Implementação de um questionário epidemiológico a detentores de explorações cas...

A detenção e a criação de animais em explorações caseiras podem representar um risco para a transmissão de agentes patogénicos zoonóticos e de genes de resistência a antibióticos, com impacto na saúde pública. Em Portugal, a ausência de registo de sistemas de produção caseira (SPC) dificulta a caracterização das práticas de gestão e criação de animais, assim como o perfil dos seus proprietários. Este estudo pil...

Carpal Tunnel Release with Regional Block of the Wrist: An Effective Anesthesia

Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common form of nerve compression, and its treatment is almost always surgical with the release of the median nerve. However, there is still no consensus on the type of anesthesia used for this procedure. This study aimed to evaluate whether wrist block represents a valid alternative to local anesthesia. Methods: To that end, 40 patients indicated for surgical rel...

Heart with Mozambique: a Portuguese contribution to the eradication of rheumati...

Biochar supplementation affects the microbiome of recycled manure solids for co...

The widespread use of Recycled Manure Solids (RMS) as cow bedding material is not without risks, since cattle manure may act as a vehicle for pathogenic and antimicrobial resistant bacteria dissemination. Thus, our aim was to evaluate RMS-supplemented with a pine biochar produced in Portugal as a new cow bedding material, since the use of biochar has been shown to have the potential to mitigate the impact of re...

Cytogenetic and molecular characterization of almond trees treated with plant b...

Almond is highly produced in the NE of Portugal, where late frosts during flowering, low precipitation, and high tempera- ture in summer affect productivity and quality. Despite the use of late-flowering cultivars, plant biostimulants (PBs) and boron-based fertilizers can also be used to improve cell division, vegetative growth, photoassimilates rate, and nutritional status. PBs are widely used in some food cro...

Almond is highly produced in the NE of Portugal, where late frosts during flowering, low precipitation, and high temperature in summer affect productivity and quality. In addition to late-flowering cultivars, plant biostimulants (PBs) and boron-based fertilizers have been used to improve cell division, vegetative growth, photoassimilates rate, and nutritional status of almond trees. Despite the wide use of PBs ...

Effects of sample handling and cultivation bias on the specificity of bacterial...

Complex and distinct bacterial communities inhabit marine sponges and are believed to be essential to host survival, but our present-day inability to domesticate sponge symbionts in the laboratory hinders our access to the full metabolic breadth of these microbial consortia. We address bacterial cultivation bias in marine sponges using a procedure that enables direct comparison between cultivated and uncultivat...

Molecular richness and biotechnological potential of bacteria cultured from Irc...

Several bioactive compounds originally isolated from marine sponges have been later ascribed or suggested to be synthesized by their symbionts. The cultivation of sponge-associated bacteria provides one possible route to the discovery of these metabolites. Here, we determine the bacterial richness cultured from two irciniid sponge species, Sarcotragus spinosulus and Ircinia variabilis, and ascertain their biote...
