Sleep Quality among Medical Students of a Portuguese University
Ferreira, Rita; Brás, João; Fialho, Joana; Peixoto, CristinaIntroduction: Sleep is a complex physiological process shared by most living beings. Sleep disorders have been increasing exponentially. University students, particularly medical students, are especially vulnerable to this problem. However, the existing literature on the subject is scarce, especially in Portugal. The aim of this study is to assess the quality of sleep among medical students attending the Univer...

To understand the situation, we did a study in the locality of Chicala, in Kuito, and evaluated the co-endemicity of human filariasis, to obtain data via calibrated thick droplet microscopy and subcutaneous biopsy of samples collected in Chicala in Kuito, Bié and samples collected and pres...

The continuous increase in global consumption has resulted in an exponential rise in the use of dyes, which have become one of the major water pollutants, causing significant environmental impacts. In order to address these concerns, a number of wa...
Lignin-furanic rigid foams: Enhanced methylene blue removal capacity, recyclabi...
Duarte, Hugo; Brás, João; Saoudi Hassani, El Mokhtar; Aliaño González, María José; Magalhães, Solange; Alves, Luís; Valente, Artur J. M.Worldwide, populations face issues related to water and energy consumption. Water scarcity has intensified globally, particularly in arid and semiarid regions. Projections indicate that by 2030, global water demand will rise by 50%, leading to critical shortages, further intensified by the impacts of climate change. Moreover, wastewater treatment needs further development, given the presence of persistent organ...
Establishment and characterization of human pluripotent stem cells-derived brai...
Brás, João; Henriques, Daniel; Moreira, Ricardo; Santana, Magda M.; Pedrosa, Ana; Adão, Diana; Braz, Sandra; Álvaro, Ana Rita; de Almeida, Luís PereiraThe establishment of robust human brain organoids to model cerebellar diseases is essential to study new therapeutic strategies for cerebellum-associated disorders. Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is a cerebellar hereditary neurodegenerative disease, without therapeutic options able to prevent the disease progression. In the present work, control and MJD induced-pluripotent stem cells were used to establish human ...
