Colorimetric cellulose-based test strip for the rapid assessment of pathogens e...

(Introduction) Antibody testing plays a crucial role in identifying individuals previously infected with a specific pathogen. The role of antibody testing gained extreme importance, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, as monitoring anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies provides vital epidemiological and clinical insights into the evolution of coronavirus disease and the stratification of immunized and asymptomatic po...

Automated lab-on-chip for the specific detection of invasive species through en...

The ability to detect nucleic acid sequences is revolutionizing the fast identification of specific organisms, particularly with Lab-on-a-chip systems. However, these often rely on complex processes, skilled personnel, and external control devices which limits automation. To address this, we present an automated, portable, and easyto-fabricate lab-on-chip that combines enzyme-assisted DNA signal amplification a...

Dual-mode gold nanoparticle-based method for early detection of Acanthamoeba

Acanthamoeba keratitis is an aggressive and rapidly progressing ocular pathology whose main risk factor is the use of contact lenses. An early and differential diagnosis is considered the main factor to prevent the progression and improve the prognosis of the pathology. However, current diagnosis techniques require time, complex and costly materials making an early diagnosis challenging. Thus, there is a need f...

Book of abstracts for [e]motion - 1st Graduate Conference on Science and Techno...

Our relationship with the body and the material world has been transforming following processes of digitalization that were in motion before COVID-19 but, as consequence, were potentially accelerated. It is urgent to foster research on what is the place for physicality and (i)materiality in our time. In this context, the 1st Graduate Conference on Science and Technology of the Arts chose to focus on the intertw...

Rising stars: da ESTeSL para o mundo da radiologia

Serão apresentadas duas experiências que estudantes de radiologia da ESTeSL tiveram no estrangeiro: a experiência que as estudantes tiveram no seu ERASMUS em Viena de Áustria no 2º semestre de 2014/15 e o decorrer da Summer School OPTIMAX2015, em que as estudantes participaram em agosto de 2015, em Groningen, nos Países Baixos. Falar-se-á um pouco sobre os estudos em radiologia. Discutir-se-ão os desafios que s...

Um equilíbrio entre qualidade de imagem e dose efetiva na radiografia às órbita...

Objectivo do estudo - Investigar se os fatores standard de aquisição de radiografias às órbitas estão otimizados para a deteção de corpos estranhos ferromagnéticos intraoculares em pacientes que irão ser submetidos a ressonâncias magnéticas.

A balance between image quality and effective dose in orbital X-ray screening f...

Purpose: To investigate whether standard X-ray acquisition factors for orbital radiographs are suitable for the detection of ferromagnetic intra-ocular foreign bodies in patients undergoing MRI. Method: 35 observers, at varied levels of education in radiography, attending a European Dose Optimisation EURASMUS Summer School were asked to score 24 images of varying acquisition factors against a clinical standard ...
