A Comparative Overview of the Role of Human Ribonucleases in Nonsense-Mediated ...
da Costa, Paulo J.; Menezes, Juliane; Guedes, Raquel; Reis, Filipa P.; Teixeira, Alexandre; Saramago, Margarida; Viegas, Sandra C.; Arraiano, Cecília M.Eukaryotic cells possess surveillance mechanisms that detect and degrade defective transcripts. Aberrant transcripts include mRNAs with a premature termination codon (PTC), targeted by the nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway, and mRNAs lacking a termination codon, targeted by the nonstop decay (NSD) pathway. The eukaryotic exosome, a ribonucleolytic complex, plays a crucial role in mRNA processing and turnove...
Ear pain − Not always otitis

Eating disorder - a diagnosis of exclusion
Fonseca, Margarida Silva; Santos, Helena; Guedes, Raquel; Braga Tavares, HugoIn adolescents with weight loss, diagnoses other than eating disorders should be considered, namely neurological diseases. A 16-year-old girl with an intellectual development disorder was referred to the Adolescent Medicine outpatient clinic from Child Psychiatry with a diagnosis of eating disorder and persistent anemia. Her body mass index was consistently below the fifth percentile and long-lasting eating dif...

Ferreira, Sofia Simões; Oliveira, Mafalda; Aguiar, Benedita; Ferreira, Márcia; Guedes, Raquel; Cordeiro, Márcia; Tavares, HugoTeen’s inexperience and willingness to please others make them especially susceptible to violent behaviour in relationships, which they accept as natural and as manifestations of love. This study determines the prevalence of dating violence (DV) in a sample of adolescents from a high school in the northern region of Portugal, their knowledge and attitudes about DV, as well as the effectiveness of a brief interv...
