Transdisciplinary development of a bovine surgery simulator
Dâmaso, Ângela; Catita, Joana; Marcelino, Eduardo; Silva, João Cannas da; Sousa, Pedro Miguel; Cascalheira, RicardoThe global increase of veterinary students, the growing demands for high standards in educational quality, and the biosecurity and physical risks have led many veterinary education establishments to use models to simulate clinical procedures. Traditionally, teaching clinical areas of medicine starts with the explanation of fundamental theoretical concepts, followed by application in a real clinical context usin...
Como comunicam as células? : em busca de Notch e dos seus parceiros
Batista, Mariana; Soares, Maria; Marques, Cátia; Catita, Joana; Catarino, José Carlos Mota; Faísca, PedroNo crescimento, desenvolvimento e homeostasia dos seres multicelulares as suas células devem comunicar entre si eficientemente. Entre as várias estratégias possíveis, a via de comunicação intercelular Notch é uma das mais bem conservadas entre os metazoários. Notch está frequentemente implicada na regulação da diferenciação/proliferação celulares, sendo as suas ações específicas da célula em causa, do tecido on...
Towards collaborative research between veterinarians, zooarchaeologists and gen...
Pires, Ana Elisabete; Batista, Mariana; Alves, Maria Margarida Ferreira; Ferreira, Dulce; Gabriel, Sónia; Braga, Giovana; Soares, Maria JoãoThere is a need to shift the research culture and embrace collaborative partnerships, involving multiple teams with complementary expertise. Anatomical examination of animal bones found at archaeological sites may provide information regarding species, age and sex identification and find evidence of past animal use. Additionally, animal remains may help reconstruct prehistoric human-animal relations and deduce ...
Apicultura : revisão de literatura
Martinho, C.; Ferradeira, Cristina; Catita, Joana; Faustino, Ana Isabel RochaA apicultura constitui um setor pecuário da máxima importância. A abelha é considerada um inseto valioso do ponto de vista económico e da diversidade biológica dos ecossistemas. As abelhas melíferas (Apis mellifera) são consideradas biossensores da saúde dos ecossistemas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar uma revisão de literatura sobre a apicultura, descrevendo as espécies de abelhas envolvidas nesta...
National survey of cat tumors in 2019: a retrospective study
Soares, Maria; Marques, Célia; Catarino, José; Batista, Mariana; Catita, Joana; Faísca, PedroCancer is one of the most common causes of death in cats. Besides its clinical importance, small animals with spontaneous tumours are attractive comparative models for Oncologic studies. Cancer registries are important to provide increased information, which can be used in epidemiological studies and prophylactic and treatment strategies. The aim of this study was to characterize the current distribution of fel...
Vascular interstitial cells in retinal arteriolar annuli are altered during hyp...
Ramos, David; Catita, Joana; Lopez-Luppo, Mariana; Valença, Andreia; Bonet, Aina; Carretero, Ana; Navarro, Marc; Nacher, Victor; Mendez-Ferrer, SimonABSTRACT - Purpose: It has been suggested that arteriolar annuli localized in retinal arterioles regulate retinal blood flow acting as sphincters. Here, the morphology and protein expression profile of arteriolar annuli have been analyzed under physiologic conditions in the retina of wild-type, β-actin–Egfp, and Nestin–gfp transgenic mice. Additionally, to study the effect of hypertension, the KAP transgenic mo...
