Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a condition characterized by increased LDL cholesterol levels with APOB variants accounting for about 5-10% of FH cases. However, variants in this gene may be more common than initially estimated since the entire APOB gene has only recently started to be sequenced. Although most of the alterations are missense, nonsense variants and small indels in exon 29 were also identif...
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited condition of lipid metabolism characterized by increased levels of LDL cholesterol, and APOB variants are responsible for 5%-10% of FH cases. The majority of APOB variants are missense, but nonsense variants and small indels in exon 29 were also identified in individuals with FH phenotype and can be the cause of disease. The aim of this project was to study fun...

The polychaetes of the order Phyllodocida (excluding Nereidiformia and Phyllodociformia incertae sedis) collected from deep-sea habitats of the Iberian margin (Bay of Biscay, Horseshoe continental rise, Gulf of Cadiz and Alboran Sea), and Atlantic seamounts (Gorringe Bank, Atlantis and Nameless) are reported herein. Thirty-six species belonging to seven families – Acoetidae, Pholoidae, Polynoidae, Sigalionidae,...

O presente estudo visa estudar uma versão Portuguesa da Mini Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale (Mini-MAC) tentanto manter a estrutura original da escala. Participaram 60 doentes com diagnóstico de cancro, 30 com cancro da mama (idade M=51,1 anos) e 30 com cancro cólo-rectal, 53,3% homens (idade M=53,33 anos). Discute-se o conceito de Coping e Ajustamento Mental subjacente à escala e estudou-se a sua relação com...
