Oncological Applications of Photodynamic Therapy in Dogs and Cats.
Capela e Silva, F.; Alexandre, N.Photodynamic therapy (PDT) in small animals’ oncology has been under research focus, pointing to new treatment possibilities. Moreover, several animal studies constitute experimental human disease models due to the similarity of tumor biology between animals and man. PDT uses photosensitizing compounds without toxicity per se. When subjected to a specific wavelength, the photosensitizers are activated, triggeri...
Assessing Predictive Factors of COVID-19 Outcomes: A Retrospective Cohort Study...
Capela e Silva, F.Background and Objectives: The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to search individual, sociodemographic and environmental predictors of COVID-19 outcomes.Materials and Methods: A convenience sample of 1036 COVID-19 confirmed patients (3–99 years, mean 59 years; 482 females) who sought treatment at the emergency units of the public health system of Diadema (Brazil; March–October 2020) was included. Prim...
COVID-19, Uma Saúde e Saúde Global
Capela e Silva, F.; Simões, Margarida; Ramos, Victor; Vilhena, Maria M.A doença recentemente denominada COVID-19, originada e caracterizada na China em dezembro de 2019, é causada pelo Coronavírus da Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave 2 (SARS-CoV-2), muito provavelmente de origem zoonótica. Em 30 de janeiro de 2020, a Organização Mundial da Saúde declarou o surto de SARS-CoV 2 como uma Emergência de Saúde Pública de Preocupação Internacional e, passado pouco tempo, em 11 de março d...
Editorial: Natural animal models of diseases.
Capela e Silva, F.; Mesquita, João; Pires, Maria Anjos; Muñoz-Prieto, AlbertoIn this Research Topic of Frontiers in Veterinary Science/Comparative and Clinical Medicine, four manuscripts were published: Two Review and two Original Research Articles, whose main contributions and results are briefly presented below.
Editorial: Models for Oral Biology Research.
Capela e Silva, F.; Lamy, E.Oral biology is a scientific field that involves several disciplines, such as anatomy, cellular and molecular biology, genetics, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, pharmacology, physiology and pathology. A deeper understanding of the various tissues, fluids, organs and functions of the oral cavity and craniofacial structures requires the development of new strategies, approaches and study models to prevent...
Changes in salivary protein composition of lambs supplemented with aerial parts...
Lamy, Elsa; Rodrigues, Lenia; Gurreiro, O; Soldado, D; Amado, F; Monica, Lima; Capela e Silva, F.; Lopes, Orlando; Santos-Silva, J; Jerónimo, ECistus ladanifer L. is a shrub present in Mediterranean areas without major use, but which can be incorporated into ruminant diets, improving the digestive efficiency of dietary protein and product quality. The high levels of plant secondary metabolites, including condensed tannins, may be responsible for the beneficial properties of the plant, but can also reduce palatability. In this study, C. ladanifer was i...

Biomarkers of Thermal Adaptation: New Tools in Sustainable Livestock Production...
Geraldo, AM; Lamy, E; Pinheiro, CC; Lopes, O; Capela e Silva, F.; Pereira, AClimate changes have been identified as one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats to the planet and humanity. The increase of extreme weather events, such as prolonged droughts, extreme ambient temperatures or periods with high and intensive precipitation has effects on animal production systems. Crops, and consequently forage productivity and availability are compromised, the risk of new d...
Analysis of pancreas histological images for glucose intolerance identification...
Rato, L.M.; Capela e Silva, F.; Costa, A.R.; Antunes, C.M.The observation in microscopy of histological sections allows us to evaluate structural differences, in pancreatic cells, between rats with normal glucose tolerance and with glucose intolerance (pre-diabetic) situation. Nevertheless, this pre-diabetic condition implies subtle changes in islets of Langerhans structure. This and the normal variability among sampled cells makes difficult the task of identifying gl...
Assessing foraging strategies of herbivores in Mediterranean oak woodlands: a r...
Ferraz de Oliveira, M.I.; Lamy, E.; Bugalho, M.N.; Vaz, M; Pinheiro, C; Abreu, M.C.; Capela e Silva, F.; Sales-Baptista, E.Montados are agro-silvo-pastoral ecosystems, typical of the Southwest Iberian Peninsula, of high socio-economic and conservation importance,where grazing is a dominant activity. Montados are characterized by na open tree canopy of Quercus sp. and a diverse undercover of shrubs and grasslands that constitute the plant food resources for grazing animals. Plant food resources of Montados are highly variable, both ...
