Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso, one of the pivotal figures of the Portuguese Modernist movement, studied painting and began his work in Paris where he arrived at the age of 19. Interestingly, Amadeo cemented strong friendships with some physicians from his time. The first was Manuel Laranjeiro, physician, poet and essayist, who has been a major influence on his choice of studying visual arts. In 1909, the painter met ...
A obra é constituída pelos resumos da comunicações apresentadas pelos docentes da Escola Superior Agrária do Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco e são referentes aos projetos de investigação nos quais estão envolvidos. ; O atual Conselho Técnico-Científico (CTC) da Escola Superior Agrária de Castelo Branco (ESACB) tomou posse em fevereiro de 2012, tendo decidido dar continuidade ao ciclo de conferências in...
WOS:000318367000015 (Nº de Acesso Web of Science) ; The present study aims to examine the relationship between cognitive factors and mathematical achievement in primary education. Participants were 103 Portuguese third grade students, aged 8 and 9. All participants completed a battery for working memory (WMTB-C), a test of general intelligence (Raven's Progressive Color Matrices), a selective attention test (d...
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders are an important group of genetic diseases presenting with a multifacet array of clinical manifestations. Highly energy-dependent tissues such as central nervous system and skeletal and cardiac muscles are commonly involved either as multisystem or as isolated organ disease. Characteristic symptoms include epilepsy, myopathy, deafness and ophthalmoplegia, all associated with ...
This work proposes biodegradable textile-based structures for tissue engineering applications. We describe the use of two polymers, polybutylene succinate (PBS) proposed as a viable multifilamentand silk fibroin (SF), to produce fibre-based finely tuned porous architectures by weft knitting. PBS is here proposed as a viable extruded multifilament fibre to be processed by a textile-based technology. A comparativ...
The focus of this chapter is to review the clinical and molecular etiologies of nuclear defects involved in mtDNA stability and in mitochondrial protein synthesis. The overview done here will hopefully provide insights towards best diagnostic strategies of mitochondrial cross–talk disorders, being useful for clinicians when facing similar cases. Additionally we will present a diagnostic algorithm for these dise...
Complex I (CI) deficiency is a defect of OXPHOS caused by mutations in the mitochondrial or nuclear genomes. To date disease-causing mutations have been reported in all mitochondrial-encoded subunits and 22 nuclear genes. In about 50% of the patients no mutations are found, suggesting that undiscovered factors are an important cause of disease. In this study we report a consanguineous family from Southern Portu...
A persistência de uma lesão melanocítica, em local onde tenha sido previamente excisado um nevo melanocítico pode colocar, clínica e histologicamente, problemas no diagnóstico diferencial com melanoma, designado por alguns autores como ‘pseudomelanoma’. Neste estudo, os autores pretendem realizar uma análise comparativa entre os achados clínicos e histopatológicos das lesões melanocíticas primárias e dos nevos ...
Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is an infrequent vasculitis that affects small to medium-sized vessels. We describe a 51 year-old-female admitted to our inpatient unit with bullae on her right foot and forearm with pain, paresthesias and impotence of the foot. There was rapid clinical deterioration with lost of gait and peripheral eosinophilia. Histopathology showed many extravascular eosinophils. Bone marrow had ...
The X-linked creatine transporter defect is caused by mutations in the SLC6A8 gene. Until now, 66 synonymous and intronic variants in SLC6A8 were detected in our laboratory. To gain more insight in the effect of the detected variants, we applied five free web-based splice-site analysis tools to 25 published variants that were stratified as (non-)disease causing. All were correctly predicted to have no effect (n...
