Exploring the relationship between emotion regulation, inhibitory control, and ...
Ramos, Rita; Vaz, Ana Rita; Rodrigues, Tânia F.; Baenas, Isabel; Fernández‐Aranda, Fernando; Machado, Paulo P. P.Objective: The present study aimed to explore the relationship between difficulties in emotion regulation and deficits in inhibitory control, and the role of these processes in eating psychopathology in a non-clinical sample. We also explored the specificity in which deficits in inhibitory control may underlie eating psychopathology, namely whether they can be conceptualised as context specific or more extensiv...
Differences in Immune-Related Genes Underlie Temporal and Regional Pathological...
Fernandes, Adelaide; Caldeira, Cláudia; Cunha, Carolina; Ferreiro, Elisabete; Vaz, Ana Rita; Brites, DoraThe prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of age-associated dementia, is estimated to increase over the next decades. Evidence suggests neuro-immune signaling deregulation and risk genes beyond the amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition in AD pathology. We examined the temporal profile of inflammatory mediators and microglia deactivation/activation in the brain cortex and hippocampus of 3xTg-AD mice ...
Intrathecal injection of the secretome from ALS motor neurons regulated for miR...
Barbosa, Marta; Santos, Marta; de Sousa, Nídia; Silva, Sara Carina Duarte; Vaz, Ana Rita; Salgado, A. J.; Brites, DoraAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease with short life expectancy and no effective therapy. We previously identified upregulated miR-124 in NSC-34-motor neurons (MNs) expressing human SOD1-G93A (mSOD1) and established its implication in mSOD1 MN degeneration and glial cell activation. When anti-miR-124-treated mSOD1 MN (preconditioned) secretome was incubated in spinal cord organotyp...

Vulnerability through the Eyes of People Attended by a Portuguese Community-Bas...
Laranjeira, Carlos; Piaça, Inês; Vinagre, Henrique; Vaz, Ana Rita; Ferreira, Sofia; Cordeiro, Lisete; Querido, AnaVulnerability is associated with the individual’s social and biological conditions, but also the conditions of their enveloping environment and society, leading to terms such as vulnerable populations or risk groups. This study aimed to give a voice to people with experiences of vulnerability and explore their perspectives, using a descriptive qualitative design. Purportedly vulnerable adults were recruited and...

Understanding Uncontrolled Eating after Bariatric Surgery: The Role of Excessiv...
Lourdes, Marta de; Cerqueira, Luísa; Pinto-Bastos, Ana; Marôco, João; Palmeira, Lara; Brandão, Isabel; Vaz, Ana Rita; Conceição, EvaExcess skin and disordered eating behaviors are referred to as some of the major negative consequences of bariatric surgery as well as body image shame. This study sought to explore how discomfort with excessive skin, body image shame, psychological distress, eating-related psychopathology, and negative urgency interact to understand uncontrolled eating among woman submitted to bariatric surgery. A cross-sectio...

Recovery of depleted miR-146a in ALS cortical astrocytes reverts cell aberranci...
Barbosa, Marta; Gomes, Cátia; Sequeira, Catarina; Gonçalves-Ribeiro, Joana; Pina, Carolina Campos; Carvalho, Luís A.; Moreira, Rui; Vaz, Sandra H.Reactive astrocytes in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) change their molecular expression pattern and release toxic factors that contribute to neurodegeneration and microglial activation. We and others identified a dysregulated inflammatory miRNA profile in ALS patients and in mice models suggesting that they represent potential targets for therapeutic intervention. Such cellular miRNAs are known to be relea...
#121. A importância da saúde oral na medicina geral e familiar
Vaz, Ana Rita; Correia, Maria José; Veiga, NélioObjetivos: O médico de família tem um papel fundamental na perceção das necessidades de saúde dos seus utentes. Em Portugal, a saúde oral é por vezes negligenciada. Assim, é fulcral perceber a importância que o médico de família atribui à saúde oral de um utente e se o mesmo efetua uma avaliação preliminar da saúde oral, e perceber quais os comportamentos de saúde oral dos seus utentes, de modo a poder reencami...
