Control of Stemphylium vesicarium in "Rocha" pear using encapsulated essential ...
Mendonça, Inês; Fernandes, Beatriz; Almeida, Carina Manuela Fernandes; Serrano, Carmo; Leão, Miguel; Venâncio, Armando; Silva, Sónia Carina[Excerpt] Introduction Stemphylium vesicarium is a plant-pathogenic fungus that poses a significant challenge to pear production, where it causes brown spot of pear (BSP) [1]. The "Rocha" pear, an exclusively Portuguese variety of high importance has been experiencing substantial losses due to BSP [2]. The rise of fungicide resistance and concerns about their environmental impact have driven the search for sust...
A comparative study of short-term social media use with face-to-face interactio...
Mendonça, Inês; Coelho, Franz; Rando, Belén; Abreu, Ana MariaBackground/Objectives: Previous research suggests that social media use can have immediate cognitive effects, raising concerns about its impact on adolescent cognition. This study aimed to examine the short-term cognitive effects of acute social media exposure and screen time habits by comparing cognitive performance in adolescents (13–15 years old) following 30 min of social media interaction versus face-to-fa...

Mendonça, Inês; Fernandes, Beatriz; Almeida, Carina Manuela Fernandes; Serrano, Carmo; Leão, Miguel; Venâncio, Armando; Silva, Sónia CarinaPortuguese Rocha pear production is suffering substantial losses due to brown spot of pear disease (BSP),caused by the fungus Stemphylium vesicarium [1],[2]. However, recent research has highlighted a widespread presence of Alternaria species on both symptomatic and asymptomatic pear and leaves, suggesting that this genus may also be contributing to the problem. Importantly, Alternaria includes species that pro...
Comparative effectiveness of fungicides against Stemphylium and Alternaria spp....
Mendonça, Inês; Leão, Miguel; Venâncio, Armando; Silva, Sónia CarinaThe Portuguese Rocha pear (Pyrus communis L. cv Rocha) production is facing significant losses due to brown spot disease (BSP), caused by the fungal pathogen Stemphylium vesicarium [1]. Nevertheless, our recent research has revealed a concerning prevalence of Alternaria spp. on both symptomatic and asymptomatic leaves and pears, indicating that both fungi may contribute to this problem. The latter genus include...
Ventricular Septal Rupture After Acute Myocardial Infarction – Can Va-Ecmo Give...
Teixeira, Sara; Mendonça, Inês; Ferreira, Rita; Gaião, Sérgio; Paiva, José ArturVentricular septal rupture (VSR) after myocardial infarction (MI) is a rare but life-threatening complication. Although surgery is the gold standard treatment, best surgical timing is still a matter of debate. Studies are showing a tendency towards survival improvement with delayed intervention on the assumption that scarring of the infarcted tissue may facilitate patch suturing and avoid relapse of the defect....
Insight into the efficiency of microalgae’ lipidic extracts as photosensitizers...
Mendonça, Inês; Silva, Daniela; Conde, Tiago; Maurício, Tatiana; Cardoso, Helena; Pereira, Hugo; Bartolomeu, Maria; Vieira, Cátia; Domingues, M. RosárioAntibacterial resistance causes around 1.27 million deaths annually around the globe and has been recognized as a top 3 priority health threat. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is considered a promising alternative to conventional antibiotic treatments. Algal lipid extracts have shown antibacterial effects when used as photosensitizers (PSs) in aPDT. In this work we assessed the photodynamic efficiency...

High And Intermediate-High Risk Pulmonary Embolism Management: A 5-Year Intensi...
Mendonça, Inês; Teixeira, Sara; Ferreira, Ana Rita; Paiva, José ArturBackground and Objectives: The optimal management of high-risk and intermediate-high-risk Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a matter of ongoing debate. This paper aims to assess the short and long-term clinical outcomes associated with different treatment approaches for high-risk and intermediate-high-risk PE within an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and identify potential areas for improvement. Methods: We conducted a retr...
Dermatomyositis and Crohn's disease – Case report
Neves, Ana; Mendonça, Inês; Marques, José; Costa, José; Almeida, JorgeImmune‐mediated diseases tend to overlap in ways that are not completely understood. When a presentation is not entirely explained by a former condition, other hypotheses should arise. Additionally, the activity of 2 overlapping immune‐mediated conditions is not always associated. We present an unusual association between Crohn's disease and dermatomyositis in a 28‐year‐old man. The patient presented with a 2‐m...
Gastric metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma: an uncommon presentation
Neves, Ana; Mendonça, Inês; Marques, José Alberto da Cunha; Costa, José; Almeida, Jorge S.Gastric metastasis is an infrequent occurrence, especially when derived from lung adenocarcinomas. They can grossly resemble advanced gastric cancer and require comprehensive evaluations of the patients and their symptoms.Here, we present the case of a 71-year-old patient admitted to our hospital due to intense, cramping abdominal pain. He had been previously diagnosed with a right lower lobe adenocarcinoma of ...
