Stress-induced protein disaggregation in the endoplasmic reticulum catalysed by...

Protein synthesis is supported by cellular machineries that ensure polypeptides fold to their native conformation, whilst eliminating misfolded, aggregation prone species. Protein aggregation underlies pathologies including neurodegeneration. Aggregates' formation is antagonised by molecular chaperones, with cytoplasmic machinery resolving insoluble protein aggregates. However, it is unknown whether an analogou...

Association Between Preexisting Versus Newly Identified Atrial Fibrillation and...

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) may exist before or occur early in the course of pulmonary embolism (PE). We determined the PE outcomes based on the presence and timing of AF. Methods and Results Using the data from a multicenter PE registry, we identified 3 groups: (1) those with preexisting AF, (2) patients with new AF within 2 days from acute PE (incident AF), and (3) patients without AF. We assessed the...

Prevalence of overweight and obesity among Portuguese children (6-8 years old) ...

Introduction: Previous studies places Portugal among the five countries with the highest prevalence of childhood obesity in Europe. This paper describes the prevalence of thinness, overweight and obesity in Portuguese children of 6-8 years of age, based on the first data collection from COSI Portugal, which took place during the 2007/2008 school year. Methods: Semi-longitudinal design with repeated cross-sectio...

Just4me: functional requirements to support informal self-directed learning in ...

The aim of this paper is to present the results of the first phase of a project called Just4me. The project proposes the design, and development and pilot test of a technological platform that supports a ubiquitous personal learning environment (PLE) designed for lifelong learners across different professional, social and training contexts. In this paper, we define functional requirements that might support inf...

Effect of maternal restricted diet during late gestation on muscle and bone dev...

Changes in intrauterine environment, including nutrient availability, have been associated with fetal programming, contributing to different phenotypes which may determine health and susceptibility to disease throughout life. These changes seem to be mediated through alterations in both anabolic and catabolic hormone levels of maternal, placental and/or fetal origin. The present work aimed to evaluate how mater...
