Speeding up the experiment-to-model lead time: using a flexible microscope plat...
Martins, AL"Cognitive processes have dynamics that evolve across multiple brain areas, presenting a challenge for studying the mechanisms of the under- lying neural circuits. Such is the case for working memory, a central com- ponent of cognition where sensory information is temporarily retained in a form that can be processed and used to assist future decision-making. Through recent optical and genetic advances that allo...
Detection and Characterization of Visceral Anisakid Nematodes in Blue Whiting f...
Rigkou, A; Hemnani, M; Martins, AL; Mesquita, JRThis study employs molecular detection techniques, including conventional PCR and Sanger sequencing, to investigate the prevalence, species composition and public health implications of Anisakid nematodes in blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) caught off the Portuguese coast. With Portugal’s high fish consumption rates and increasing preference for raw or undercooked seafood, the risk of parasitic infection...
Retrospective study of canine cutaneous tumors submitted to a diagnostic pathol...
Martins, AL; Canadas-Sousa, A; Mesquita, JR; Dias-Pereira, P; Amorim, I; Gärtner, FBackground Cutaneous neoplastic diseases are the most and second-most frequently reported tumors in male and female dogs, respectively. The aims of this study were to report the occurrence of canine cutaneous tumors in a pathology laboratory located in Northern Portugal between 2014 and 2020, and to characterize and categorize the anatomical locations, breed, age, and sex of the animals affected with different ...
Analysis of risk factors for canine mast cell tumors based on the Kiupel and Pa...
Martins, AL; Carvalho, FF; Mesquita, JR; Gärtner, F; Amorim, IBackground: Skin tumors are the most frequently diagnosed lesions, of which 7%-21% are mast cell tumors (MCTs). There is a great effort to identify factors that can influence the prospective course of MCTs. Although, the histological grade is considering an important predictor helping to determine the malignancy and metastatic potential of MCTs. Aim: In this study, an epidemiological analysis of risk factors (b...
Severe hypercalcemia as a form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia presentation in ...
Martins, AL; Moniz, M; Nunes, PS; Abadesso, C; Loureiro, HC; Duarte, X; Almeida, HIHypercalcemia is a rare metabolic disorder in children and is potentially fatal. It has a wide differential diagnosis, including cancer. Here, we report the case of a previously healthy 3-year-old who was admitted to the emergency room with fatigue, hyporeactivity, fever and limping gait that had evolved over 5 days and that was progressively worsening. On examination the patient was unconscious (Glasgow coma s...
The family role in children׳s sleep disturbances: Results from a cross-sectiona...
Martins, AL; Chaves, P; Papoila, AL; Loureiro, HCBACKGROUND: Sleep Disorders (SlD) are frequently undervalued complaints in childhood. Several factors influence sleep, particularly socio-cultural environment and medical conditions such as breathing disorders. Poor sleep hygiene has physical, educational and social consequences. In Portugal, there are few published studies about children׳s sleep habits and rarely based on validated questionnaires. AIM: To stud...
