Validation of a Portuguese Version of the Four-Item Migraine Interictal Burden ...
Ferrão Malheiro, Sofia; Dourado Sotero, Filipa; Pereira, Manuel Bragança; Nunes Vicente, Beatriz; Franco, Roberto Luís MendesBackground: Migraine is the most common neurological disorder and the second leading cause of disability. While the impact of migraine on daily life is often assessed by the frequency and intensity of attacks, the impairment between episodes is frequently overlooked. The four-item Migraine Interictal Burden Scale (MIBS-4) is a tool that can provide information and help in the evaluation of interictal disability...
Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Vaccination on Migraine Symptoms during the ...
Silva, Lénia; Lopes, Adriana; Pontes, Ana; Gonçalves, Ana; Chiteculo, Arlinda; Soares, Beatriz; Teixeira, Inês; Gonçalves, Maria; Alves, MariaIntroduction: Studies have shown the worsening of migraine associated with the COVID-19 infection and the pandemic more broadly. COVID-19 vaccination has also been associated with symptomatic headache, with high frequency among migraineurs. We aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 diagnosis and vaccine administration on migraine, during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methods: An online questionnaire was sent to migr...
Citizen science and expert judgement: A cost-efficient combination to monitor a...
Parretti, Paola; Monteiro, João Gama; Gizzi, Francesca; Martinez-Escauriaza, Roi; Alves, Filipe; Chebaane, Sahar; Almeida, Silvia; Pais, Miguel PessanhaMapping the distribution and evaluating the impacts of marine non-indigenous species (NIS) are two fundamental tasks for management purposes, yet they are often time consuming and expensive. This case study focuses on the NIS gilthead seabream Sparus aurata escaped from offshore farms in Madeira Island in order to test an innovative, cost-efficient combined approach to risk assessment and georeferenced dispersa...

Population density, reproduction cycle and nutritional value of Sphaerechinus g...
Lourenço, Sílvia; José, Ricardo; Neves, Pedro; Góis, André; Cordeiro, Nereida; Andrade, Carlos; Ribeiro, CláudiaSea urchins play an important role in island coastal ecosystems as keystone species and as potential resources for harvesting and aquaculture. In Southern Europe, the most valuable and harvested species is the European purple sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, but there is a growing interest to explore other edible species like the blunt sea urchin Sphaerechinus granularis. The echinoderms biodiversity of Madeir...

Effect of different levels of synthetic astaxanthin on growth, skin color and l...
Nogueira, Natacha; Canada, Paula; Caboz, José; Andrade, Carlos; Cordeiro, NereidaA study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of supplementing commercial feeds with Car ophyll® Pink, a gelatin-encapsuled astaxanthin, on growth parameters, lipid composition, pigment concentration and skin color of commercial size red porgy. Three isonitrogenous diets were formulated containing different levels of astaxantin: Ctrl diet (no pigment added), A50 diet (with 50 mg/kg of astaxanthin) and A80 diet...
Evaluation of fatty acids profile as a useful tool towards valorization of by-p...
Ferreira, Rui; Lourenço, Sílvia; Lopes, André; Andrade, Carlos; Câmara, José S.; Castilho, Paula; Perestrelo, RosaWorldwide, the food industry generates a large number of by-products from a wide variety of sources. These by-products represent an interesting and economical source of added value components with potential functionalities and/or bioactivities, which might be explored for industrial purposes, encouraging and promoting the circular economy concept. In this context, the current work aimed to evaluate the fatty ac...

Gueroun, Sonia K.M.; Torres, Tatiana M.; Santos, Antonina dos; Vasco Rodrigues, Nuno; Canning-Clode, João; Andrade, CarlosJellyfish proliferations, which are conspicuous and natural events, cause blooms that may lead to severe consequences for anthropogenic activities and ecosystem structure and functioning. Although research during the last decade has focused on factors influencing the different jellyfish life stages, few species currently have their full life cycle known. In this context, we describe for the first time the devel...
