TL;DR: An analysis of the prevalence and number of prescriptions for people with chronic respiratory diseases receiving HRC in the Lisbon metropolitan area, during 2014-2018, using the information obtained from the PEM-CRD database shows that while the number of patients receiving HRC treatment with a prescription has remained stable over the last four years, the number has significantly dropped since 2016.

TL;DR: Five macrocyclic copper(II) complexes are synthesized and evaluated their ability to scavenge the superoxide anions generated by the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system, finding some of the presented complexes appear to be promising superoxide scavenger agents, and should be considered for further biological assays.

TL;DR: There is an overlap between virulence and multidrug resistance for hospital-acquired UTI K. pneumoniae pathogens, despite the production of β-lactamase and even with the presence of CTX-M-15 ESBL, a successful international ST15 clone, which were identified in both settings.

TL;DR: The use of GE that act as extrinsic motivation promotors (e.g., numeric feedback system) may jeopardize patients' long-term adherence to interventions, mainly if associated with progressive difficulty-increase of gaming experience.

TL;DR: The molecular screening led to the first identification of the A. baumannii KPC-3 producer in Portugal with a full antimicrobial resistance profile including tigecycline and colistin.
