Remote health monitoring system for the elderly based on mobile computing and IoT
Cardoso, R.; Postolache, O.; Coutinho, C.Due to the increasing technological innovation over the last decades, the average life expectancy of a human being has been increasing exponentially. Although this is an excellent step forward for humanity, it has led older population to being more prone to illness, making them more vulnerable to accidents such as falls. In this article a study is made on the existing literature in non-intrusive remote health m...

Imbalance of steroid hormones in hamsters infected with Schistosoma mansoni
Oliveira, K.C.; Cardoso, R.; Santos, A.C.D.; Fernandes, R.; Botelho, M.C.Objective: Schistosomiasis is a debilitating disease that affects 200 million people worldwide. Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma mansoni are the major causative agents of this disease. Cancer-association and infertility-association in Schistosoma haematobium infection have already been described and it is known that the parasite produces a catechol-estrogen molecule that induces a hormonal imbalance in t...

Cardoso, R.; Lacerda, P.; Costa, P.; Machado, A.; Carvalho, A.; Bordalo, A.; Fernandes, R.; Soares, R.; Richter, J.; Alves, H.; Botelho, M.Schistosoma haematobium is a human blood fluke causing a chronic infection called urogenital schistosomiasis. Squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder (SCC) constitutes chronic sequelae of this infection, and S. haematobium infection is accounted as a risk factor for this type of cancer. This infection is considered a neglected tropical disease and is endemic in numerous countries in Africa and the Middle...
Could Estradiol be used as a biomarker of infection in Schistosoma haematobium ...
Botelho, M.C; Cardoso, R.; Bordalo, A.; Alves, H.; Richter, J.Urogenital schistosomiasis is a chronic infection caused by the human blood fluke Schistosoma haematobium. Schistosomiasis haematobia is a known risk factor for cancer leading to squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder (SCC). This is a neglected tropical disease endemic in many countries of Africa and the Middle East. Schistosome eggs produce catechol-estrogens. These estrogenic molecules are metabolized...
Steroid hormones in murine schistosomiasis mansoni
Oliveira, K.C.; Cardoso, R.; Dos Santos, A.C.; Alves, H.; Richter, J.; Botelho, M.C.Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease, endemic in 76 countries, that afflicts more than 240 million people. The impact of schistosomiasis on infertility may be underestimated according to recent literature. Extracts of Schistosoma (S.) haematobium include estrogen-like metabolites termed catechol-estrogens that down regulate estrogen receptors alpha and beta in estrogen responsive cells. In addition, ...
