Assessing the herbicidal potential of Rhodopirellula rubra LF2 extracts: a prom...
Silva, Miguel; Godinho, Ofélia; Lage, Olga; Melo, PaulaBackground: The increasing global population and the corresponding rise in food demand require improvements in crop yields, as well as a reduction in the impact of weeds in agricultural fields. One potential sustainable solution may lie in the ocean—an area of the Earth that remains largely unexplored, yet harbors rich and diverse biodiversity. In our group, marine microorganisms have been found to produce bioa...
Move4Future: implementation and effects of a pilot physical exercise programme ...
Mercê, Cristiana; Simões, Vera; Ramos, Liliana; Silva, Miguel; Brígida, Nancy; Vitorino, Anabela; Branco, Marco; Oliveira, Rafael; Oliveira, RafaelIntroduction and Objective: Multi-problem families include several risk factors (e.g., mental health and weight issues). Physical exercise could be a strategy to prevent, treat and overcome numerous disorders. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the effects of implementing the Move4Future pilot program, in children and adolescents, on the following variables: i) anxiety levels, ii) body composition, iii) physical...

Arterial Injuries In Lower Extremity Trauma – Outcomes Of A Single Center Study
Nunes, Celso; Lopes, Catarina; O'neill Pedrosa, João; Silva, Miguel; Orelhas, Luís; Sousa, JulianaObjectives: Femoropopliteal artery injury is a common and potentially life-threatening form of arterial injury in the lower extremities. Despite advancements in its management, there is still a considerable risk of amputation and death associated with these injuries. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis on the patients who received treatment for lower limb trauma and concomitant arterial injury at a L...
Effectiveness of statins on haemodialysis patients with concomitant peripheral ...
Nunes, Celso; Sousa, Juliana; Oliveira, Vânia; Silva, Eduardo; Baldaia, Leonor; Silva, Miguel; Orelhas, Luis; Fonseca, ManuelINTRODUCTION: The use of statins in hemodialysis patients is a topic of ongoing research and debate. Patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis constitute a large proportion of patients treated in the vascular surgery field. Clinical data of the protective statin effect on this group is scarce and conflicting results exist regarding cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and limb outcomes. METHODS: We perfor...

Deep into the proteomic network of Plasmodium falciparum's lipocalin
Baptista, Vitória Cunha; Rey-Souto, Cora; Silva, Miguel; Franco, Anahir; Freitas, Bruno; Catarino, Susana Oliveira; Vizoso-Vázquez, AngélMalaria, an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, threats half of the world's population yearly due to the parasite's ability to develop resistance to antimalarial drugs. Therefore, innovative intervention strategies, which rely on a deeper understanding of the parasite's complex biology are urgently needed. Most antimalarial drugs target the symptomatic stage of infection of the parasite that is t...
Deep into the proteomic network of hemozoin formation in the malaria parasite
Baptista, Vitória Cunha; Silva, Miguel; Freitas, Bruno; Catarino, Susana Oliveira; Vizoso-Vázquez, Angél; Veiga, Maria IsabelMalaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted to and between people by mosquitoes. Despite progress in its control, malaria still threatens half of the world’s population yearly, owing to the capacity of the parasite to develop resistance to antimalarial drugs treatment. Thus, innovative intervention measures are urgent and strictly depend on our better understanding of the parasit...

Baldaia, Leonor; F. Antunes, Luís; Silva, Miguel; Silva, Eduardo; Nunes, Celso; C. Oliveira, Vânia; Silva, Joana; Fonseca, ManuelINTRODUCTION: Blunt thoracic aortic injuries (BTAI) are defined as a tear in the thoracic aorta caused by a high energy blunt trauma with sudden deceleration and increased intravascular pressure. The most common reported mechanism of injury is motor vehicle accidents, and it can be potentially lethal. The purpose of this study was to analyze and report our center’s experience in the treatment of blunt traumatic...
ChamelIoT: a tightly- and loosely-coupled hardware-assisted OS framework for lo...
Silva, Miguel; Gomes, Tiago; Ekpanyapong, Mongkol; Tavares, Adriano; Pinto, SandroThe evergrowing Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem continues to impose new requirements and constraints on every device. At the edge, low-end devices are getting pressured by increasing workloads and stricter timing deadlines while simultaneously are desired to minimize their power consumption, form factor, and memory footprint. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) emerge as a possible solution for the increa...
