OP0147 THE SLE-DAS REMISSION AND LOW DISEASE ACTIVITY STATES DISCRIMINATE DRUG ...
Jesus, D.; Henriques, Carla; Matos, A.; Doria, A.; Inês, L.Background Accurate and practical outcome measures for clinical trials in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are lacking. The SLE Disease Activity Score (SLE-DAS) is a recently validated 17-item instrument, with high accuracy and sensitivity to changes in SLE disease activity. The SLE-DAS definitions of remission and low disease activity (LDA) were newly validated in the clinical setting1,2. These definitions m...

The SLE Disease Activity Score (SLE-DAS) is a recently validated 17-item instrument, with high accuracy and sensitivity to changes in SLE disease activity. The SLE-DAS definitions of remission and low disease activity (LDA) were newly validated against disease activity physician-applied meas...
Unravelling the effects of treated wastewater discharges on the water quality i...
Cravo, Alexandra; Barbosa, A.B.; Correia, C.; Matos, A.; Caetano, S.; Lima, M.J.; Jacob, J.This study aimed to assess the influence of treated wastewater disposal on Ria Formosa coastal lagoon (South Portugal), the largest national producer of bivalve mollusks. Water quality was evaluated at two areas under different wastewater loads and hydrodynamic conditions, using physico-chemical variables, bacterial indicators of contamination, chlorophyll-a concentration, phytoplankton abundance and compositio...
Playfulness and communication for children with autism spectrum disorder: guide...
Alves, Valter; P. Duarte, Rui; Fonseca, F.; Bernardo, Marco V.; Barreto, Pedro; Silva, C.E.; Felizardo, Sara; Videira, I.; Matos, A.; Henriques, C.Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects sensory processing and conditions the development of communication skills and social interaction. Literature shows that children with ASD are fond of technologies and videogames in particular. The predictable and constant behaviour of technological components, the visual appeal, and the challenges are often highly appreciated (Zakari et al., 2014). Besides, videogames typi...
The occurrence of inorganic contaminants in ‘tronchuda’ cabbage (Brassica olera...
Ventura, Marta; Cavaco, H.; Delgado, Inês; Coelho, Inês; Gueifão, Sandra; Martins, M.; Costa, M.H.; Matos, A.; Castanheira, IsabelEuropean Mediterranean countries have been affected by unhealthy pollutants released by wildfire smoke. This work aims to determine the inorganic elements, present in the vegetable widely consumed by the rural population, provided by burned areas. Two groups composed the sampling plan; group one before forest fires and group two after forest fires under three campaigns: 1) immediately after forest fires; 2) aft...
Características do tomate de estufa – cultivo em substrato vs cultivo em solo
Saraiva, R.; Dias, Igor; Reis, A.; Matos, A.; Faro, M.; Oliveira, MargaridaEm Portugal, a região do Oeste é responsável pela produção de cerca de 100 000 toneladas de tomate por ano em estufa. A importância da cultura para a região é inegável e a aposta no setor é fundamental, com os sistemas sem solo a ganhar ênfase, numa cultura que é ainda predominantemente conduzida em solo. De modo a avaliar a possível vantagem da alteração do sistema produtivo para os produtores da região, foi c...
Building a database for provenance studies of origin wines from the Douro Valley
Coelho, I.; Matos, A.; Nascimento, A.; Bordado, J.; Donard, O.; Epova, E.; Barre, J.; Berail, S.; Castanheira, I.AIM: The aim of the present work is to produce high quality analytical data suitable for evaluating the provenance of Port wine and Douro wine and integrating an authentic wine reference database. Both wines are produced within the same geographical area, the Douro Valley region located in the northeast of Portugal but follow different vinification procedures. The fermentation of Port wine is interrupted by the...
Using text mining to analyse digital transformation impact on people
Matos, F.; Vairinhos, V.; Matos, A.Digital transformation is changing people's lives in many ways, creating competition between people and machines. All aspects of people’s lives are being influenced with global impacts for society. In this context, many problems have emerged for which there is still no clear ideas of their effects on people's lives. To study these problems, new tools and methodologies are needed in order to compare large volume...
Genetic and environment interactions contribute to longevity : a case-control s...
da Silva, Alda Pereira; Aguiar, L.; Matos, A.; Covas-Lima, J.; Gil, Â.; Gorjão Clara, João; Polónia, J.; Bicho, Manuel PiresObjective: Environmental or genetic factors, together with the interaction between them, may explain the increasing population of centenarians. This research aimed to understand these interactions that underlie centenarian’s phenotypes, namely gene-gene and gene-environment, particularly in relation to cardiovascular risk (CVR).
Physical-chemical and rheological characterization of tomato (Solanum lycopersi...
Basto De Lima, Maria Gabriela; Dias, Igor; Oliveira, Margarida; Torgal, Isabel; Faro, Maria; Matos, A.; Reis, A.The objective of this study was to evaluate the physico-chemical and rheological characteristics of two tomato varieties, Vimeiro and Runner, grown in Algarve - Portugal - in five case studies (A, B, C, D and E), during the harvest season. The samples were submitted to analysis: weight, caliber, moisture, total soluble solids, total titratable acidity, lycopene, color and hardness. When considering the factors ...
