Doença Articular: Diagnóstico por Imagem
Mendes Pinto, António; Ramos, Sofia; Cardoso, Madalena; Marques, João Paulo; Crespo, João; Monteiro, SusanaNos dias de hoje o Médico Veterinário tem ao seu dispor várias técnicas de diagnóstico imagiológico: radiografia, ecografia, ressonância magnética, tomografia axial computorizada e cintigrafia nuclear. A realização destes exames deve fornecer informação o mais detalhada possível no que respeita à localização exata, extensão e severidade das lesões. Se não existirem limitações económicas, a escolha de um determi...
Doença Articular em Equinos: Metodologias de Diagnóstico
Alexandre, Nuno; Branco, Sandra; Bettencourt, Elisa; Ramos, Sofia; Mendes, António; Cardoso, Madalena; Marques, João Paulo; Crespo, JoãoA doença articular é uma das causas mais frequentes de claudicação em equinos e, consequentemente, de diminuição da performance e retirada precoce da carreira desportiva. A terminologia “doença articular” é um termo muito abrangente, incluindo afeções articulares de causas traumáticas, degenerativas, inflamatórias e infecciosas. A avaliação de cada caso clínico implica não só um exame clínico minucioso, mas tam...
Recovery of valuable aromas from sardine cooking wastewaters by pervaporation w...
Pereira, M. João; Pintado, Manuela; Brazinha, Carla; Crespo, JoãoDue to the lack of studies addressing the influence of real food matrices on integrated organophilic pervaporation/fractionated condensation processes, the present work analyses the impact of the real matrix of sardine cooking wastewaters on the fractionation of aromas. In a previous study, a thermodynamic/material balance model was developed to describe the integrated pervaporation—a fractionated condensation ...
Clean technologies for production of valuable fractions from sardine cooking wa...
Pereira, Maria João; Grosjean, Oceane; Pintado, Manuela; Brazinha, Carla; Crespo, JoãoThe increase in environmental consciousness and stricter regulations has motivated industries to seek sustainable technologies that allow valorising wastewaters, contributing to the profitability of overall processes. Canning industry effluents, namely sardine cooking wastewater, have a high organic matter load, containing proteins and lipids. Their untreated discharge has a negative environmental impact and an...
Osteochondrosis (Osteochondritis Dissecans) in Lusitano Horses: Prevalence and ...
Ramos, Sofia; Pinto, António; Crespo, João; Marques, João Paulo; Bettencourt, Elisa; Telo Gama, Luís; Monteiro, SusanaOsteochondrosis (osteochondritis dissecans), OC(D), is an important joint disorder that has been stud- ied through the years in different breeds but, to our knowledge, there are no reports of its prevalence in Lusitano horses. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of OC(D) in Lusitanos, define the characteristics of the disorder in this breed and compare with Spanish Purebred horses. This is a retr...
Prevalence and Characteristics of Osteochondrosis in Lusitano Purebred Horses
Coelho Ramos, Ana Sofia; Pinto, António; Crespo, João; Marques, João Paulo; Bettencourt, Elisa; Gama, Luís Telo; Monteiro, SusanaObjectives: This is the first comprehensive study in Lusitanos that aims to study the radiographic prevalence and localisation of osteochondrosis in different joints. Methods: A radiographic protocol of the metacarpo/ metatarsophalangeal, tarsocrural and femoropatellar joints was done in 302 Lusitanos, and findings were clas- sified using a 0-4 scale: 0 - normal joint contours; 1 – minimal (minimal and smooth f...
Impact of Ionic Liquid Structure and Loading on Gas Sorption and Permeation for...
Ortiz-Albo, Paloma; Ferreira, Tiago J.; Martins, Carla F.; Delgado Alves, Vitor; Esteves, Isabel A.A.C.; Cunha-Silva, Luís; Kumakiri, IzumiCarbon dioxide (CO2) capture has become of great importance for industrial processes due to the adverse environmental effects of gas emissions. Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have been studied as an alternative to traditional technologies, especially due to their potential to overcome the practical limitations of conventional polymeric and inorganic membranes. In this work, the effect of using different ionic li...
Combined hydrothermal pre-treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of corn fibre: pro...
Valério, Rita; Serra, Ana Teresa; Baixinho, João; Cardeira, Martim; Fernández, Naiara; Bronze, MR; Duarte, Luís C.; Tavares, Maria L.; Crespo, JoãoABSTRACT: Ferulic acid may be used as a nutraceutical ingredient or as a substrate to produce bio-vanillin. There is an increasing market demand for ferulic acid obtained from natural sources such as low-cost agro-industrial by-products, due to its potential applications as nutraceutical ingredient and as a substrate to produce biovanillin. This work aims to study ferulic acid recovery from corn fibre (one of t...
From bench-scale to prototype: case study on a nickel hydroxide—activated carbo...
Adan-Mas, Alberto; Arévalo-Cid, Pablo; Moura E Silva, Teresa; Crespo, João; MONTEMOR, MARIAHybrid capacitors have been developed to bridge the gap between batteries and ultracapacitors. These devices combine a capacitive electrode and a battery-like material to achieve high energy-density high power-density devices with good cycling stability. In the quest of improved electrochemical responses, several hybrid devices have been proposed. However, they are usually limited to bench-scale prototypes that...
Selective recovery of phenolic compounds and carbohydrates from carob kibbles u...
Almanasrah, Mohammad; Roseiro, Luisa B.; Lukasik, Rafal M.; Carvalheiro, Florbela; Brazinha, Carla; Crespo, João; Kallioinen, Mari; Manttari, MikaCarob kibbles are an important renewable source of valuable compounds, such as fermentable sugars and phenolic compounds. However, the selective recovery of these compounds is not a trivial task. In this work, a strategy was developed to enable the recovery of both classes of compounds by means of awater-based extraction.One-step extraction recovered only approximately 20% of the phenolic compounds, correspondi...
