Research prior to the pandemic suggests that women may be more at risk of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) due to unmet expectations of their childbirth plans. Therefore, this study aimed to examine if the mismatch between women’s...
Diagnosis, treatment, and work impact of iron deficiency anemia in a Portuguese...
Norton, P; Araújo, N; Pinho, P; Costa Gomes, J; Silva, C; Gama, C; Barbosa, M; Ferreira, P; Cunha, S; Moreira, S; Martins, S; Faria, S; Sousa, SIntroduction: Little is known about iron deficiency anemia (IDA)'s treatment in Portugal. We aim to estimate the proportion of anemia, IDA, and iron deficiency without anemia; characterize the diagnostic procedures and prescription patterns; assess anemia's impact over work absenteeism, in a Local Health Unit. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study that evaluated complete blood counts, iron-containing pres...
A robust sparse linear approach for contaminated data
Shahriari, S; Faria, S; Manuela Gonçalves, AA challenging problem in a linear regression model is to select a parsimonious model which is robust to the presence of contamination in the data. In this paper, we present a sparse linear approach which detects outliers by using a highly robust regression method. The model with optimal predictive ability as measured by the median absolute deviation of the prediction errors on JackKnife subsets is used to detec...

Interaction and lipid-induced conformation of two cecropin-melittin hybrid pept...
Abrunhosa, F; Faria, S; Gomes, P; Tomaz, I; Pessoa, JC; Andreu, D; Bastos, MThe interaction of two hybrid peptides of cecropin A and melittin [CA(1-8)M(1-18) and CA(1-7)M(2-9)] with liposomes was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), circular dichroism (CD), and quasi-elastic light scattering (QELS). The study was carried out with large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) of three different lipid compositions: 1,2-dimyristoil-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPG), 1,2-dimyristoylsn-...
