Immunohistochemical marking in the diagnosis of combined hepatocellular and cho...
Quintas, Catarina; Alves, Marta; Silva, Vera; Mendonça, Paula; Borges-Ferro, ACombined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) is a rare and biologically aggressive primary hepatic neoplasm, accounting for approximately 2% to 5% of liver tumors. This malignant neoplasm is defined by the coexistence of hepatocellular and cholangiocytic differentiation within the same tumor, integrating morphological and molecular features of both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma ...
Adaptative biological response of aerobic granular sludge to events of single o...
Alves, Marta; Henriques, Isabel; Castro, Paula M. L.; Amorim, Catarina L.Wastewater comprises various stressors and their individual and combined immediate effects on aerobic granular sludge (AGS) are still underexplored. In this study, the AGS was exposed for 24 hours to wastewater with varying salt concentrations (up to 30 g NaCl L⁻¹) alongside pharmaceuticals (diclofenac, DCF or carbamazepine, CBZ). Differences in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) production and compositio...

Intestinal parasitic infections and adverse outcomes among pregnant women and t...
Vasconcelos, Alexandra; Sousa, Swasilanne; Bandeira, Nelson; Alves, Marta; Papoila, Ana Luísa; Pereira, Filomena; Machado, Maria do CéuIntroduction: The link between intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) and adverse birth outcomes (ABOs) during pregnancy remains unclear, with significant knowledge gaps. This study aimed to assess the impact of IPIs on maternal-neonatal-dyads in São Tomé & Príncipe. Materials and Methods: A hospital-based study was conducted among women admitted for delivery, who underwent copro-parastiological screening. ...

Queirós, Alexandra; Bernardo, Ana; Rijo, Cláudia; Carocha, Ana; Ferreira, Leonor; Martins, Ana Teresa; Cohen, Álvaro; Alves, Marta; Papoila, Ana LuísaObjective: This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal factors and first-trimester biophysical and biochemical markers with small for gestational age (SGA) neonates in twin pregnancies (TwPs). Methods: Single-center retrospective cohort study of TwPs followed from January 2010 to December 2022 at a tertiary perinatal center, Portugal. Maternal and pregnancy characteristics, mean arterial pr...
Growth curve models for weight among infants
Alves, Marta; Silvério Serra, Sofia; Costa, Teresa; Brás-Geraldes, Carlos; Papoila, A.L.; Heleno, BrunoPublisher Copyright: © 2024 JBI.; Objective: This scoping review aims to provide a systematic overview of the literature on statistical models to estimate weight growth curves among infants, examining key features such as study design, sample size, and statistical approaches.

Intervenções de enfermagem que previnem o delirium na pessoa queimada
Alves, MartaIntrodução: O deliruim é uma das sindromes mentais mais prevalentes nas pessoas internadas com patologia aguda, no entanto, é ainda subvalorizado. A pessoa com queimaduras, internada em unidades de queimados, está sujeita a fatores de risco modificáveis que potenciam o desenvolvimento de delirium, sensíveis à intervenção do enfermeiro. Objetivo: Mapear as intervenções de enfermagem que previnem o delirium em pe...
Structural and functional shifts in the microbial community of a heavy metal-co...
Silva, Isabel; Alves, Marta; Malheiro, Catarina; Silva, Ana Rita R.; Loureiro, Susana; Henriques, Isabel; González-Alcaraz, M. NazaretThe interplay between metal contamination and climate change may exacerbate the negative impact on the soil microbiome and, consequently, on soil health and ecosystem services. We assessed the response of the microbial community of a heavy metal-contaminated soil when exposed to short-term (48 h) variations in air temperature, soil humidity or ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the absence and presence of Enchytraeu...
Microbial consortia selection for the development of an innovative nature-based...
Moreira, Irina S.; Novo, Beatriz; Monteiro, Pedro; Pinto, Glória; Castro, Paula M. L.; Alves, Artur; Tacão, Marta; Alves, MartaAir pollutants, like benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX), pose significant health and environmental risks being associated with 6.7 million premature deaths annually. Despite plants natural air purification capabilities in green infrastructures, high pollution levels in cities can hinder urban greening when tolerance levels are exceeded. Therefore, this study aimed to develop plant-beneficial microbial consortia...
