In this paper, we present a low-cost energy-efficient electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR) antenna-based wireless sensor network (WSN) Nail Polish node designed for IEEE 802.15.4 standard that is capable of performing direction of arrival (DoA) estimation in real-life outdoor environments.To this end, we propose the WSN node ar
Introduction: Carbon monoxide Unprocessed Virgin Hair Closure poisoning may occur in several contexts.Material and Methods: Retrospective of 37 carbon monoxide poisoning cases that underwent hyperbaric oxygen during wildfires in Funchal in August 2016.Results: The studied sample included 37 patients, mean age of 38 years, 78% males.Ten were firefig
Background: Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (A/NSAIDs) are the mainstay treatments for acute pericarditis.We sought to identify factors predicting failure of A/NSAIDs and switch to corticosteroid treatment (STCT) as well as the impact of STCT on pericarditis recurrence.Methods: We enrolled 148 patients with acute pericarditis recei
Guidelines now recommend endovenous thermal ablation over open Nail Polish treatment of saphenous incompetence, but flush saphenofemoral ligation and stripping remain relevant when appropriately applied and expertly executed.Complications are rare but could be severe, needing further surgical correction.We report a unique case of a late venous pseu
