Karpyuk, António; Garcia, Bruna; Santos, Diana; Silva, Hugo; Lamas, Maria Céu; Ferreira, Stephanie; Mota, Sandra; Amorim, Maria ManuelaNo âmbito da formação dos estudantes da licenciatura Ciências Biomédicas Laboratoriais (E2S, P. Porto), enquanto futuros profissionais de saúde, é fundamental promover experiências pedagógicas que coligem o conhecimento técnico-científico à capacidade de comunicação. A atividade sobre Higiene das Mãos foi concebida e dinamizada por 4 estudantes do ensino superior (ES) para 30 crianças do Ensino Básico (3º e 4º ...
A meta-analysis on the role of sonication in the diagnosis of cardiac implantab...
Araújo, Daniela; Martins, João P.; Ferreira, Stephanie; Mota, Sandra; Ferreira, Pedro L. ; Pimenta, RuiOne of the biggest obstacles in diagnosing Implant-Associated Infections is the lack of infection criteria and standardized diagnostic methods. These infections present a wide range of symptoms, and their diagnosis can be hampered by the formation of microbial biofilms on the surface of implants. This study aimed to provide insight into the performance of sonication in the diagnosis of infections associated wit...

Adaptação fisiológica a situações de stress competitivo: avaliação do Cortisol ...
Meireles, Marcelo; Ferreira, Stephanie; Lamas, M.C.; Mota, Sandra; Amorim, ManuelaNa tentativa de compreender de que forma a atividade física sob stress influenciam o nosso organismo, vários estudos têm sido desenvolvidos com atletas de competição, por estarem submetidos a inúmeras fontes de stress. Os níveis de cortisol salivar têm sido utilizados para a análise do stress, nomeadamente, desportivo, na medida em que este pode afetar negativamente o seu desempenho.
Fasciola hepatica extract induces cell death of mammalian cells
Ferreira, Stephanie; Fernandes, Rúben; Botelho, Mónica C.Fascioliasis is a neglected tropical disease that affects poor people from poor and developing countries. In the world, it has been estimated that at least 2.6 million people are affected with this disease. The International agency for Research on Cancer, states that O. viverrini and C. sinensis, also liver flukes, are considered as definitive causes of cholangiocarcinoma. However, fascioliasis caused by F. hep...

Fernandes, Rúben; Ferreira, Stephanie; Botelho, Mónica C.The genus Theileria comprises apicomplexan parasites that are tick-transmitted and infect ruminants with important trade and industry impact in endemic countries (1). Infectious agents build up elaborate machinery to work together by means of host cell pathways and takeover their genetic and epigenetic mechanisms to modify phenotypic status of host cells.

Níveis de cortisol salivar e capacidade de navegação espacial
Ferreira, Cátia; Ferreira, Stephanie; Rocha, Nuno; Moreira, Teresa; Mota, Sandra; Sousa, MariaO cortisol é um glicocorticóide essencial nos mecanismos de resposta ao stress. Medeia os seus efeitos através da interação com recetores de glicocorticóides fortemente expressos no hipocampo, uma estrutura crítica para a aprendizagem e memória espacial. Estudos em humanos demonstraram que níveis elevados de cortisol, agudos ou crónicos, induzidos artificialmente, estão associados a uma função da memória e de n...
