TikTok's influence on entertainment consumption intention in Portugal

Currently, the presence of the internet and, more specifically, social media, plays an important role in consumers' day-to-day lives. Marketing strategies have had to evolve to better adapt/adjust to social media and subsequently communicate effectively with their target audience. This phenomenon gained even more importance when, during the COVID-19 pandemic, a new communication/social media platform emerged, g...

Novel genetic strategies for the characterization of Familial Hypercholesterole...

Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common genetic lipid disorder with increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease due to lifelong elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). FH is known to be caused by pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants in LDLR, APOB, PCSK9 genes, but remains underdiagnosed worldwide due to lack of clinical identification. In 40-70% of the clinical F...

Validation and Extension of a Logistic Regression Model Developed from a Cohort...

Single versus Multiple Imputation Methods Applied to Classify Dyslipidemic Pati...

Integrated MASW and ERT Imaging for Geological Definition of an Unconfined Allu...

This paper integrates multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) and time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) to define aquifer geometry and identify transient groundwater features of the Cascalheira Stream Basin Holocene alluvial aquifer (aquifer H), which contributes to the Santo André Lagoon, part of a coastal groundwater-dependent ecosystem (GDE), located in southwest Portugal. MASW measures sh...

Report and genetic identification of Amyloodinium ocellatum in a sea bass (Dice...

In this paper we report a case of amyloodiniosis in a sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) broodstock in Portugal. Microscopic examination of gill filaments showed the presence of trophonts while histological observation revealed gills epithelial hyperplasia, hypertrophy and lamellar fusion of secondary lamellae. The amplification and sequencing of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene allowed the identification of t...

Sitosterolaemia: a case of rare hypercholesterolaemia in FH patient’s cohort

Aims: Familial Hyperpercholesterolaemia (FH) is the most common of all genetic hypercholesterolaemias. However there are other rare disorders presenting the same phenotype (phenocopies). Sitosterolaemia is one of those rare recessive disorders in which patients can present high levels of LDL-C but, most importantly, they present vegetal fat accumulation in tendons and arteries, leading also to increased cardiov...

Frecuencia, aspectos clínicos y moleculares de la hipercolesterolemia familiar ...

Objetivo: Describir la frecuencia, los aspectos clínicos, bioquímicos y moleculares de la hipercolesterolemia familiar (HF) en sujetos que acuden a una unidad de endocrinología.

Sitosterolémia: uma causa rara de hipercolesterolemia

A Sitosterolémia (OMIM 210250) é uma doença autossómica recessiva rara causada por mutações nos genes ABCG5/ABCG8 que codificam o transportador intestinal e biliar dos esteróis vegetais, com consequente acumulação no sangue e tecidos. Caracteriza-se pela presença de xantomas e aterosclerose prematura. O diagnóstico é feito pela deteção de sitosterol, campesterol e stigmasterol no plasma e confirmado por estudo ...

Um modelo de equilíbrio geral para medir o impacto dos fundos comunitários numa...

Desde a adesão de Portugal à União Europeia (UE), em 1986, que, no âmbito dos quadros negociados, a Região Autónoma dos Açores (RAA) beneficia de transferências financeiras provenientes dos diversos fundos estruturais (FEDER, FSE, FEOGA-O, FEOGA-G e FEP). A avaliação dos efeitos das transferências da UE sobre os indicadores de crescimento, investimento e emprego dos países beneficiários tem sido realizada com b...
