Guia de Boas Práticas para a manutenção de Faixas de Gestão de Combustível
Folgôa Batista, Maria Teresa; Moreira, André; Afonso, José; Lopes, Inês; Querido, Cassandra; Freire, António; Marques, Pedro; Rocha, IsildaA preservação da Floresta, ao nível dos ecossistemas e dos recursos existentes, passa pela construção de uma estratégia de defesa contra os incêndios, aliada à proteção das espécies, respeitando a biodiversidade da região onde se executa a gestão de combustível, não obstante o cumprimento da legislação que define os critérios para a execução das faixas de gestão de combustível.Neste sentido, este manuel pretend...
Epigenetic Analysis of Long-term Epilepsy-Associated Tumors by Methylation-Spec...
Jesus-Ribeiro, Joana; Ribeiro, Ilda Patrícia; Pires, Luis Miguel; Rebelo, Olinda; Pereira, Ricardo; Bento, Conceição; Sales, Francisco; Santana, IsabelIntroduction: Ganglioglioma and dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor represent the most common neoplasms in the group of long-term epilepsy-associated tumors. Mapping of epigenetic alterations, particularly DNA methylation, has recently been shown to offer promising perspectives in brain tumors, identifying key genes that may serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers. We aim to perform a genetic and epigenetic...
Resective Epilepsy Surgery and Respective Histopathological Diagnoses: A Retros...
Jesus-Ribeiro, Joana; Rebelo, Olinda; Bento, Conceição; Pereira, Cristina Maria Gonçalves; Robalo, Conceição; Rito, Manuel; Pereira, RicardoIntroduction: Over recent decades, brain resection for drug-resistant epilepsy has proven to be a valuable treatment option. The histopathological classification was of paramount value for patient management. The aims of this study were to characterize our resective epilepsy surgical series including the histopathological diagnoses and to understand the differences in clinical practice between two different per...

DEPDC5 variant in focal cortical dysplasia: a case report and review of the lit...
Ribeiro, Joana de Jesus; Pereira, Cristina Duarte; Robalo, Conceição; Pereira, Daniela J.; Duro, Diana; Ramos, Fabiana; Freire, António; Melo, Joana B.Germline and 2-hit brain somatic variants in DEPDC5 gene, a negative regulator of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, are increasingly recognized in patients with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). Next-generation targeted sequencing identified a heterozygous germline variant in DEPDC5 gene (c.3241A>C, p.Thr1081Pro), classified as of unknown significance, in a patient with clinical features compatibl...
Genomic and Epigenetic Advances in Focal Cortical Dysplasia Types I and II: A S...
Jesus-Ribeiro, Joana; Pires, Luís Miguel; Melo, João Daniel; Ribeiro, Ilda Patrícia; Rebelo, Olinda; Sales, Francisco; Freire, AntónioIntroduction: Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) are a group of malformations of cortical development that constitute a common cause of drug-resistant epilepsy, often subjected to neurosurgery, with a suboptimal long-term outcome. The past few years have witnessed a dramatic leap in our understanding of the molecular basis of FCD. This study aimed to provide an updated review on the genomic and epigenetic advance...
Agronomic practices change the patterns of soil glomalin in olive rainfed orchards
Correia, Carlos M.; Macedo, Fabrício; Freire, António; Moutinho-Pereira, José; Arrobas, Margarida; Gonçalves, Alexandre; Rodrigues, M.A.Glomalin, a thermostable hydrophobic glycoprotein produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, plays an important role in the stability of soil aggregates and in the sequestration of C, N and heavy metals, being their concentrations dependent from agronomic practices such as tillage and application of pesticides and fertilizers. Despite the recognized importance of glomalin in soil quality, studies on olive groves...
Foliar application of jasmonic acid ameliorate photosynthesis and yield of the ...
Gonçalves, Alexandre; Martins, Sandra; Silva, Ermelinda; Brito, Cátia; Pinto, Luís; Rocha, Luís; Pavia, Ivo; Macedo, Fabrício; Freire, AntónioDespite the physiological defence strategies that olive trees dispose against summer stress, the projected climate change for the Mediterranean Basin characterized by severe summer conditions, with low rainfall, excessive heat load, and high irradiance levels, right affect this crop. New cropping practices allowing better water use efficiency and protection against summer stress as with the introduction of foli...
Reliability and Validity of 39-Item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire and Parki...
Jesus-Ribeiro, Joana; Vieira, Elsa; Ferreira, Pedro; Januário, Cristina; Freire, AntónioIntroduction: Parkinson’s disease has a significant impact in quality of life, which can be assessed with 39-item Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire and Parkinson’s Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of these scales in Portuguese patients. Material and Methods: Reliability was assessed through internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and reproducibilit...
