Evaluating the effectiveness of nanotechnology in environmental remediation of ...
Fonseca, Rita; Araújo, Joana; Pinho, Ana Catarina; Albuquerque, M.T.D.A column experiment at a laboratory level was carried out to assess the effect of the application of nanotechnology in the decontamination of soils and alluvial deposits with high levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs). A suspension of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) was injected at three different concentrations in selected samples (two sediments, one soil). For most of the elements, the retention b...
Environmental factors and metal mobilisation in alluvial sediments: Minas Gerai...
Fonseca, Rita; Pinho, Ana Catarina; Albuquerque, M.T.D.; Araújo, JoanaIn areas contaminated by potentially toxic elements (PTEs), knowledge of processes of metal mobilisation is the basis for the choice of appropriate remediation methodologies. The mobilisation of metals is a function of several factors, and the response to these factors must be well known during the planning of remediation strategies. The activity of an ore metallurgical plant in South‐East Brazil resulted in ma...

Pinto, Alexandra Guedes; Pinho, Ana Catarina; Teixeira, Joana FilipaThe present study analyzes the political manifesto publicly presented by one of the ten candidates to the Portuguese presidential elections of January 2016. The objective of the study is, through the framework of analysis proposed by Adam (2001) for the description of the textual genres in eight components (semantic, compositional, enunciative, pragmatic, stylistic-phraseological, metatextual, peritextual and m...
Are Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Caregivers at Higher Risk for Health Problems?
Pinho, Ana Catarina; Gonçalves, EdnaIntroduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a rare neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. Patients present with progressive physical impairment, respiratory failure being the main cause of death. A significant portion of patients presents neurobehavioral problems as well. As severe impairment occurs, patients become highly dependent and in general, their families assume the role of primary caregi...
New perspectives on the conservative management of osteoradionecrosis of the ma...
Costa, Diogo Alpuim; Costa, Tiago Porfírio; Netto, Eduardo Carlinhos; Joaquim, Natércia; Ventura, Isabel; Pratas, Ana Cristina; Winckler, PatriciaOver the last decades, several therapeutic options were considered in the treatment of the osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible, including supportive measures, ultrasound therapy, corticosteroids, hyperbaric oxygen, surgical resection with reconstruction, and, more recently, drugs capable of reversing the fibroatrophic process. Once established, the ORN does not spontaneously disappear and a standard treatm...
Leg ulcer: conservative treatment.
Fradique, Caldeira; Pupo, Alexandra; Quaresma, Luísa; Palma-Rosa, Ana; Fernandes, Mário; Silva, Gualdino; Almeida, Heitor; Diogo, CláudiaDuring 16 years 202 patients with leg ulcer have been studied prospectively. Whenever possible, cure has been obtained in ambulatory, which was the main objective. Surgery was preferentially made after the cure of the ulcer. From the 202 patients, 166 have made a prolonged follow-up. Cure in ambulatory has been obtained in 91% of the patients. We stress the importance of the direct control of all the treatment ...
