Progesterone and brassinosteroids synergistically enhance progesterone removal ...
Pinto, A; da Silva, DC; Cardoso, A; Fernandes, F; Soares, C; Patricia Valentao; Fernanda Fidalgo; Jorge TeixeiraProgesterone (PROG) has been detected at various concentrations in the environment and has adverse effects on humans and wildlife. This work evaluated the impact of PROG in Solanum nigrum L. plants, its removal capacity, and how 2,4-epibrassinolide (24-EBL) affects this process. Three treatments were used: (1) control, (2) irrigation with 0.8 mu M PROG, and (3) treatment with 0.8 mu M PROG after a pre-treatment...
Pain site persistence and changes from childhood to adolescence: a prospective ...
Fernandes, F; Talih, M; Pires, C; Navasardyan, N; Santos, MJ; Lucas, R"Background: Pain is a complex experience that interferes with the well-being of youth who experience it. We aimed to assess whether recurrent pain sites in childhood can predict later recurrent pain sites prospectively. Methods: Pain was assessed using the Luebeck Pain Screening Questionnaire at ages 7, 10, and 13 from the Generation XXI cohort. We used multinomial regression to assess the association of recur...
Pain history and experimental pressure pain responses in adolescents: Results f...
Brandão, M; Talih, M; Holden, S; Fernandes, F; Graven-Nielsen, T; Lucas, RBackground: Sensitized pain mechanisms are often reported in musculoskeletal pain conditions, but population-based paediatric studies are lacking. We assessed whether adolescents with musculoskeletal pain history had evidence of increased responsiveness to experimental pressure stimuli.Methods: Data were from 1496 adolescents of the Generation XXI birth cohort. Pain history was collected using the Luebeck Pain ...
Effects of roughing, finishing, and aggressive machining conditions on the mill...
Rajput, S S; Upadhyay, C; Gangopadhyay, S; Fernandes, FThe objective of the present study is to develop a better understanding of machining performance of TiAlN coated tools during face milling of AISI 1045 medium carbon steel. The influences of three different cutting conditions (roughing, finishing, and aggressive conditions) were investigated on cutting forces, chip temperature, tool wear, surface roughness, and chip characteristics. The highest cutting forces w...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Target Fusion Biopsy vs. Transrectal Ultrasound-Guid...
Guimarães, T; Gil, M; Medeiros, M; Andrade, V; Guerra, J; Pinheiro, H; Fernandes, F; Pina, J; Lopes Dias, J; Campos Pinheiro, LObjectives: The aim of this study was to com-pare the risk of International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) score upgrading between magnetic resonance imaging targeted fusion biopsy (MRI-TB) and tran-srectal ultrasound-guided biopsy (TRUS-B) in the final radical prostatectomy (RP) specimen pathological report. Materials and methods: This retrospective single center study included 51 patients with prostate...
Disclosing Azole Resistance Mechanisms in Resistant Candida Glabrata Strains En...
Salazar, SB; Pinheiro, MJ; Sotti-Novais, D; Soares, AR; Lopes, MM; Ferreira, T; Rodrigues, V; Fernandes, F; Mira, NPThe pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata is intrinsically resilient to azoles and rapidly acquires resistance to these antifungals, in vitro and in vivo. In most cases azole-resistant C. glabrata clinical strains encode hyperactive CgPdr1 variants, however, resistant strains encoding wild-type CgPDR1 alleles have also been isolated, although remaining to be disclosed the underlying resistance mechanism. In this st...
The Percentage of [−2]Pro–Prostate-Specific Antigen and the Prostate Health Ind...
Garrido, MM; Marta, JC; Bernardino, RM; Guerra, J; Fernandes, F; Pereira, MH; Ribeiro, R; Holdenrieder, S; Pinheiro, LC; Guimarães, JTContext.—: There is a need to avoid the overdiagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) and to find more specific biomarkers. Objective.—: To evaluate the clinical utility of [-2]pro-prostate-specific antigen ([-2]proPSA) derivatives in detecting clinically significant PCa (csPCa) and to compare it with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and with the percentage of free PSA (%fPSA). Design.—: Two hundred thirty-seven men (P...

Provision of Preexposure Prophylaxis at the Portuguese National Health Service ...
Meireles, P; Fernandes, F; Rocha, M; Plankey, M; Barros, HWe aimed to study the uptake of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) before and after its implementation in the Portuguese National Health Service (PNHS) among men who have sex with men (MSM). We studied 6164 participants in the Lisbon Cohort of MSM who participated between March 2014 and July 2019. 198 participants (3.2%) reported having recently used PrEP. Approximately one-third started PrEP after its implementati...
Oral Infection Caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia: A Rare Presentation of a...
Prates, M; Fernandes, F; Proença, F; Mussá, Y; Tavares, A; Pereira, AStenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogen with an increasing incidence of nosocomial and community-acquired infection cases, mainly in immunocompromised individuals. Oral cavity infections are rare. To learn more about this infection, a case of oral cavity infection caused by S. maltophilia in an immunosuppressed patient under ventilatory therapy has been presented. ...
