Viana do Castelo hosts over 150 national and international radiology specialists

Rádio Alto Minho1 September 2026 at 20:40

Viana do Castelo hosts a radiology course that brings together more than 150 national and international specialists in the field. The event takes place at the Municipal Theatre Sá de Miranda and represents an important moment of continuing education for radiology professionals.

The initiative is organized by the Portuguese Society of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, in collaboration with the American Institute for Radiologic Pathology. This international partnership gives the course a transatlantic dimension and access to internationally recognized teaching methodologies.

The course program focuses on the analysis and discussion of clinical-radiological cases, with particular emphasis on the connection between Radiology and Anatomical Pathology. This interdisciplinary approach allows participants a more integrated understanding of diagnoses.

Among the topics covered, sessions dedicated to gastrointestinal imaging are included, contributing to the updating of knowledge of the specialists present at the event in Viana do Castelo.

When the last child leaves, the house falls silent: how empty nest syndrome transforms those left behind

The empty nest syndrome is an emotional reaction of abandonment and profound sadness felt by parents when the last child leaves the family home, representing a mandatory identity reconfiguration in which parental roles no longer require daily practical action. The article explores how the experience materializes physically in the living space, with many parents avoiding the vacated rooms or preserving their children's objects as a "temporary museum." In single-parent families, the impact is particularly intense, as the child frequently served as the main interlocutor; in couples, the departure may reveal emotional distance masked by the daily bustle. Scientific literature views this condition as an indispensable developmental transition, not a pathology, and recommends reclaiming personal projects, investing in community routines, and building new attachment models with young adults. Specialists such as Robert Waldinger emphasize that meaningful bonds transform, they do not disappear, and that the departure of children represents an opportunity to transform the abandoned nest into a territory of renewal.

Breastfeeding is associated with fewer antibiotic resistance genes in babies

A scientific study revealed that breastfeeding is associated with a lower presence of antibiotic resistance genes in babies. The research showed that intestinal bacteria begin to acquire and establish resistance genes from the very first moments of life, and that babies fed with breast milk present a significantly lower load of these genes compared to babies fed with bottles. The results highlight the importance of breastfeeding in modulating the infant gut microbiome and in combating antimicrobial resistance, considered one of the main global public health challenges.
