A zona marítima dos concelhos de Cascais, Mafra e Sintra tem sido pouco estudada, não obstante situar-se frente a grandes centros urbanos e ser alvo de diversos usos e atividades humanas. Algumas das suas características geográficas e dos seus elementos notáveis ao nível dos fundos marinhos acrescem o seu interesse científico e patrimonial. Com o objectivo de ampliar o conhecimento científico sobre a biodiversi...
Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among women, and a leading cause of death worldwide. Santolina chamaecyparissus L. is a plant with multiple health benefits, includ- ing anticancer and anti-diabetic properties. This study aimed to assess the chemopreven- tive effects of S. chamaecyparissus aqueous ex- tract (SCE) in an animal model of mammary cancer. A total of 28 four-week-old female Wistar rats were...
Breast cancer is the most common oncological disease among women. The lifestyle, including physical activity and diet may prevent it. This study assessed the impact of exercise training on hematological and biochemical parameters in a rat model of mammary cancer. Twenty-eight female rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=7): Sedentary (SED); SED+N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU); Exercised (EX); and EX+MNU. ...

Introdução: Desde há algumas décadas que se pensa que uma hiperactividade dopaminérgica da via mesolímbica esteja implicada na génese dos sintomas positivos da esquizofrenia. Objectivos: Nesta revisão da literatura procurámos interligar as várias áreas do conhecimento actual, procurando fazer a ponte com a prática clínica. Métodos: Foi efectuada uma pesquisa sistemática da literatura em inglês, até Abril de 201...
One hundred and thirty-eight isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae showing resistance to ceftazidime were isolated from different wards of the Hospital de Santa Maria, Lisbon, The genomic DNA of the isolates was analysed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and two patterns were predominant. In all isolates the presence of a single large plasmid of about 50 kb suggested that propagation of the outbreak promin...
