CARDIOVASCULAR RISK ASSESSMENT IN A WORK CONTEXT
Homem, Filipa; Caetano, Ana; Gomes, Andreia; Costa, Mafalda; Marcelino, Susana; Gonçalves, Lino; Ramos, DomingosCardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Portugal and a major contributor to morbidity and disability. With an aging population and increased survival following initial cardiovascular events, the burden of disability-adjusted life years is expected to grow, posing a significant challenge for health systems (Ferreira & Macedo, 2017). In this context, the European Society of Cardiology recommen...
Child sexual abuse attributions: are they different depending on mothers versus...
Magalhães, Eunice; Gomes, Andreia; Graça, João; Antunes, Carla; Chim, Inês; Ferreira, Célia; Costa, PatrícioFamily reactions to child sexual abuse (CSA) are important, but there is a lack of research on the effect of maternal and paternal reactions on social attributions towards the victim and perpetrator. We conducted an experimental study (N = 549, aged 18-76) using vignettes in which the reactions of the mother or father (blame, denial, or support) were manipulated. Statistically significant differences were found...
Development of layout proposals for the future textile processing section of a ...
Monteiro, Ana; Gomes, Andreia; Fernandes, Bruna; Barroso, César; Alves, Diogo; Silva, A. M.This paper focuses on the project developed by a team of students from the University of the Minho in an industrial context. In this context, the definition of a layout is a key factor in the reduction of waste and, consequently, in the increase of productivity. The main objective of this article is to define alternative layout proposals for the new manufacturing facilities of a textile company producing knitte...
Layout design and noise study in a weaving section
Monteiro, Ana; Gomes, Andreia; Fernandes, Bruna; Barroso, César; Alves, Diogo; Silva, A. M.This article was developed by a team of students of Industrial Engineering and Management at the University of Minho, using the PBL (Project Based Learning) methodology. The purpose of this article is to define alternative layout proposals for the weaving section of the new factory space of a textile company that produces knitted garments and home textiles. It should be noted that defining a layout is crucial f...

The association of collaterals with myocardial ischemia and viability in chroni...
Leite, Luís; Campos, Gustavo; Silva, Rodolfo; Jorge, Elisabete; Oliveira-Santos, Manuel; Gomes, Andreia; Gonçalves, Lino; Castelo-Branco, MiguelCollateral development in chronic total occlusions (CTO) is crucial to perfuse the distal myocardium and its angiographic evaluation is frequently used to assess the need for revascularization. We aimed to analyse the association between the presence of ischemia and hibernating myocardium, evaluated by cardiac [13 N]NH3/2-[18 F]FDG PET-CT, and the angiographic characterization of the collateral circulation. Pro...
De novo human angiotensin - converting enzyme 2 Decoy NL-CVX1 protects mice fro...
Rebelo, Maria; Tang, Cong; Coelho, Ana R.; Labão-Almeida, Carlos; Schneider, Matthias M.; Tatalick, Laurie; Ruivo, Pedro; de Miranda, Marta PiresThe emergence of novel variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) underscores the need to investigate alternative approaches to prevent infection and treat patients with coronavirus disease 2019. Here, we report the preclinical efficacy of NL-CVX1, a de novo decoy that blocks virus entry into cells by binding with nanomolar affinity and high specificity to the receptor-binding doma...

Impact of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells secretome in cancer progression
Cristóvão, André; Coelho, Pedro; Gomes, AndreiaOvarian cancer is a malignant neoplasm exclusive to females that develops in the ovaries, female sex organs and epithelial ovarian cancer. It has a high mortality rate and is the seventh leading cause of death in women diagnosed with cancer because it develops silently and diagnostic tests have a low predictive value. Thus, developing more accurate diagnostic tests combined with new anti-tumor therapies advance...
