Genomic diversity and resistance profile of Mycobacterium avium clinical strain...
Rodrigues, Joana; Rodrigues, Irene; Carneiro, Sofia; Silva, Sónia; Santos, Andrea; Macedo, RitaIntroduction: In recent years, opportunistic infections with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have gained increasing importance in public health, with Mycobacterium avium being the most responsible species for the increase of human disease cases. These infections manifest mainly at the respiratory level, and disseminated infection may also occur, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Currently, the mode...
An Overview of Monkeypox Virus Detection in Different Clinical Samples and Anal...
Cordeiro, Rita; Pelerito, Ana; de Carvalho, Isabel Lopes; Lopo, Sílvia; Neves, Raquel; Rocha, Raquel; Palminha, Paula; Verdasca, NunoMpox is a zoonotic disease caused by the Monkeypox virus (MPXV), and since May 2022, tens of thousands of cases have been reported in non-endemic countries. We aimed to evaluate the suitability of different sample types for mpox diagnostic and assess the temporal dynamics of viral load. We evaluated 1914 samples from 953 laboratory-confirmed cases. The positivity rate was higher for lesion (91.3%) and rectal sw...

Genome-Scale Characterization of Mycobacterium abscessus Complex Isolates from ...
Carneiro, Sofia; Pinto, Miguel; Silva, Sónia; Santos, Andrea; Rodrigues, Irene; Santos, Daniela; Duarte, Sílvia; Vieira, Luís; Gomes, João PauloThe Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC) is an emerging, difficult to treat, multidrug-resistant nontuberculous mycobacteria responsible for a wide spectrum of infections and associated with an increasing number of cases worldwide. Dominant circulating clones (DCCs) of MABC have been genetically identified as groups of strains associated with higher prevalence, higher levels of antimicrobial resistance, and w...
Microevolution of a Mycobacteroides abscessus subsp. bolletii strain in a clini...
Santos, Andrea; Pinto, Miguel; Carneiro, Sofia; Silva, Sónia; Rodrigues, Irene; Munhá, João; Gomes, João Paulo; Macedo, RitaMycobacteroides abscessus complex (MAB), a fast-growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, is emerging as a significant infectious disease threat, due to both intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms to antibiotics and disinfectants and the need for extensive and multidrug regimens for treatment. Despite the prolonged regimens, outcomes are poor and persistence cases have been reported. Here, we describe clinica...
The Presence of China and the Chinese Diaspora in Portugal and Portuguese-Speak...
Gaspar, Sofia; Rodrigues, IreneThis book brings together works by specialists from various areas of the social sciences to reflect on the presence of China in Portugal and in Portuguese-speaking territories. From the first Chinese coolies that migrated to the former Portuguese colonies more than 100 years ago, to the current investments along the Belt and Road Initiative, we take the pulse of this historic, social, political and economic pre...
IPR
Rodrigues, Rui; Couto, Paula; Rodrigues, IreneWe describe IPR's systems developed for ASSIN2 (Evaluating Semantic Similarity and Textual Entailment). Our best submission ranked first in the Semantic Textual Similarity task and second in the Recognizing Textual Entailment task. These systems were developed using BERT, for each task we added one layer to a pre-trained Bert model and fine-tuned the whole task network.
Deciphering Latin sentences using traditional linguistic resources
Teixeira, Cláudia; Rodrigues, IreneThis article describes methods that can be used to construct a Latin morphological and syntactic parser, including resources that enable reordering the sentence according to the SVO (subject + verb + object) standard order, aiming to facilitate the translation of Latin phrases by users. The article also addresses the solutions that can be implemented to overcome some of the problems found in this context, namel...

Gestão de dados de investigação: Desafios para as bibliotecas do ensino superior
Borbinha, José; Borges, Maria Manuel; Rodrigues, Irene; Baptista, Ana Alice; Ribeiro, CristinaAs instituições de ensino superior estão diretamente ligadas à maior parte da investigação que se realiza em Portugal. Com as recentes recomendações e mandatos relativos ao acesso aberto aos dados de investigação financiada, torna-se necessário definir processos, soluções e responsabilidades, articulando instituições, grupos de investigação, infraestruturas disciplinares e financiadores. Pelos progressos que se...
