Influência dos fatores psicossociais relacionados com o trabalho na motivação d...

Psychosocial risks are at the origin of negative consequences for organizations and individuals. Despite the potential relationship with the level of workers' motivation, few studies have analyzed this issue in industrial settings. This study aimed to assess work-related psychosocial risk factors and determine their relationship with intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The study was developed in an industry, an...

Determinants of antimicrobial resistance among the different european countries...

Although antimicrobial consumption is considered the main driver of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), other factors probably have a significant but less studied impact. The study's goal was to assess AMR drivers across different European countries and quantify their possible contributions using the latest data available. Using the ESAC-Net (European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Consumption Network) database, the...

Neonatal Apex Resection Triggers Cardiomyocyte Proliferation, Neovascularizatio...

So far, opposing outcomes have been reported following neonatal apex resection in mice, questioning the validity of this injury model to investigate regenerative mechanisms. We performed a systematic evaluation, up to 180 days after surgery, of the pathophysiological events activated upon apex resection. In response to cardiac injury, we observed increased cardiomyocyte proliferation in remote and apex regions,...

Prevalência de hipertensão arterial em Portugal: resultados do Primeiro Inquéri...

O estudo teve como objetivo estimar a distribuição da prevalência de hipertensão, seu conhecimento (awareness), tratamento e controlo na população portuguesa em 2015. Realizou-se um inquérito nacional com uma amostra representativa de 4911 indivíduos, com idade compreendida entre 25 e 74 anos e residentes em Portugal há mais de 12 meses. O inquérito foi realizado por profissionais de saúde com treino específico...

Prevalência de hipertensão arterial em Portugal : resultados do Primeiro Inquér...

The aim of this study was to estimate the distribution of prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hyper tension in the Portuguese population in 2015. A National survey using a representative sample of 4911 individuals, living in Portugal for more than 12 months and aged between 25 and 74 years old, was implemented. Trained nurses per formed a health inter view and a physical examination, which comprised...

Novel insights into the genomic basis of citrus canker based on the genome sequ...

Background: Citrus canker is a disease that has severe economic impact on the citrus industry worldwide. There are three types of canker, called A, B, and C. The three types have different phenotypes and affect different citrus species. The causative agent for type A is Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri, whose genome sequence was made available in 2002. Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. aurantifolii strain B causes canke...

Background complexity affects response of a looming-sensitive neuron to object ...

An increasing number of studies show how stimulus complexity affects the responses of looming-sensitive neurons across multiple animal taxa. Locusts contain a well-described, descending motion-sensitive pathway that is preferentially looming sensitive. However, the lobula giant movement detector/descending contralateral movement detector (LGMD/DCMD) pathway responds to more than simple objects approaching at co...

Genotoxic endpoints in the earthworms sub-lethal assay to evaluate natural soil...

Eisenia andrei was exposed, for 56 days, to a contaminated soil from an abandoned uranium mine and to the natural reference soil LUFA 2.2. The organisms were sampled after 0, 1, 2, 7, 14 and 56 days of exposure, to assess metals bioaccumulation, coelomocytes DNA integrity and cytotoxicity. Radionuclides bioaccumulation and growth were also determined at 0 h, 14 and 56 days of exposure. Results have shown the bi...

Generating asymmetries in the early vertebrate embryo: the role of the Cerberus...

One fundamental aspect of vertebrate embryonic development is the formation of the body plan. For this process, asymmetries have to be generated during early stages of development along the three main body axes: Anterior-Posterior, Dorso-Ventral and Left-Right. We have been studying the role of a novel class of molecules,the Cerberus/Dan gene family. These are dedicated secreted antagonists of three major signa...
