Playground contamination by potentially pathogenic bacteria: a systematic review
Reis, Catarina; Antunes, Henrique; Matos, Tomás; Ribeiro, EdnaPlaygrounds are public spaces that offer recreational opportunities for hundreds of people, including children, young people, adults, and the elderly. Numerous pathogenic bacteria have been described in the literature as etiologic agents of several infections, with distinct manifestations and clinical outcomes, particularly affecting children's health. This systematic review aims to perform a scoping review of ...
Online reviews at the table : the influence of online reviews on Michelin resta...
Reis, CatarinaIn recent years, the digital landscape has profoundly influenced consumer behavior and the high-end gastronomy was no exception. Hence, understanding the dynamics of online feedback has become crucial for esteemed culinary establishments. Through a qualitative analysis of 2128 online reviews from Portugal, Spain and France, the research examines the influence of digital feedback on the perception of Michelin-st...
Superb microvascular imaging (SMI): inovação no contexto da ultrassonografia va...
Gastão, Beatriz; Rosa, Carolina; Reis, Catarina; Fernandes, FilipeIntrodução: A identificação do fluxo sanguíneo e das suas características assume uma importância crucial na avaliação vascular através de ultrassonografia. Contudo, a avaliação de vasos de pequeno calibre e/ou com velocidades reduzidas pode constituir um desafio quando utilizadas técnicas como Power Doppler e Doppler Cor. O Suberb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) é uma tecnologia desenvolvida pela empresa Toshiba, n...
Impacto da exposição ocupacional ao pó da madeira e componentes na função respi...
Rosa, Carolina; Gastão, Beatriz; Reis, Catarina; Clérigo, Anália Matos; Carolino, Elisabete; Fonseca, VirgíniaA inexistência de dados face aos ambientes laborais da indústria da madeira em Portugal incita a obtenção de dados de saúde reais. Correlação entre a exposição ocupacional e a respetiva avaliação da função respiratória. Demonstração da importância das medidas de prevenção e do controlo e diagnóstico precoce de doenças. Avaliar o impacto da exposição ocupacional ao pó da madeira e seus componentes na função resp...
O valor da informação: em busca de uma unidade de medida
Lourenço, Alexandra; Fonseca, Alexandra; Reis, Catarina; Balinha, Hélio; Ferreira, Inês; Calvão Borges, Leonor; Gonçalves, PauloA teorização sobre o valor da informação conheceu ao longo das últimas décadas diferentes abordagens e conceptualizações. No prisma da gestão da informação a reflexão é ainda incipiente e, em Portugal, quase inexistente. Atento a esta realidade, o Grupo de Trabalho de Gestão de Documentos (GT-GDA) da BAD, desde 2021, desenvolver a linha de trabalho “Valor da Informação” com o objetivo de discutir as várias corr...
Edible seaweeds extracts: characterization and functional properties for health...
Coelho, Mariana; Duarte, Ana Patrícia; Pinto, Sofia; Botelho, Hugo M.; Reis, Catarina; Serralheiro, Maria Luisa; Pacheco, RitaSeaweeds are popular foods due to claimed beneficial health effects, but for many there is a lack of scientific evidence. In this study, extracts of the edible seaweeds Arame, Nori, and Fucus are compared. Our approach intends to clarify similarities and differences in the health properties of these seaweeds, thus contributing to target potential applications for each. Additionally, although Arame and Fucus sea...
Experimental Murine Models for Colorectal Cancer Research
Neto, Íris; Rocha, Joao; Gaspar, Maria Manuela; Reis, CatarinaSimple Summary In its early stages, colorectal cancer (CRC) is a localized tumor, but when it metastasizes, it has dramatic consequences. Murine models in CRC research are important tools for advancing the knowledge in diagnostic and treatment of this pathology. The present review aims to provide a variety of murine models in CRC research describing their particular advantages and drawbacks. Abstract Colorectal...
Nanoformulation of seaweed eisenia bicyclis in albumin nanoparticles targeting ...
Pinto, Sofia; Gaspar, Maria Manuela; Ascensão, Lia; Faísca, Pedro; Reis, Catarina; Pacheco, RitaNatural products, especially those derived from seaweeds, are starting to be seen as effective against various diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This study aimed to design a novel oral formulation of bovine albumin serum nanoparticles (BSA NPs) loaded with an extract of Eisenia bicyclis and to validate its beneficial health effects, particularly targeting hypercholesterolemia and CVD prevention....
Metabolomic profile and biological properties of sea lavender (Limonium algarve...
Rodrigues, Maria João; Castañeda-Loaiza, Viana; Monteiro, Ivo; Pinela, José; Barros, Lillian; Abreu, Rui M.V.; Oliveira, Maria Conceição; Reis, CatarinaWater extracts from sea lavender (Limonium algarvense Erben) plants cultivated in greenhouse conditions and irrigated with freshwater and saline aquaculture effluents were evaluated for metabolomics by liquid chromatography-tandem high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS), and functional properties by in vitro and ex vivo methods. In vitro antioxidant methods included radical scavenging of 2,2-diphenyl-1-p...
Proof-of-Concept Study of Multifunctional Hybrid Nanoparticle System Combined w...
Lopes, Joana; Ferreira-Gonçalves, Tânia; Figueiredo, Isabel; Rodrigues, Cecília; Ferreira, Hugo; Ferreira, David; Viana, Ana; Faísca, PedroAbstract: The global impact of cancer emphasizes the importance of developing innovative, effective and minimally invasive therapies. In the context of superficial cancers, the development of a multifunctional nanoparticle-based system and its in vitro and in vivo safety and efficacy characterization are, herein, proposed as a proof-of-concept. This multifunctional system consists of gold nanoparticles coated w...
