Risk of colonization with multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria among trav...
Pedro, Diogo; Santos, Daniela; Meneses, Maria; Gonçalves, Fátima; Jantarada Domingos, Gonçalo; Caneiras, CatiaGlobalization in the 21st century has posed several challenges. In particular, the spread of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains, especially Gram-negative bacteria, which are prevalent in certain regions of the world, is one of the most critical issues. This raises concerns about the risks associated with the booming tourism industry and migratory flows. In fact, even transient colonization with multidrug-res...
Extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa: clinical features and treatm...
Pedro, Diogo; Paulo, Sérgio; Mimoso Santos, Carla; Fonseca, Ana Bruschy; Cristino, José Melo; Ayres Pereira, Álvaro; Caneiras, CatiaIntroduction: Extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (XDR-PA) is a growing concern due to its increasing incidence, limited therapeutic options, limited data on the optimal treatment, and high mortality rates. The study aimed to characterize the population, the outcome and the microbiological characteristics of XDR-PA identified in a Portuguese university hospital center. Methods: All XDR-PA isolates...
Rotulagem alimentar : conhecimento de estudantes universitários: : um estudo ex...
Oliveira, Leandro; Manoel, Catarina; Ribeiro, Márcia; Pedro, Diogo; Rodrigues, Catarina Simões; Rossoni, CarinaA rotulagem alimentar é importante para que os consumidores tenham acesso a informações nutricionais precisas e que os orientem na escolha por alimentos mais saudáveis, contudo é igualmente importante a sua correta compreensão e utilização por parte dos consumidores. O objetivo este estudo é avaliar os conhecimentos dos estudantes do ensino superior sobre rotulagem e relacioná-los com fatores demográficos. Trat...
Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with monkeypox in the ...
Angelo, Kristina M.; Smith, Teresa; Camprubí-Ferrer, Daniel; Balerdi-Sarasola, Leire; Díaz Menéndez, Marta; Servera-Negre, Guillermo; Barkati, SaphaBackground: The early epidemiology of the 2022 monkeypox epidemic in non-endemic countries differs substantially from the epidemiology previously reported from endemic countries. We aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics among individuals with confirmed cases of monkeypox infection. Methods: We descriptively analysed data for patients with confirmed monkeypox who were included in the...
Genomic characterisation of a novel KPC-98-producing clinical Klebsiella pneumo...
Mendes, Gabriel; Santos, Maria Leonor; Ramalho, João Francisco; Bruschy-Fonseca, Ana; Lito, Luís; Pedro, Diogo; Duarte, Aida; Cristino, José MeloCeftazidime/avibactam (CZA) is a novel drug that inactivates Ambler class A, including Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPC), class C and class D β-lactamases, but is not active against metallo-β-lactamases (class B). Despite its limited use worldwide, emerging cases of CZA-resistant isolates producing variants of the blaKPC gene have been reported. In this study, we report a novel KPC-98 variant conferrin...
Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio: The Role of Adding a Biomarker to a Predictive ...
Pedro, Diogo; Narciso, Marco; Alves, Mariana; Passos Fonseca, TeresaIntroduction: To assess the association of neutrophil-to- -lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with post-stroke pneumonia (PSP) incidence, stroke subtype, severity, and prognosis. Material and Methods: Prospective observational study over a 42-month period in a Stroke Unit of a tertiary University Hospital. All patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) were sequentially included. NLR was obtained at admission. Patient char...

Regulation of hippocampal postnatal and adult neurogenesis by adenosine A2A rec...
Ribeiro, Filipa; Ferreira, Filipa; Rodrigues, Rui S.; Soares, Rita; Pedro, Diogo; Duarte-Samartinho, Marta; Aroeira, Rita I.; Ferreiro, ElisabeteAdenosine A2A receptor (A2A R) activation modulates several brain processes, ranging from neuronal maturation to synaptic plasticity. Most of these actions occur through the modulation of the actions of the neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). In this work, we studied the role of A2A Rs in regulating postnatal and adult neurogenesis in the rat hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). Here, we show that...
On the development of a technical specification for the use of fine recycled ag...
Bravo, Miguel; Duarte, António P. C.; De Brito, Jorge; Evangelista, Luís; Pedro, DiogoThe possibility of using recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste (CDW) in concrete is rather widely agreed upon when it comes to the use of coarse recycled aggregates. However, this is not the case when fine recycled aggregates (FRA) are considered, as it is deemed that these seriously impair the behaviour of concrete. Hence, this work presents a technical specification proposal for the use o...
Influence of the crushing process of recycled aggregates on concrete properties
Pedro, Diogo; De Brito, Jorge; Evangelista, LuisThis work intends to evaluate the (mechanical and durability) performance of concrete made with coarse recycled concrete aggregates (CRCA) obtained using two crushing processes: primary crushing (PC) and primary plus secondary crushing (PSC). This analysis intends to select the most efficient production process of recycled aggregates (RA). The RA used here resulted from precast products (P), with strength class...
