From pollutant to product: the bioactive potential of fungal biomass obtained t...
Sousa, Ana; Gonçalves, Virgínia; Costa, João; Andrade, JoséBackground: Microplastics are widespread environmental pollutants, and recent attention has turned to the potential of bio-based approaches for their removal and mitigation in various environmental settings. Among these biotechnological methods, fungi have emerged as key players due to their resilience, ease of use, and minimal health risks. While the effectiveness of fungal bioremediation in removing microplas...
A wearable IoT-based system for gait cycle duration and symmetry assessment in ...
Alves, Bruna; Fantoni, Alessandro; Matos, José Pedro; Costa, JoãoThis study presents the development of a wearable sensor designed to assess gait asymmetry. The device uses the TF mini-S LiDAR sensor to detect mid-stance and calculates the gait cycle duration to assess symmetry. The Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect microcontroller was chosen for its compact size, real-time data processing capabilities, and seamless integration with the Arduino Cloud, facilitating remote monitorin...
Medication Reconciliation in Primary Care: Practices, Knowledge and Attitudes i...
Ascenção, Raquel; Almeida, Mariana; Ribeiro, Cristina; Broeiro, Paula; Costa, JoãoIntroduction: Despite the importance of medication reconciliation for the continuity of care, there is currently no information on the practices, knowledge, and attitudes of Portuguese family doctors on this subject. This study aimed to characterize the formal medication reconciliation procedures in the Lisbon and Tagus Valley Health Region, as well as the perception of family doctors in this region about what ...
Airline stock market reaction to CrowdStrike IT outage: an event study analysis
Costa, João; Cró, Susana; Moutinho, Nuno; Martins, António MiguelThis study investigates the short-term market effect of CrowdStrike IT outage in the airline industry. Using an event study methodology, we evidence that airline stocks respond significantly negatively to the technology disruption within two days before and after the event day. IT disruptions, by creating friction in daily operations, such as broken schedules, delayed or cancelled flights, negative externalitie...
Development of a decellularized extracelular matrix from porcine aorta for hear...
Reis, Mariana S.; Rosadas, Marta; Ho, Chou I.; Costa, João; Vervenne, Thibault; Oliveira, Ana L.; Ribeiro, Viviana P.; Mignon, ArnCardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of adult mortality worldwide, according to the WHO [1]. An important surgical approach for treating diseased aortic valves is the Ross procedure, in which the affected aortic valve is replaced with an autograft from the patient’s own pulmonary valve. The main concern about this procedure is linked to wall dilatation, which can lead to valve leakage and reoperation. ...

Borges, Margarida; Almeida, Edgar; Alves, Rui; Ascenção, Raquel; Vieira, Miguel Bigotte; Bulhosa, Carolina; Costa, João; Duarte, Gonçalo S.Introdução: A doença renal crónica é a doença crónica com maior crescimento de prevalência, e uma das maiores causas de mortalidade global de acordo com o Global Burden of Disease Collaboration. O presente estudo teve como objetivo projetar a evolução desta doença em pessoas com diabetes, de modo a quantificar os custos e consequências no contexto português. Tal foi conseguido através do desenvolvimento e param...
Intercropping with gramineous plants in nutrient solutions as a tool to optimiz...
Saavedra, Teresa; Pestana, Maribela; Costa, João; Gonçalves, Paula; Fangueiro, David; Silva, José Paulo da; Correia, Pedro JoséThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of intercropping Brassica oleracea. with three perennial grasses (Poa pratensis L., Lolium perenne L., and Festuca rubra L.) under varying levels of iron (Fe) availability (Fe0, Fe1 and Fe5) in nutrient solutions. The research focused on biomass accumulation, photosynthetic efficiency, root development, nutrient uptake, and oxidative stress response. In the absence of Fe,...
