Scrapie at abattoir: monitoring, control, and differential diagnosis of wasting...
Esteves, Alexandra; Vieira-Pinto, Madalena; Quintas, Helder; Orge, Leonor; Gama, Adelina; Alves, Anabela; Seixas, Fernanda; Pires, IsabelWasting disease in small ruminants is frequently detected at slaughterhouses. The wasting disorder is manifested by the deterioration of the nutritional and physiological state of the animal indicated by thinness, emaciation, and cachexia. Evidence of emaciation and cachexia, alone, are pathological conditions leading to carcass condemnation during an inspection. Several diseases are associated with a wasting c...

Fecal microbiota transplantation in the intestinal decolonization of carbapenam...
Silva, João Carlos; Ponte, Ana; Mota, Margarida; Pinho, Rolando; Vieira, Nuno; Oliveira, Rosa; Mota-Carvalho, Nelson; Gomes, Ana Catarina; Afecto, EdgarBackground and aims: fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is effective for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Intestinal decolonization of carbapenamase-producing enterobacteriaceae (CPE) can prevent transmission and infection by these agents. The aim of this study was to assess CPE decolonization after FMT. Methods: this was a case-series study that consecutively included all CPE-carriers that ...
Chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells on 3D porous pol...
Moura, Carla; Silva, João Carlos; Faria, Sofia; Fernandes, Paulo Rui; Silva, Cláudia Lobato da; Cabral, Joaquim Manuel Sampaio; Linhardt, RobertCartilage defects resultant from trauma or degenerative diseases (e.g., osteoarthritis) can potentially be repaired using tissue engineering (TE) strategies combining progenitor cells, biomaterial scaffolds and bio physical/chemical cues. This work examines promoting chondrogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (BMMSCs) by combining the effects of modified poly (ε-caprolacton...
