Seabra, Paulo; Boska, Gabriella; Sequeira, Rui; Sequeira, Ana; Simões, Ana; Nunes, Inês; Sequeira, CarlosStructured intervention programs are an important resource for supporting people with substance addiction. Although evidence suggests that they improve health outcomes, such as specifc symptoms, less is known about their impact on patients’ ability to self-manage the consequences of substance addiction. The aim of this review is to scope outpatient intervention programs focused on the self-management of substan...
ProPythia: a python package for protein classification based on machine and dee...
Sequeira, Ana; Lousa, Diana; Rocha, MiguelThe field of protein data mining has been growing rapidly in the last years. To characterize proteins and determine their function from their amino acid sequences are challenging and long-standing problems, where Bioinformatics and Machine Learning have an emergent role. A myriad of machine and deep learning algorithms have been applied in these tasks with exciting results. However, tools and platforms to calcu...
Propythia: a Python automated platform for the classification of proteins using...
Sequeira, Ana; Lousa, Diana; Rocha, MiguelA challenging problem in Bioinformatics is to predict protein structure, properties, activities or interactions from their aminoacid sequences. Sequence-derived physicochemical features of proteins have been used to support the development of Machine Learning (ML) models. However, tools and platforms to calculate features from protein sequences and train ML models are scarce and have limitations in terms of per...
ViralFP: a web application of viral fusion proteins
Moreira, Pedro; Sequeira, Ana; Pereira, S.; Rodrigues, Rúben André Costa; Rocha, Miguel; Lousa, DianaViral fusion proteins are attached to the membrane of enveloped viruses (a group that includes Coronaviruses, Dengue, HIV and Influenza) and catalyze fusion between the viral and host membranes, enabling the virus to insert its genetic material into the host cell. Given the importance of these biomolecules, this work presents a centralized database containing the most relevant information on viral fusion protei...

Vestida de vermelho – um caso de reação medicamentosa
Melo, Cláudia; Almeida, Filipa; Lopes, Susana; Teixeira, Paulo; Barbosa, Célia; Sequeira, Ana; Miguel, CristinaIntrodução: As reações de hipersensibilidade a fármacos podem limitar-se a um exantema cutâneo não específico, ou manifestar-se por um síndrome multissistémico, com prognóstico muito variável, como é o caso do síndrome DRESS (Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms). Caso clínico: Os autores apresentam o caso clínico de uma menina admitida no Serviço de Urgência por um síndrome febril prolongado a...
