The Egas Moniz histology digital platform : a dream that came true

Abundance and population structure of Plesionika narval (Fabricius, 1787) in th...

Analysis of abundance and population structure of Plesionika narval was performed on data concerning 5,255 specimens obtained from 62 fishing sets carried out off the Madeira archipelago (Northeastern Atlantic) between 2004 and 2008 in a depth range from 101 to 350 m. Abundance ranged from 0.01 to 19.74 specimens-per-trap and significant differences were found between seasons, probably as a result of an increme...

Prenatal attachment, depression and dyadic adjustment in couples expecting a baby

Pregnancy is a period that entails many changes in the woman’s life, man and consequently in the couple’s life. Previous studies have shown that parents’ attachment to the baby develops in gesta8onal period and correlates with prenatal depression and quality of marital adjustment. They also proved to have an impact on transi8on to parenthood and overall emo8onal involvement between the triad. With this study, w...

O enfermeiro do trabalho na análise de determinantes de saúde dos trabalhadores

Objective: The work environment is a privileged place for taking action to protect and promote the health of the employees. It’s up to the health professional to know the determinants of health of the population, in order to act according the needs detected, on the priorities defined, and to monitor and evaluate the interventions results in a dynamic model of continuous intervention. In this sense, this study a...

Prospective study of the fishery of the shrimp Plesionika narval (Fabricius, 17...

Several experimental surveys were carried out in the Northeastern Atlantic, Madeira archipelago from 1991 to 2008 to explore new fisheries resources. This study examined the selectivity of bottom and floating traps and the analysis of yield-per-recruit (YPR) and biomass-per-recruit (BPR) providing helpful insight to the management of the shrimp Plesionika narval. A total of 28,262 specimens were sampled and the...

Definition of the Portuguese frameworks with international relevance as an inpu...

This work constitutes the first contribution for the systematisation of the geological heritage knowledge in Portugal, following the international recomendations for the characterisation of geological heritage (IUGS, ProGEO). The application of the ProGEO methodology has resulted on the creation of fourteen frameworks with international relevance, established by consensus among the Portuguese geological communi...

Isolation of bacteriophages lytic against E. coli strains collected from infect...

Cytogenetic Analysis of Spontaneously Activated Noninseminated Oocytes and Part...

Purpose: Spontaneous parthenogenetically activated noninseminated oocytes and failed fertilized oocytes after ART activated by puromycin were studied to assess cleavage ability and the cytogenetic constitution of the resulting embryos. Methods: Failed fertilized oocytes were exposed to puromycin, and whenever activation occurred, they were further cultured until arrest of development. FISH was used to assess th...

Increment at molt for the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) from the south c...

The increment at molt for Nephrops norvegicus was studied with the objective of obtaining a model for prediction of post-molt size based on pre-molt size for the population from the south coast of Portugal. Wild animals were maintained in a specially prepared laboratory facility until they malted. Individual values of increment at molt were obtained and used to evaluate alternative models and estimate their par...

Analysis of Human Spermatozoa by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization with Preser...

Purpose: Development of a hybridization technique for spermatozoa allowing the preservation of the head morphology. Methods : FISH analysis of fixed semen samples from oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) patients with a normal somatic karyotype attending the Cytogenetics and the IVF Laboratories of a University hospital for semen analysis. In situ hybridization with centromeric probes for chromosomes X, Y, and 1...
