Effect of three cooking methods on cooking loss and edible weight of rabbit meat
Gonçalves, C; Silva-Santos, T; Ferreira, L; Santos, I; Silva, M; Nunes, P; Teixeira, J; Monteiro, D; Pinheiro, VIntroduction: Mediterranean diet features gastronomic heritage that includes rabbit dishes. Some food composition tables present scant information regarding the yield and edible parts of rabbit meat. Objectives: This study seeks to investigate how various cooking techniques impact the cooking loss and edible weight of different cuts of rabbit meat. Methodology: Six male rabbits were slaughtered and the carcasse...
The Impact of Sleep on Haematological Parameters in Firefighters
Alves, S; Silva, F; Esteves, F; Costa, S; Slezakova, K; Alves, M; Pereira, M; Teixeira, J; Morais, S; Fernandes, A; Queiroga, F; Vaz, JSleep is a vital process that impacts biological functions such as cell renewal, bone regeneration, and immune system support. Disrupted sleep can interrupt erythropoiesis, leading to fewer red blood cells, reduced haemoglobin concentration, and decreased haematocrit levels, potentially contributing to haematological disorders. This is particularly concerning for shift workers for example firefighters. While pr...
Complete blood count parameters as biomarkers of retinopathy of prematurity: a ...
Fevereiro-Martins, M; Santos, AC; Marques-Neves, C; Guimarães, H; Bicho, M; Afonso, C; Ferreira, J; Espírito Santo, R; Teixeira, F; Rosa, RPurpose: To evaluate complete blood count (CBC) parameters in the first week of life as predictive biomarkers for the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Methods: Multicenter, prospective, observational study of a cohort of preterm infants born with gestational age (GA) < 32 weeks or birth weight < 1500 g in eight Portuguese neonatal intensive care units. All demographic, clinical, and laboratory d...
INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR CONSTRUCTION 4.0: CLASSIFICATION OF CONTENTS FOR INTEGR...
Ribeiro, Y; Teixeira, J; Pedro Mêda; Moreira, J; Sousa, R; Hipólito SousaProNIC is a pioneering platform for standardization and management of construction information in Portugal that is currently being updated. Integration between BIM models and the generation of the Bill of Quantities (BoQ) is challenging (construction objects view vs. construction works view), and proper structuring of information is essential to support it. In this paper, the analysis and classification of the ...
Legacy practices supporting BIM adoption in Portugal Reflections from a large u...
Pedro Mêda; Teixeira, J; Calvetti, D; Ribeiro, Y; Moreira, J; Sousa, H; Hipólito SousaBuilding Information Modelling is being increasingly adopted by countries and it is recognized that its implementation demands changes, supplementary effort from stakeholders and alignment with existing practices. Countries that are behind can benefit from the trajectory made by others. Quick-wins can be achieved taking advantage of the existing documentation as well as legacy practices relevant for BIM adoptio...
Valorization of Ellagic Acid from Chestnut Shell as a Natural Anti-anxiety Food...
Neto, JV; Batista, CA; Franco, BM; Dinis, S; Teixeira, J; Manrique, Y.A.Mental health is on the agenda, especially in pandemic times due to the COVID-19 virus. Nowadays, psychological problems, such as anxiety and depression, have been more discussed and have become even more critical during lockdown. This paper proposes the development process of an innovative product whose active ingredient-ellagic acid, extracted from the chestnut shell-has anxiolytic properties and can be poten...
Aortic Prosthesis-Associated MDR Pseudomonas Infections as a Diagnostic and The...
Filipe, R; Ceia, F; Carvalho, AC; Tavares, MF; Teixeira, J; Sarmento, AEndovascular prostheses are used to treat life-threatening conditions such as ruptured aortic aneurysms. Prosthetic infection cause significant morbidity and mortality, posing important diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. It is particularly difficult to diagnose and, in the era of multidrug resistance (MDR), these type of infections may become even more difficult to treat. Herein, we reported a case of a sec...
Persuasive antimicrobial stewardship intervention in the context of a KPC outbr...
Rocha-Pereira, N; Figueiredo Dias, P; Correia, S; Shahriari, S; Neves, J; Teixeira, J; Paiva, JA; Lima Alves, C; Azevedo, AIntroduction. Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health threat. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is one of the key strategies to overcome resistance, but robust evidence on the effect of specific interventions is lacking. We report an interrupted time series (ITS) analysis of a persuasive AMS intervention implemented during a KPC producing Klebsiella pneumoniae outbreak. Methods. A controlled ITS for car...
A Conserved Notochord Enhancer Controls Pancreas Development in Vertebrates
Amorim, JP; Gali-Macedo, A; Marcelino, H; Bordeira-Carriço, R; Naranjo, S; Rivero-Gil, S; Teixeira, J; Galhardo, M; Marques, JF; Bessa, JThe notochord is an evolutionary novelty in vertebrates that functions as an important signaling center during development. Notochord ablation in chicken has demonstrated that it is crucial for pancreas development; however, the molecular mechanism has not been fully described. Here, we show that in zebrafish, the loss of function of nog2, a Bmp antagonist expressed in the notochord, impairs ß cell differentiat...
Endovascular Approach Versus Aortobifemoral Bypass Grafting: Outcomes in Extens...
Rocha-Neves, J; Ferreira, A; Sousa, J; Pereira-Neves, A; Vidoedo J; Alves, H; Teixeira, J; Azevedo, AObjective: Compare technical, clinical, and economic outcomes between endovascular and open approaches in patients with type D aortoiliac occlusive disease according to the TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus. Methods: Patients undergoing revascularization for type D aortoiliac lesions, either endovascular or open surgery approach, from 2 Portuguese institutions between January 2011 and October 2017 were incl...
