Abstract
Obesity is a relevant risk factor in breast cancer (BC), but little is known about the effects of overweight and obesity in surgical outcomes of BC patients. The aim of this study is to analyse surgical options and associated overall survival (OS) in overweight and obese women with BC. In this study, 2143 women diagnosed between 2012 and 2016 at the Portuguese Oncology Institute of Porto (IPO-Porto) were included, and the clinicopathological information was retrieved from the institutional database. Patients were stratified by body mass index (BMI). Statistical analysis included Pearson's chi-squared test with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Multinomial, binary logistic regression and cox proportional-hazards model were also performed to calculate odd ratios and hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals for adjusted and non-adjusted models. The results revealed no statistical difference in histological type, topographic localization, tumour stage and receptor status and in the number of surgical interventions. Overweight women have increased probability to be subjected to sentinel node biopsy. Obese and overweight women are more likely to be submitted to conservative surgery and contrariwise, less likely to undergo total mastectomy. Patients submitted to conservative surgery and not submitted to total mastectomy had a favourable OS although without statistical significance. No significant differences were observed in OS when stratified by BMI. Our results revealed significant variations regarding the surgical options in overweight and obese patients, but these were not translated in OS difference. More research is recommended to better address treatment options in overweight and obese BC patients.

Abstract
The most direct approach for characterizing the quantum dynamics of a strongly interacting system is to measure the time evolution of its full many-body state. Despite the conceptual simplicity of this approach, it quickly becomes intractable as the system size grows. An alternate approach is to think of the many-body dynamics as generating noise, which can be measured by the decoherence of a probe qubit. Here we investigate what the decoherence dynamics of such a probe tells us about the many-body system. In particular, we utilize optically addressable probe spins to experimentally characterize both static and dynamical properties of strongly interacting magnetic dipoles. Our experimental platform consists of two types of spin defects in nitrogen delta-doped diamond: nitrogen-vacancy colour centres, which we use as probe spins, and a many-body ensemble of substitutional nitrogen impurities. We demonstrate that the many-body system's dimensionality, dynamics and disorder are naturally encoded in the probe spins' decoherence profile. Furthermore, we obtain direct control over the spectral properties of the many-body system, with potential applications in quantum sensing and simulation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is increasingly being used as an alternative to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) biopsy to establish the histopathologic pattern in interstitial lung disease (ILD). METHODS A systematic literature search of the PubMed and Embase databases, from October 2010 to October 2020, was conducted to identify studies that reported on diagnostic yield or safety of VATS or TBLC in the diagnosis of ILD. RESULTS 43 studies were included. 23 evaluated the diagnostic yield of TBLC after multidisciplinary discussion, with a pooled diagnostic yield of 76.8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 70.6-82.1), rising to 80.7% in centres that performed ≥70 TBLC. 10 studies assessed the use of VATS and the pooled diagnostic yield was 93.5% (95% CI 88.3-96.5). In TBLC, pooled incidences of complications were 9.9% (95% CI 6.8-14.3) for significant bleeding (6.9% for centres with ≥70 TBLC), 5.6% (95% CI 3.8-8.2) for pneumothorax treated with a chest tube and 1.4% (95% CI 0.9-2.2) for acute exacerbation of ILD after TBLC. The mortality rates were 0.6% and 1.7% for TBLC and VATS, respectively. CONCLUSIONS TBLC has a fairly good diagnostic yield, an acceptable safety profile and a lower mortality rate than VATS. The best results are obtained from more experienced centres.

Abstract
COVID-19 mainly presents as a respiratory disease with flu‐like symptoms, however, recent findings suggest that non-respiratory symptoms can occur early in the infection and cluster together in different groups in different regions. We collected surveillance data among COVID-19 suspected cases tested in mainland Portugal during the first wave of the pandemic, March-April 2020. A multivariable logistic-regression analysis was performed to ascertain the effects of age, sex, prior medical condition and symptoms on the likelihood of testing positive and hospitalisation. Of 25,926 COVID-19 suspected cases included in this study, 5,298 (20%) tested positive. Symptoms were grouped into ten clusters, of which two main ones: one with cough and fever and another with the remainder. There was a higher odds of a positive test with increasing age, myalgia and headache. The odds of being hospitalised increased with age, presence of fever, dyspnoea, or having a prior medical condition although these results varied by region. Presence of cough and other respiratory symptoms did not predict COVID-19 compared to non-COVID respiratory disease patients in any region. Dyspnoea was a strong determinant of hospitalisation, as well as fever and the presence of a prior medical condition, whereas these results varied by region.

Abstract
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic agent that improves the survival and quality of life of patients with solid tumours. However, these improvements are counterbalanced by various dose-dependent side effects including cardiac dysfunction, which may occur in a subset of patients leading to treatment discontinuation. In addition, despite overall insufficiently studied, available data clearly show that women are more susceptible to drugs toxicity due to sex differences in drug metabolism or sensitivity. Regarding doxorubicin, apart its acute toxicity, women are also more vulnerable to late cardiotoxicity. Currently, there are no robust clinical imaging techniques or biomarkers available to detect DOX-cardiotoxicity before functional decline and, despite treatment personalization, subclinical signs of toxicity are not yet well identified.
Thus, in the present work, we sought to characterize the toxic effects of a sub-therapeutic dose of doxorubicin upon cardiovascular and autonomic function. For that, adult healthy female wistar rats (n=14), aged >3 months, were intraperitoneally treated with doxorubicin (2 mg/kg) at weekly intervals for up to 4 weeks. A control (Ctrl, n=7) group received saline solution 0,9% NaCl as a vehicle. Rats underwent an echocardiographic evaluation at 4 weeks. Blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory frequency were assessed in an acute experiment. Cardiovascular variability studies in the time-frequency domain (LF, HF and LF/HF calculation) and cardiorespiratory reflexes assessment were performed. T-Student test for paired observations was applied (level significance p<0.05)
DOX-treated animals showed a severe bradypnea and hypotension, significant decrease in ejection fraction and fractional shortening, sympatho-inhibition and reduced baroreceptor reflex gain and chemoreflex sensitivity. Our functional results might be due to cellular respiratory dysfunction and vascular adaptations induced by doxorubicin via TNF alpha actions at central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral level.
In fact, peripheral TNF alpha release elicits NO production, which through vasodilation will induce hypotension and baroreceptor reflex adjustments. Reinforcing these actions, and despite doxorubicin low ability to pass BBB, TNF alpha acting at CNS induces neuronal apoptosis and impairment of mitochondrial function which might also contribute to affect autonomic and respiratory function, expressed by a decreased chemoreflex sensitivity and sympathetic tone.
In conclusion, sub-therapeutic doses of doxorubicin are able to produce per se the impairment of autonomic and cardiac functions. Thus, a tight monitoring of these functions in patients treated with therapeutic doses of doxorubicin is highly recommended.

Abstract
Extending the framework of statistical physics to the nonequilibrium setting has led to the discovery of previously unidentified phases of matter, often catalyzed by periodic driving. However, preventing the runaway heating that is associated with driving a strongly interacting quantum system remains a challenge in the investigation of these newly discovered phases. In this work, we utilize a trapped-ion quantum simulator to observe the signatures of a nonequilibrium driven phase without disorder-the prethermal discrete time crystal. Here, the heating problem is circumvented not by disorder-induced many-body localization, but rather by high-frequency driving, which leads to an expansive time window where nonequilibrium phases can emerge. Floquet prethermalization is thus presented as a general strategy for creating, stabilizing, and studying intrinsically out-of-equilibrium phases of matter.

Abstract
Purpose To validate tools to identify patients at risk for perioperative complications to implement prehabilitation programmes in head and neck surgery (H&N). Methods Retrospective cohort including 128 patients submitted to H&N, with postoperative Intermediate Care Unit admittance. The accuracy of the risk calculators ASA, P-POSSUM, ACS-NSQIP and ARISCAT to predict postoperative complications and mortality was assessed. A multivariable analysis was subsequently performed to create a new risk prediction model for serious postoperative complications in our institution. Results Our 30-day morbidity and mortality were 45.3% and 0.8%, respectively. The ACS-NSQIP failed to predict complications and had an acceptable discrimination ability for predicting death. The discrimination ability of ARISCAT for predicting respiratory complications was acceptable. ASA and P-POSSUM were poor predictors for mortality and morbidity. Our new prediction model included ACS-NSQIP and ARISCAT (area under the curve 0.750, 95% confidence intervals: 0.63–0.87). Conclusion Despite the insufficient value of these risk calculators when analysed individually, we designed a risk tool combining them which better predicts the risk of serious complications.

Abstract
Pressure alters the physical, chemical, and electronic properties of matter. The diamond anvil cell enables tabletop experiments to investigate a diverse landscape of high-pressure phenomena. Here, we introduce and use a nanoscale sensing platform that integrates nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers directly into the culet of diamond anvils. We demonstrate the versatility of this platform by performing diffraction-limited imaging of both stress fields and magnetism as a function of pressure and temperature. We quantify all normal and shear stress components and demonstrate vector magnetic field imaging, enabling measurement of the pressure-driven α↔ϵ phase transition in iron and the complex pressure-temperature phase diagram of gadolinium. A complementary NV-sensing modality using noise spectroscopy enables the characterization of phase transitions even in the absence of static magnetic signatures.

Abstract
Background: In suspected Crohn's disease (CD), non-diagnostic ileocolonoscopies are often followed by small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE). Adequate pre-selection of patients for SBCE is a key to optimize allocation of resources. We aimed to establish a rational approach for the CD diagnostic workflow, based on biochemical profile of patients with suspected CD, targeting an optimization of patients' selection for SBCE. Methods: Multicenter cohort study includes consecutive patients with suspected undergoing SBCE after non-diagnostic ileocolonoscopy. Minimum follow-up period after the capsule enteroscopy was six months. The outcome was confirmation of CD diagnosis. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were performed. Results: In included 220 patients, 62.3% of women were with a mean age of 41 years [26-54]. A confirmed diagnosis of CD was established in 98 patients (44.5%). The initial univariate analysis identified variables above the threshold of marginal statistical association toward CD diagnosis (p < .15). The regression model identified high CRP levels (OR 1.028 p = .128) and low serum Iron (OR 0.990 p = .025) as the independent variables with consistent correlation with CD diagnosis. Those two variables present a suitable discriminative power (AUC = 0.669, p < .001) for the diagnosis of CD. Conclusion: In suspected CD, low serum iron and elevated CRP had a statistically significant association with CD diagnosis, being helpful to identify patients with higher CD probability before SBCE. However, the lack of a proper validation of the model leads us to currently recommend SBCE to all patients with suspected CD and negative ileocolonoscopy, as no specific biochemical profile can be used to confidently exclude small bowel CD.

Abstract
Characterizing the local internal environment surrounding solid-state spin defects is crucial to harnessing them as nanoscale sensors of external fields. This is especially germane to the case of defect ensembles which can exhibit a complex interplay between interactions, internal fields, and lattice strain. Working with the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, we demonstrate that local electric fields dominate the magnetic resonance behavior of NV ensembles at a low magnetic field. We introduce a simple microscopic model that quantitatively captures the observed spectra for samples with NV concentrations spanning more than two orders of magnitude. Motivated by this understanding, we propose and implement a novel method for the nanoscale localization of individual charges within the diamond lattice; our approach relies upon the fact that the charge induces a NV dark state which depends on the electric field orientation.

Abstract
This work is devoted to the study of the influence of different anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) morphologies on the sensitivity and performance of an AAO-based capacitive touch sensor. The AAO structures were fabricated in a cylindrical homemade anodization cell made from a solid polycarbonate billet via a lathe machining process. The AAO morphologies were obtained from the anodization of Al foil by using three different types of electrolyte (sulphuric acid, oxalic acid and phosphoric acid) and their morphologies are reported and compared using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs and current–time characteristic curves. The sensors were fabricated by integrating the AAO structure with a nanotextured gold thin film deposited over the AAO layer by thermal evaporation, thus realizing a type of metal/insulator/metal parallel-plate capacitance sensor. It is demonstrated that AAO morphologies have influence on the performance of the AAO-based capacitive touch sensors. The variation of the capacitance of the sensors is investigated in this work for the AAO structures produced from anodization in an attempt to select anodizing conditions for a biological application aiming to detect small microorganisms such as bacterial colonies of Escherichia coli. This work is devoted to the study of the influence of different anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) morphologies on the sensitivity and performance of an AAO-based capacitive touch sensor.![]()

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prognosis is one of the most challenging questions with which physicians are confronted. Accuracy in the prediction of survival is necessary for clinical, ethical, and organizational reasons. AIM Evaluate young doctors' clinical prediction of survival and the aids they could get: expert opinion, Palliative Prognostic score, and Palliative Prognostic Index. DESIGN Prospective, observational study. SETTING/PARTICIPANTS Advanced cancer patients under observation of an inhospital palliative care team, from April to July 2014. A total of 38 patients were included, mostly male (65.8%), average age 68.5 years. Average survival time was 24 days. Follow-up concluded with death or after 90 days. RESULTS Young doctors' clinical prediction of survival was adequate at 10.5%, with 55.3% severe errors in an optimistic direction. Palliative care experts were more adequate (23.7%) and made less severe errors (42.1%). Palliative Prognostic score and Palliative Prognostic Index were even more adequate (47% and 55%, respectively) and made even less severe errors (0% and 11%, respectively). The best correlation with observed survival was achieved when palliative care experts used palliative prognostic score ( rs = -0.629; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Young doctors' clinical prediction of survival is often inadequate. Palliative Prognostic score, which includes clinical prediction of survival, calculated by palliative care experts had the best performance. Our results support the recommendation of using clinical prediction of survival together with prognostic scores.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Biopharmaceuticals are an important class of drugs for the treatment of autoimmune/inflammatory and oncologic diseases. With patent expiries, biotechnological manufacturers can now develop biosimilar drugs. Due to timeliness of introducing new and more complex biosimilars, the Portuguese Association of Hospital Pharmacists gathered to develop a common positioning on the use of biosimilar monoclonal antibodies. MAIN ISSUES The European pathway to biosimilar approval was developed to improve affordability and access to biological therapies, but it remains a work in progress because unresolved issues remain. Due to the present reality of biosimilar monoclonal antibodies, hospital pharmacists must play an important role in ensuring the safe, effective and cost-effective use of biosimilars in health systems; and educating healthcare administrators, providers, legislators, policymakers, payors and patients about these products. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION The conclusions presented in this work focused on the proposal for optimal biosimilar prescription criteria, the preparation of original biologics and biosimilars in the pharmacy, the management and selection of suppliers, extrapolation issues, the specific role of pharmacovigilance and risk management for the optimal use of biosimilar monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract
New emerging concepts as "wireless hospital", "mobile healthcare" or "wearable telemonitoring" require the development of bio-signal acquisition devices to be easily integrated into the clinical routine. In this work, we present a new system for Electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition and its processing, with wireless transmission on demand (either the complete ECG or only one alarm message, just in case a pathological heart rate detected). Size and power consumption are optimized in order to provide mobility and comfort to the patient. We have designed a modular hardware system and an autonomous platform based on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for developing and debugging. The modular approach allows to redesign the system in an easy way. Its adaptation to a new biomedical signal would only need small changes on it. The hardware system is composed of three layers that can be plugged/unplugged: communication layer, processing layer and sensor layer. In addition, we also present a general purpose end-user application developed for mobile phones or Personal Digital Assistant devices (PDAs).
