The prenatal diagnosis of a right aortic arch consists of the visualization of a malposition of the aorta crossing the upper mediastinum to the right side of the trachea. The detection rate of this anatomic abnormality has improved with the introduction of the upper mediastinum views in routine fetal ultrasonographic evaluation. The following case report demonstrates a fetus affected by an isolated right aortic...

Beyond the green: assessing quarry restoration success through plant and beetle...

In assessing the effectiveness of ecological restoration actions, outcomes evaluation using a multi-taxa approach can greatly contribute to a clearer understanding of their success/failure. Since comprehensive biodiversity assessments are rarely possible, choosing taxa groups that are indicative of the ecosystem’s structural and functional recovery is of major importance. Our goal was to evaluate the success of...

The time course of emotional authenticity detection in nonverbal vocalizations

Previous research has documented perceptual and brain differences between spontaneous and volitional emotional vocalizations. However, the time course of emotional authenticity processing remains unclear. We used event-related potentials (ERPs) to address this question, and we focused on the processing of laughter and crying. We additionally tested whether the neural encoding of authenticity is influenced by at...

Associations between music training and cognitive abilities: The special case o...

We sought to clarify the commonly accepted link between music training and cognitive ability. Professional musicians, nonprofessionals with music training, and musically untrained individuals (N = 642) completed measures of musical ability, personality, and general cognitive ability. Professional musicians scored highest on objective and self-report measures of musical ability. On personality measures, professi...

Can musical ability be tested online?

We sought to determine whether an objective test of musical ability could be successfully administered online. A sample of 754 participants was tested with an online version of the Musical Ear Test (MET), which had Melody and Rhythm subtests. Both subtests had 52 trials, each of which required participants to determine whether standard and comparison auditory sequences were identical. The testing session also i...

Lavandula stoechas subsp. luisieri and L. pedunculata - phytochemical study, mi...

Extracts of different polarities were obtained from plants of Lavandula stoechas subsp. luisieri and Lavandula pedunculata collected in the Center and Southwest Portugal. In order to have an idea on the possible classes of compounds present in each extract, they were subjected to a preliminary phytochemical screening through thin layer chromatography on silica gel plates, developed in appropriated mixtures of e...

Sanguisorba hybrida: pharmacognostic studies and antimicrobial activity evaluat...

The genus Sanguisorba L. (Rosaceae) includes perennials that are distributed throughout the northern hemisphere. Some species of this genus are known by their medicinal interest. In the present work the pharmacognostic characterization and the potential antimicrobial activity of several extracts of Sanguisorba hybrida, endemic in Portugal, were evaluated. The leaves of the plant have been observed under microsc...
