Amorim, Diana; Monteiro, Sara; Louro, André; Silva, Isabel S.; Oliveira, Ana F.; Bártolo, AnaBackground: Cancer represents a significant challenge not only for patients but also for their informal caregivers—family members or close friends who provide unpaid, ongoing support. These individuals often assume essential caregiving roles without formal training or adequate support, leading to high levels of distress and caregiver burden. This can affect both their well-being and the quality of care provided...
Perceived cognitive functioning in breast cancer patients treated with chemothe...
Oliveira, Ana F.; Torres, Ana; Teixeira, Ricardo J.; Monteiro, Sara; Pereira, Anabela; Santos, Isabel M.Aim: Cognitive concerns are one of the most frequently reported symptoms by breast cancer survivors. This study aimed to evaluate perceived cognitive functioning in Portuguese women with breast cancer treated with chemotherapy. Methods: A cross-sectional study enrolling 146 women (73 with breast cancer and 73 healthy) was conducted from August to October 2017, invited to participate through online dissemination...
CanCOG®: cultural adaptation of the evidence-based UCLA cognitive rehabilitatio...
Oliveira, Ana F.; Sosa-Napolskij, Milaydis; Torres, Ana; Queiroz, Diâner Felipe; Bártolo, Ana; Sousa, Helena; Monteiro, Sara; Van Dyk, KathleenCognitive difficulties are highly prevalent and negatively impact cancer survivors' quality of life. The UCLA Cognitive Rehabilitation Intervention Program (in short, UCLA program) is an evidence-based intervention developed and tested in the US to address the cognitive complaints of cancer survivors. Since there are no cognitive rehabilitation programs available for Portuguese cancer-related settings, this stu...

An improved Ras sensor for highly sensitive and quantitative FRET-FLIM imaging
Oliveira, Ana F.; Yasuda, RyoheiRas is a signaling protein involved in a variety of cellular processes. Hence, studying Ras signaling with high spatiotemporal resolution is crucial to understanding the roles of Ras in many important cellular functions. Previously, fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) of fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based Ras activity sensors, FRas and FRas-F, have been demonstrated to be useful for measuring t...
