No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2014-01-01; Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES); The aim of this study was to investigate if the infrared laser irradiation can prevent or minimize delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Eight healthy male were divided in two groups: laser group and sham laser group. All volunteers we...

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis: antigen diversity and disease implications
Nogueira, R.; Melo, N.; Bastos, Hélder Novais; Martins, N.; Delgado, L.; Morais, A.; Mota, P. C.Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune-mediated syndrome triggered by inhalation of a wide variety of allergens, to which an individual has previously been sensitized. More than 200 agents responsible for the disease have already been identified; however, HP occurs only in a small number of individuals exposed to causal antigens. The present report provides an overview of the role of antigen role in HP,...

Macroscopic and histopathological study of the placenta: an essential resource ...
Nogueira, R.; Pinto-Ribeiro, Filipa; Pereira, S. M.; Valente, F.The pathological study of the placenta is of upmost importance in cases of unexplained fetal/perinatal loss and often these carry litigation implications. Integrating pathological findings and the underlying pathophysiological processes, leading to placental lesions, is fundamental for the evaluation of poor fetal and perinatal outcomes and to distinguish from cases of true negligence.
Assessing the performance of a plastic optical fibre turbidity sensor for measu...
Keizer, J. J.; Martins, M. A. S.; Prats, S. A.; Santos, L. F.; Vieira, D. C. S.; Nogueira, R.; Bilro, L.This study is the first comprehensive testing of a novel plastic optical fibre turbidity sensor with runoff samples collected in the field and, more specifically, with a total of 158 streamflow samples and 925 overland flow samples from a recently burnt forest area in north-central Portugal, collected mainly during the first year after the wildfire, as well as with 56 overland flow samples from a nearby long-un...
Doença Hemolítica Perinatal — Caso Clínico
Gonçalves, S.; Schimt, D.; Garcia, S.; Soares, P.; Nogueira, R.; Lima, L.; Alexandrino, A. M.A doença hemolítica perinatal resulta da passagem placentária de anticorpos do tipo IgG contra antigénios eritrocitários fetais, dando origem a hemólise. A incompatibilidade Rh(D) é a responsável por cerca de 94% casos. As incompatibilidades por antigénios atípicos (anti-c, anti-Kell) apesar de raras, dão origem a quadros graves. Os autores apresentam um caso clínico de isoimunização anti-c num prematuro, I° fi...
Phosphorus removal by a fixed-bed hybrid polymer nanocomposite biofilm reactor
Oliveira, M.; Rodrigues, A. L.; Ribeiro, D. C.; Brito, A. G.; Nogueira, R.; Machado, A. V.Eutrophication is one of the main challenges regarding the ecological quality of surface waters, phosphorus bioavailability being its main driver. In this context, a novel hybrid polymer nanocomposite (HPN-Pr) biofilm reactor aimed at integrated chemical phosphorus adsorption and biological removal was conceived. The assays pointed to removal of 1.2 mg P/g of reactive phosphorus and 1.01 mg P/g of total phospho...
Mineral cycling and pH gradient related with biological activity under transien...
Ribeiro, Daniel; Martins, Gilberto; Nogueira, R.; Brito, A. G.Phosphorus (P) mobility from the sediments to the water column is a complex phenomenon that is generally assumed to be mainly redox sensitive and promoted by anoxic conditions. Thus, artificial aeration of the hypolimnium has been used as a remediation technique in eutrophic water bodies but several times with unexpected disappointing results. To optimize lake restoration strategies, the aim of the present stud...
A poly-caprolactone based biofilm carrier for nitrate removal from water
Rodrigues, A. L.; Machado, A. V.; Nóbrega, J. M.; Albuquerque, A.; Brito, A. G.; Nogueira, R.Nitrate removal from water has been accomplished by heterotrophic biofilms using organic carbon as a source of reducing power. To overcome the natural limitation in organic carbon in water, a poly--caprolactone based biofilm carrier that serves simultaneously as a biofilm carrier and as a source of organic carbon was developed and tested in the present work. The feasibility of the new biofilm carrier for nitrat...
