Cistus ladanifer metal uptake and physiological performance in biochar amended ...
Duarte, Bernardo; Pires, Vanessa; Carreiras, João; Carvalho, Ricardo Cruz de; Pereira, Manuel F.C.; Maurício, António M.; Martins-Dias, SuseteBiochar amendments are known to have a considerable influence on phytoremediation processes. Considering this, in the present work, we aimed to evaluate the effect of biochar amendments in metal-contaminated mine soils focusing on the metal uptake by Cistus ladanifer and its physiological consequences. Plants were exposed to mine soils with different biochar supplementations and the plant's physiological perfor...

Probiotic, technological, and health-related characteristics of lactobacilli is...
Pires, Vanessa; Ribeiro, Susana C.; Silva, Sofia; Juraskova, Dominika; Silva, Celia Costa GomesAims: Isolation and characterization of lactobacilli from human milk and determination of their probiotic, technological, and in vitro health promoting properties with a view to their potential use in food fermentation. Methods and Results: Seven lactobacilli isolates were obtained from human milk and identified as Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (isolates BM1–BM6) and Lactobacillus gasseri (BM7). The isolates wer...
Tomato spotted wilt virus genes expressed in antisense orientation and their ab...
Pires, Vanessa; Dandlen, Susan; Nolasco, Gustavo; Felix, Maria; Materatski, Patrick; Varanda, Carla; Marques, NataliaTomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is a member of the Tospoviridae family and is ranked among the top ten economically important viruses in the world. The genome of TSWV consists of three linear negative-sense or ambisense RNA segments, denoted as segments L, M and S. Segment S RNA encodes the silencing suppressor NSs, and the nucleocapsid protein N. Segment M RNA encodes the cell-to-cell movement protein NSm and...
Thioredoxin reductase inhibitors as potential antitumors : mercury compounds ef...
Pires, Vanessa; Bramatti, Isabella; Aschner, Michael; Branco, Vasco; Carvalho, CristinaGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and common form of glioma. GBM, like many other tumors, expresses high levels of redox proteins, such as thioredoxin (Trx) and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), allowing tumor cells to cope with high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and resist chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Thus, tackling the activity of these enzymes is a strategy to reduce cell viability...

Alão, Sílvia; Conceição, João; Dores, Jorge; Santos, Lèlita; Araújo, Francisco; Pape, Estevão; Reis, Mónica; Chipepo, Árcia; Nascimento, EditeBackground: We intended to estimate the proportion hypoglycemic/hyperglycemic emergency episodes in treated diabetes mellitus (DM) patients admitted to a hospital ward, and calculate the prevalence of risk factors for hypoglycemia and diabetic complications. Methods: In this cross-sectional, multicentered study, the observational data was collected by physicians from patient's hospitalization to discharge/death...

Evaluation of multivariate biomarker indexes application in ecotoxicity tests w...
Pires, Vanessa; Novais, Sara C.; Lemos, Marco F.L.; Fonseca, Vanessa; Duarte, BernardoWorldwide anthropogenic activities result in the production and release of potentially damaging toxic pollutants into ecosystems, thereby jeopardizing their health and continuity. Research studies and biomonitoring programs attend to this emerging problematic by applying and developing statistically relevant indexes that integrate complex biomarker response data to provide a holistic approach, reflecting toxica...
Hospitalization Costs Due to Hypoglycemia in Patients with Diabetes: A Microcos...
Ferreira, João Paulo Morais; Araújo, Francisco; Dores, Jorge; Santos, Lélita; Pape, Estevão; Reis, Mónica; Chipepo, Árcia; Nascimento, EditeIntroduction: Hypoglycemia leading to hospitalization is associated with adverse economic outcomes, although the real burden is unknown. The HIPOS-WARD (Hypoglycemia In Portugal Observational Study-Ward) aimed to characterize ward admissions due to hypoglycemia episodes in treated patients with diabetes and assess their economic impact to the National Health System. Methods: Observational, cross-sectional study...
