Punishment, re-education and agriculture: Portuguese internal and imperial pena...

This paper considers a set of Portuguese state-funded projects for agricultural colonisation using coerced subjects. In the second half of the nineteenth century, mounting urbanisation, joblessness, and deprivation, resulting in depopulated countryside and a fractious urban milieu, drove experts to seek international examples for institutionalisation and rehabilitation through agricultural labour. Placing those...

Bacteriophage-receptor binding proteins for multiplex detection of Staphylococc...

Health care-associated infections (HCAIs) affect hundreds of millions of patients, representing a significant burden for public health. They are usually associated to multidrug resistant bacteria, which increases their incidence and severity. Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are among the most frequent and life-threatening HCAIs, with Enterococcus and Staphylococcus among the most common isolated pathogens. The co...

Lipid Antigen Presentation by CD1b and CD1d in Lysosomal Storage Disease Patients

The lysosome has a key role in the presentation of lipid antigens by CD1 molecules. While defects in lipid antigen presentation and in invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cell response were detected in several mouse models of lysosomal storage diseases (LSD), the impact of lysosomal engorgement in human lipid antigen presentation is poorly characterized. Here, we analyzed the capacity of monocyte-derived dendriti...

dentificação e iscriminação de Pontos Negros de egurança Viária na Br-101

Single events and century-scale evolution of the northern margin of the Tagus R...

In this work we present preliminary results of the study of one sediment core (EDP1), collected near Cais do Sodré, Lisbon downtown, close to the present day Tagus riverfront. The results allowed differentiation of 4 major sediment units that present a signature of increasing anthropic influence over time. The lowermost unit (Unit 1) corresponds to a subtidal flat accreting in low energy and brackish condition...

Purtscher-Like Retinopathy

Purtscher-like retinopathy is associated with retinal hemorrhages and ischaemia probably due to the complement-mediated leukoembolization. It is a rare and severe angiopathy found in conditions such as acute pancreatitis. Case. We present a case of a 53-year-old man who presented with a Purtscher-like retinopathy associated with the development of acute pancreatitis in the context of a Klatskin tumour (a hilar ...

Bilateral proliferative retinopathy as the initial presentation of chronic myel...

The authors report a rare case of a 48-year-old male with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who initially presented with a bilateral proliferative retinopathy. The patient complained of recent visual loss and floaters in both eyes (BE). Ophthalmologic evaluation revealed a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/50 in the right eye and 20/200 in the left eye (LE). Fundoscopy showed the presence of bilateral peri...

Estudo da pressão arterial numa população de jovens e adultos jovens observados...

Many studies have assessed the blood pressure tracking among children and adolescents, but the results have been controversial. This study assessed the blood pressure tracking in 224 Portuguese school children and young adults following them for 17 years. The correlations obtained for systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both sexes are not very high, although positive and statistically significant. On the o...
