A low resource skeleton maturation estimation system for automatic hand X-Ray a...
Campos, Ana; Silva, Maria; Azeredo, Ricardo; Coelho, Luis; Reis, Sara; Abreu, SílviaThe assessment of differences between skeletal age and chronological age in childhood is often based on the comparison of the patient's left hand x-ray with a reference atlas, performed by a experienced professional. This procedure involves a manual image analysis, that can be subject to inter rater variability posing several problems for clinical applications. In this paper a new methodology for skeleton matur...
Detecting enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in animal production: method develop...
Barros, Maria Margarida; Oliveira, Ricardo; Castro, Joana Isabel Reis; Campos, Ana; Almeida, Gonçalo Nieto; Araújo, Daniela; Silva, Sónia CarinaSwine enteric colibacillosis is a disease characterized by an intestinal infection caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). This infection mostly causes illness or death in neonatal and weaned pigs making it responsible for significant economic losses. Bacterial fimbriae (F4/F5/F6/F18/F41) are responsible for the adhesion to epithelial cells, and when both the immunological systems and the gut microbi...
Aptamers for blocking enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Barros, Maria Margarida; Oliveira, Ricardo; Castro, Joana Isabel Reis; Araújo, Daniela Eira; Silva, Sónia Carina; Campos, Ana; Outor-Monteiro, DivanildoEnterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the major cause of enteric infections in swine, resulting in significant costs for the swine industry. Among other virulence factors, fimbriae are essential for the initial adhesion of ETEC to the intestinal epithelial cells. In particular, the F4-type (K88) fimbriae are commonly associated with neonatal infections and most post-weaning diarrhoeal infections. These dis...

Optimisation of a molecular methodology for the detection of virulence factors ...
Campos, Ana; Oliveira, Ricardo; Almeida, Carina; Vieira, Filipa Quintela; Silva, Regina AugustaThe most common bacterial pathogen causing enteric infections in pigs is enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). Since pigs represent the largest livestock category in the European Union, ETEC-associated diseases, better known as swine colibacillosis leading to acute diarrhea and eventual death of the animal, result in significant costs to the pig industry. These diseases are traditionally prevented or treated...
One Year of COVID-19 in Pregnancy: A National Wide Collaborative Study
Borges Charepe, Nadia; Queirós, Alexandra; Alves, Maria José; Serrano, Fátima; Ferreira, Catarina; Gamito, Mariana; Smet, Carolina; Silva, VanessaIntroduction: Even though the risk of COVID-19 in pregnancy may be increased, large-scale studies are needed to better understand the impact of the infection in this population. The aim of this study is to describe obstetric complications and the rate of vertical transmission in pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection.Material and Methods: Detected cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy were registered in ...
Solitary Neurofibroma of the larynx in adults
Órfão, João; Campos, Ana; Almeida, Gustavo; Custódio, Sara; Antunes, Joselina; Hebe, Ana; Pacheco, Ricardo; Montalvão, Pedro; Magalhães, MiguelNeurofibromas are benign tumors with neural origin, most frequently found in neurofibromatosis. However, they can also occur as isolated lesions, which are extremely rare in the larynx. We present a case of a 56 years old patient who presented with complains of odynophagia, hoarseness, dysphagia and dyspnea. On otolaryngologic observation it was found a large pharyngolaryngeal mass compressing the airway, which...
