Chitosan-based molecularly imprinted polymers for point-of-care C-reactive prot...
Moreira, Beatriz; Calvet, Sofia; Marques, Arcelina; Martins, Gabriela V.Advanced intelligent wound monitoring is emerging as a critical tool in first-line therapy, supported by innovative products that accelerate the healing process. A novel approach based on molecular imprinting technology was developed to detect biomarkers associated with wound inflammation, using biopolymeric materials. In this study, an electrochemical biosensor for the selective detection of C-reactive protein...
In-shoe plantar pressure measurement technologies for the diabetic foot: A syst...
Castro-Martins, Pedro; Marques, Arcelina; Coelho, Luís; Vaz, Mário; Baptista, João SantosIntroduction Loss of cutaneous protective sensation and high plantar pressures increase the risk for diabetic foot patients. Trauma and ulceration are imminent threats, making assessment and monitoring essential. This systematic review aims to identify systems and technologies for measuring in-shoe plantar pressures, focusing on the at-risk diabetic foot population. Methods A systematic search was conducted acr...

Ferreira, Bianca; Correa-Duarte, Miguel; Marques, Arcelina; Moreira, Felismina; Martins, GabrielaMolecular imprinting undergone a substantial boost driven by the awareness of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs)-ligand recognition skills. In particular, the introduction of natural-based compounds like cyclodextrins into the structural scaffold of synthetic recognition elements attracted great importance as a novel route to design more friendly-environments for protein binding, while promoting higher selec...
Plantar pressure thresholds as a strategy to prevent diabetic foot ulcers: A sy...
Castro-Martins, Pedro; Marques, Arcelina; Coelho, Luís; Vaz, Mário; Costa, José TorresBackground The development of ulcers in the plantar region of the diabetic foot originates mainly from sites subjected to high pressure. The monitoring of these events using maximum allowable pressure thresholds is a fundamental procedure in the prevention of ulceration and its recurrence. Objective The aim of this review was to identify data in the literature that reveal an objective threshold of plantar press...
Conceito de pressão variável para prevenção ativa da ulceração no pé diabético
Castro-Martins, Pedro; Marques, Arcelina; Coelho, Luís; Vaz, Mário(Introdução) O pé diabético é uma designação usada para diversos problemas nos pés causados por complicações da diabetes, como neuropatia e doença vascular periférica, que aumentam o risco de lesão, infeção, ulceração e amputação. A pressão plantar elevada dentro do sapato é um fator de risco para lesões (Schaperetal, 2024). Soluções como palmilhas para monitorizar a pressão plantar e sapatos para aliviar a pre...

VISIR+ project follow-up after four years: Educational and research impact
Pavani, Ana M.B.; Viegas, Clara; Lima, Natércia; Alves, Gustavo R.; Marques, Arcelina; Fidalgo, André; Jacob, Frederico; Silva, Juarez B.This full paper addresses an innovative practice in the experimental teaching/learning in Engineering courses. Engineering is a practical profession where doing is the key. Experimental work and the immersing in the lab environment (hands-on, simulations, remote labs) helps students to construct and strengthen their knowledge. The VISIR+ Project (ERASMUS+), launched in November 2015 and concluded in Abril 2018,...

Castro-Martins, Pedro; Pinto-Coelho, Luis; Marques, Arcelina(Excerto da introdução) A diabetes é uma doença crónica incurável e estima-se que existam em todo o mundo mais de 500 milhões de pessoas com diabetes, sendo declarada pela International Diabetes Federation (IDF, Federação Internacional da Diabetes) como um problema de saúde pública [1]. A Figura 1 traduz de relance os números desta doença.
ABHA - Advanced Biomechanical Hand Assistant
Correia, Vasco; Alves, Lucas; Guimarães, Pedro; Vieira, Diogo; Oliveira, Diego; Marques, Arcelina; Lima, RafaelThe outlook for the future of physiotherapy is very promising, with a gradual increase in its demand. This trend is mainly explained by the fact that there is an increasingly active and ageing population in developed countries. The growing demand for this area will consequently lead to the need for many resources, both human and economic. Currently, there are several bionic hands with various uses and functions...
