MyVet and MyDoc - a laboratory in your phone
Barroso, Teresa; Martins, RuiBackground: Quantifying erythrocytes and leukocytes is crucial in veterinary diagnostics. Traditional methods like flow cytometry, laser scattering, and impedance detection, while accurate, require significant sample volumes and complex preparation. Emerging point-of-care (POC) technologies have identified visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy as a promising, minimally invasive alternative. Objective: Th...
Monitoring beta-blocker therapy in adolescents with exercise-induced intraventr...
Cotrim, Nuno; Café, Hugo M.; Guardado, Jorge; Cordeiro, Pedro; Martins, Rui; Cotrim, Hortense; Cotrim, CarlosBackground: Treadmill exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) is both feasible and safe in the pediatric population. Although regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMAs) have limited diagnostic utility, Doppler studies frequently demonstrate significant intraventricular pressure gradients (IVPGs) during exercise. These IVPGs, which were observed in 39% of 258 previously studied adolescents, are absent at rest. Th...
A comprehensive review of fish protein hydrolysates targeting pet food formulat...
Ribeiro, Tânia Bragança; Maia, Margarida R. G.; Fonseca, António J. M.; Marques, Bianca; Caleja, Cristina; Rosa, Ana; Martins, Rui; Almeida, AndréThe fish industry generates significant amounts of fish by- and co-products (FBCPs) annually, projected to reach 160.8 million tonnes by 2030. This growth highlights the urgent need for sustainable FBCP management and an opportunity to improve the sector's environmental sustainability. Fish protein hydrolysates (FBCPHs) and bioactive peptides (BPs) derived from these FBCPs are gaining recognition in the pet foo...

LAR@MSL Team description paper 2025
Ribeiro, António Fernando Alcântara; Lopes, Carolina; Ribeiro, Cláudio; Martins, Rui; Oliveira, TIago; Borges, Daniel; Araújo, Jorge; Silva, JoséThe LAR@MSL team has participated in MSL for years, from 1999-2007, 2011, 2016, and again in 2023 and 2024. This Team Description Paper aims to briefly explain the robots’ structure, hardware, and software and highlight the most significant changes introduced this year. It is important to note that new students have joined the team and are adapting to the league. This year’s updates include implementing a new M...
Locally-sourced animal protein hydrolysates in high-plant-protein diets can pro...
Rodrigues-dos-Santos, Luciano; Basto, Ana; Monteiro, Marta; António, Carla; Rodrigues, Ana M.; Sá, Tiago; Velasco, Cristina; Martins, Rui; Rosa, AnaUpcycling meat and fish by-products into bioactive protein hydrolysates promotes zero-waste practices within the circular bioeconomy and provides locally-sourced alternatives to replace fishmeal (FM) in aquafeeds. In this study, novel hydrolysates were developed from blue shark skin, fish by-products, and swine processed animal protein, aiming to reduce the high-quality FM inclusion in European seabass (Dicentr...
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish by-products: Innovative extraction and applicatio...
Rodrigues, Matilde; Rosa, Ana; Almeida, André; Martins, Rui; Ribeiro, Tânia; Pintado, Manuela; Gonçalves, Raquel F.S.; Pinheiro, Ana C.Omega -3 fatty acids (O3FA) are essential nutrients that play a crucial role in maintaining human and animal health. They are known for their numerous health claims, including cardiovascular benefits, contributing to both the prevention and treatment of immunological, neurological, reproductive, and cardiovascular complications, and supporting overall well-being. Fish, especially oily fish, comprise rich source...
A project in early childhood education: “What is a zoologist?”
Carvalho, Catarina; Moreira, Maria João; Martins, Rui; Couto, Ângela; Maia-Lima, CláudiaMathematical Education in the early years is undeniably relevant for the social and personal development of the child, impacting their future life. Thus, aiming to bridge real-life experiences with learning opportunities provided in formal educational contexts, there arises the need to integrate Mathematics with the other content areas described in the Curriculum Guidelines for Preschool Education (Silva et al....
