A One pathology multicentre Portuguese approach to thyroid tumours of dogs and ...
Gaspar, Tiago; Borges, Inês; Canberk, Sule; Monteiro, Alexandra; Catarino, José; Pinto, Mafalda; Teixeira, Elisabete; Canadas-Sousa, Ana; Branco, SandraThyroid tumours are the most common endocrine tumours of dogs and cats. Feline thyroid tumours are essentially functional adenomas curable with thyroidectomy, whereas most canine thyroid tumours are non-functional carcinomas either unresectable or recurrent within two years in up 50%. The oncobiology of these tumours remains unclear, but investigating this aspect could contribute to the development of targeted ...
Investigating the association between ambient particulate matter (PM10) exposur...
Gaio, Vânia; Roquette, Rita; Monteiro, Alexandra; Ferreira, Joana; Matias Dias, Carlos; Nunes, BaltazarIntrodução e objetivo: A pressão arterial elevada (PA) continua a ser um importante fator de risco cardiovascular (CV) modificável. Vários estudos epidemiológicos têm sido realizados para avaliar a associação entre a exposição à poluição do ar e este fator de risco CV, mas os resultados permanecem inconsistentes. Este estudo tem como objetivo estimar o efeito da exposição de curta duração às PM10 (concentração ...
Annual and seasonal variability of greenhouse gases fluxes over coastal urban a...
Salgueiro, Vanda; Cerqueira, Mário; Monteiro, Alexandra; Alves, Célia; Rafael, Sandra; Borrego, Carlos; Pio, CasimiroFluxes of CO2, H2O and energy were measured continuously during a four-year period by eddy covariance, simultaneously at an urban and a suburban sites in the western coast of Portugal. The parallel measurements permitted to distinguish anthropogenic from natural CO2 emission/deposition. Natural CO2 fluxes were important in the suburban location. Anthropogenic emission of CO2 dominated the urban fluxes, being th...

Monteiro, Alexandra; Soares, Aldemir; Paes Junior, Ademar José de Oliveira; Marques, Eduardo Pereira; Teixeira, Laís Balieiro Diniz; Bergstein, GilbertoObjective : Identify the best practice guidelines for filing and sharing patient’s data under the law of the General Data Protection. Resources and Methods : A bibliographical analysis was executed, precisely on the documentary research; alongside the analysis of the topics of law and doctrine, especially in the aspects that are relevant to medical practice. Result : The consent and information about the patie ...
A importância do marketing digital na indústria do mobiliário de luxo - Caso Br...
Monteiro, AlexandraO domínio da Internet sob o mundo é algo que não surpreende, pois com esta nova realidade digital surgiram novas formas de comunicação que mudaram a relação criada com o consumidor. Assim, é necessário adaptar as comunicações, de forma a atingir este novo perfil de consumidor. O estágio realizou-se na marca BRABBU, uma das empresas pertencentes ao Grupo Covet, com início no dia 7 de setembro de 2020 e término n...
Exposure to ambient particulate matter increases blood count parameters with po...
Gaio, Vânia; Roquette, Rita; Monteiro, Alexandra; Ferreira, Joana; Rafael, Sandra; Dias, Carlos Matias; Nunes, BaltazarVariations in blood count parameters are potential mechanisms involved in the occurrence of cardiovascular events caused by particulate matter (PM) exposure. This study aims to estimate the effect of PM10 exposure on blood count parameters with potential to mediate a cardiovascular event. We used data from 2211 participants of the 1st Portuguese Health Examination Survey (INSEF, 2015) with available information...
PM10 exposure interacts with abdominal obesity to increase blood triglycerides:...
Gaio, Vânia; Roquette, Rita; Monteiro, Alexandra; Ferreira, Joana; Lopes, Diogo; Dias, Carlos Matias; Nunes, BaltazarBackground: Blood lipids and glucose levels dysregulation represent potential mechanisms intermediating the adverse cardiovascular effects of ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure. This study aims to estimate the effect of long-term PM10 exposure on blood lipids and glucose levels and to assess the potential mediation and/or modification action of abdominal obesity (AO) (waist-to-height ratio). Methods: Our ...
Association between respiratory hospital admissions and air quality in Portugal...
Martins, Ana; Scotto, Manuel; Deus, Ricardo; Monteiro, Alexandra; Gouveia, SóniaAlthough regulatory improvements for air quality in the European Union have been made, air pollution is still a pressing problem and, its impact on health, both mortality and morbidity, is a topic of intense research nowadays. The main goal of this work is to assess the impact of the exposure to air pollutants on the number of daily hospital admissions due to respiratory causes in 58 spatial locations of Portug...
The role of the atmospheric aerosol in weather forecasts for the Iberian Penins...
Silveira, Carlos; Martins, Ana; Gouveia, Sónia; Scotto, Manuel; Miranda, Ana I.; Monteiro, AlexandraIn the atmosphere, aerosols play an important role in climate change, the Earth’s environment and human health. The purpose of this study is to investigate the direct and semi-direct aerosol effects on weather forecasting, focusing on the Iberian Peninsula (IP). To that end, two Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Chem simulations (with and without aerosol feedback) for an entire year (2015) were performed. ...
Assessing air pollution in European cities to support a citizen centered approa...
Rodrigues, V.; Gama, C.; Ascenso, A.; Oliveira, K.; Coelho, S.; Monteiro, Alexandra; Hayes, E.; Lopes, M.European cities have made significant progress over the last decades towards clean air. Despite this progress, several cities are still facing acute air pollution episodes, with various urban areas frequently exceeding air quality levels allowed by the European legal standards and WHO guidelines. In this paper, six European cities/ regions (Bristol, UK; Amsterdam, NL; Sosnowiec, PL; Ljubljana, SI; Aveiro, PT; L...
