Symmetrical Neck Swelling After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Pereira Dias, Liliana; Coelho, Ana Cristina; Mota, Cristina; Sousa, Maria JoãoCervical edema after iodinated contrast media administration can raise the suspicion of a hypersensitivity reaction, but other diagnoses must be considered. The authors present a rare case of a man who, during the diagnostic investigation of a patient with thoracic pain developed severe submandibular swelling and local pain after a percutaneous coronary intervention with iodinated contrast media. The cervical c...
Spectral analysis, biocompounds, and physiological assessment of Cork Oak leave...
Guerra, Rui; Pires, Rosa; Brazio, António; Cavaco, Ana Margarida; Schütz, Gabriela; Coelho, Ana CristinaThe cork oak tree (<i>Quercus suber</i> L.) symbolizes <i>the Montado</i> landscape in Portugal and is a central element in the country’s social and economic history. In recent decades, the loss of thousands of cork oaks has been reported, revealing the ongoing decline of these agroforestry ecosystems. This emblematic tree of the Mediterranean Basin is host to the soil-born root pathogen <i>Phytophthora cinnamo...
Protein markers for the identification of cork oak plants infected with phytoph...
Coelho, Ana Cristina; Schütz, GabrielaCork oak decline in Mediterranean forests is a complex phenomenon, observed with remarkable frequency in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula, causing the weakening and death of these woody plants. The defoliation of the canopy, the presence of dry peripheral branches, and exudations on the trunk are visible symptoms used for the prognosis of decline, complemented by the presence of Phytophthora cinnamomi...
Disclosing proteins in the leaves of cork oak plants associated with the immune...
Coelho, Ana Cristina; Pires, Rosa; Schütz, Gabriela; Santa, Cátia; Manadas, Bruno; Pinto, PatríciaThe pathological interaction between oak trees and Phytophthora cinnamomi has implications in the cork oak decline observed over the last decades in the Iberian Peninsula. During host colonization, the phytopathogen secretes effector molecules like elicitins to increase disease effectiveness. The objective of this study was to unravel the proteome changes associated with the cork oak immune response triggered b...
Using gradient Forest to predict climate response and adaptation in Cork oak
Vanhove, Mathieu; Pina Martins, Francisco; Coelho, Ana Cristina; Branquinho, Cristina; Costa, Augusta; Batista, Dora; Príncipe, Adriana; Sousa, PauloClimate change is impacting locally adapted species such as the keystone tree species cork oak (Quercus suber L.). Quantifying the importance of environmental variables in explaining the species distribution can help build resilient populations in restoration projects and design forest management strategies. Using landscape genomics, we investigated the population structure and ecological adaptation of this tre...

Voice symptoms and handicap in adults with cochlear implants
Santos, Alessandra Regina da Silva; Batista, Natasha Gonçalves Leoni; Silva, Dione Bottentuit da; Sampaio, André Luiz LopesObjetivo: investigar a presença de desvantagem vocal e sintomas vocais em usuários adultos de implante coclear e verificar sua correlação com a autoavaliação da qualidade vocal. Métodos: participaram 27 adultos com implante coclear de ambos os sexos com idade entre 19 e 57 anos. Foram aplicados os questionários de autoavaliação Índice de Desvantagem Vocal e Escala de Sintomas Vocais. Além disso, os participante...
Equilíbrios e desequilíbrios no Montado Filme em animação sobre o declínio do s...
Graça, Marina Estela; Correia, Gisela; Coelho, Ana CristinaEm 2016, na Escola Superior de Educação e Comunicação da Universidade do Algarve, iniciou-se um projeto para a realização de um filme de animação (https://youtu.be/XDNKewRGNJs) com o objetivo de comunicar o declínio do sobreiro em Portugal.. O declínio do sobreiro caracteriza-se por uma deterioração progressiva dos sistemas florestais e agro-florestais (Montado) de sobreiro e azinheira, predominante...
Estratégia pedagógica no Ensino Superior baseada no conceito de aprendizagem ativa
Conceição, Ana C.; Coelho, Ana Cristina; Dionísio Gonçalves, CarlaO sucesso no Ensino Superior, em qualquer área de conhecimento, passa pelo comprometimento do aluno no processo de aprendizagem e pela visão do professor como agente facilitador e conhecedor do processo de ensino e de aprendizagem. Neste trabalho descreve-se uma estratégia pedagógica usada no Ensino Superior, na Unidade Curricular (UC) de Cálculo I, norteada pelo conceito de aprendizagem ativa centrada no aluno...
