Chicken feather keratin peptides for the control of keratinocyte migration
Botelho, CM; Ferreira-Santos, P; Toubarro, D; Dinis, H; Osorio, H; Costa-Barbosa, A; Sampaio, P; Simões, N; Teixeira, JAFAO estimates that in 2030 the poultry meat production could reach 120 million tons, which is a challenge in terms of waste management. Feathers are mainly composed of keratin, an important biomaterial. Using feathers as a source of keratin will minimize the waste generated, while contributing to supply an important material for several industries, such as pharmaceutical and biomedical. The peptides were extrac...
Daily Intake of Wheat Germ-Enriched Bread May Promote a Healthy Gut Bacterial M...
Moreira-Rosário, A; Marques, C; Pinheiro, H; Norberto, S; Sintra, D; Teixeira, JA; Calhau, C; Azevedo, LFPurpose: Wheat bran fibre has a beneficial effect on gastrointestinal function, but evidence for wheat germ is scarce. Accordingly, we evaluated the effects of daily intake of wheat germ on gastrointestinal discomfort and gut microbiota by adding wheat germ to refined (white) wheat bread, the most consumed bread type. We hypothesised that an improvement in the composition of refined bread could beneficially aff...
Does Intake of Bread Supplemented with Wheat Germ Have a Preventive Role on Car...
Moreira-Rosário, A; Pinheiro, H; Marques, C; Teixeira, JA; Calhau, C; Azevedo, LFOBJECTIVE: Intake of whole grains is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This evidence is also strong for bran alone, but findings about germ are conflicting. Our aim was to elucidate the role of germ in primary prevention of cardiovascular events, and therefore, a staple food was selected for 6 g of germ supplementation. This corresponds to sixfold increase in the global mean consum...
Metabolic Profile and Cardiovascular Risk in a Population of Renal transplant r...
Gonçalves, M; Vieira, P; Resende, L; Durães, J; Rosa, N; Teixeira, JA; Silva, GIntroduction. Cardiovascular disease is more common in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) than in the general population, and is the major cause of both graft loss and patient death in RTRs. Objectives. This study aimed to characterize the cardiovascular risk factors, calculate the 7-year risk for major adverse cardiac events and the 7-year risk for death in a population of RTRs using a cardiovascular risk calc...
Recomendações para Análise Mutacional em Tumores do Estroma Gastrointestinal (G...
Lopes, JM; Soares, M; Gouveia, AM; Barroso, S; Cravo, M; Mansinho, H; Penedo, L; Sá, A; Santos, LL; Teixeira, JAThe authors outline recommendations for the mutational analysis of GISTs unanimously approved by a multidisciplinary group on July 20th, 2012. The mutational status of KIT and PDGFRA allows identifying therapeutic targets to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and therefore, the safe clinical practice in the biotherapy decisions for patients with GISTs should include the analysis of the mutational status. The mu...

Lopes, JM; Soares, M; Gouveia, AM; Barroso, S; Cravo, M; Mansinho, H; Penedo, J; Sá, A; Santos, LL; Teixeira, JAOs autores apresentam as recomendações para a análise mutacional de GISTs, aprovadas por unanimidade por um grupo multidisciplinar em 20 de Julho de 2012. O estado mutacional de genes como o KIT e o PDGFRA permite identificar alvos terapêuticos para inibidores da tirosinacínase (ITKs) e, por isso, a boa prática clínica nas decisões bioterapêuticas de doentes com GISTs deve incluir a análise do estado mutacional...
Patologia Psiquiátrica nos Cuidados Primários de Saúde
Teixeira, JA; Cabral, ASÉ consensual a alta prevalência de patologia psiquiátrica ao nível dos Cuidados Primários Saúde. Consensual será também o papel fulcral que estes mesmos Cuidados desempenham enquanto primeiro filtro na abordagem dos problemas psiquiátricos, reconhecendo-se que, frequentemente, o Clínico Geral é o agente melhor posicionado para uma correcta abordagem diagnóstica e terapêutica deste tipo de problemas. Assume-se a...
