Admission of Children from Portuguese-Speaking African Countries to a Portugues...
Berdianu, Nina; da Costa Neves, Raquel; Alexndre, Madalena; Sousa, Swasilanne; Araújo Carvalho, Ana; Almendra, Margarida; Ferreira, Sara; Amaral, DianaIntroduction: Medical assistance provided in Portugal to patients from Portuguese-Speaking African Countries (PALOP) is regulated by political evacuation protocols, although many patients come by their own means (OM). The aim of this study was to characterize PALOP patients admitted to a Portuguese early childhood medical unit (ECMU), comparing those evacuated under official protocols with those who arrived by ...
Sustainable marketing vs. greenwashing: What distinguishes a truly sustainable ...
Ferreira, SaraConsumers are becoming more and more aware of the goods they buy, becoming more attentive to the values of brands and their practices. This paradigm has generated growing pressure on brands, which are being forced to reformulate their approaches. In this context, two phenomena stand out - sustainable marketing and greenwashing. Sustainable marketing is associated with good practices, a real and genuine effort o...
A Multiplex Biomarker panel: A powerful tool for LSDs Diagnosis
Neiva, Raquel; da Silva Gaspar, Paulo Jorge Miranda; Sousa e Silva, Lisbeth Elena; Gonçalves, Isabel; Ferreira, Sara; Diogo, Luisa; Vilarinho, LauraIntrodução / Descrição do Caso: Lysosomal Storage Disorders (DLSs) are a set of rare, chronic and multisystemic pathologies with a variable mode of presentation and severity. Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), historically known as Niemann–Pick disease (NPD) types A, A/B, and B, is a rare, progressive, potentially fatal lysosomal storage disease caused by pathogenic variants in SMPD1 gene. The disease man...
Heterotrophic cultivation of Chlorella vulgaris yellow mutant on sidestreams: M...
Trovão, Mafalda; Barros, Ana; Machado, Adriana; Reis, Ana; Pedroso, Humberto; Espírito Santo, Gonçalo; Correia, Nádia; Costa, Monya; Ferreira, SaraMicroalgal protein is a promising feedstock to complement and/or replace other protein sources. Besides requiring less land and water usage, microalgae production is a more sustainable process, especially if industrial sidestreams are used as nutrient sources. Additionally, the heterotrophic cultivation of microalgae, such as Chlorella vulgaris, enables the achievement of much higher biomass productivity and lo...
O conflito do Saara Ocidental e a agência política dos jovens saarauís
Ferreira, SaraO conflito do Saara Ocidental teve, desde o seu começo em 1975, inúmeros desenvolvimentos. Um deles foi o deslocamento forçado de milhares de Saarauís para a Argélia, aquando da ocupação marroquina, onde se estabeleceram campos de refugiados, em que residem, até hoje, cerca de 173 600 pessoas (Kapur, 2019). 50 anos mais tarde, a luta pela autodeterminação do Saara Ocidental está longe de ser concretizada, conti...
Nirsevimab Effectiveness Against RSV-Related Hospitalisations in Children Under...
Gaio, Vânia; Henriques, Camila; Lança, Miguel; Marques, Rita; Marques, Raquel; Rodrigues, Marta; Almeida, Sofia; Sousa, Beatriz; Freitas, MargaridaWe assessed Nirsevimab effectiveness (NE) against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-related hospitalisation in eligible children (< 2 years) using a test-negative case-control design within the VigiRSV network (weeks 43/2024 to 16/2025). Among 341 participants (median age: 2 months; 91.2% without known chronic condition), 137 (40.2%) tested RSV-positive. Adjusted NE against RSV-related hospitalisation was 78.5%...
Improving the heterotrophic media of three chlorella vulgaris mutants toward op...
Trovão dos Santos, Mafalda; Cunha, Miguel; Santo, Gonçalo Espírito; Pedroso, Humberto; Reis, Ana; Barros, Ana; Correia, Nádia; Schüler, LisaThe high production costs and unappealing sensory properties still limit the widespread commercialization of microalgae feedstocks. Therefore, this work focused on fine-tuning the heterotrophic medium composition to cultivate novel green, yellow, and white Chlorella vulgaris mutant strains. Screening assays were carried out to select the most significant factors, and different nutrient concentrations were optim...
Find Project: Results of 8 Years
da Silva Gaspar, Paulo Jorge Miranda; Neiva, Raquel; Sousa e Silva, Lisbeth Elena; Guimarães, Fábio; Diogo, Luisa; Ferreia, Ana Cristina; Miranda, AnaIntrodução e Objectivos: Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of Lysosomal Storage Disorders with multisystem involvement, presenting different degrees of severity and evolution. At early disease stages and late onset forms, diagnosis can be postponed for years or even missed. The FIND PROJECT was designed to claim awareness to the red flags of MPSs at pediatric age and to provide an useful tool for physici...
Exploring the potential of cell-free supernatants in the control of foodborne p...
Ferreira, Sara; Gomes, Emílio; Araújo, Daniela Eira; Azevedo, Nuno F.; Almeida, Carina Manuela Fernandes; Castro, Joana Isabel Reis[Excerpt] Foodborne pathogens are a constant public health concern, frequently caus ing outbreaks that can lead to severe consequences. Traditional methods for controlling these microorganisms, such as antibiotics and disinfectants, are becoming less effective due to the rise in microbial resistance. Excessive use of these substances can contribute to the development of resistant strains, making it harder to ma...
Os veículos de animação turística (tuk -tuk): regulamentação e impactos na cida...
Ferreira, SaraO turismo consolidou-se como motor económico em Lisboa, trazendo novas dinâmicas urbanas e formas de mobilidade, entre as quais se destacam os tuk-tuk. Embora estes veículos tenham contribuído para diversificar a oferta turística e gerar emprego, a sua proliferação nas zonas históricas da cidade acarretou problemas significativos, como congestionamento do tráfego, ocupação do espaço público, ruído excessivo, de...
