Mapping accessible transport for persons with reduced mobility [report]
Gomes, Rui Jorge Reis; Carvalho, Daniela; Rodrigues, Alexandra; Rodrigues, Maria; Teoh, Tharsis; Tanis, Jasper; Matthews, Bryan; Costa, CarlosThe aim of this study is to facilitate and increase the distribution of personalised travel information for persons with disabilities and reduced mobility (PRM). To this end, the study team carried out two steps: an inventory of existing information tools and the information they provide on barrier-free mobility within the European Union, and a pilot experiment integrating accessibility information in an intera...
Testing Mini-FLOTAC for the Monitorization of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infect...
Lozano, João; Pombo, Cándido; Salmo, Rami; Cazapal-Monteiro, Cristiana; Arias, María Sol; Carvalho, Daniela; Lordelo, Madalena; Batista, AugustoBirds kept in zoological institutions are highly exposed to gastrointestinal (GI) parasitism caused by coccidia and nematodes. The current research aimed to characterize the avian GI parasitic fauna in several zoological collections in Portugal and Spain. During the full year of 2022, a total of 120 fecal samples were collected from four zoological institutions: Lisbon Zoo, Olivais Pedagogical Farm, and Avian B...

Effects of high dietary inclusion of Arthrospira platensis, either extruded or ...
Costa, Mónica M.; Spínola, Maria P.; Tavares, Beatriz; Pestana, José M.; Tavares, João C.; Martins, Cátia F.; Alfaia, Cristina M.; Carvalho, DanielaBackground This investigation assessed the effects of high dietary inclusion of Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) on broiler chicken growth performance, meat quality and nutritional attributes. For this, 120 male broiler chicks were housed in 40 battery brooders (three birds per brooder). Initially, for 14 days, a standard corn and soybean meal diet was administered. Subsequently, from days 14 to 35, chicks wer...
Integrated transcriptomics and proteomics analysis reveals muscle metabolism ef...
Ribeiro, David Miguel; Coelho, Diogo; Costa, Mónica; Carvalho, Daniela; Leclercq, Céline C.; Renaut, Jenny; Freire, João; Almeida, AndréSeaweeds, including the green Ulva lactuca, can potentially reduce competition between feed, food, and fuel. They can also contribute to the improved development of weaned piglets. However, their indigestible polysaccharides of the cell wall pose a challenge. This can be addressed through carbohydrase supplementation, such as the recombinant ulvan lyase. The objective of our study was to assess the muscle metab...
Pericardite Purulenta com Apresentação em Tamponamento Cardíaco
P. Ferro, Ana; Duarte, Leila; Carvalho, Daniela; Malangatana, GracietaA pericardite purulenta é uma infeção rara, localizada no espaço pericárdico. Pode apresentar-se como tamponamento cardíaco, pelo que deve ser diagnóstico diferencial em doentes em choque com dor torácica. A infeção por Streptococcus agalactiae tem sido uma causa cada vez mais comum de doença invasiva em adultos, especialmente entre idosos e diabéticos. Pode apresentar-se de várias formas, nomeadamente endocard...

Family Satisfaction in Intensive Care during the COVID-19 Pandemic Using the FS...
Camões, João; Tintim Lobato, Carolina; Carvalho, Daniela; Gomes, Ernestina; Araújo, RuiIntroduction: The COVID-19 pandemic caused an abrupt change in the pattern of communication involving patients, family members, and healthcare professionals. This study aimed to evaluate family member satisfaction with intensive care units (ICU) care and communication strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondary objectives included identification of areas requiring improvement, and assessment of the impac...
Influence of Feeding Weaned Piglets with Laminaria digitata on the Quality and ...
Ribeiro, David; Alfaia, Cristina; Pestana, José; Carvalho, Daniela; Costa, Mónica; Martins, Cátia; Lemos, José; Mourato, Miguel; Gueifão, SandraLaminaria digitata is a novel feedstuff that can be used in pig diets to replace conventional feedstuffs. However, its resilient cell wall can prevent the monogastric digestive system from accessing intracellular nutrients. Carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme) supplementation is a putative solution for this problem, degrading the cell wall during digestion. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect o...
Effect on Broiler Production Performance and Meat Quality of Feeding Ulva lactu...
Costa, Mónica M.; Pestana, José M.; Carvalho, Patrícia; Alfaia, Cristina M.; Martins, Cátia F.; Carvalho, Daniela; Mourato, Miguel; Gueifão, SandraSIMPLE SUMMARY: Macroalgae have been increasingly exploited worldwide for feed, food and biofuel applications, due to their nutritive and bioactive compounds. Green seaweeds belonging to the genus Ulva have high growth rates, which makes them suitable for being cultured in sustainable algae production, such as an integrated multi-trophic aquaculture system. This is expected to increase the use of Ulva sp. as an...
