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...
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...
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...

Genetic modulation of HPV infection and cervical lesions: role of oxidative str...
Inácio, Angela; Aguiar, Laura; Rodrigues, Beatriz; Pires, Patrícia; Ferreira, Joana; Matos, Andreia; Mendonça, Inês; Rosa, Raquel; Bicho, ManuelHuman papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a necessary but not sufficient factor for the development of invasive cervical cancer (ICC) and high-grade intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). Oxidative stress is known to play a crucial role in HPV infection and carcinogenesis. In this study, we comprehensively investigate the modulation of HPV infection, HSIL and ICC, and ICC through an exploration of oxidative stress-relate...
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 ...

Mendonça, Inês; Coelho, Franz; Ferrajão, Paulo; Abreu, Ana MariaCOVID-19 has come to change societal organization. Due to lockdowns, work typologies have been rethought and telework has gained strength. However, the impact of the constant use of information and communication technologies on the mental health of workers needs to be considered. We aimed to investigate the impact of different work conditions on mental health, to which end we disseminated an online questionnair...
