Material and Methods: Patients with clinical/audiological suspicion of otosclerosis (surgically confirmed) and healthy controls matched for age and sex were recruited. Vestibular function was evaluated using the Video Head Impulse Test and the Diz...
Effects and Mechanisms of Action of Preussin, a Marine Fungal Metabolite, again...
Seabra, Rosária; Malhão, Fernanda; Correia, Alexandra; Costa, Carla; Kijjoa, Anake; Rocha, EduardoTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents an aggressive subtype of breast cancer (BC) with a typically poorer prognosis than other subtypes of BC and limited therapeutic options. Therefore, new drugs would be particularly welcome to help treat TNBC. Preussin, isolated from the marine sponge-associated fungus, Aspergillus candidus, has shown the potential to reduce cell viability and proliferation as well ...

Water-Soluble Saccharina latissima Polysaccharides and Relation of Their Struct...
Moreira, Ana S. P.; Gaspar, Diana; Ferreira, Sónia S.; Correia, Alexandra; Vilanova, Manuel João Rua; Perrineau, Marie-Mathilde; Kerrison, Philip D.Brown macroalgae are an important source of polysaccharides, mainly fucose-containing sulphated polysaccharides (FCSPs), associated with several biological activities. However, the structural diversity and structure-function relationships for their bioactivities are still undisclosed. Thus, the aim of this work was to characterize the chemical structure of water-soluble Saccharina latissima polysaccharides and ...

Oliveira, Fernando Eduardo Freitas; Lima, Tânia; Correia, Alexandra; Silva, Ana Margarida; Soares, Cristina; Morais, Simone; Weißelberg, SamiraStaphylococcus epidermidis is one of the most important nosocomial pathogens and a major cause of central line-associated bloodstream infections. Once in the bloodstream, this bacterium must surpass severe iron restriction in order to survive and establish infection. Staphylococcus epidermidis is a major nosocomial pathogen with a remarkable ability to persist on indwelling medical devices through biofilm forma...
Preschool hearing screening program: first evidence study
Neves, Vanessa; Ribeiro, Diana; Oliveira, Natália; Correia, Alexandra; Carvalho, CarlosAccording to the World Health Organization in 2020, 34 million children around the world have deafness or hearing loss, in which 60% of cases can be prevented. This study intends to identify hearing changes in preschoolers who attend the cluster of schools in the Centro Hospitalar Entre Douro e Vouga, CHEDV’s region and to emphasize the value of preschool hearing evaluation in order to prevent longterm effects ...
