Cabral, Ana Elisa; Rey, Felisa; Domingues, Rosário; Cabral, Miguel; Planas, Miquel; Palma, Jorge; Calado, RicardoSyngnathids (seahorses, pipefishes and seadragons) are an attractive resource for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Despite few scientific studies supporting seahorse nutritional benefits, they are believed to possess medicinal properties that enhance human health. The European short-snout seahorse Hippocampus hippocampus is classified as Data Deficient by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Nevertheless...
Responsiveness to pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD is associated with changes i...
Melo-Dias, Sara; Cabral, Miguel; Furtado, Andreia; Souto-Miranda, Sara; Mendes, Maria Aurora; Cravo, João; Almeida, Catarina Rodrigues; Marques, AldaBackground Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is one of the most cost-effective therapies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management. There are, however, people who do not respond to PR and reasons for non-response are mostly unknown. PR is likely to change the airway microbiota and this could play a role in its responsiveness. In this study we have explored the association between PR effectiveness ...
Prey species and abundance affect growth and photosynthetic performance of the ...
Cartaxana, Paulo; Morelli, Luca; Cassin, Elena; Havurinne, Vesa; Cabral, Miguel; Cruz, SóniaSome sacoglossan sea slugs steal functional macroalgal chloroplasts (kleptoplasts). In this study, we investigated the effects of algal prey species and abundance on the growth and photosynthetic capacity of the tropical polyphagous sea slug Elysia crispata. Recently hatched sea slugs fed and acquired chloroplasts from the macroalga Bryopsis plumosa, but not from Acetabularia acetabulum. However, adult sea slug...

Melo-Dias, Sara; Cabral, Miguel; Furtado, Andreia; Souto-Miranda, Sara; Almeida, Catarina; Marques, Alda; Sousa, AnaPulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is the most cost-effective therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but not all patients are responsive. The reasons behind this and the role of the airway microbiota in PR effectiveness are currently unknown. Here, we explored the effects of PR on oral microbiota and inflammatory markers and the associations of observed changes with responsiveness to PR. 456 saliv...
Gender Distribution in Medical Leadership Roles in Portugal: The Example of Can...
Cabral, Miguel; Paixão, Margarida; Leite, AndreiaIntroduction: Gender equality is one of the sustainable development goals. Low participation of women in leadership roles is an example of gender inequality. In Portugal, there are few studies regarding gender inequality in medical leadership roles. Therefore, we aimed to analyse gender distribution of candidates to regional bodies of the Portuguese Medical Association.Material and Methods: We extracted data fr...
Physical activity recommendations for health : knowledge and perceptions among ...
Martins, João; Cabral, Miguel; Elias, Cecília; Nelas, Ricardo; Sarmento, Hugo; Marques, Adilson; Nicola, Paulo Jorge Morais ZamithEvery population subgroup should know the physical activity (PA) recommendations to benefit their health. The present study sought to examine the knowledge and explore the perceptions of PA recommendations for adults among Portuguese college students, by gender and fields of study. A total of 255 bachelor students (55.3% women; Mage = 21.0±2.2 years) from sport sciences, health sciences and other fields, from f...
Incork: Avaliação da influência da estrutura interna na transmissão de oxigénio...
Oliveira, Vanda; Knapic, Sofia; Lopes, Paulo; Cabral, Miguel; Pereira, HelenaA avaliação da qualidade das rolhas de cortiça natural é feita actualmente por uma análise visual da sua superfície exterior utilizando sistemas automáticos de análise de imagem ou operadores. As rolhas de boa qualidade apresentam poucos poros de pequena dimensão, contrariamente às de menor qualidade com muitos poros ou poros de grande dimensão. Verificase, no entanto, que existe uma grande heterogeneidade das ...
Kinetics of Oxygen Ingress into Wine Bottles Closed with Natural Cork Stoppers ...
Oliveira, Vanda; Lopes, Paulo; Cabral, Miguel; Pereira, HelenaThe kinetics of oxygen ingress into bottles closed with natural cork stoppers was investigated by a nondestructive colorimetric measurement method using the oxidation of an indigo carmine solution. In order to encompass the natural variability of cork regarding its oxygen ingress into the bottle, 600 natural cork stoppers from different quality classes and produced from cork planks of different calipers were an...
