Locally-sourced animal protein hydrolysates in high-plant-protein diets can pro...
Rodrigues-dos-Santos, Luciano; Basto, Ana; Monteiro, Marta; António, Carla; Rodrigues, Ana M.; Sá, Tiago; Velasco, Cristina; Martins, Rui; Rosa, AnaUpcycling meat and fish by-products into bioactive protein hydrolysates promotes zero-waste practices within the circular bioeconomy and provides locally-sourced alternatives to replace fishmeal (FM) in aquafeeds. In this study, novel hydrolysates were developed from blue shark skin, fish by-products, and swine processed animal protein, aiming to reduce the high-quality FM inclusion in European seabass (Dicentr...
Usability and utility of a mobile app to deliver health-related content to an o...
Lemos, Marta; Henriques, Ana Rita; Lopes, David Gil; Mendonça, Nuno; Victorino, André; Costa, Andreia; Arriaga, Miguel; Gregório, Maria JoãoBackground: Digital patient-centered interventions may be important tools for improving and promoting social interaction, health, and well-being among older adults. In this regard, we developed a mobile app called DigiAdherence for an older adult population, which consisted of easy-to-access short videos and messages, to improve health-related knowledge among them and prevent common health conditions, such as f...
Deciphering neuroimmune interactions in alcohol intake in mouse model of interm...
Pacheco, Raquel; Canedo, Teresa; Rodrigues, Ana M.; Moreira, Joana; Relvas, João B.; Socodato, Renato; Summavielle, Teresa; Summavielle, TeresaExcessive alcohol consumption continues to pose a significant global health challenge, with detrimental effects on millions of individuals. Our laboratory has shown that alcohol exposure triggers reactive changes in astrocytes, including alterations in gene expression, activity, and proliferation, while also affecting microglial morphology and immune responses. We are to characterizing the effects of chronic al...

Anxiety and depression in patients with giant cell arteritis
Martinho, Joana Martins; Ponte, André; Dourado, Eduardo; Khmelinskii, Nikita; Barreira, Sofia C.; Machado, Ana R. Cruz; Macieira, Carla; Teixeira, VítorObjectives To compare the prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients with GCA with that in the general population, using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and to identify independent predictors of these psychiatric manifestations in patients with GCA.Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study including all patients diagnosed with GCA followed during 1 year in a vasculitis outpatient clin...
Professional situation of prosthetic and orthotics recent graduates in ESTeSL 2...
Silva, Salomé L.; Rodrigues, Ana M.; Ferreira, Fani P.; Pacheco, Samanta A.; Matos, José PedroIntroduction – Nowadays the high unemployment rate and the emigration of the young graduated population is the reason why this population has been insecure about their career and professional future in their home country. In some way, the existence of a reflexive analysis of their actual professional situation could clarify the future for students and recently-graduated in prosthetics and orthotics area. Object...
Increased short-term risk of cardiovascular events in inflammatory rheumatic di...
Da Silva Domingues, Vital; Rodrigues, Ana M.; Dias, Sara Simões; Delgado, Luís; Barkoudah, Ebrahim; Branco, J; Canhao, HCardiovascular diseases represent the frst cause of death globally. Infammatory rheumatic disease (IRMD) patients, due to their lifelong infammatory status, are at increased risk of developing premature cardiovascular disease. We aimed to assess the risk for cardiovascular events (CVE) in a population-based study. We followed 10,153 adults from the EpiDoC Cohort, a large Portuguese population-based prospective ...
Primary Metabolite Adjustments Associated With Pinewood Nematode Resistance in ...
Rodrigues, Ana M.; Carrasquinho, Isabel; António, CarlaThe pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is the causal agent of the pine wilt disease (PWD) and represents one of the major threats to conifer forests. The detection of the PWN in Portugal, associated with Pinus pinaster, increased the concern of its spread to European forests. Despite its susceptibility to PWD, genetic variability found among P. pinaster populations has been associated with herit...
Pinus pinaster early hormonal defence responses to pinewood nematode (Bursaphel...
Rodrigues, Ana M.; Langer, Swen; Carrasquinho, Isabel; Bergstrom, Ed; Larson, Tony; Thomas-Oates, Jane; António, CarlaThe pinewood nematode (PWN) is the causal agent of pine wilt disease, a pathology that affects conifer forests, mainly Pinus spp. PWN infection can induce the expression of phytohormonerelated genes; however, changes at the early phytohormone level have not yet been explored. Phytohormones are low-abundance metabolites, and thus, difficult to quantify. Moreover, most methodologies focus mainly on Arabidopsis or...
