The impact of methylene blue in colon cancer: a retrospective multicentric study
Carvalho, A; Limbert, M; Cabral, F; Fareleira, A; Duarte, A; Barroca, R; Goulart, A; Leão, PIntroduction: Discussions about the optimal lymph node (LN) count and its therapeutic consequences have persisted over time. The final LN count in colorectal tissues is affected by a variety of variables (patient, tumor, operation, pathologist, immune response). Methylene blue (MB) intra-arterial injection is a simple and inexpensive procedure that can be used to enhance lymph node count. Aim: Analyze whether t...
Neurodevelopment and Dietary Intake in Toddlers: A Cross-Sectional Study from t...
Rodrigues, MC; Rosário, R; Duarte, A; Silva, MJ; Augusto, C; Rodrigues, M.; Padrão, Patrícia; Moreira, Pedro<jats:p>Little is known about the potential associations between neurodevelopment, dietary diversity and food processing in the toddler period. This study aimed to estimate the association between these dietary quality dimensions and neurodevelopment in toddlers. Data for this cross-sectional analysis came from the Healthy Children 2021 project and included 212 toddlers (51.9% females, aged 1236 months) from 15...
A Phylogenomic Approach for the Analysis of Colistin Resistance-Associated Gene...
Elias, R; Spadar, A; Phelan, J; Melo-Cristino, J; Lito, L; Pinto, M; Gonçalves, L; Campino, S; Clark, TG; Duarte, A; Perdigão, JThe emergence of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains has triggered the use of old antibiotics such as colistin. This is driving the emergence of colistin resistance in multidrug-resistant strains that underlie life-threatening infections. This study analyses the mutational diversity of 22 genes associated with colistin resistance in 140 K. pneumoniae clinical isolates integrated in a high-reso...
Autologous Fat Transfer with SEFFI (Superficial Enhanced Fluid Fat Injection) T...
Riesco, B; Abascal, C; Duarte, A; Flores, RM; Rouaux, G; Sampayo, R; Bernardini, F; Devoto, MPURPOSE: To evaluate the aesthetic and functional outcomes of autologous fat transfer using the SEFFI (superficial enhanced fluid fat injection) technique for reconstruction of the periocular area. METHODS: Autologous fat injections prepared with the 0.5 mL and 0.8 mL SEFFI technique were used in four patients for periocular rehabilitation. RESULTS: Case 1 (C1): A patient with left-sided progressive facial hemi...

Meal-exercise challenge and physical activity reduction impact on immunity and ...
Silva, D; Moreira, R; Sokhatska, O; Beltrão, M; Montanha, T; Garcia-Larsen, V; Villegas, R; Severo, M; Pizarro, A; Pinto, M; Martins, C; Duarte, ABackground: The effect of a pre-exercise meal as countermeasure to exercise induced immunodepression is poorly known. Also, sedentary behavior is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk but studies on immune changes are lacking. Therefore, we aimed to assess: 1) the impact of a pre-exercise Mediterranean meal (MdM) compared with a fast-food type meal (FFM) on exercise-induced immunological changes and 2)...

Lysophosphatidic acid enhances survival of human CD34(+) cells in ischemic cond...
Kostic, I; Fidalgo-Carvalho, I; Aday, S; Vazão, H; Carvalheiro, T; Grãos, M; Duarte, A; Cardoso, C; Gonçalves, L; Carvalho, L; Paiva, A; Ferreira, LSeveral clinical trials are exploring therapeutic effect of human CD34(+) cells in ischemic diseases, including myocardial infarction. Unfortunately, most of the cells die few days after delivery. Herein we show that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-treated human umbilical cord blood-derived CD34(+) cells cultured under hypoxic and serum-deprived conditions present 2.2-fold and 1.3-fold higher survival relatively to...

Screening for antimicrobial activity of plants used in traditional medicine
Ramalhete, Cátia; Duarte, A; Mulhovo, S; Ferreira, MJUInfectious diseases, the leading cause of premature deaths in the world, are killing almost 50.000 people every day.1 Despite the existence of a wide variety of antibacterial agents, the treatment of infectious diseases is a frequent problem in modern-day-medicine due to a significant increase of bacterial resistance to several antibiotics.2 One way to prevent antibiotic resistance is using new compounds that a...
