Exploring the factor structure of criminogenic cognitions in incarcerated males...
Pereira, Teresa; Oliveira, Catarina; Basto Pereira, MiguelDespite the importance of criminogenic thinking in addressing criminal behavior, validated instruments to measure these cognitions in Portuguese forensic settings are scarce. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of the Criminogenic Cognitions Scale (CCS) in a sample of 364 Portuguese incarcerated males (Mage = 37.88, SD = 10.88). An exploratory factor analysis was con...
Examining risk and protective factors for suicidal behaviors: A cross-sectional...
Oliveira, Catarina; Basto Pereira, MiguelBackground/Objectives: Prison inmates face a significantly higher risk of acting on suicidal thoughts than the general population. However, Portuguese studies distinguishing inmates who think about suicide from those who attempt it remain scarce. Given this ideation-to-action distinction, the current cross-sectional study aimed to examine risk and protective factors for suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and ...
When the shaft breaks: managing a cath lab nightmare
Oliveira, Catarina; Azaredo Raposo, Miguel; Marques da Costa, José; Pinto, Fausto J.; Silva Marques, JoãoObjective: We describe the case of a 57-year-old male patient with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in cardiogenic shock. Coronary angiography revealed severe left main (LM) and triple-vessel disease, and the patient was refused for surgery due to lack of distal grafting landing zone. A shaft fracture occurred during LM percutaneous coronary intervention, leaving the fractured stent hanging i...
Non-invasive derivation of instantaneous free-wave ratio from invasive coronary...
Oliveira, Catarina; Vilela, Marta; Silva Marques, João; Jorge, Claudia; Rodrigues, Tiago; Francisco, Ana Rita; Oliveira, Rita Marante deInvasive coronary physiology is underused and carries risks/costs. Artificial Intelligence (AI) might enable non-invasive physiology from invasive coronary angiography (CAG), possibly outperforming humans, but has seldom been explored, especially for instantaneous wave-free Ratio (iFR). We aimed to develop binary iFR lesion classification AI models and compare them with human performance. single-center retrospe...
Sequence alignment: Comparative analysis of algorithms in KRAS genetic mutations
Pereira, Ana Rita; Lopes, Carlos; Oliveira, Catarina; Pereira, Gonçalo; Moreira, Rui; Faria, Brígida Mónica; Faria, Brigida MonicaFor this study a program was developed in Python on biological sequence alignment, considering the application of algorithms in the genetic analysis of Kristen rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS) and its main mutations associated with cancer. The KRAS gene, like other genes in the same family, is responsible for encoding proteins that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The algorithms emp...
Testis transcriptomic analyses reveal the effects of an algae feed on sperm qua...
Félix de Azeredo Pinto e Melo, Francisca; Raposo de Magalhães, Cláudia; Marrero Alemán, Carlos; Duarte, Daniel Filipe Correia; Parente, PedroThe usage of dietary algae antioxidants to improve fish reproduction is under-explored, especially in terms of the male reproductive system. In this experiment, 6 % of a blended meal of Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Gracilaria gracilis was incorporated in Senegalese sole broodstock feed, to evaluate the effects on sperm quality of F1 males throughout the breeding season. For that, two groups of breeders were fe...
The use of egg quality parameters to evaluate the effect of a diet supplemented...
Ramos Júdez, Sandra; Fatsini Fernández, Elvira; Marrero Alemán, Carlos; García-Pichel, Candela; Parente, Pedro; Medina, D.; Castro, C.; Cabrita, ElsaEnhancing egg quality can be achieved by improving breeders’ diet through the antioxidant content, as oxidative stress could adversely affect egg quality. Micro- and macroalgae species are natural sources of antioxidants and other essential nutrients that can be incorporated in fish feeds. In this study the quality of Scophthalmus maximus eggs were compared between breeders fed a commercial (non-supplemented) d...
Melatonin rhythms beyond the pineal organ: gene expression of receptors and bio...
Félix de Azeredo Pinto e Melo, Francisca; Oliveira, Catarina; Martín, Ignacio; Manchado, Manuel; Sánchez-Vázquez, Francisco J.; Vera, Luisa M.Fish gonadal melatonin production is still unexplored and could contribute to a better understanding of its role in reproduction control, especially for species with reproductive impairments. This study aimed to comprehend if Senegalese sole testes are an extra-pineal production site of melatonin and if it has seasonal and daily variations. Wild and F1 broodstocks were sampled in the breeding season (BS) and ou...
Glycopolymers to prevent beta-amyloid aggregation and related neurotoxicity
Oliveira, CatarinaDissertação de Mestrado em Engenharia Química apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia; Protein aggregation in the brains with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients hasbecome an increasingly important research focus, as it is associated with a cascade ofbiological events that worsen disease progression. One of the main markers of the diseaseis the deposition of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. C...
