Para que a produção atenda à crescente demanda e que chegue com a devida qualidade na mesa das pessoas, é imprescindível o investimento tanto do produtor quanto em políticas públicas, a fim de ...
Prion-like Doppel gene (PRND) is located downstream from priori protein gene (PRNP). Doppel protein is not related to prion disease but to male fertility. Our previous analysis of PRND coding region in 460 animals from 8 Portuguese sheep breeds, by multiple restriction fragment-single strand conformation polymorphism (MRFSSCP), revealed a synonymous substitution (78G>A). An association was found between identif...
The objective of the present study was to identify sperm abnormalities in young male patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). In 2005, 18 male JDM patients, diagnosed according to the criteria of Bohan and Peter, were followed at the Pediatric Rheumatology Unit and Rheumatology Division, of our Institution. Of the 18 males, 11 were pre-pubertal and 7 were post-pubertal. Two of 7 post-pubertal JDM male pati...
Osteoporosis and atherosclerosis are chronic degenerative diseases which have been considered to be independent and whose common characteristic is increasing incidence with age. At present, growing evidence indicates the existence of a correlation between cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis, irrespective of age. The morbidity and mortality of osteoporosis is mainly related to the occurrence of fractures. At...
Besnoitia besnoiti is a bovine parasite endemic in many tropical and subtropical areas whose prevalence in the Mediterranean countries such as Portugal seems to be increasing. Most infections are mild or subclinical, characterized by the formation of numerous cutaneous and sub-cutaneous microcysts, lowering the quality of skins for the leather industry. Male sterility or impaired fertility is a common sequela i...
Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by the presence of inflammatory synovitis and destruction of joint cartilage and bone. Tissue proteinases released by synovia, chondrocytes and pannus can cause cartilage destruction and cytokine-activated osteoclasts have been implicated in bone erosions. Rheumatoid arthritis synovial tissues produce a variety of cytokines and growth factors that induce monocyte differenti...
Expression of the two isoforms of cyclooxygenase enzyme, cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), by in vitro produced bovine embryos was examined. Cumulus-oocyte complexes were recovered from ovaries of slaughtered animals and subsequently in vitro matured and in vitro fertilized. Presumptive zygotes were cultured in serum containing medium (TCM 199+10% bovine superovulated oestrus serum) on a gr...

A AGERE- E.M. como empresa responsável pelos sistemas de drenagem e tratamento de esgotos, demonstrou todo o interesse neste trabalho, uma vez que lhe permitiu conhecer pormenorizadamente as actividades industriais predominantes e conseq...
No tratamento secundário de águas residuais o processo de lamas activadas é o mais comunmente utilizado. Este assenta no crescimento de bactérias formadoras de flocos que se separa por gravidade do sobrenadante clarificado, sendo indispensável para uma boa floculação um crescimento equilibrado entre estas bactérias e as bactérias filamentosas. Quando existe um crescimento excessivo destas últimas dá-se o fenóme...
