Dectin-1-Mediated Production of Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines Induced by Yeast β-G...
Pedro, ARV; Lima, T; Fróis-Martins, R; Leal, B; Ramos, IC; Martins, EG; Cabrita, ARJ; Fonseca, AJM; Maia, MRG; Vilanova, M; Correia, AYeast-derived products containing β-glucans have long been used as feed supplements in domesticated animals in an attempt to increase immunity. β-glucans are mainly recognized by the cell surface receptor CLEC7A, also designated Dectin-1. Although the immune mechanisms elicited through Dectin-1 activation have been studied in detail in mice and humans, they are poorly understood in other species. Here, we evalu...
Application of different Scheimpflug-based lens densitometry methods in phacody...
Faria-Correia, F; Lopes, BT; Ramos, IC; Monteiro, T; Franqueira, N; Ambrósio, RPURPOSE: To evaluate the correlations between preoperative Scheimpflug-based lens densitometry metrics and phacodynamics. METHODS: The Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) was used to grade nuclear opalescence (NO), along with different methods of lens densitometry evaluation (absolute scale from 0% to 100%): three-dimensional (3D), linear, and region of interest (ROI) modes. Cumulative dissipate...
