Humor strategies used in palliative care to promote mentally healthy working co...
Cunha, Vânia; Dias, Mária; Mourato, Ana; Calado, Ricardo; Cordeiro, Raul; Serra, RicardoIntroduction: Evidence indicates that humor is important in promoting a healthy working environment in palliative care. Although, the evidence on the use of humor by teams is scarce. Objective: To characterize humor strategies used by health professionals to promote mentally healthy work environments in palliative care. Resources and methods: The Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for conducting Scoping Review...
Use of isotopic and elemental fingerprints for seahorse species discrimination ...
Cabral, Ana Elisa; Calado, Ricardo; Palma, Jorge; Ricardo, Fernando; Silva, Eduardo Ferreira da; Patinha, Carla; Planas, MiquelSeahorses (Hippocampus spp.; Family Syngnathidae) are mainly targeted by Traditional Chinese Medicine, curio and ornamental trade, as dried or live specimens. Traceability tools may help fill the gaps on supply chains, securing information on geographic origin and identification of traded specimens. Fin-clipping, a non-lethal and well-established method in seahorse research, offers a potential approach to trace...
Current and expected trends for the marine chitin/chitosan and collagen value c...
Vieira, Helena; Lestre, Gonçalo Moura; Solstad, Runar Gjerp; Cabral, Ana Elisa; Botelho, Anabela; Helbig, Carlos; Coppola, DanielaChitin/chitosan and collagen are two of the most important bioactive compounds, with applications in the pharmaceutical, veterinary, nutraceutical, cosmetic, biomaterials, and other industries. When extracted from non-edible parts of fish and shellfish, by-catches, and invasive species, their use contributes to a more sustainable and circular economy. The present article reviews the scientific knowledge and pub...
Fatty acid profiles of cultured Hippocampus hippocampus trunk muscles and poten...
Cabral, Ana Elisa; Rey, Felisa; Domingues, Rosário; Cabral, Miguel; Planas, Miquel; Palma, Jorge; Calado, RicardoSyngnathids (seahorses, pipefishes and seadragons) are an attractive resource for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Despite few scientific studies supporting seahorse nutritional benefits, they are believed to possess medicinal properties that enhance human health. The European short-snout seahorse Hippocampus hippocampus is classified as Data Deficient by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Nevertheless...
Current trends in the traceability of geographic origin and detection of specie...
Santos, Andreia; Ricardo, Fernando; Domingues, M. Rosário M.; Patinha, Carla; Calado, RicardoMarine bivalves are increasingly consumed worldwide, with their complex supply chain being particularly prone to fraud. This scenario drives economic losses and is a threat to public health, with multiple recent food worries driving consumers to demand more transparency and information on the seafood they buy. To increase consumers confidence in bivalves and enforce current legislation, robust tools are needed ...
Thermal tolerance limits and physiological traits as indicators of Hediste dive...
Fernandes, Joana Filipa; Calado, Ricardo; Jerónimo, Daniel; Madeira, DianaGlobal projections predict significant increases in ocean temperature and changes in ocean chemistry, including salinity variations by 2100. This has led to a substantial interest in the study of thermal ecophysiology, as temperature is a major factor shaping marine ectotherm communities. However, responses to temperature may be influenced by other factors such as salinity, highlighting the relevance of multipl...
Characterization and behaviour of silica engineered nanocontainers in low and h...
Ferreira, Violeta; Figueiredo, Joana; Martins, Roberto; Sushkova, Alesia; Maia, Frederico; Calado, Ricardo; Tedim, João; Loureiro, SusanaMesoporous silica engineered nanomaterials are of interest to the industry due to their drug-carrier ability. Advances in coating technology include using mesoporous silica nanocontainers (SiNC) loaded with organic molecules as additives in protective coatings. The SiNC loaded with the biocide 4,5-dichloro-2-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (DCOIT), i.e., SiNC-DCOIT, is proposed as an additive for antifouling marine ...

Controlling Light to Optimize Growth and Added Value of the Green Macroalga Cod...
Marques, Rúben; Moreira, Anthony; Cruz, Sónia; Calado, Ricardo; Cartaxana, PauloCodium tomentosum is a recently domesticated green macroalga, being currently cultured as an extractive species in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA). Optimization of light requirements in outdoor systems must be achieved to increase the market value of cultivated algal biomass. The present study addresses the seasonal effects of light intensity and wavelength on productivity, pigment composition and e...
Inter-individual variability of early life stages of a model marine invertebrat...
Leal, Miguel; Rey, Felisa; Duarte Ferreira, Guilherme; Domingues, Rosário; Calado, RicardoInter-individual variability plays a key role in species resilience. This, however, is difficult to assess in marine invertebrates with complex life cycles due to the inherent difficulty of sampling individuals in oceanic environments throughout their ontogeny. This study monitored the effect of contrasting oceanographic conditions, namely downwelling and upwelling, on the inter-variability of embryos and megal...
