Introduction – Nowadays the high unemployment rate and the emigration of young graduated population is the reason why this population has been insecure about their career and professional future in their home country. By some way the existence of a reflexive analysis about their actual professional situation could clarify the future for students and recently-graduated in prosthetics and orthotics area. Objectives – Quantifying the professional situation of the graduated population in prosthetics and orthotics on Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Saude de Lisboa (ESTeSL) and also create a reflection tool about future professional perspectives. Methodology – Application of a questionnaire through the platform LimeSurvey® to the universe of prosthetists and orthotists graduates in ESTeSL and characterize by the quantitative data. Results/Discussion – The majority of the graduates are young and females. 78.3% of the inquired are working on the prosthetics and orthotics area and the unemployment rate is 8.7%. It’s notice a geographical mobility to the district of Lisbon to study and to work. Conclusion – The unemployment rate in prosthetics and orthotics graduates is lower than the national average. In opposition with another graduated health groups, the National Health System is a minor employer of these population. It was noticed a desertification of the big urban centres, in what concerns to the first job and actual job

Ovarian carcinoma is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women and is the leading cause among gynecologic malignancies. Factors such as the molecular heterogeneity of ovarian tumors and initial diagnosis at advanced stages hamper effective disease treatment. Given the ineffectiveness of current treatments, the development of newer therapeutic modalities for effective ovarian cancer treatment is still needed. Radioimmunotherapy that combines the use of monoclonal antibodies against tumor-associated antigens with the cytotoxic properties of therapeutic radionuclides could be one of these approaches. The potential of monoclonal antibodies to complement current treatment protocols may bring a significant improvement to the overall therapeutic outcomes of the disease. The aim of the present review is to give an overview of published clinical trials of radioimmunotherapy for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma

Introduction – The choice of treatment depends on several factors, including clinical status and prognosis of each patient. These factors play an important role in the choice of therapeutic intervention in bone metastases. Early detection and the right treatment can improve the quality of life and functional independence of patients. Methodology – This article aims to systematically review the literature of the past 15 years, identifying the different types of fractionation (single fraction versus multiple fractions) and techniques used in radiotherapy in the treatment of bone metastases. Results – Recent advances in technology and radiotherapy treatment techniques assist in the distribution of highly conformational doses and imaging guidance for a more precise delivery of treatment. The stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) allows to define and increase the dose in the tumor to irradiate. In the case of bone metastasis, results from the control of local tumor and pain have proved promising. Conventional radiotherapy 8Gyx1, however, remains the preferred treatment in palliative patients. Conclusion – The treatment of bone metastasis is complex, and a multidisciplinary approach is always necessary. Treatment should be individualized to fit the symptoms and clinical status of each patient

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a substance that stimulates red blood cell production, increasing muscle oxygenation and is secreted naturally by the body and excreted in urine in low concentrations. Due to the special properties of EPO, this was quickly introduced into the world of sport and its illicit use provides advantages in sports performance. In early 2000, was developed a method for direct detection of erythropoietin (EPO) on recombinant human urine by Lasne, based on isoelectric focusing (IEF) in polyacrylamide gel, followed by double blotting, has been published and validated. In 2002, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has implemented this same method which is currently the only official method used by laboratories accredited by WADA. The starting point for this work was the need to implement and validate the reference method, for the detection of recombinant erythropoietin in human urine. The study was conducted at the Laboratory for Doping Analysis and (LAD) of the Sports Institute of Portugal (IDP), current IPDJ. Theobjective of the work focused on validation studies/investigation of different validation parameters (specificity/selectivity; ability identification, detection limit, accuracy and repeatability), according the protocol Procedimento Geral Interno of the Antidoping Laboratory of Lisbon. This method of screening and confirmation has revealed performance characteristics in accordance with the applicable requirements for what is considered valid and fit.

Introduction – The estimate of relative renal function (RRF) through scintigraphy with dimercaptosuccinic acid labelled with Technetium-99 metastable (99mTc-DMSA) may be influenced by kidney depth (KD), due to attenuation by soft tissue surrounding the kidneys. Considering that rarely this KD is known, several methods for attenuation correction (AC) have been developed, namely those using empirical formulae, such as Raynaud, Taylor or Tonnesen methods, or by direct calculation of the geometric mean (GM). Objectives – To identify the influence of different AC methods on RRF estimateby scintigraphy with 99mTc-DMSA and to evaluate the respective KD variability. Methods : Thirty-one patients were referred for 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy and underwent the same acquisition protocol. Processing was performed by 2 independent operators, three times per exam, changing for the same processing the methods for the FRR determination: Raynaud’s method, Taylor’s method, Tonnesen´s method, GM and without AC (WAC). Friedman’s test was used to identify the influence of the different AC methods on RRF estimate and Pearson’s correlation test was used to evaluate the association and significance between KD and the variables age, weight and height. Results – Friedman’s test indicated that there were significant differences between methods (p=0.000), except for WAC/Raynaud, Tonnesen/GM and Taylor/GM (p=1.000) comparisons, for both kidneys. Pearson’s test showed a strong positive correlation between weight and the three methods of KD estimation. Conclusions – Taylor’s method, regarding the three methods of KD calculation, is the closest to GM. The choice of the attenuation correction method influences significantly the quantitative parameters of FRR.

Background – Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is one of the most lethal malignancies and the follow-up involves, in addition to clinical examination and analysis of tumor markers, several imaging methods such as the Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) exam with 18fluor-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). The aim of the study is to evaluate the utility of PET/CT in the assessment of the extension of the disease and of suspected recurrence in the CMM, comparing the imaging findings with those described in CT studies. Methods – It was performed a retrospective analysis of 62 PET/CT studies in 50 patients diagnosed with CMM. It was excluded a study which had a doubtful outcome (pulmonary nodule) and it was not possible to perform its diagnosis. The information related to the results of pathologic studies and imaging studies was obtained through medical history and medical reports of CT and PET/CT. A database was created with the collected data through Excel software and a descriptive statistical analysis was carried out. Results – Of the PET/CT studies analyzed, 31 were considered true positives (TP), 28 true negatives (TN), 1 false negative (FN) and 1 false positive (FP). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of PET/CT for staging and evaluation of suspicious relapse in CMM are, respectively, 96.9%, 96.6%, 96.9%, 96.6% and 96.7%. From the CT results considered in statistical analysis, 14 corresponded to TP, 12 to TN, 3 to FP and 5 to FN. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV, and accuracy of CT for staging and evaluation of suspicious relapse in CMM are, respectively, 73.7%, 80.0%, 82.4%, 70.6% and 76.5%. Comparatively to the CT results, PET/CT allowed a change in therapeutic approach in 23% of studies. Conclusion – PET/CT is a useful tool in evaluating CMM, characterized by high diagnostic accuracy in staging and in the evaluation of suspected recurrence of MMC compared to CT only.

Women diagnosed with breast cancer, have seen a significant increase in life expectancy in recent years. However, many of these women are living with chronic complications resulting from treatment. The aim of this study is to characterize musculos- keletal complications (MC) in breast cancer survivors, and emphasize the need to develop preventive therapies for these complications. Methods - Ninety four women survivors of breast cancer answered a questionnaire about potential MC. Results - The association between age and lymphedema (p=0.004), arm pain (AP) (p=0.000), shoulder pain (SP) (p=0.004), difficulty in raising the arm (DRA) ( p=0.022) and neck pain (NP) (p=0.000) sho- wed a higher incidence in women over 50 years. Women whith lymphadenectomy sho- wed higher incidence of lymphedema (p=0.000), AP (p=0.000), SP (p=0.008). Regarding survival, it was found that women over 10 years of survival have more MC.

Nowadays, many of the electrical and electronic equipment we buy become obsolete in a short time because of the rapid technological advances in this field. Small and large devices such as computers, mobile phones and electronic equipment are reduced to electronic waste (e‑Waste), and many of them are disposed as common trash. To change the situation, the EU announced some directives on this subject in order to control the growth of this e‑waste and to reduce its impact. In this context, the Yasar University (Turkey) submitted to the EU a project (EWASTEU) aiming at providing an overview of what is happening with the equipment turning into e‑waste, as well as to introduce some proposals to minimise this problem. One of the main issues to be addressed will be the adequacy of the EU directives.
