A study conducted at the University Hospital Center in Porto, Portugal, aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of different synovial fluid biomarkers for the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The study found that four biomarkers, including alpha-defensin, leukocyte esterase, synovial fluid C-reactive protein, and calprotectin, showed good specificity and sensitivity in diagnosing PJI. However, the diagnostic performance of these biomarkers varied depending on the PJI definition used. The research concluded that biomarkers perform differently according to the selected PJI definitions. [Extracted from the article]

A systematic review conducted by researchers at the University of Porto in Portugal examined the use of recommendation systems to promote behavior change in patients with type 2 diabetes. The review found that incorporating a recommendation system into technological solutions showed a positive effect on health-related outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes. However, the effectiveness of these systems decreased over longer durations. The study suggests that future research should focus on extending the follow-up timeframe and exploring different types of recommendation systems. Overall, technological solutions with recommendation systems show potential to improve health outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes. [Extracted from the article]

However, because the Sobel filter is a general edge detector, it treats edges indistinguishably, i.e., it detects too many edges that are not relevant to breast contour detection and too few weak breast contours.

A new report from the University of Porto in Portugal introduces the Dietary Pattern Sustainability Index (DIPASI), a method for assessing the sustainability of dietary patterns. The index considers environmental, nutritional, and economic dimensions to provide a single score. The study compared the Portuguese dietary pattern to the reference Mediterranean diet and found that the Portuguese diet had a higher environmental impact, lower nutritional quality, and higher cost. The majority of Portuguese individuals had lower sustainability performance, indicating a need for promoting sustainable and healthy dietary choices. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers at the University of Porto in Portugal have developed a decision support system using predictive analytics and machine learning to identify avoidable patients in a pediatric emergency department.

A report from Universidade Catolica Portuguesa explores the relationship between stress mediators and skin microbiota in shaping age-related hallmarks. The research highlights that psychological stress is a significant factor in various health problems, affecting around 35% of the global population, including younger generations. Stress manifests through neuroendocrine pathways and produces stress mediators like cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, which have been associated with aging processes such as telomere attrition, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, chronic inflammation, and dysbiosis. The study also examines the impact of stress on the skin's structural integrity and physiological function, with a particular focus on skin microbiota dysbiosis. Additionally, the report discusses the role of oxytocin, a cortisol antagonist, in cellular aging and its association with psychological issues and positive social interaction.

A recent study conducted at the Portuguese Oncology Institute in Porto, Portugal, has explored the impact of cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) on adipose tissue. CAC is a complex syndrome that significantly affects the quality of life and mortality of cancer patients. The study focused on the involvement of the beta 3-adrenergic receptor in adipose tissue rearrangement during cachexia and its potential as a therapeutic target. The research aims to contribute to the understanding of CAC and provide insights for future interventions. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from University Hospital Center in Porto, Portugal discusses the need for new treatments for bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) due to the poor quality of life experienced by many patients. The report reviews studies on BPS/IC treatments published in the last two years and highlights several treatments that have shown positive results, including pentosan polysulfate, interleukin 1 antagonist, low energy shock wave, physical therapy, hypnosis, acupuncture, clorpactin, dimethyl sulfoxide, and hyaluronic acid plus botulinum toxin-A. However, the validation of these studies is challenging due to the diverse range of BPS/IC phenotypes, small sample sizes, different outcome measures, and short-term follow-up. The report suggests that a step-by-step approach and phenotyping will be necessary for effective BPS/IC treatment in the future. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study from the University of Porto explores the concept of the "15-minutes city," which aims to provide everyday amenities within a 15-minute travel time. The researchers analyze the accessibility conditions in the metropolitan area of Porto and identify six main typologies for the 15-minutes city. They find that approximately 18% of the population can reach all considered amenities within 15 minutes, while 1% has none. The study concludes that uniformity may not be desirable for different urban contexts, and forcing fashionable concepts onto urban areas may overlook underlying sustainability concerns.
