Abstract	Foodborne botulism is a serious, acutely evolving disease with digestive and neurological symptoms resulting from the ingestion of various types of food containing toxins formed by Clostridium botulinum in the food itself, usually smoked meats, canned goods and preserved foods. sporadic or epidemic. In recent decades there has been an increase in its incidence in Portugal. The authors present a case report of botulism that culminated in the identification of a common origin (intake of smoked food products) for four other cases. Case: A 47-year-old patient had clinical signs of diplopia, dysphagia, fever, dizziness, blurred vision, dry mouth and constipation, and gastrointestinal complaints. History of intake of smoked product 48-72 hours before resorting to SU. Internship for study. He presented changes in EMG compatible with presynaptic neuromuscular block. It was possible to isolate the botulinum toxin in a patient's serum and in the food product. The patient recovered completely from the clinical picture only with supportive therapy and physical therapy. This case is intended to alert to this clinical entity, which is not uncommon, presents difficulties in diagnosis for those unfamiliar with the condition, emphasizing that it is essentially clinical with a suggestive epidemiological context, confirmed by typical electromyographic changes and by the identification of the toxin involved. In Portugal, only cases associated with the ingestion of type B and E toxins are described, and anti-toxin serum is not required.

Abstract	Land and climate are strongly connected through multiple interface processes and climate change may lead to significant changes in land use. In this study, high-resolution observational gridded datasets are used to assess modifications in the Köppen–Geiger and Worldwide Bioclimatic (WBCS) Classification Systems, from 1950–1979 to 1990–2019 in Portugal. A compound bioclimatic-shift exposure index (BSEI) is also defined to identify the most exposed regions to recent climatic changes. The temporal evolution of land cover with vineyards and olive groves between 1990 and 2018, as well as correlations with areas with bioclimatic shifts, are analyzed. Results show an increase of CSa Warm Mediterranean climate with hot summer of 18.1%, followed by a decrease in CSb (warm summer) climate of −17.8%. The WBCS Temperate areas also reveal a decrease of −5.11%. Arid and semi-arid ombrotypes areas increased, conversely humid to sub-humid ombrotypes decreased. Thermotypic horizons depict a shift towards warmer classes. BSEI highlights the most significant shifts in northwestern Portugal. Vineyards have been displaced towards regions that are either the coolest/humid, in the northwest, or the warmest/driest, in the south. For oliviculture, the general trend for a relative shift towards cool/humid areas suggests an attempt of the sector to adapt, despite the cover area growth in the south. As vineyards and olive groves in southern Portugal are commonly irrigated, options for the intensification of these crops in this region may threaten the already scarce water resources and challenge the future sustainability of these sectors.

Abstract	ABSTRACTThis paper is the second of a series that describes some of the main dataset resources presently shared through the GEOSS Platform. The GEOSS Platform was created as the technological tool to implement interoperability among the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS); it is a brokering infrastructure that presently brokers more than 190 autonomous data catalogs and information systems. This paper is focused on the analysis of the NextGEOSS datasets describing the data publishing process from NextGEOSS to the GEOSS platform. In particular, both the administrative registration and the technical registration were taken into consideration. One of the most important data shared by the GEOSS Platform are the NextGEOSS datasets: the present study provides some insights in terms of GEOSS user searches for NextGEOSS data.

Abstract	The assessment of aridity conditions is a key factor for water management and the implementation of mitigation and adaptation policies in agroforestry systems. Towards this aim, three aridity indices were computed for the Iberian Peninsula (IP): the De Martonne Index (DMI), the Pinna Combinative Index (PCI), and the Erinç Aridity Index (EAI). These three indices were first computed for the baseline period 1961–1990, using gridded observational data (E-OBS), and subsequently, for the periods 2011–2040 (short range) and 2041–2070 (medium range), using an ensemble of six regional climate model (RCM) experiments generated by the EURO-CORDEX project. Two representative concentration pathways (RCPs) were analyzed, an intermediate anthropogenic radiative forcing scenario (RCP4.5) and a fossil-intensive emission scenario (RCP8.5). Overall, the three indices disclose a strengthening of aridity and dry conditions in central and southern Iberia until 2070, mainly under RCP8.5. Strong (weak) statistically significant correlations were found between these indices and the total mean precipitation (mean temperature) along with projected significant decreasing (increasing) trends for precipitation (temperature). The prevalence of years with arid conditions (above 70% for 2041–2070 under both RCPs) are projected to have major impacts in some regions, such as southern Portugal, Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha, Comunidad de Madrid, Andalucía, Región de Murcia, Comunidad Valenciana, and certain regions within the Aragón province. The projected increase in both the intensity and persistence of aridity conditions in a broader southern half of Iberia will exacerbate the exposure and vulnerability of this region to climate change, while the risk of multi-level desertification should be thoroughly integrated into regional and national water management and planning.

Abstract	The incidence of hepatobiliary malignancies, and especially intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), for patients with Wilson’s disease (WD), is very low, even for cirrhotic patients. It has been suggested that hepatobiliary carcinomas are less frequent in Wilson’s disease (WD) than in liver diseases of other etiology. However, the protective role of copper against malignancies is debated. Only a few cases of cholangiocarcinoma (CCC) in WD have been published. Here we report a case of a 39-year-old female, WD diagnosed at 19-year-old based on low ceruloplasmin level, low serum copper, and increased urinary copper. She was followed up and treated with chelating agents throughout nineteen years, after this asymptomatic period she reported abdominal pain. MRI showed hepatic lesions not suggestive of hemangiomas and a nodular lesion of 15mm in the right lobe. Liver biopsy was made, with non-specific fibrosis; negative for malignancy. Few months later she was admitted in the hospital because of rapidly development of epigastric/right hypochondrium abdominal pain with four days of evolution, anorexia and asthenia. Biopsy revealed cholangiocarcinoma as the primary tumor confirmed by strong CK7 and CK20 positivity. The curiosity of the presented case is the very rapid development of CCC despite continuous chelating agent therapy.

Abstract	The implications of weather and climate extremes on the viticulture and winemaking sector can be particularly detrimental and acquire more relevance under a climate change context. A four-member ensemble of the Regional Climate Model-Global Climate Model chain simulations is used to evaluate the potential impacts of climate change on indices of extreme temperature and precipitation, as well as on agroclimatic indices of viticultural suitability in the Douro Wine Region, Portugal, under current and future climate conditions, following the RCP8.5 anthropogenic radiative forcing scenario. Historical (1989–2005) and future (2051–2080) periods are considered for this purpose. Although model outputs are bias-corrected to improve the accuracy of the results, owing to the sensitivity of the climatic indicators to the specific bias correction method, the performance of the linear and quantile mapping methods are compared. The results hint at the importance of choosing the most accurate method (quantile mapping), not only in replicating extremes events but also in reproducing the accumulated agroclimatic indices. Significant differences between the bias correction methods are indeed found for the number of extremely warm days (maximum temperature > 35 °C), number of warm spells, number of warm spell days, number of consecutive dry days, the Dryness Index, and growing season precipitation. The Huglin Index reveals lower sensitivity, thus being more robust to the choice of the method. Hence, an unsuitable bias correction method may hinder the accuracy of climate change projections in studies heavily relying on derived extreme indices and agroclimatic indicators, such as in viticulture. Regarding the climate change signal, significant warming and drying trends are projected throughout the target region, which is supported by previous studies, but also accompanied by an increase of intensity, frequency, and duration of extreme events, namely heatwaves and dry spells. These findings thereby corroborate the need to adopt ...

Abstract	Diabetic cystopathy is a common complication in patients with diabetes mellitus. It may cause a variety of manifestations ranging from bladder hyperactivity to decreased bladder contractibility. However, the presence of bladder dysfunction in diabetic patients is often underdiagnosed by clinicians. We present a case report of a 54-year-old woman with a medical history of diabetes with recurrent lower urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis. Her bladder dysfunction was never assessed until she was admitted to our department. We identified an impaired sensation of bladder filling and an inability to voluntarily contract the detrusor. We provided pharmacological treatment to enhance bladder emptying and proposed a new bladder-emptying regimen. The patient remains with this therapeutic strategy with no evidence of further complications. This case aims to raise awareness among clinicians about diabetic bladder dysfunction.

Abstract	Waste heat emissions derived from cooling systems of the thermal power plant often discharged into rivers, lakes and seas, have been the direct cause of environmental problems for marine life. To control these wastewater discharges into the receptor water body, government regulations have been created to act as limiting factors for additional power generation from these plants. The problem can be solved with an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), which is considered a promising technology in electricity generation and an alternative to avoid the thermal pollution of aquatic ecosystems. The present work analyzes the use of an ORC system aiming to increase the thermal and overall efficiency of conventional operating systems without causing an additional thermal impact on marine species. This evaluation was based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics, applied to seven organic fluids (toluene, methanol, benzene, R11, R12, R113, R134a) and equations that linked the overall efficiency of the power plant with parameters of life quality in the rivers. Results showed that among the chosen organic fluids benzene produced the highest thermal efficiency for the ORC. Besides, an application of the proposed modelling in a thermal power plant localized near to Tubarão river, SC – Brazil was presented. Results showed that by using R113 as working fluid, it is possible to generate up to 1365.02 kWelec of additional electrical energy and increase both thermal and overall efficiency of a thermal power plant by up to 22.34% and 11.01%, respectively, without causing a thermal impact on the aquatic ecosystem. The best energy use was achieved by the recuperative ORC configuration. The Dissolved Oxygen Concentration (DOC) was reduced to 6.14 %day−1, which is consistent with the regulation of the Brazilian government regarding effluent discharges in lagoons, rivers and seas. On the other hand, considering the electricity cost at 0.16 US$kWh−1 and 5% as an annual percentage rate (APR), results in a payback period of approximately 5.3 years. Thus, the specific investment cost (SIC) of this technology was estimated at 1314.57 US$kWe−1.
