Clinical performance of new software to automatically detect angioectasias in s...
Costa, Dalila Amélia Amorim; Vieira, Pedro Miguel; Pinto, Catarina; Arroja, Bruno; Leal, Tiago; Mendes, Sofia Silva; Gonçalves, Raquel; Lima, C. S.Background: Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) revolutionized the diagnosis and management of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, though the rate of detection of small bowel lesions by the physician is still disappointing. Our group developed a novel algorithm (CMEMS-Uminho) to automatically detect angioectasias which display greater accuracy in VCE static frames than other methods previously published. We aimed to e...

Co-Transplantation of Adipose Tissue-Derived Stromal Cells and Olfactory Enshea...
Gomes, Eduardo D.; Mendes, Sofia Silva; Silva, Rita Catarina Assunção Ribeiro; Teixeira, Fábio Gabriel Rodrigues; Pires, Ana O.; Anjo, Sandra I.Patients suffering from spinal cord injury (SCI) still have a dismal prognosis. Despite all the efforts developed in this area, currently there are no effective treatments. Therefore, cell therapies have been proposed as a viable alternative to the current treatments used. Adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ASCs) and olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) have been used with promising results in different models...

Gomes, Eduardo D.; Mendes, Sofia Silva; Leite-Almeida, Hugo; Gimble, Jeffrey M.; Tam, Roger Y.; Shoichet, Molly S.; Sousa, NunoSpinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a highly incapacitating condition for which there is still no cure. Current clinical approaches are mainly based on palliative care, so there is a need to find possible treatments to SCI. Cellular transplantation is regarded with great expectation due to the therapeutic potential of cells such as Adipose tissue-derived Stromal/Stem Cells (ASCs) or Olfactory Ensheathing Cells (OECs). ...
