Effects of the invasion of riparian forest by Acacia spp. trees on leaf litter ...
Ferreira, Verónica; Pereira, AnaStreams depend on riparian forests (for example, as a source of plant detritus that sustains aquatic communities), therefore, they are susceptible to changes in the species that compose them. The riparian forests in central Portugal are threatened by invasive species, including species of the Acacia genus that have characteristics distinct from those of native species. In recent years, several studies have been...
The effects of methylparaben exposure on drinking water bacteria virulence and ...
Pereira, Ana; Grenho, Liliana; Gomes, Inês; Simões, ManuelBackground: Parabens, widely used as preservatives in personal care products, pose an increased global concern due to their impact on environmental microbial communities, particularly in drinking water (DW), and potential risks to public health. Among different parabens detected in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS), methylparaben (MP) is the most prevalent at elevated concentrations, raising serious he...
Agreement Between a Wristwatch and a Free Optical Sensor with a Chest Strap in ...
Bartolomeu, Raúl Filipe; Silva, Vasco; Pereira, Ana; Morais, Gonçalo; Sokołowski, Kamil; Strzała, Marek; Morais, J. E.; Teixeira, José EduardoWearables with optical sensors for heart rate (HR) measurement are widely available in the market. However, their accuracy in water is still underexplored. The aim of the present study was to test the agreement of two different devices for HR monitoring with a chest strap while swimming at different intensities. Twenty male and ten female subjects (mean 19.6 ± 0.7 years old, 173.3 ± 5.4 cm, and 67.1 ± 6.6 kg) p...

Volume of exercise performed by heart failure inpatients undergoing cardiac reh...
Delgado, Bruno; Lopes, Ivo; Rodrigues, Fátima; Neto, Célia; Pereira, Ana; Novo, AndréHeart Failure inpatients have a significant functional dependence, impairment of performance in activities of daily living and low exercise tolerance... The amount of Exercise is directly related to its benefits and the volume of exercise performed must be adjusted to safety issues. The aim of this study is to evaluate the volume of exercise performed and it’s relation with functional capacity and find a baseli...
Southernmost record of Liparis montagui (Donovan, 1804) (Perciformes, Liparidae...
Duarte-Coelho, Pedro; Miranda, Carolina; Pereira, Ana; Vasco-Rodrigues, Nuno; Almada, FredericoIn January 2022, the presence of adult <jats:italic>Liparis montagui (Donovan, 1804) was documented at its southernmost point along the west coast of Portugal. The species was identified through both morphological and genetic barcoding analyses. This observation, part of an ongoing long-term coastal survey, suggests that L. montagui may be a transient species, influenced by complex climate and oceanic interacti...
Effects of combining shockwaves or radiofrequency with Aerobic Exercise on subc...
Marques, Leila; Neves, Joana; Pereira, Ana; Santiago, Ana; Troia, Sara; Vilarinho, Rui; Amorim, Maria Manuela; Noites, Andreia; Noites, AndreiaReducing abdominal subcutaneous fat is a common concern among women, with evidence suggesting that combining aerobic exercise with external shock waves or radiofrequency may enhance fat reduction. This study aimed to assess the effects of six sessions of external shock wave therapy or radiofrequency combined with an aerobic exercise program on abdominal subcutaneous fat and lipid mobilization, compared to the e...

Reabilitação cardíaca no doente coronário isquémico: determinação da capacidade...
Delgado, Bruno; Moreira, José; Lopes, Ivo; Pereira, Ana; Rodrigues, Fátima; Silva, LilianaIntroduction: Ischemic heart disease presents a high rate of mortality and associated disability. Determining exercise capacity is a fundamental step in planning exercise training throughout the cardiac rehabilitation program, thus allowing the reduction of the negative impact of this disease. The aim of this study is to determine the capacity for exercise after an acute ischemic event and to understand if it i...
