Metagenomic analysis of the bacterial microbiome, resistome and virulome distin...
Salamandane, Acácio; Leech, John; Almeida, Rita; Silva, Carolina; Crispie, Fiona; Cotter, Paul D.; Malfeito-Ferreira, Manuel; Brito, LuísaThis study aimed to evaluate the microbiome, resistome and virulome of two types of Portuguese cheese using high throughput sequencing (HTS). Culture-dependent chromogenic methods were also used for certain groups/ microorganisms. Eight samples of raw ewe’s milk cheese were obtained from four producers: two producers with cheeses with a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) label and the other two producers wit...

This infection is associated with severe complications of the biliary tract, which can become a medical emergency. Treatment with oral anthelmintics is often effective, but, in some cases, surgery is required. We describe an unusual case of ultrasound diagnosis of biliary ascariasis in the gallbladder in a patient who, besides residing in a low-prevalence area of...
Conductive ink vs force sensing resistors in plantar pressure soles: WalkinSens...
Morales, Isabel; Martins, Pedro; Silva, Carolina; Marques, Arcelina; Mendes, Joaquim; Simini, FrancoWe compare plantar pressure data obtained by MyCareShoe® (nine sensors), which uses a proprietary variable resistance conductive ink with DIAPODAL (eight sensors), which utilizes standard force sensing resistors. Both sys tems are then compared to WalkinSense®, a well established pressure system that uses eight force sensing piezoresistors. Our objective is to validate the pressure measurements of DIAPODAL. The...
