedro; do Espírito Santo Rodrigues, Sónia Isabel; Pinheiro, João; Almeida, R. P. P.The aim of this study is the analysis of SAR during MRI scans, and correlate them with gender, Body Mass Index, type of pulse sequence, acquisition time and the radiofrequencies applied on pulse sequences, and also the anatomic area.
- The anthropologist and the bioengineer: A theoretical reflection on some preconditions for ethnographic collaborations in personalized medicinePublication . Pinto da Costa, José CarlosBy applying genomics research and cutting-edge technologies to the imaging and analysis of molecular-based biomarkers, precision, or personalized, medicine (PM) is a groundbreaking approach to medical care which aims to predict, prevent and treat diseases by providing healthcare according to the genetic variability of individuals and the socio-environmental context in which they live. The impacts of PM on future use and access to healthcare will surely be enormous, and, anthropologists should not disregard them. As the most important outcome of biotechnological research, PM is generated in the lab, making anthropologists reflect about how to grasp engineers’ and other experts’ underlying modes of knowing inside this emergent fieldsite and how to analyse the discursive transduction of the outcomes of such modes through everyday practices outside it. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on this hypothesis, stressing that an experimental ethnographic collaboration might configure an effective way of doing this.
- Anticholinergic burden in elderly people in nursing homes: cross-sectional assessment using ACB calculator and CRIDECO anticholinergic load scalePublication . Nascimento, Tânia; Matos, Maria Ana; Pinto, EzequielBackground/Objectives: Anticholinergic burden is an important risk marker in older adults, associated with cognitive decline, falls, and increased mortality. This study aimed to assess anticholinergic burden in institutionalized elderly individuals using two tools (ACB calculator and CALS—CRIDECO Anticholinergic Load Scale), as well as to analyze its relationship with pharmacotherapeutic variables like polypharmacy. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted by analyzing the pharmacotherapeutic profiles of institutionalized elderly individuals (≥65 years) utilizing individualized medication preparation services from a community pharmacy in Alentejo (Portugal). Participants agreed to the study and had complete, up-to-date pharmacotherapeutic profiles. Results: The pharmacotherapeutic profiles of 75 institutionalized elderly people were analyzed; the sample comprised mostly women (72%) who had experienced excessive polypharmacy (≥10 medications) (56%) and had an average age of 85.62 ± 7.62 years. It was found that 90.7% (ACB) and 89.3% (CALS—CRIDECO) of the elderly had anticholinergic burden, with mean values of 3.60 ± 2.84 and 3.33 ± 2.51, respectively. Women exhibited higher anticholinergic burden in unadjusted analyses (p < 0.05). The burden correlated moderately with the total number of medications (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results show high exposure to anticholinergic medications in the institutionalized elderly population, reinforcing the rationale for systematic therapeutic reviews focused on the pharmacological safety of institutionalized older adults in community pharmacies.
- Aplicación de las ciencias del aprendizaje a la enseñanza medicaPublication . Renda, Marta; Rodriguez-Reinado, CarmenHoy en día, el aprendizaje multimedia está presente en prácticamente todas, si no todas, las áreas de la educación. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los docentes utilizan este tipo de aprendizaje de acuerdo a lo que ellos mismos consideran que es el método de aprendizaje de los estudiantes, ignorando la existencia de principios bien estudiados sobre la teoría cognitiva del aprendizaje multimedia. Dad su importancia, la educación médica o no médica, debe guiarse por una teoría basada en: 1) cómo aprenden las personas: ciencia del aprendizaje; 2) por principios basados en la evidencia sobre cómo diseñar una instrucción eficaz: ciencia de la instrucción. (Mayer, 2005, 2010).
