Implementação de um sistema Kanban® na reposição de grandes volumes em dose unitária

Introdução. O sistema de distribuição em dose unitária tem por base a dispensa de medicação na dose prescrita, de forma individualizada. Este sistema de distribuição é vantajoso, pois torna a dispensa de medicamentos individualizada e dirigida ao doente, e diminui o stock existente nas enfermarias. Contudo, assume também desvantagens, sendo crucial que todos os medicamentos e produtos farmacêuticos estejam disponíveis e individualizados, sempre que necessários. De modo a assegurar uma adequada reposição de stocks no sector de Dose Unitária, o Centro Hospitalar de São João, EPE (CHSJ, EPE) implementou o sistema Kanban® como método de reposição. Assim, foi desenvolvido um conjunto de cartões-Kanban®, existindo diferentes cores que caracterizam diferentes grupos de produtos: [1] azul, produtos que necessitam de manipulação; [2] verde, produtos que se encontram na sua apresentação final; [3] roxo, produtos de grande volume que necessitam de manipulação. Deste modo, quando o stock de um produto está a terminar, compete aos Técnicos de Farmácia colocar o Kanban® no Quadro de Reposição, para que seja iniciado o processo de reposição. Face a algumas limitações associadas ao tamanho dos cartões anteriormente implementados, este trabalho visa desenvolver e implementar o Kanban® verde, através de um sistema de dupla identificação, utilizando duas etiquetas identificativas: uma verde, removível, que é colocada no Quadro de Reposição quando o stock termina, e uma amarela, fixa, alertando para a necessidade de repor o produto em causa. Material e Métodos. Efectuou-se um estudo do tipo investigação-acção no qual foram analisados todos os medicamentos e produtos farmacêuticos que não sofrem qualquer processo de manipulação entre a chegada aos Serviços Farmacêuticos e o seu envio para os Serviços Clínicos. Resultados. Da implementação deste sistema de dupla identificação, com base no modelo de rótulos pré-definido na instituição, resultaram um conjunto de rótulos identificativos dos vários produtos. Discussão/Conclusões. O stock do sector de Dose Unitária do CHSJ, EPE encontra-se organizado de duas formas: os medicamentos que necessitam de manipulação, que atendendo ao seu pequeno volume estão armazenados em gavetas, enquanto os restantes, pelo seu maior volume, são armazenados em estantes, com a devida identificação. Considerando que os novos Kanban® têm por base substituir os já existentes, acreditamos que alguma dificuldade existente será melhorada. A diferença na coloração das etiquetas designativas alertará para a necessidade de reposição, situação que poderia passar despercebida. Face à falta de literatura publicada, não existe qualquer informação que sustente os resultados esperados, porém acreditamos que este estudo pode servir de base ao desenvolvimento deste sistema noutras instituições, e como experiência do sucesso/insucesso da utilização do Sistema Kanba

Updating Fragility Curves for Portuguese Pre-Seismic Code Reinforced Concrete Buildings

This paper is part of a broader study under development at LNEC with the main aim of defining general policies for the cost-effective seismic retrofitting of the existing Portuguese building stock. The paper will summarise the methodology implemented for determining accurate capacity and fragility curves of existing pre-seismic design code reinforced concrete (RC) buildings when subjected to seismic action. The methodology involved the definition of probabilistic models of relevant input variables (geometry and materials), performing advanced numerical models of RC buildings under seismic action, setting of appropriate limit states and finally analysis of the results in order to derive the updated curves for Portuguese building stock. This paper will also present a comparison between curves obtained from the current study and the corresponding curves currently being used in LNEC’s seismic risk assessment platform (LNECloss).info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Reconstrucción Mejorada de Datos de Resonancia Magnética Mediante Aproximación por Descomposición por Valores Singulares

The reconstruction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data can be a computationally demanding task. Signal-to-noise ratio is also a concern, especially in high-resolution imaging. Data compression may be useful not only for reducing reconstruction complexity and memory requirements, but also for reducing noise, as it is capable of eliminating spurious components.This work proposes the use of a singular value decomposition low-rank approximation for reconstruction and denoising of MRI data. The Akaike Information Criterion is used to estimate the appropriate model order, which is used to remove noise components and to reduce the amount of data to be stored and processed. The proposed method is evaluated using in vivo MRI data. We present images reconstructed using less than 20% of the original data size, and with a similar quality in terms of visual inspection. A quantitative evaluation is also presentedLa reconstrucción de datos de resonancia magnética (RM) puede ser una tarea computacionalmente ardua. La razón señal-ruido también puede presentar complicaciones, especialmente en imágenes de alta resolución. En este sentido, la compresión de datos puede ser útil no sólo para reducir la complejidad y los requerimientos de memoria, sino también para reducir el ruido, hasta inclusive permitir eliminar componentes espurios.El presente trabajo propone el uso de un sistema basado en la descomposición por valores singulares de bajo orden para reconstrucción y reducción de ruido en imágenes de RM. El criterio de información de Akaike se utiliza para estimar el orden del modelo, que es usado para remover los componentes ruidosos y reducir la cantidad de datos procesados y almacenados. El método propuesto es evaluado usando datos de RM in vivo. Se presentan imágenes reconstruidas con menos de 20% de los datos originales y con calidad similar en cuanto a su inspección visual. Igualmente se presenta una evaluación cuantitativa del método

Usefulness of genetic characterization of narcolepsy and hypersomnia on phenotype definition: a study in Portuguese patients

The determination of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genotype is widely used to confirm the diagnosis of narcolepsy with or without cataplexy. The HLA genotyping is reliable, easy to perform and reassures the clinician. It is also less invasive than other methodologies and is in accordance with the autoimmune hypothesis for the origin of narcolepsy. AIM. To assess the usefulness of genetic markers (HLA) in the differential diagnosis between different sleep disorders and their relevance in the context of our population

Time series for incidences, orders and invoicing forecast

The use of series study for forecasting is particularly relevant. Its use in a business context can somehow adjust the business strategy. In this context, the work reported in this article corresponds to an empirical study in which the best way to predict using several classical methods in the context of econometrics was identified. The results presented show significant differences in function of the analysed realities. Forecast errors associated with incidents are less than orders or invoicing. One of the relevant results of the work presented here was the creation of a solution that can be used by managers for decision making

a brief note on oceanic history, science and literacy

UID/HIS/04666/2013The UNESCO Chair “Ocean’s Cultural Heritage” held by NOVA University (Lisbon, Portugal) since 2016 is unique worldwide and brings to the spotlight the importance of obtaining knowledge on and of the management of tangible and intangible cultural and natural heritage of the open oceans, underwater realm and coastlines. Supported on a transatlantic network of researchers and their respective scientific and educational activities, topics under the umbrella of the early modern history of oceans such as underwater archaeology, maritime cultural landscapes, marine environmental history, cultures and societies, environments and resources management, are to be addressed and developed. These themes are part of the current international agendas for science, development and cooperation, and the UNESCO Chairs programme offers the adequate framework for the establishment of networking, for new common and integrated projects. This Chair also enhances the UNESCO principles of knowledge sharing, social solidarity, and establishing the basis for the development of good practices. As such, social sciences and humanities can contribute to inform on multiple societal challenges such as the changing conditions of marine ecosystems, climate change, heritage preservation and, also, ocean literacy. Here we are presenting the insights and motivations to develop such a UNESCO Chair and a related networking European project, both including components of research, education and outreach. Not aiming at presenting research or a global review, we intend to present main goals of the UNESCO Chair “Ocean’s Cultural Heritage” and to highlight how different disciplines can contribute to the construction of knowledge and preservation of memory about the Atlantic since early modern times.publishersversionpublishe

Exploring the Impact of Copper Oxide Substitution on Structure, Morphology, Bioactivity, and Electrical Properties of 45S5 Bioglass®

Funding Information: This research was funded by FEDER funds through the COMPETE 2020 Program and National Funds through the FCT—Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology under the project LISBOA-01-0247-FEDER-039985/POCI-01-0247-FEDER-039985 of the Associate Laboratory Institute of Nanostructures, Nanomodelling and Nanofabrication—i3N. S.K. Jakka acknowledges the FCT—Fundaçao para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, Portugal, I.P., in the scope of the framework contract foreseen in numbers 4, 5, and 6 of article 23 of the Decree Law 57/2016 of 29 August, changed by Law 57/2017 of 19 July. Publisher Copyright: © 2024 by the authors.In recent decades, the requirements for implantable medical devices have increased, but the risks of implant rejection still exist. These issues are primarily associated with poor osseointegration, leading to biofilm formation on the implant surface. This study focuses on addressing these issues by developing a biomaterial for implant coatings. 45S5 bioglass® has been widely used in tissue engineering due to its ability to form a hydroxyapatite layer, ensuring a strong bond between the hard tissue and the bioglass. In this context, 45S5 bioglasses®, modified by the incorporation of different amounts of copper oxide, from 0 to 8 mol%, were synthesized by the melt–quenching technique. The incorporation of Cu ions did not show a significant change in the glass structure. Since the bioglass exhibited the capacity for being polarized, thereby promoting the osseointegration effectiveness, the electrical properties of the prepared samples were studied using the impedance spectroscopy method, in the frequency range of 102–106 Hz and temperature range of 200–400 K. The effects of CuO on charge transport mobility were investigated. Additionally, the bioactivity of the modified bioglasses was evaluated through immersion tests in simulated body fluid. The results revealed the initiation of a Ca–P-rich layer formation on the surface within 24 h, indicating the potential of the bioglasses to enhance the bone regeneration process.publishersversionpublishe

Estimating harvested rainwater at greenhouses in south Portugal aquifer Campina de Faro for potential infiltration in Managed Aquifer Recharge

The Campina de Faro (CF) aquifer system, located on the south coast of Portugal, is an important source of groundwater, mostly used for agriculture purposes. In some areas, this multi-layered aquifer is contaminated with high concentration of nitrates, possibly arising from excessive usage of fertilizers, reaching to values as high as 300 mg/L.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
