Evaluation of EnMAP Hyperspectral Data for the Identification of Placers in the...
Araújo, L; Cardoso Fernandes, J; Azzalini, A; Carvalho, M; Lima, A; González, J; Teodoro, ACCritical Raw Materials are crucial to achieve the European Unions (EU) goals of a climate-neutral economy by 2050. The high supply risk led the EU to prioritise domestic mineral exploration. This study, part of the S34I - SECURE AND SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY OF RAW MATERIALS project, utilised remote-sensing-based methods to identify and map heavy-mineral (HM) placer deposits in the Ria de Vigo, located in Galicia, Spa...
Feasibility and Acceptability of an Asthma App to Monitor Medication Adherence:...
Jácome, C; Almeida, R; Pereira, AM; Amaral, R; Mendes, S; Alves-Correia, M; Vidal, C; López Freire, S; Méndez Brea, P; Araújo, L; Couto, MBackground: Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma, and objective assessment of inhaler adherence is needed. The InspirerMundi app aims to monitor adherence while providing a positive experience through gamification and social support. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the InspirerMundi app to monitor medication adherence in adolescents and adults wit...
Monitoring Adherence to Asthma Inhalers Using the InspirerMundi App: Analysis o...
Jácome, C; Almeida, R; Pereira, AM; Amaral, R; Vieira-Marques, P; Mendes, S; Alves-Correia, M; Ferreira, JA; Lopes, I; Gomes, J; Araújo, L; Couto, MBackground: Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma and objective assessment of inhaler adherence is needed. InspirerMundi app aims to monitor inhaler adherence while turning it into a positive experience through gamification and social support. Objective: We assessed the medium-term feasibility of the InspirerMundi app to monitor inhaler adherence in real-world patients with persistent asthma ...

Profiling Persistent Asthma Phenotypes in Adolescents: A Longitudinal Diagnosti...
Amaral, R; Jácome, C; Almeida, R; Pereira, AM; Alves-Correia, M; Mendes, S; Rodrigues, JC; Carvalho, J; Araújo, L; Costa, A; Silva, A; Teixeira, MFWe aimed to identify persistent asthma phenotypes among adolescents and to evaluate longitudinally asthma-related outcomes across phenotypes. Adolescents (13-17 years) from the prospective, observational, and multicenter INSPIRERS studies, conducted in Portugal and Spain, were included (n = 162). Latent class analysis was applied to demographic, environmental, and clinical variables, collected at a baseline med...
Skin tests and challenge-based drug allergy diagnosis: a retrospective study of...
Pereira, AM; Couto, M; Pereira, M; Araújo, LObjectives. To describe clinical manifestations and performed diagnostic workup, focusing drug challenge tests (DCT), in patients with drug allergy. Methods. Retrospective study including all patients with skin tests (STs) or DCT-based drug allergy diagnosis, between 01/2014 - 06/2018 in a Portuguese allergy unit. Data were collected from electronic and paper-based clinical records. Results. We had 75 drug alle...

Role of AIP56 disulphide bond and its reduction by cytosolic redox systems for ...
Pereira, C; Rodrigues, IS; Pereira, LMG; Lisboa, J; Pinto, RD; Araújo, L; Oliveira, P; Benz, R; dos Santos, NMS; do Vale, AApoptosis-inducing protein of 56 kDa (AIP56) is a major virulence factor of Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida, a gram-negative pathogen that infects warm water fish species worldwide and causes serious economic losses in aquacultures. AIP56 is a single-chain AB toxin composed by two domains connected by an unstructured linker peptide flanked by two cysteine residues that form a disulphide bond. The A dom...

Sousa-Pinto, B; Araújo, L; Freitas, A; Correia, O; Delgado, LBACKGROUND: Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) and erythema multiforme (EM) are immunologically-mediated dermatological disorders commonly triggered by drug exposure and/or other external agents. We aimed to characterise SJS/TEN- and EM-drug-related hospitalisations in a nationwide administrative database, focusing on demographic and clinical characteristics, and in the most frequentl...
Phenotyping allergic respiratory diseases: An unsupervised classification using...
Amaral, Rita; Pereira, AM; Araújo, L; Sá-Sousa, A; Jacinto, Tiago; Almeida, R; Gonçalves, I; Couto, M; Delgado, L; Bosquet, J; Fonseca, JAThe aims of this study were to identify distinct classes (phenotypes) of adults with allergic respiratory diseases, using an unsupervised method, and to examine their associations with inflammatory biomarkers, and allergic sensitization.
