Esaurindo Simon Castro, jovem de 18 anos, da região de Aveiro, não resistiu aos ferimentos do acidente onde esteve envolvido em Famalicão, acabando por falecer.
Ele era um dos dois jovens que ficou com ferimentos graves, na sequência do despiste registado na manhã do último domingo, e que deixou a viatura com um elevado grau de destruição, na A3, em Vila Nova de Famalicão.
O colega, que o acompanhava na viatura, ainda se encontra internado em estado grave com prognóstico muito reservado.
A vítima mortal é sepultada esta sexta-feira, em Esmoriz, no concelho de Ovar, Aveiro.
O relatório sobre o setor da saúde em 2019 da Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Económico (OCDE), divulgado hoje, mostra um aumento generalizado no consumo de antidepressivos nos cerca de 30 países analisados, que entre 2000 e 2017 registaram, no conjunto, uma duplicação.
Portugal apresentava em 2017 um consumo de 104 doses diárias de antidepressivos por mil pessoas, quando em 2000 pouco ultrapassava as 30 doses diárias.
O relatório usa como indicador a “dose diária”, que representa a média indicada por dia para um medicamento usado por adultos para sua principal indicação terapêutica.
Portugal apresenta um consumo de 104 doses diárias por mil pessoas, quando a média dos países da OCDE é de 63.
Com maiores consumos do que Portugal surgem a Islândia, o Canadá, a Austrália e o Reino Unido.
Segundo o documento “Health at Glance 2019”, o aumento do consumo de antidepressivos pode refletir melhorias no reconhecimento e diagnóstico da depressão, a disponibilidade de terapias e a evolução de guias de orientação clínica.
Há contudo uma grande variação entre os países analisados e a Islândia tem, por exemplo, um consumo 10 vezes superior ao da Letónia, país com consumo mais reduzido.
O alerta da APDP surge a propósito do Dia Mundial da Diabetes (14 de novembro) que vai ser assinalado este ano com a campanha de sensibilização “Diabetes: Proteja a sua família”, promovida pela Internacional Diabetes Federation.
“Portugal é o país da União Europeia que tem mais pessoas com diabetes”, advertiu o presidente da APDP, José Manuel Boavida, para quem é “urgente mudar este paradigma”.
Os dados apontam “um quadro muito negro, de um peso enorme, com mais de um milhão de pessoas com diabetes e cerca de dois milhões de pessoas em risco de ter diabetes”, disse o endocrinologista à agência Lusa.
No total, são três milhões de pessoas com diabetes ou pré-diabetes, o que representa 40% da população portuguesa, números que considera “absolutamente esmagadores”.
Neste momento, “a diabetes é considerada a quarta causa de morte por si própria”, mas a doença está “subestimada na sua importância” porque ela “duplica ou triplica” a mortalidade nas pessoas com cancro, com doença respiratória e doenças cardiovasculares.
Por esta razão, José Manuel Boavida defendeu que a diabetes deve ser assumida como “um risco para a saúde pública” e “não como uma doença com a qual já se lida facilmente” e que já permite uma boa qualidade de vida.
“As pessoas com diabetes necessitam de um acompanhamento cada vez mais rigoroso e principalmente necessitamos de um diagnóstico precoce da diabetes (…) e das suas complicações a fim de minorar os seus impactos seja na mortalidade, nas amputações, na cegueira, nas insuficiências renais”, salientou.
O presidente da APDP salientou que mais de metade dos casos de diabetes tipo 2 são possíveis de prevenir com “hábitos simples” que começam em casa, como uma alimentação saudável, a prática de exercício físico e um ambiente familiar saudável.
“A campanha internacional é um alerta para recordar que as famílias têm um papel ativo a desempenhar na prevenção e gestão da diabetes e que os profissionais de saúde devem ter acesso a informação e ferramentas para ajudar os doentes e as suas famílias”, adiantou.
Apela também para a importância do diagnóstico precoce, uma das principais ferramentas para “prevenir ou adiar complicações que se podem revelar fatais”.
“Há dois milhões de pessoas com pré-diabetes que têm que ser diagnosticadas com urgência e isso implica que os centros de saúde e os cuidados primários tenham políticas ativas de rastreio dessa população”. Isso também implica que “a medicina do trabalho assuma as suas responsabilidades” porque muitas destas pessoas estão em idade ativa e não frequentam os centros de saúde.
“A ligação ou mesmo a integração da medicina do trabalho nos centros de saúde tem de ser equacionada e tem que se encontrar formas para que se possa avançar para que este rastreio seja sistematizado e que todas as pessoas tenham possibilidade de acesso”, defendeu.
Para o especialista, o Dia Mundial da Diabetes deve representar “um alerta que deve ter consequências ao nível da organização dos cuidados de saúde (…) e da participação das pessoas com diabetes na decisão política”.
Por outro lado, “as instituições não devem ficar fechadas sobre si próprias, não devem ter uma limitação da sua atividade. Devem ter permanentemente em atenção as pessoas que têm diabetes e que são o alvo principal de toda a nossa ação”.
A poucas semanas do arranque das festividades natalícias, a cidade de Vila Nova de Famalicão prepara-se para ser o “Lugar do Natal”. O slogan que dá o mote à campanha promovida pela Câmara Municipal e pela Associação Comercial e Industrial de Vila Nova de Famalicão é materializado através de um vasto programa de atividades que decorre entre 22 de novembro e 5 de janeiro e inclui circo de papel, pista de gelo, carrocel, espetáculo multimédia, mercado de Natal e Cabana Solidária com a presença do Pai Natal, entre muitas outras iniciativas.
A magia começa a ser criada já no próximo dia 22 de novembro com a ligação da iluminação natalícia que vai encher as ruas da cidade e das vilas do concelho (Joane, Ribeirão e Riba de Ave) de brilho e cor. Será também ligado o som ambiente, concedendo a atmosfera perfeita para a época.
Para o presidente da Câmara Municipal, Paulo Cunha, “Vila Nova de Famalicão assume-se como o lugar do Natal e tem muitas razões para o fazer”. “Com esta campanha vamos transformar Famalicão num lugar mágico com espaços para as crianças darem largas à sua imaginação e fantasia, mas também iniciativas que apelam ao espírito natalício de todos os famalicenses”, adiantou o autarca.
Quanto aos que vem de fora visitar a cidade, o autarca diz que “há um mundo de encantar para conhecer e participar. Estamos preparados para receber os turistas que nos queiram visitar e temos muito para oferecer”.
Desde esta quinta-feira e até ao final da próxima semana, os comerciantes do centro da cidade de Vila Nova de Famalicão vão ter a oportunidade de dar a sua opinião e a sua visão sobre a reorganização da cidade e sobre o papel do comércio de proximidade neste âmbito.
A participação dos comerciantes será registada através de inquéritos realizados porta a porta. A medida insere-se no plano de ação elaborado pela Câmara Municipal para a dinamização do comércio e dos serviços do centro urbano de Famalicão.
Refira-se que com a concretização das operações do Plano Estratégico de Desenvolvimento Urbano (PEDU) nomeadamente a reabilitação do Mercado Municipal e a revitalização das principais vias e espaços públicos na zona central abrangida pela Área de Reabilitação Urbana, torna-se cada vez mais necessária a participação do comércio de proximidade na construção de uma cidade mais moderna, funcional e atrativa.
Segundo avança, esta manhã, o jornal digital “O Minho”, dos 29 arguidos no âmbito do processo Éter, há dois de Vila Nova de Famalicão: Regocib, Construções e Imobiliário, Lda. e Augusto Rego, construtor civil. Estão acusados, respetivamente, de um crime de falsificação de documentos.
O despacho de acusação da 12.ª secção do Departamento de Investigação e Ação Penal (DIAP) do Porto relativo ao processo Ėter imputa 150 crimes a 29 arguidos (21 singulares e oito coletivos), sendo o mais visado o ex-presidente do Turismo do Porto e Norte de Portugal (TPNP), Melchior Moreira, o único arguido que foi preso preventivamente, com 38 crimes.
A matéria constante deste processo reporta-se a cinco linhas de investigação sobre o TPNP, estando em causa, por exemplo, os procedimentos de contratação de pessoal e de aquisição de bens, a utilização de meios da entidade para fins pessoais e o apoio prestado a clubes de futebol. Estão ainda em causa o recebimento indevido de ajudas de custo e o recebimento de ofertas provenientes de operadores económicos.
Em inquéritos que o DIAP do Porto decidiu autonomizar, está, entretanto, a decorrer a investigação de outras vertentes da Operação Éter, nomeadamente a instalação de Lojas Interativas da Turismo do Porto e Norte de Portugal, envolvendo autarcas do Norte e Centro.

Store and/or access information on a device (397 seeking consent)
Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers, randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported technologies etc.) can be stored or read on your device to recognise it each time it connects to an app or to a website, for one or several of the purposes presented here.
Examples:
Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
Use limited data to select advertising (278 seeking consent, 96 using legitimate interest)
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).
Examples:
A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
Create profiles for personalised advertising (294 seeking consent)
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Examples:
If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
Use profiles to select personalised advertising (300 seeking consent)
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Examples:
An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
Create profiles to personalise content (114 seeking consent)
Information about your activity on this service (for instance, forms you submit, non-advertising content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (such as your previous activity on this service or other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
Use profiles to select personalised content (107 seeking consent)
Content presented to you on this service can be based on your content personalisation profiles, which can reflect your activity on this or other services (for instance, the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects. This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
Measure advertising performance (300 seeking consent, 132 using legitimate interest)
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Examples:
You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
Measure content performance (138 seeking consent, 56 using legitimate interest)
Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.
Examples:
You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
Understand audiences through statistics or combinations of data from different sources (198 seeking consent, 67 using legitimate interest)
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Examples:
The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
Develop and improve services (200 seeking consent, 107 using legitimate interest)
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Examples:
A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
Use limited data to select content (62 seeking consent, 22 using legitimate interest)
Content presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type, or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times a video or an article is presented to you).
Examples:
A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
