Delgado, Bruno Miguel; Lopes, Ivo; Rodrigues , Fátima; Neto, Célia; Pereira , Ana Seixas; Novo, AndréINTRODUCTION: Heart Failure inpatients have a significant functional dependence, impairment of performance in activities of daily living and low exercise tolerance... The amount of Exercise is directly related to its benefits and the volume of exercise performed must be adjusted to safety issues. The aim of this study is to evaluate the volume of exercise performed and it’s relation with functional capacity and...

Assessment of water quality parameters and their seasonal behaviour in a Portug...
Chaves, Raquel S.; Salvador, Daniel; Nogueira, Paulo Jorge; Santos, Miguel M.; Aprisco, Paula; Neto, Célia; Cardoso, Vítor; Benoliel, Maria J.Water quality monitoring is a fundamental tool in the management of freshwater resources. The purpose of monitoring is to provide meaningful quality data for local action planning and catchment-wide decision making. The assessment of water quality is crucial to guarantee the efficient operation of the Water Treatment Plants (WTPs), promoting health conditions and contributing for a more sustainable urban water ...
Deteção de vírus entéricos em amostras de água natural superficial e de água pa...
Salvador, Daniel; Caeiro, Maria; Aguilar, Joana; Benoliel, Maria João; Neto, CéliaWater-related infectious diseases are important causes of morbidity and mortality. Enterovirus and Hepatitis A and E viruses are, among others, representative of the enteric viruses, which are disease-causing agents mainly transmitted by the oral-fecal route, through water. The objective of this study is to search for enteric viruses by reverse transcription followed by Real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), in samples of na...
Monitoring waterborne pathogens in surface and drinking waters : are water trea...
Salvador, Daniel; Caeiro, Maria; Serejo, Fátima; Nogueira, Paulo Jorge; Carneiro, Rui Neves; Neto, CéliaMonitoring the quality of water is a requisite to prevent outbreaks related to waterborne diseases, predominantly caused by pathogens like enteric viruses, usually transmitted via the fecal-oral route. This study aimed to survey a group of enteric viruses (Enterovirus, Norovirus genogroups I and II, and hepatitis A virus) in two surface water sources of drinking water, also intending to evaluate the extent of t...
Assessment of the presence of Hepatitis E virus in surface water and drinking w...
Salvador, Daniel; Neto, Célia; Benoliel, Maria João; Caeiro, M. F.Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a non-enveloped single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus, belonging to the Hepeviridae family, resistant to environmental conditions, and transmitted by the consumption of contaminated water. This virus is responsible for both sporadic and epidemic outbreaks, leading to thousands of infections per year in several countries, and is thus considered an emerging disease in Europe and Asia...
Distribution of Cryptosporidium species and subtypes in water samples in Portug...
Alves, Margarida; Ribeiro, Ana M.; Neto, Célia; Ferreira, Elisabete; Benoliel, Maria J.; Antunes, Francisco; Matos, OlgaCryptosporidium is a significant cause of diarrhoeal disease in the general population and a major cause for morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised persons. Cryptosporidiosis is a major public health concern and the role of water in disease transmission is now well recognized. The ingestion of oocyst-contaminated drinking water has led to large outbreaks of disease, mostly in North America, the United Kin...
