Cranial surgical approaches in the 21st Century Identified Skeletal Collection

In Forensic Anthropology, identification is comparing information from a person whose fate and whereabouts are unknown with data from a person who is present but whose identity is unknown. The rarer and more distinctive the characteristics observed during the anthropological investigation, the greater the probability of reaching an identification. Taking this into account, cranial surgeries can be considered go...

Production and characterization of powder from drone brood of honeybees (Apis m...

Drone bee brood are a natural source of food with potential for human nutrition. This work aims to investigate the production and extraction of the drone bee brood (larvae and pupae), as well as the production of powder from this insect for food applications. To produce the drone brood (DB), in some hives of the colony appropriate empty frames were placed. Some measurements were done in the hive to monitor the ...

Toxoplasma Gondii In Shepherds and Cheesemakers – A Case-Control Study on Sheep...

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to determine if workers occupationally exposed (WOE) to sheep, specifically shepherds and cheesemakers in central Portugal, are more likely to be seropositive for anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG compared to the general population. Additionally, the study aimed to explore potential differences in seropositivity between shepherds and cheesemakers, while evaluating ag...

Guia de Boas Práticas. Redução do uso de antibióticos e antiparasitários. Promo...

As resistências aos antibióticos constituem, simultaneamente, uma preocupação de saúde pública e de saúde animal, devido à utilização dos mesmos princípios ativos em medicina humana e medicina veterinária e à possibilidade de transmissão de bactérias resistentes entre os animais e o homem, através da cadeia alimentar e do meio ambiente. A utilização de antibióticos conduz inevitavelmente à seleção de microrgani...

Pulmonary and Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Small Ruminant Autochtho...

The production of small ruminant autochthonous breeds in the Centre region of Portugal is practiced in a semi-extensive husbandry system, exposing animals to parasitic infections. The main objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of lungworm infection and identify risk factors. Fecal samples of 203 goats and 208 sheep from 30 herds were collected per rectum and subjected to the modified Baermann t...

All that glitters is not gold: X-ray fluorescence analysis of a fixed dental pr...

Access to better health care anticipates that more medical devices can be found alongside skeletal remains. Those employed in oral rehabilitation, with available brands or batch/series, can prove useful in the identification process. A previous study in the Colecção de Esqueletos Identificados Século XXI described macroscopically the dental prostheses. An unusual case of a dental device with chromatic alteratio...

Differences in the Diets of Female and Male Red Deer: The Meaning for Sexual Se...

Sexual segregation is a common phenomenon among animals, particularly dimorphic ones. Although widely addressed, the reasons and consequences of sexual segregation are still an important topic in need of better understanding. In this study, we mainly evaluate the diet composition and feeding behaviour of animals, which are related to the use of different habitats by the sexes, a special case of sexual segregati...
