Introdução: As goteiras oclusais são amplamente utilizadas na medicina dentária para o tratamento das disfunções temporomandibulares e para o bruxisimo, promovendo a proteção dentárias e a estabilidade oclusal. Com o avanço das tecnologias digitais, a impressão 3D surgiu como alternativa inovadora aos métodos convencionais de fabrico. Objetivos: Comparar a eficácia das goteiras oclusais fabricadas pelos métodos...
O nosso objetivo é conhecer os aprendizados no domínio do conhecimento matemático, no tópico de Sequências e Regularidades, realizados por duas futuras professoras dos anos iniciais durante a sua participação num estudo de aula, e conhecer as suas percepções acerca do seu aprendizado. Seguimos uma abordagem qualitativa, no quadro do paradigma interpretativo e integrada numa investigação baseada em design. Recol...
Arouquesa is an autochthonous bovine breed known for its Arouquesa PDO beef labeling. There are several production systems under the definition of PDO labeling. This study aimed to compare the effect of different production systems on carcass and meat traits for the Arouquesa breed. Two trials differing in diet and weaning age were conducted. The first trial included a TF group fed the traditional way and weane...
Essential oils are odorant liquid oily products consisting of a complex mixture of volatile compounds obtained from a plant raw material. They have been increasingly proven to act as potential natural agents in the treatment of several human conditions, including diabetes mellitus (DM). DM is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia closely related to carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism ...

Coastal ecosystems are subjected to multiple co-occurring anthropogenic stressors which potentially interact to produce complex impacts on the structure and functioning of biological communities. Seagrass meadows are among the most rapidly declining coastal habitats on Earth. In particular, high nutrient loadings, enhanced sedimentation and competition from blooming seaweeds, like the invasive red alga Gracilar...
Diabetes is a complex disease characterized by hyperglycemia, together with polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia. While Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) results from genetic, environmental, or immune dysfunction factors leading to pancreatic β-cell destruction depriving the organism from endogenous insulin, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by peripheral insulin resistance. Depending on the type o...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia together with disturbances in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fat, which in general results from an insulin availability and need imbalance. In a great number of patients, marketed anti-glycemic agents have shown poor effectiveness in maintaining a long-term glycemic control, thus being associated with severe adv...
[Excerpt] Essential oils (EOs) played for a long time an important role in human history, since there are numerous documentations about their use in different locations, from India (5000 BC) to Mesopotamia or Greece (3000 BC), as food flavors and additives, medicines, aphrodisiacs, and cosmetics (Dima and Dima 2015). An essential oil is defined by International Standards Organization as “a product obtained from...
