Hypertension – Surveillance And Screening For Target Organ Damage
Bento, Tatiana; Landeiro, Raquel; Marques, Ana Carolina; Paz, Raquel; Miranda, MarianaIntroduction: Arterial hypertension is defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) in the office ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg. It has a global prevalence in adults of 30-45% and is considered the leading preventable cause of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Hypertension can cause structural or functional changes in major organs, designated hypertension-mediated organ damage. Standard examin...
Prevalence Of Comorbidities And Complications In Patients With Hypertension: A ...
Bento, Tatiana; Marques, Ana Carolina; Paz, Raquel; Landeiro, RaquelIntroduction: Arterial hypertension is characterized by blood pressure (BP) ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg, with a prevalence of 30-45% and considered one of the most common risk factors in Portugal. It is the leading preventable cause of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, and a risk factor for stroke, heart failure (HF), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), atri...
Efeito da cobertura direta em melão com manta térmica
Amaral, Artur José Guerra; Marques, Ana Carolina; Bernardo, João; Jorge, Maria João; Sequeira, SamuelA oferta de melão junto dos consumidores em Portugal decorre ao longo de todo o ano. No entanto, a produção nacional decorre, em geral, de inícios de junho a inícios de setembro. A utilização da cobertura direta com manta térmica nesta cultura, poderá permitir um desenvolvimento vegetativo mais rápido, no início do ciclo cultural; a antecipação do período de colheita; o aumento da produtividade. No final de mar...
Non-enzymatic lab-on-paper devices for biosensing applications
Marques, Ana Carolina; Pinheiro, Tomás; Martins, Gabriela Vieira; Cardoso, Rita; Martins, Rodrigo; Sales, M. G. F.; Fortunato, ElviraLab-on-paper devices constitute a promising tool for biosensing systems due to their easiness of fabrication and use, inherent low-cost, easy tailoring in terms of device architecture and/or function, biocompatibility and easy disposal. When combined with non-enzymatic approaches the increase on device's shelf life, stability and analytical features improvement can be achieved. In this chapter, a brief descript...
Laser-induced graphene-based platforms for dual biorecognition of molecules
Marques, Ana Carolina; Cardoso, Rita; Martins, Rodrigo; Sales, M. G. F.; Fortunato, ElviraExpanding the single molecule detection, enabled by laser-induced graphene (LIG) technology, for portable and on-site analysis, a dual molecule system with a two-working electrode architecture was developed, for ascorbic acid (AA) and amoxicillin (AMOX) detection, which are currently used in aquaculture and persist as water contaminants. The biorecognition element of each target compound was a suitable molecula...
