- ANÁLISE DA OFERTA DE ENOTURISMO DA REGIÃO TEJOPublication . Santos, Vasco; Santos, Eulália; Oliveira, Simão; Caldeira, Ana; Martinho, FilipaO enoturismo é um dos produtos turísticos que mais se tem desenvolvido nas últimas décadas a nível mundial, sendo uma área que requer uma constante investigação e monitorização, por forma a adequar a oferta à evolução da procura. Este estudo, inserido no projeto de investigação científica, "Wine Experience and Sensations: Wine Heritage & Culture Explorer in Tejo Region", tem como propósito analisar a oferta de enoturismo da região Tejo, através da identificação, reconhecimento e levantamento das estruturas ou condições existentes em cada uma das unidades de enoturismo da região, certificadas pela Comissão Vitivinícola Regional do Tejo (CVR Tejo). A metodologia usada foi baseada num formulário de identificação da oferta do enoturismo do Tejo realizado pela CVR Tejo, aplicada aos responsáveis das unidades de enoturismo em estudo, obtendo-se uma amostra por conveniência no total de 26 unidades de enoturismo. A análise estatística foi realizada com recurso às técnicas de estatística descritiva, através do software IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Concluiu-se que as quintas de enoturismo da região Tejo cumprem os requisitos ao nível dos serviços básicos requeridos numa unidade de enoturismo, isto é, todas efetuam provas de vinho e circuito de visitas à adega e a maioria disponibiliza o circuito de visitas às vinhas, o que vai de encontro aos dados do Turismo de Portugal, no que se refere às atividades mais procuradas por enoturistas.
- Clube Português do Pâncreas Recommendations for Chronic Pancreatitis: Etiology, Natural History, and Diagnosis (Part I)Publication . Rodrigues-Pinto, Eduardo; Caldeira, Ana; Soares, João Bruno; Antunes, Teresa; Carvalho, Joana Rita; Costa-Maia, José; Oliveira, Pedro; Azevedo, Richard; Liberal, Rodrigo; Bouça Machado, Tiago; Pereira, Vitor; Moutinho-Ribeiro, PedroChronic pancreatitis (CP) is a heterogeneous disease, with different causes and often a long delay between onset and full classic presentation. Clinical presentation depends on the stage of the disease. In earlier stages, recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis are the major signs dominating clinical presentation. As the inflammatory process goes on, less acute episodes occur, and pain adopts different aspects or may even disappear. After 10-15 years from onset, functional insufficiency occurs. Then, a classic presentation with pain and pancreatic exocrine and endocrine insufficiency appears. Diagnosis remains challenging in the early stages of the disease, as its initial presentation is usually ill-defined and overlaps with other digestive disorders. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography should be the first choice in patients with suspected CP. If the results are normal or equivocal but still there is a high suspicion of CP, the next option should be endoscopic ultrasound. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is mainly a therapeutic technique, and for the diagnostic purpose should only be used when all other imaging modalities and pancreatic function tests have been exhausted. Indirect tests are used to quantify the degree of insufficiency in already-established late CP. Recommendations on CP were developed by Clube Português do Pâncreas (CPP), based on literature review to answer predefined topics, subsequently discussed and approved by all members of CPP. Recommendations are separated in two parts: "chronic pancreatitis etiology, natural history, and diagnosis," and "chronic pancreatitis medical, endoscopic, and surgical treatment." This abstract pertains to part I.
- Clube Português do Pâncreas Recommendations for Chronic Pancreatitis: Medical, Endoscopic, and Surgical Treatment (Part II)Publication . Rodrigues-Pinto, Eduardo; Caldeira, Ana; Soares, João Bruno; Antunes, Teresa; Carvalho, Joana Rita; Costa-Maia, José; Oliveira, Pedro; Azevedo, Richard; Liberal, Rodrigo; Bouça Machado, Tiago; Magno-Pereira, Vitor; Moutinho-Ribeiro, PedroChronic pancreatitis (CP) is a complex disease that should be treated by experienced teams of gastroenterologists, radiologists, surgeons, and nutritionists in a multidisciplinary environment. Medical treatment includes lifestyle modification, nutrition, exocrine and endocrine pancreatic insufficiency correction, and pain management. Up to 60% of patients will ultimately require some type of endoscopic or surgical intervention for treatment. However, regardless of the modality, they are often ineffective unless smoking and alcohol cessation is achieved. Surgery retains a major role in the treatment of CP patients with intractable chronic pain or suspected pancreatic mass. For other complications like biliary or gastroduodenal obstruction, pseudocyst drainage can be performed endoscopically. The recommendations for CP were developed by Clube Português do Pâncreas (CPP), based on literature review to answer predefined topics, subsequently discussed and approved by all members of CPP. Recommendations are separated in two parts: "chronic pancreatitis etiology, natural history, and diagnosis," and "chronic pancreatitis medical, endoscopic, and surgical treatment."

- Wine Tourism Experience in the Tejo Region: The influence of sensory impressions on post-visit behaviour intentionsPublication . Santos, Vasco; Caldeira, Ana; Santos, Simão; Santos, Eulália; Ramos, PauloThis study aims to explore the influence of the wine tourism experience on visitors’ memorable sensory impressions, and the effects of these impressions on their recommendation and loyalty intentions. Methodologically, 306 usable questionnaires were collected from national and international wine tourists during their visits to the Tejo wine region. A structural equation model analysis was performed using PLS, to test the validity of the constructs and the model hypotheses. The structural equation model results revealed a differentiated impact of the various sensory impressions on future behavioural intentions, suggesting that wineries should attract tourists by more than visual elements and tasteflavour activities alone. As research limitations, the data were collected from only one wine tourism region. Future studies can investigate sensory impressions relating to winery and wine cellar visits in a cross‐cultural context, covering a wider spread of wine regions in Portugal and abroad. This paper provides wine tourism managers with valuable information on how cellar and winery experiences can be improved across a range of different sensory impression dimensions. This paper is the first to empirically test wine tourist the impact of the different sensory impressions on post-visit behaviour intentions in the context of the wine tourism experience.
