Enhancing growth, nutrient uptake and flowering of Tagetes patula plants throug...
Vieira, João; Saque, Moisés; Viana, Catarina; Rodrigues, Maria Helena; Guerreiro David Coelho, Luísa Isabel; Gama, Florinda; Varela, João; Pereira, HugoTagetes patula L. is a prominent plant that is frequently used for its ornamental value. Marigolds are sources of various compounds of great interest to agricultural, pharmaceutical, and nutritional industries. Microalgae can be applied as a biostimulant as they have multifunctional properties in agriculture, namely facilitating nutrient uptake, improving crop performance and physiological status, and thus incr...
Evaluation of Chlorella vulgaris application as a biostimulant for lettuce grow...
Vieira, João; Saque, Moisés; Gama, Florinda; Viana, Catarina; Guerreiro David Coelho, Luísa Isabel; Rodrigues, Maria Helena; Varela, João; Pereira, HugoThis study evaluated the effect of Chlorella vulgaris application on the growth of soilless-grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv. 'Oreja de Mulo') cultivated outdoors. Microalgae suspensions were applied weekly at concentrations of 0.5, 2.0, and 5.0 g L(-)1. Plants grown without the application of microalgae were used as the control. Leaf chlorophyll concentration was registered at the beginning and at the end of t...
Identifying relevant specific IgE in dogs – a one health precision model.
Paixão, Ana; Costa, Ana; Antunes, Célia; Tomaz, Elza; Pires, Paula; Vieira, João; Kumagai, Akiko; Martins, Luís; Masuda, KenichiBackground and objective: In dogs, several skin disorders have been associated with allergen-specific IgE and clinical manifestations like atopic dermatitis are one main reason for veterinary care regarding allergy. However, sensitization may occur without clinical manifestations, pointing to the occurrence of specific IgE lacking allergy triggering. Defective skin barrier function, favoring an in-depth penetra...
Identifying relevant specific IgE in horses – a one health precision model.
Paixão, Ana; Costa, Ana; Antunes, Célia; Tomaz, Elza; Pires, Paula; Vieira, João; Kumagai, Akiko; Martins, Luís; Masuda, KenichiBackground and objective: Allergic diseases in horses have remained unknown since IgE in horses has not been precisely measured. CRE-DR is a unique anti-IgE antibody cross-reactive to human and dog IgE. Amino acids of CRE-DR epitope are well-conserved among animal species except for rodents. In addition, CRE-DR recognizes IgE losing FcRI binding. Therefore, this work aimed to identify pathogenic (heat-sensitiv...
Identifying relevant specific IgE in humans – a one health precision model.
Paixão, Ana; Costa, Ana; Antunes, Célia; Tomaz, Elza; Pires, Paula; Vieira, João; Kumagai, Akiko; Martins, Luís; Masuda, KenichiBackground and objective: In Europe approximately 23% of the population is affected by allergic respiratory diseases. The most common clinical signs are sneezing, itchy nose, rhinorrhea, and/or nasal congestion. In humans, several respiratory disorders have also been associated with allergen-specific IgE. Various clinical manifestations such as asthma or allergic rhinitis are among the main reasons for allergy ...
Estudo da relevância da resposta IgE específica em cão, cavalo e humano – um mo...
Paixão, Ana; Costa, Ana; Antunes, Célia; Martins, Luís; Tomaz, Elza; Pires, Paula; Vieira, João; Masuda, KenichiObjectivos: Pretendeu-se implementar o método ELISA para determinar níveis de IgE patogénica e não patogénica em soros humanos, caninos e equinos, de pacientes sensibilizados e alérgicos a ácaros das espécies Dermatophagoides farinae e Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, usando o sistema de deteção CRE-DR e CRE-DRB (Animal Allergy Clinical Laboratory, Japan). Metodologia: Foram incluídos cães e cavalos, seguidos no...
The conversion of rockrose (Cistus ladanifer L.) shrubland into biodiverse past...
Vieira, João; Filip, Iván Daniel; Soares Curado de Matos, Isabel Cristina; Rodrigues, Alessandra; Trindade, Ana Rita; Silva, Luís; Cassinello, JoãoPastures in the Mediterranean region are vital for sustaining local agriculture and preserving biodiversity. When well-managed, these pastures enhance soil structure and fertility, reduce erosion, and improve water retention. These functions are especially critical in a climate marked by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Moreover, these systems play a key role in carbon sequestration, contributing signifi...

Quasi-iatrogenia vascular – dois relatos de caso
Pires, Patrícia; Sousa, Gonçalo; Afonso, Ana; Vieira, João; Marques, Gil; Gonçalves, Ana; Barroso, Pedro; Gonzalez, António; Ferreira, Maria JoséINTRODUÇÂO: As lesões vasculares iatrogénicas são uma causa importante de morbilidade e mortalidade após intervenções cirúrgicas ortopédicas ou neurocirúrgicas. Neste artigo, os autores apresentam dois casos clinicos de quasi-iatrogenia vascular. CASOS CLÍNICOS: Dois casos, um procedimento ortopédico e um procedimento neurocirúrgico, são apresentados. O primeiro caso refere-se a uma mulher de 80 anos com migraç...
GEOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF CO2 STORAGE COMPLEXES INTEGRATING AUTOCORRELATIO...
Caeiro, Maria Helena; Vieira, João; Moreno, Beatriz; Pereira, Pedro; Caldeira, Bento; Ribeiro, Carlos; Borges, José; Canteli, Paula; Oliveira, RuiThe PilotSTRATEGY project investigates geological carbon dioxide (CO₂) storage in deep saline aquifers, focusing on the Monte Real site in Portugal. Due to limited well and seismic data, passive seismic methods were used for cost-effective and environmentally friendly subsurface characterization. The study involved recording ambient noise, analyzing it through autocorrelation, and comparing with existing seismi...
