    Abstract Pulmonary artery sarcoma (PAS) is a rare and aggressive mesenchymal tumor with an overall poor prognosis1-5. Due to similar clinical and radiologic findings, PAS is often misdiagnosed as a pulmonary embolism (PE) frequently leading to prolonged anticoagulation therapy, which delays the correct diagnosis 1-3. By presenting this clinical case our objective is to emphasize characteristic CT findings that favour a neoplastic origin of a pulmonary intravascular filling defect. PET-CT and MRI have also an important potential role in its diagnosis and therapeutical management.

    Abstract In the last decades, the field of metagenomics aided by NGS technologies has grown exponentially and is now a cornerstone tool in medicine. However, even with the current technologies, obtaining a conclusive identification of an organism can be challenging due to using reference-based methods. Consequently, when releasing a new repository of genomic data that contains de-novo sequences, it is problematic to characterize its content. In this paper, we propose a novel method for organism identification and the creation and characterization of genomic databases. For identification, we propose a three-step pipeline for reference-free reconstruction, reference-based classification and features-based classification. On the other hand, for content exposition and extraction, the sequences and their identification are aggregated into a web database catalogue.

    Abstract Single Sign-On (SSO) methods are the primary solution to authenticate users across multiple web systems. These mechanisms streamline the authentication procedure by avoiding duplicate developments of authentication modules for each application. Besides, these mechanisms also provide convenience to the end-user by keeping the user authenticated when switching between different contexts. To ensure this cross-application authentication, SSO relies on an Identity Provider (IdP), which is commonly set up and managed by each institution that needs to enforce SSO internally. However, the solution is not so straightforward when several institutions need to cooperate in a unique ecosystem. This could be tackled by centralizing the authentication mechanisms in one of the involved entities, a solution raising responsibilities that may be difficult for peers to accept. Moreover, this solution is not appropriate for dynamic groups, where peers may join or leave frequently. In this paper, we propose an architecture that uses a trusted third-party service to authenticate multiple entities, ensuring the isolation of the user's attributes between this service and the institutional SSO systems. This architecture was validated in the EHDEN Portal, which includes web tools and services of this European health project, to establish a Federated Authentication schema.

    Abstract High-resolution distributed reinforcement strain measurements can provide invaluable information for developing and evaluating numerical and analytical models of reinforced concrete structures. A recent testing campaign conducted at UCLouvain in Belgium used fiber-optic sensors embedded along several longitudinal steel rebars of three reinforced concrete U-shaped walls. The resulting experimental dataset provides an opportunity to evaluate and compare, for different types of loading, the strain measurements obtained with the fiber-optic sensors in the confined core of the structural member against more conventional and state-of-the-practice sensors that monitor surface displacements and deformations. This work highlights the need to average strain measurements from digital image correlation techniques in order to obtain coherent results with the strains measured from fiber optics, and investigates proposals to achieve this relevant goal for research and engineering practices. The longitudinal strains measured by the fiber optics also provide additional detailed information on the behavior of these wall units compared to the more conventional instrumentation, such as strain penetration into the foundation and head of the wall units, which are studied in detail.

    Abstract Iron ore tailings (IOTs) need to be properly managed to mitigate the environmental, social, and economic impacts of mining activities. To cope with this issue, we use data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate alternatives for using IOT in the construction sector. The classical and weight restriction output-oriented DEA models were used in this analysis. The results show that the ranking of alternatives depends on the aspect being evaluated. Concrete block is the most environmentally friendly alternative when analysing both models. For both social and economic aspects, ceramics produced better results in the classical model, whereas Portland cement showed better outcomes in the weight restriction model. In this sense, the results suggest great potential for the use of IOT in the construction sector, enabling the reduction of risks and social and environmental impacts of tailings dams.

    Abstract Invasive prolactinomas often require multimodal management including medical and surgical interventions. Here, we present the case of a 34-year-old man with a history of progressive visual disturbances. MRI unveiled a sella lesion with suprasellar and retrosellar extensions. Elevated prolactin levels (6125 ng/mL) confirmed the diagnosis of prolactinoma, leading to initiation of medical treatment, with gradual escalation to maximum dosing. The patient achieved only partial hormonal response and incomplete improvement of symptoms, and therefore, surgical intervention was pursued with objective of maximum safe resection. The patient consented to the procedure. An endonasal endoscopic approach was selected. Surgical procedures encompassed transsellar, transtuberculum, and transplanum approaches, extended laterally to expose the right parasellar carotid and the anterior wall of the cavernous sinus. Subsequent steps involved opening the sellar and suprasellar dura mater, anterior wall of the cavernous sinus, and transcavernous hemipituitary transposition for access to the retrosellar region.1-5 Debulking of the lesion was performed, followed by dissection of the retrosellar space and resection of tumor component within the interpeduncular cistern. Reconstruction employed dura substitute and vascularized nasoseptal flap. Histopathology confirmed diagnosis of prolactinoma. Postoperative MRI findings and significantly improved prolactin levels (50 ng/mL) were compatible with near total resection. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, resulting in discharge on the second postoperative day. The patient was additionally started on cabergoline 0.5 mg 2x/week to achieve hormonal control. This case demonstrates the application of surgical anatomy and its translation in modern surgical techniques that allow improved resection of such complex tumors while ensuring optimal clinical outcomes.

    Abstract Mosquitoes are vectors for arboviruses, such as dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya. Symbiotic interactions can affect the intrinsic ability of mosquitoes to acquire and transmit arboviruses, referred to as vector competence. Insect-specific viruses (ISVs) are commonly found in symbiotic associations with mosquitoes in the wild and can affect many aspects of mosquito biology. Here, we review current knowledge on the effects of symbiotic ISV-mosquito interactions on vector competence. We discuss potential mechanisms underlying these interactions and their implications for shaping new biological control strategies. Finally, we highlight the need for field data analyzing the circulation of ISVs in mosquitoes associated with mechanistic studies in the laboratory.

    Abstract Real-world data collections are generally not easily available. Energy measurements from buildings, houses and other devices can be used within different areas of research while being employed to plan or train models, allowing the improvement of power grid energy efficiency or providing more insight on how an energy community can work. This paper provides a dataset concerning a Portuguese community of 172 households that are geographically close to each other, enabling the establishment of relationships among buildings and the analysis of a community's power consumption. In addition to the consumed energy values, the related local weather information is included in the data. The intersection of weather data and energy measurements can be helpful to train AI models, contributing to explain variations in energy consumption and the absolute values of the energy readings. The inclusion of these weather parameters aims to unveil features that can correlate to the energy measurements, enabling them to be used in multiple areas of research. Hence, it will provide added value to the data as it can be reused to explore Machine Learning algorithms or community energy planning by grid operators.
