Efeitos da dieta mediterrânea sobre o perfil salivar e a corrosão de dispositiv...
Tajra, Rosana; Pastorinho, Ramiro; Pereira, Marízia; Canafístula, FranciscoA interação entre dispositivos metálicos orais e o ambiente bucal é modulada por fatores como a composição salivar e os hábitos alimentares. A liberação de elementos-traço por ligas metálicas, presentes em implantes e aparelhos ortodônticos, pode desencadear processos inflamatórios e corrosão, sobretudo em condições como a periimplantite. A dieta mediterrânea, reconhecida por seu perfil anti-in...
Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary D...
Sousa, Ana; Souto-Miranda, Sara; Marques, Alda; Valente, Carla; Barros, Rafael; Taborda-Barata, Luís; Tanoue, Rumi; Kunisue, Tatsuya; Tanabe, ShinsukeThe study of indoor environmental quality as well as the development and progression of chronic respiratory diseases have received a great deal of attention in the past few years. However, most of those surveys focus on the effects of particulate matter (PM) and biological contaminants (fungi and bacteria) and evidences on the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in these pathologies are limited. He...
House dust fungal communities’ characterization: a double take on the six by si...
Amaro, Raquel; Coelho, Sónia D.; Pastorinho, Ramiro; Taborda Barata, Luis; Patto, Maria Da Assunção Vaz; Monteiro, Marisa Rodrigues; Nepomuceno, MiguelFungi are a group of microbes that are found with particular incidence in the indoor environment. Their direct toxicity or capability of generating toxic compounds has been associated with a large number of adverse health effects, such as infectious diseases and allergies. Given that in modern society people spend a large part of their time indoors; fungal communities’ characterization of this environmental com...
Toxic metals in indoor dust collected from houses included in the “6x60x6” Proj...
Pastorinho, Ramiro; Lanzinha, João; Barata, Luis Taborda; Patto, Maria Da Assunção Vaz; Monteiro, Marisa Rodrigues; Nepomuceno, MiguelWe spend more than 90 per cent of our daily lives indoors. Managing the indoor environment so that we feel comfortable and healthy is therefore very important. However, this management is only possible if rigorous data on both construction parameters and indoor environment exists. Moreover, the evolution of construction techniques and materials used modulates both aspects. As a consequence, it is necessary that...

Projeto 6.60.6 - Campanha Experimental
Monteiro, Marisa Rodrigues; Sousa, Ana Catarina Almeida; Pastorinho, Ramiro; Lanzinha, João; Nepomuceno, MiguelAtualmente as pessoas passam grande parte do seu tempo no interior das habitações. Contudo, as condições de conforto e ambiente interior de espaços habitacionais podem provocar efeitos adversos na saúde dos ocupantes. Neste âmbito, está atualmente a ser desenvolvida uma campanha experimental de medição de parâmetros de caraterização de ambientes interiores em 6 habitações representativas de 6 décadas, realizada...
Composition and trophic structure of zooplankton in a shallow temperate estuary...
Morgado, Fernando; Quintaneiro, Carla; Rodrigues, Elsa; Pastorinho, Ramiro; Nicolau, Paula Bacelar; Vieira, Luís; Azeiteiro, UlissesThe south arm of Mondego Estuary, western Portugal is characterized by shallow depths and marked longitudinal spatial gradients, namely the tidally induced salinity gradient and an eutrophication gradient. The aims of this work were to study the zooplankton composition and trophic structure of the 335 μm taxocenosis in 2 different locations of the salinity and eutrophication gradients in the south arm. The 2 sa...
Distribution, production histology and histochemistry in Acartia tonsa (Copepod...
Pastorinho, Ramiro; Vieira, Luís; Ré, Pedro; Pereira, Mário; Nicolau, Paula Bacelar; Morgado, Fernando; Marques, João C.; Azeiteiro, UlissesAcartia tonsa is a key species in the Mondego estuary and a widespread species in all temperate estuarine zooplankton communities; a fact that bestows high relevance upon the outcome of this study. One of the purposes of this study was to estimate the distribution, production and production/biomass ratio values of A. tonsa. Biomass/length relationship was estimated as follows: Y = 0.15e3.04x. Length-weight rela...
