Sustainable Aviation Fuels and their impact in commercial airport operation
Magalhães, Leandro; Santos, Luis; Ferreira, Ana Filipa; Silva, André Resende Rodrigues daWith global air traffic projected to grow annually by approximately 3.8%, the aviation sector faces increasing pressure to implement effective strategies for mitigating its environmental impact, particularly with respect to greenhouse gas emissions. Sustainable Aviation Fuels represent a critical pathway for decarbonizing aviation by offering a lower-emission alternative to conventional jet fuels. This study ev...
Article Title: Impact of Dysphagia on Quality of Life in Machado-Joseph Disease
Mota, Joana Paz; Rodrigues, Inês Tello; Rodrigues, Inês Tello; Ferreira, Ana Filipa; Melo, Ana Rosa Vieira; Pires, Paula; Lopes, PedroDysphagia is a frequent symptom of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3)/Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), being associated with alterations in nutritional intake and hydration, as well as an increased risk of aspiration pneumonia. This study aims to evaluate the impact of self-perceived dysphagia and its relationship with quality of life in SCA3/MJD mutation carriers. 41 SCA3/MJD mutation carriers from the Azorean ...
Breastfeeding and malocclusions: Characterization of a pediatric dentistry popu...
Marques, Sofia Cameron; Baptista, Manuel; Magalhães, Inês; Morais, Juliana; Ferreira, Ana Filipa; Pestana, Rebeca; Jerónimo, Maria Luís; Pinto, CarlaBreastfeeding plays an important role in the development of the craniofacial complex (1,2). However, the role of breastfeeding duration, non-nutritive sucking habits, and the timing of solid food introduction on the development of malocclusions is still in debate (25). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate these associations in a birth cohort. In the ongoing OralBioBorn birth cohort, occlusion of three-yea...
Association between maternal cardiometabolic risk factors and oral health of in...
Pestana, Rebeca Saad; Baptista, Manuel; Magalhães, Inês; Morais, Juliana; Ferreira, Ana Filipa; Marques, Sofia Cameron; Jerónimo, Maria LuísMaternal health conditions during pregnancy influence infant health1-3. Cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs), such as obesity, hypertension, and gestational diabetes, increase maternal and neonatal complications due to chronic inflammation, which disrupts immune and endocrine adaptation4,5. While the effects of CRFs on infant development are well studied, their impact on oral health remains unclear. Therefore, t...
The Cardiometabolic Impact of Rebaudioside A Exposure during the Reproductive S...
Bracchi, Isabella; Morais, Juliana; Almeida Coelho, João; Ferreira, Ana Filipa; Alves, Inês; Mendes, Cláudia; Correia, Beatriz; Gonçalves, AlexandreThe consumption of non-sugar sweeteners (NSS) has increased during pregnancy. The European Food Safety Agency suggested that steviol glycosides, such as Rebaudioside A (RebA), the major sweetener component of stevia, are safe for humans up to a dose of 4 mg/kg body weight/day. However, the World Health Organization recommended in 2023 the restraint of using NSS, including stevia, at any life stage, highlighting...

Bracchi, Isabella; Morais, Juliana; Coelho, João Almeida; Ferreira, Ana Filipa; Alves, Inês; Mendes, Cláudia; Correia, Beatriz; Gonçalves, AlexandreSince foods rich in refined sugars promote obesity, the use of non-caloric sweeteners has gained popularity, and their consumption by pregnant women has increased. Stevia (a non-caloric sweetener) consumption was considered safe for humans by the European Food Safety Authority in a dose of up to 4 mg/kg body weight/day. However, the World Health Organization recommended in 2023 the restraint of these sweeteners...

Potential pathogenic and opportunistic oral bacteria in early life: the role of...
Fernandes, Mariana; Azevedo, Maria João; Campos, Carla; Ferreira, Ana Filipa; Azevedo, Álvaro; Falcão-Pires, Inês; Zaura, Egija; Ramalho, CarlaIn early life, maternal factors are of the utmost relevance for oral microbiome acquisition and maturation. Therefore, our study explored the impact of maternal factors, such as saliva and breastmilk colonization, cardiovascular risk factors (CRF), type of delivery, oral health, and caregiving habits on the prevalence of potential pathogenic and opportunistic oral bacteria in early life. A total of 26 healthy m...
Vertical transmission and antifungal susceptibility profile of yeast isolates f...
Azevedo, Maria João; Araújo, Ricardo; Campos, Joana; Campos, Carla; Ferreira, Ana Filipa; Falcão-Pires, Inês; Ramalho, Carla; Zaura, EgijaYeast acquisition begins at birth; however, the contribution of the mother on yeast trans mission to the offspring and associated resistance is yet to be clarified. The aim of this study was to explore the vertical transmission of yeasts and their antifungal susceptibility profile in early life. Oral, fecal, and breastmilk samples were collected from 73 mother–child pairs four to twelve weeks after delivery and...
