IPO Coimbra receives highest distinction in heart health protection

Notícias de Coimbra1 September 2026 at 21:10

The Portuguese Institute of Oncology (IPO) of Coimbra received the highest distinction in heart health protection. This certification recognizes the institution's work in preserving the cardiovascular health of cancer patients during treatments.

The distinction is particularly relevant because cancer patients are naturally focused on fighting cancer, and may not be aware that some cancer treatments can affect heart health.

IPO Coimbra thus demonstrates its commitment to providing oncological care that does not compromise the long-term quality of life of its patients, ensuring an integrated approach that protects both the effectiveness of cancer treatment and cardiovascular health.

This certification represents a recognition of the implementation of protocols and practices that monitor and protect the heart throughout the entire cancer treatment process at the institute.

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.
