Chemical Characterization and Differential Lipid-Modulating Effects of Selected...
Amorim, Ricardo; Marques, Mário Pedro; Melim, Catarina; Varela, Carla; Sardão, Vilma A.; Teixeira, José; Dias, Maria Inês; Barros, LillianCôa Valley, located in the northeast of Portugal, harbors more than 500 medicinal plant species. Among them, four species stand out due to their traditional uses: Equisetum ramosissimum Desf. (hemorrhages, urethritis, hepatitis), Rumex scutatus L. subsp. induratus (Boiss. and Reut.) Malag. (inflammation, constipation), Geranium purpureum Vill., and Geranium lucidum L. (pain relief, gastric issues). Given their ...
High-intensity running and sprint distance prior to hamstring injury in elite m...
Morgans, Ryland; Oliveira, Rafael; Ceylan, Halil I.; Teixeira, José; Ryan, Ben; Modric, Toni; Moreira, AlexandreThe analysis of the period prior to injury is still scarce in soccer. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the loading patterns of high-intensity running and sprint distances during the weekly cycle durations across a five year period in an elite soccer club. Specifically, to investigate any over- or under-loading in the weeks preceding hamstring injury. Thirty professional outfield soccer players from an...
Exploring the Potential of Olive By-Products in Bísaro Pig Feed: Effects on the...
Paié-Ribeiro, Jessica; Pinheiro, Victor; Guedes, Cristina; Gomes, Maria José; Teixeira, José; Leite, Ana; Vasconcelos, Lia; Teixeira, AlfredoThe olive oil industry generates large quantities of olive cake (OC), making its use in animal feed an environmentally sustainable alternative. Considering that the ham of Bísaro pigs is traditionally used for the production of cured ham, the analysis of raw meat is essential to understand how diet influences its quality before the maturation process. This study examined the effect of different types of OC in t...
The loading impact of training and match-play on non-contact muscle injuries in...
Morgans, Ryland; Mandorino, Mauro; Zmijewski, Piotr; Ryan, Ben; Modric, Toni; Teixeira, José; Moreira, Alexandre; Oliveira, RafaelThis study investigated the relationship between acute and chronic training load metrics and non-contact muscle injuries in elite soccer players employing a novel statistical approach. A retrospective analysis was conducted during the 2020/21 season on 30 senior outfield players from an English Premier League club. Global Positioning System (GPS) technology monitored total distance, high-speed running (HSR) dis...
"Heaps of meanings": A multidimensional approach to metaphorical expressions
Mateus, Inês; Mendes Oliveira, Helena; Teixeira, José; Soares, Ana PaulaIn the public discourse, if a manager is described as being above their employees or a queen is referred to as “her royal highness”, we tend to understand both expressions as cues of powerful positions, disregarding the explicit verticality of their meaning. Similarly, if a friend or family member calls to confess to a lie and goes on to say they feel lighter, we do not genuinely assume they have lost weight si...
“Montes de sentidos”: Uma abordagem multidimensional às expressões metafóricas
Mateus, Inês Jesus Rodrigues; Oliveira, Helena Mendes; Teixeira, José; Soares, Ana PaulaDe acordo com a Teoria das Metáforas Concetuais (TMC), metáforas concetuais (MC) definem-se como mecanismos que estruturam e mapeiam conceitos abstratos através de noções concretas, estando presentes na linguagem através de expressões metafóricas (e.g., a MC felicidade é em cima está presente no discurso diário através de expressões metafóricas como “estar em alta”). Apesar da pertinência desta teoria, a invest...
Jejunal Artery Aneurysm Exclusion With Immediate Vascular Reconstruction: A Cas...
Jácome, Filipa; Ramos, José; Teixeira, José; Cristino, Humberto; Dias-Neto, MarinaA 44 year-old previously healthy woman presented a persistent epigastric pain. Computed tomography revealed a saccular aneurysm with a diameter of 25x20 mm in the first jejunal artery and also a stenosis in the celiac trunk associated with median arcuate ligament syndrome, turning the hepatic perfusion dependent of the gastroduodenal artery flow. Through a midline laparotomy, celiac axis was exposed, and median...
Burro, preto ou perro? Quem é que de velho não aprende línguas? Significado, co...
Teixeira, JoséA vida longa que muitos provérbios têm pode ser interpretada, à primeira vista, como prova da sua permanência e estabilidade sociolinguística. No entanto, uma investigação mais cuidada permite descobrir que mesmo vários provérbios bem conhecidos e bastante usados na atualidade portuguesa foram muitíssimo alterados, partindo de uma base de significado linguístico para outra bem diversa, permanecendo, porém, o se...
From Waste to Resource: Compositional Analysis of Olive Cake’s Fatty Acids, Nut...
Paié-Ribeiro, Jessica; Baptista, Filipa; Teixeira, José; Guedes, Cristina; Gomes, Maria J.; Teixeira, Alfredo; Barros, Ana Novo; Pinheiro, VictorThe olive oil industry, recognised for its beneficial products for health and food culture, generates a significant amount of by-products that, if not appropriately managed, can pose considerable environmental challenges. This study examined six olive cakes (OC) from the Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro regions, collected on different dates and mills: two obtained by pressing (COC), two by centrifugation (TPOC), i...
In vivo study of the effect of sugarcane bagasse lignin supplementation on broi...
Carvalho, Nelson Mota de; Souza, Carla Giselly de; Costa, Célia Maria; Castro, Cláudia; Fangueiro, Joana F.; Horta, Bruno; Outor-Monteiro, DivanildoSince the global restrictions on antibiotics in poultry systems, there has been a growing demand for natural and sustainable feed additives for disease prevention and poultry nutrition. This study evaluated the effects of incorporating sugarcane bagasse (SCB) lignin into broiler chicken diets. The performance of the chickens, including body weight, feed intake, and mortality, as well as intestinal histomorphome...
