Cardoso, Isabel; Freire, Luís; Ribeiro, Maria MargaridaIntroduction: In Radiology, with the increasing number of diagnostic procedures using Ionizing Radiation, it is imperative to monitor Personal Radiation Protection Equipment to ensure safe working environments for professionals. Objectives: To develop a Quality Control protocol for Personal Radiation Protection Equipment and to create a Good Practice Guide. To assess the attenuation percentage of the equipment....
The contribution of genetics to the understanding and management of cardiomyopa...
Cardoso, Isabel; Nunes, Sofia; Brás, Pedro; Viegas, José Miguel; Marques Antunes, Miguel; Ferreira, André; Almeida, Inês; Custódio, InêsGenetics has assumed a pivotal role in clarifying the pathophysiology of cardiomyopathies, facilitating molecular diagnosis, and enabling effective family screening. The advent of next-generation sequencing has revolutionized genetic testing by enabling cost-effective, high-throughput analysis. It is imperative for cardiovascular physicians to mainstream genetic testing into their clinical decision-making. Alth...
Arrhythmogenic Left Ventricular Cardiomyopathy: A Successful Case of Extracorpo...
Gama, Mafalda; Cardoso, Isabel; Palma Anselmo, Mónica; Aguiar Rosa, Sílvia; Gaspar da Costa, Pedro; Fortuna, PhilipA 24-year-old man suffered a witnessed cardiac arrest after a padel game. Basic life support was immediately provided. The pre-hospital emergency services team continued the resuscitation efforts, and the patient was accepted for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The return of spontaneous circulation was achieved in 45 minutes. The initial assessment revealed a ST-segment elevation in leads V4-V6 an...

Fernandes, Julia; Palaio, Anabela; Cardoso, Isabel; Grave, Rita; Rua, Sara Introdução: O cuidado à pessoa em situação critica, num ambiente altamente tecnológico, requer uma abordagem integradora e humanizada.1 Para desenvolver esta abordagem, os profissionais de saúde, também precisam que as suas dignidades e condições humanas sejam respeitadas. Contudo, as necessidades dos profissionais como pessoas são frequentemente esquecidas e o cuidado de si mesmos desconsiderado. Factos ...
Bridging cyanobacteria to neurodegenerative diseases: a new potential source of...
Castaneda, Andrea; Ferraz, Ricardo; Vieira, Mónica; Cardoso, Isabel; Vasconcelos, Vítor; Martins, RosárioNeurodegenerative diseases (NDs) represent a drawback in society given the ageing population. Dementias are the most prevalent NDs, with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) representing around 70% of all cases. The current pharmaceuticals for AD are symptomatic and with no effects on the progression of the disease. Thus, research on molecules with therapeutic relevance has become a major focus for the scientific community...
Lockdown measures for COVID-19 outbreak and variation in physical activity in p...
Silva Cunha, Pedro; Laranjo, Sérgio; Lourenço, André; Rodrigues, Lourenço; Cardoso, Isabel; Portugal, Guilherme; Valente, Bruno; Delgado, Ana SofiaAims: The present study analysed the patterns of physical activity pre-, during and post-lockdown measures for COVID-19 pandemic in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) under remote monitoring (RM), and assessed the physical activity patterns during these periods. Methods: The raw data from 95 patients with CHF (age 67,7 +/- 15,1 years, 71,5% male) correspo...
Effect of Biochar on Emission of Greenhouse Gases and Productivity of Cardoon C...
Barracosa, Paulo; Cardoso, Isabel; Marques, Francisco; Pinto, António; Oliveira, Jorge; Trindade, Henrique; Rodrigues, P.; Pereira, José L.S.Cardoon could be cropped for agro-environmental, industrial, and pharmaceutical purposes. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of biochar on emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4), and productivity of cardoon crop. A pot experiment was run outdoors from April to August 2018, with a cardoon plant per pot. The following four treatments, with four replicates each, were...
Extraction and Analysis of Compounds with Antibacterial Potential from the Red ...
Cardoso, Isabel; Cotas, João; Rodrigues, Ana; Ferreira, Daniel; Osório, Nádia; Pereira, LeonelNowadays, the development of new drugs only relies on a small number of molecules and 50% of all existent drugs are extracted or synthetically obtained. This work intends to evaluate the antibacterial potential of the ethanolic and polysaccharide extracts obtained from Grateloupia turuturu and to characterize the composition of the alga’s polysaccharides by FTIR-ATR. We used sequential extraction to obtain the ...
Effects of transthyretin stabilization by wine polyphenols in the modulation of...
Rodrigues, Daniela; Santos, Luís M.; Alemi, Mobina; Ribeiro, Carlos; Saraiva, Maria João; Mateus, Nuno; Cardoso, IsabelAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia, accounting for 60% to 80% of all cases worldwide. Senile plaques, one of AD hallmarks, are mainly constituted of A peptide. Transthyretin (TTR) has been described to exert a neuroprotective effect in AD by interacting with A. This activity is dependent on its stability, thus compounds that stabilize TTR tetrameric fold increase TTR/A binding. Most of...
Seminário Interdisciplinar de Investigação em Paisagem e Património - 3º ciclo
Cardoso, Isabel; Carapinha, Aurora; Rodrigues, Paulo; Matos, Rute Sousa; Santos, IldaCom Paisagem e Património III (2013-2014) abordamos agora o Som, elemento frequentemente relegado para segundo plano, o que está em manifesta contradição com o impacto que tem na nossa apreciação da paisagem, mas também do património. Capacidade auditiva e sentido de equilíbrio são as duas funções do ouvido, que fazem dele um órgão do espaço tridimensional. A propagação relativamente lenta do som (330m p/ segun...
