Sea Purslane as an Emerging Food Crop: Nutritional and Biological Studies
Pires, A; Agreira, S; Ressurreição, S; Marques, J; Guiné, Raquel; Barroca, M J; Silva, A MHalophyte plants are highly adapted to salt marsh ecosystems due to their physiological and ecological characteristics. Halimione portulacoides (L.) Aellen is one abundant halophyte shrub that belongs to a Chenopodiaceae family and Caryophyllales order and is found on sandy or muddy coastlines and salt marshes. In this study, the leaves of sea purslane (H. portulacoides) grown in Figueira da Foz (Portugal) were...

HIV-2 infection is associated with preserved GALT homeostasis and epithelial in...
Fernandes, S; Pires, A; Matoso, P; Ferreira, C; Nunes-Cabaço, H; Correia, L; Valadas, E; Poças, J; Pacheco, P, et al.The mechanisms that enable preservation of gut mucosal integrity during persistent viral replication and inherent inflammation remain unclear. Here, we investigated, for the first time, gut homeostasis in HIV-2 infection, a naturally occurring form of attenuated HIV disease. We found viral replication in both sigmoid and ileum of asymptomatic HIV-2+ patients (range: 240-851 circulating CD4+T-cells per μl) despi...

The Calcium/Phosphorus Homeostasis in Chronic Kidney Disease: From Clinical Epi...
Pires, A; Sobrinho, L; Ferreira, GINTRODUCTION: A simple data filtering process together with some basic concepts of control theory applied to electronically stored clinical data were used to identify some of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the perturbations of the calcium/phosphorus homeostasis in chronic kidney disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective data (a set per patient of serum single value concentrations of creatinine,...

Accidental finding of a giant right coronary artery aneurysm associated with a ...
Vaz-Silva, P; Marinho, J; Pires, ACoronary artery fistulae are uncommon but may be haemodynamically significant, being an incidental finding in 0.1-0.2% of coronary angiograms. Even rarer is the association between fistulae and non-atherosclerotic coronary artery aneurysms. They most frequently originate in the right coronary artery, and the right cardiac chambers are the most common draining chambers. Most children are asymptomatic, whereas th...
Pro-inflammatory triggers in childhood obesity: correlation between leptin, adi...
Pires, A; Martins, P; Pereira, AM; Marinho, J; Vaz Silva, P; Marques, M; Castela, E; Sena, C; Seiça, RINTRODUCTION: Pediatric obesity is increasingly prevalent in the Portuguese population. Adipocyte dysfunction results in the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators that are responsible for the low-grade inflammatory process that characterizes obesity. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between markers of adiposity, inflammation and adipokines in a Portuguese obese pediatric ...
