Óleo vegetal de rícino como diafanizador alternativo ao xileno no processamento...
Carreira, Ana; Neves, David; Morais, David; Lugovyy, Dmytro; Proença, Hugo; Reis, Joana; Vital, Márcia; Faustino, Margarida; Garcia, MariaNa técnica histológica, a diafanização consiste na infiltração dos tecidos por um solvente da parafina, desalcolizante e miscível com etanol. O solvente mais usado é o xileno, que apresenta múltiplos riscos devido a sua toxicidade que se soma ao perigo que representa para o meio ambiente. Por estes motivos, realizou-se a pesquisa de óleos vegetais como agentes diafanizadores alternativos, tendo em consideração ...

A Deep Insight into the Sialome of Rhodnius neglectus, a vector of chagas disease
Santiago, Paula Beatriz; Assumpção, Teresa Cristina França de; Araújo, Carla Nunes de; Bastos, Izabela Marques Dourado; Neves, DavidBackground Triatomines are hematophagous insects that act as vectors of Chagas disease. Rhodnius neglectus is one of these kissing bugs found, contributing to the transmission of this American trypanosomiasis. The saliva of hematophagous arthropods contains bioactive molecules responsible for counteracting host haemostatic, inflammatory, and immuneresponses. Methods/Principal Findings Next generation sequencing...

Duration of Atrial Fibrillation Episodes and Implications for the Thromboemboli...
Neves, David; Cunha, Pedro Silva; Oliveira, MárioIntroduction: Atrial fibrillation is the most common chronic arrhythmia in clinical practice, which is associated with a well known increased thromboembolic risk. The use of oral anticoagulants in this context is well established. However, there are some gaps in information that warrant further studies, such as the duration of an atrial fibrillation event that is long enough to increase the risk of embolic phen...
The dynamics of innovation in job search strategies : some empirical findings
Araújo, Tanya; Neves, David; Banisch, SvenWe construct a database from the rst 2011 wave of the Portuguese Labor Force Survey and analyze the transitions between labor market states and job search methods during six quarters. In Portugal, the individuals who use more formal job search methods are more likely to get a stable state of employment, while informal contacts, private agencies or newspaper adverts tend to lead to a permanent state of job seeking.
