Stroke due to Percheron artery occlusion: description of a consecutive case ser...
Reis, Diana; Cerullo, Giovanni; Florêncio, André; Frias, Catarina; Aleluia, Leonor; Drago, José; Nzwalo, Hipólito; Fidalgo, Ana P.The artery of Percheron (AOP) is an abnormal variant of the arterial supply of the thalamus. Stroke caused by AOP occlusion is seldom reported. AOP leads to bilateral thalamic and rostral midbrain infarct presenting with unspecific manifestations. There are few descriptions of case series of stroke caused by AOP. We sought to review the clinicoradiological characteristics of AOP infarction from Algarve, Souther...
Four-dimensional (bio-)printing: A review on stimuli-responsive mechanisms and ...
Morouço, Pedro; Azimi, Bahared; Milazzo, Mario; Mokhtari, Fatemeh; Fernandes, Cristiana; Reis, Diana; Danti, SerenaThe applications of tissue engineered constructs have witnessed great advances in the last few years, as advanced fabrication techniques have enabled promising approaches to develop structures and devices for biomedical uses. (Bio-)printing, including both plain material and cell/material printing, o ers remarkable advantages and versatility to produce multilateral and cell-laden tissue constructs; however, it ...
The syllable in the relation to writing: branching onsets in the writing of chi...
Pampim, Moisés; Reis, Diana; Mendonça, Cristiana; Fernandes, IolandaThe syllable is a unit of the phonological system of human languages that has been the subject of numerous studies in language and language acquisition. Using longitudinal data from the online corpus EFFE-On, this article focuses on the evaluation of children's written performance with respect to the order of acquisition of the syllable structure, in particular the analysis of branching Onsets (obstruent+liquid...
Preliminary results on light conditions manipulation in Octopus vulgaris (Cuvie...
Garrido, Diego; Reis, Diana; Orol, Diego; Gonçalves, Rui A.; Martín, M.; Sykes, António V.; Rodríguez, Covadonga; Felipe, Beatriz; Zheng, XiaodongHigh paralarvae mortality is a major bottleneck currently hindering the control over the lifecycle of common octopus (Octopus vulgaris Cuvier, 1797). It is believed that this problem might be related to either zoo-technical and/or nutritional aspects. The present paper is focused on the study of different zoo-technical aspects related to light conditions on the rearing of paralarvae, including the effects of po...
Comparative study on fatty acid metabolism of early stages of two crustacean sp...
Reis, Diana; Acosta, Nieves G.; Almansa, Eduardo; Navarro, Juan C.; Tocher, Douglas R.; Andrade, José Pedro; Sykes, António V.; Rodríguez, CovadongaThe present study compared the lipid composition and in vivo capability of Artemia sp. metanauplii (the main live prey used in aquaculture) and Grapsus adscensionis zoeae (as a wild zooplankton model) to metabolise unsaturated fatty acids. The two species were incubated in vivo with 0.3μM of individual [1-14C]fatty acids (FA) including 18:1n-9, 18:2n-6, 18:3n-3, 20:4n-6 (ARA), 20:5n-3 (EPA) and 22:6n-3 (DHA) bo...
Composition and metabolism of phospholipids in Octopus vulgaris and Sepia offic...
Reis, Diana; Acosta, Nieves G.; Almansa, Eduardo; Tocher, Douglas R.; Andrade, Jose; Sykes, António; Rodriguez, CovadongaThe objective of the present study was to characterise the fatty acid (FA) profiles of the major phospholipids, of Octopus vulgaris and Sepia officinalis hatchlings, namely phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE); and to evaluate the capability of both cephalopod species on dietary phospholipid remodelling. Thus, O. vulgaris and S. officinal...
In vivo metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids in Sepia officinalis hatchlings
Reis, Diana; Rodriguez, C.; Acosta, N. G.; Almansa, E.; Tocher, D. R.; Andrade, José Pedro; Sykes, António V.The transition of Sepia officinalis culture to industrial large scale has been hampered due to bottlenecks related to the limited knowledge on nutritional physiology of the species. Determination of the endogenous ability of S. officinalis hatchlings to metabolise unsaturated fatty acids (FA) may provide new insight on the capability of hatchlings to biosynthesise different FA, as well as lipid classes containi...
Meta-analysis approach to the effects of live prey on the growth of octopus vul...
Garrido, Diego; Martín, Virginia M.; Rodríguez, Covadonga; Iglesias, José; Navarro, Juan C.; Reis, Diana; Riera, Rodrigo; Sykes, António V.The common octopus (Octopus vulgaris, Cuvier 1797) is a species with increasing interest for marine aquaculture diversification, given its high growth rate and easy adaptation to captivity, among other positive features (Iglesias et al. 2007, 2014a). However, the massive paralarvae mortalities verified under culture conditions ( 100% in most studies) have hampered its commercial production, therefore making thi...
An insight on Octopus vulgaris paralarvae lipid requirements under rearing cond...
Reis, Diana; García-Herrero, I.; Riera, R.; Felipe, B. C.; Rodríguez, C.; Sykes, António V.; Martín, M. V.; Andrade, José Pedro; Almansa, E.In this study, two new alternative preys: Grapsus adscensionis zoeae (as sole prey) and Palaemon elegans zoeae (in cofeeding with Artemia sp.), as well as, Artemia sp. juveniles were used as feed for octopus paralarvae, as a way to understand its lipid requirements. Total lipid (TL) content, lipid class (LC) and fatty acid (FA) profiles of preys, octopus hatchlings and 9-day-old paralarvae were analysed. Growth...
In vivo metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids in Octopus vulgaris hatchlings de...
Reis, Diana; Acosta, N. G.; Almansa, E.; Navarro, J. C.; Tocher, D. R.; Monroig, O.; Andrade, José Pedro; Sykes, António V.; Rodríguez, C.The highmortalities observed during Octopus vulgaris paralarvae culture have been associated with a nutritional imbalance, with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) appearing to have a critical role. In order to determine the in vivo capability of O. vulgaris hatchlings to incorporate and metabolise unsaturated fatty acids (FA), hatchlings were incubated in flat-bottom 6-well tissue culture plates a...
