HIV-1-Transmitted Drug Resistance and Transmission Clusters in Newly Diagnosed ...
Pingarilho, M; Pimentel, V; Miranda, M; Silva, AR; Diniz, A; Ascenção, B; Piñeiro, C; Koch, C; Rodrigues, C; Caldas, C; Morais, C; Faria, DObjective: To describe and analyze transmitted drug resistance (TDR) between 2014 and 2019 in newly infected patients with HIV-1 in Portugal and to characterize its transmission networks. Methods: Clinical, socioepidemiological, and risk behavior data were collected from 820 newly diagnosed patients in Portugal between September 2014 and December 2019. The sequences obtained from drug resistance testing were us...
Effects of Coir-Based Growing Medium with Municipal Solid Waste Compost or Bioc...
Machado, R M A; Alves-Pereira, I; Morais, C; Alemão, A; Ferreira, RThe use of municipal solid waste compost (MSW) and biochar, two renewable resources with a low carbon footprint as components of substrates, may be an alternative to reducing peat and coir usage. The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of selectively collected MSW and biochar as components of the coir-based substrate to spinach grown. An experiment was carried out to evaluate five substrates, coir a...

Enfarte agudo do miocárdio no YouTube – Is it all fake news?
Fialho, I; Beringuilho, M; Madeira, D; Ferreira, JB; Faria, D; Ferreira, H; Roque, D; Santos, MB.; Morais, C; Gil, V; Augusto, JB.Introduction and objectives: The Internet is a fundamental aspect of health information. However, the absence of quality control encourages misinformation. We aim to assess the relevance and quality of acute myocardial infarction videos shared on YouTube (www.youtube.com) in Portuguese. Methods: We analyzed 1,000 videos corresponding to the first 100 search results on YouTube using the following terms (in Portu...
Predictors of de novo atrial fibrillation in a non-cardiac intensive care unit
Augusto, J; Fernandes, A; Freitas, PT; Gil, V; Morais, COBJECTIVE: To assess the predictors of de novo atrial fibrillation in patients in a non-cardiac intensive care unit. METHODS: A total of 418 hospitalized patients were analyzed between January and September 2016 in a non-cardiac intensive care unit. Clinical characteristics, interventions, and biochemical markers were recorded during hospitalization. In-hospital mortality and length of hospital stay in the inte...
Tromboembolismo pulmonar e disseção da aorta concomitantes: abordagem à anticoa...
Roque, D; Magno, P; Ministro, A; Santos, M; Sousa, M; Augusto, J; Morais, COs autores descrevem um caso de uma doente admitida após episódio pré-sincopal associado a precordialgia e cujo ecocardiograma sumário feito no Servic¸o de Urgência demonstrou alterac¸ões compatíveis com tromboembolismo pulmonar, tendo a doente sido submetida a terapêutica fibrinolítica, após episódio de paragem cardiorrespiratória. Na angiotomografia de tórax feita posteriormente para confirmac¸ão diagnóstica ...
Impacto da terapêutica conservadora de órgão do carcinoma do pénis na função se...
Santos-Lopes, S; Ferreira, C; Morais, C; Oliveira, JPenile carcinoma is one of the less frequent tumors of the genitourinary system, however its effect on the patients' sex life and quality of life is of great impact. Studies about the influence on patients' sex life are scarce. OBJECTIVES: To characterize sexual activity with penetration of patients with penile carcinoma who underwent different conservative therapeutic approaches and to evaluate pre and post tr...
Mild troponin elevation in patients admitted to the emergency department with a...
Augusto, J; Santos, M; Roque, D; Faria, D; Urzal, J; Morais, J; Gil, V; Morais, CPatients with atrial fibrillation (AF) often undergo troponin (Tn) testing in the emergency department (ED), but the clinical significance of mildly elevated values remains unclear. We evaluated short-term 30-day post-discharge outcomes in AF patients according to troponin levels. Out of 2181 AF patients evaluated in the ED (June 2014 to June 2015), we included consecutive admitted patients. Patients were group...

Errors in protein synthesis increase the level of saturated fatty acids and aff...
Araújo, A; Melo, T; Maciel, E; Pereira, C; Morais, C; Santinha, D; Tavares, J; Oliveira, H; Jurado, A; Costa, V; Domingues, P; Domingues, M; Santos, MThe occurrence of protein synthesis errors (mistranslation) above the typical mean mistranslation level of 10−4 is mostly deleterious to yeast, zebrafish and mammal cells. Previous yeast studies have shown that mistranslation affects fitness and deregulates genes related to lipid metabolism, but there is no experimental proof that such errors alter yeast lipid profiles. We engineered yeast strains to misincorpo...
