In search of homelands: using strontium isotopes to identify biological markers...

This study uses strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) in dental enamel from burial populations related to the fortified Chalcolithic settlement site of Zambujal (c. 2800e1800 BC) to distinguish the presence of nonlocal individuals. Zambujal is located in the Estremadura region of Portugal near the Atlantic coast and has long been considered a central location of population aggregation, craft production, and trade duri...

Epilepsy, hippocampal sclerosis and febrile seizures linked by common genetic v...

Epilepsy comprises several syndromes, amongst the most common being mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis. Seizures in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis are typically drug-resistant, and mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis is frequently associated with important co-morbidities, mandating the search for better understanding and treatment. The cause o...

TWO DECADES OF EARTH SCIENCE RESEARCH

In 2012, the Évora Geophysics Centre (CGE) celebrates 20 years of activity. In these two decades, the national scientific system underwent a profound transformation, new organizational structures appeared, and participation in structures and international networks, and scientific integration reached very high levels. The national scientific environment is now more qualified and competitive; however the availabl...

Emotion recognition in multiple sclerosis

The effect of multiple sclerosis (MS) on the ability to identify emotional expressions in faces was investigated, and possible associations with patients’ characteristics were explored. 56 non-demented MS patients and 56 healthy subjects (HS) with similar demographic characteristics performed an emotion recognition task (ERT), the Benton Facial Recognition Test (BFRT), and answered the Hospital Anxiety and Depr...

Unusual flavones in cytisus desf.

Cytisus Desf. (Fabaceae) is a diversified genus enclosing approximately sixty species, which are particularly found around the Mediterranean Sea. Many plants of this genus exhibit bioactive properties such as diuretic, hypnotic, anxiolytic, antiparasitic, antidiabetic and antioxidant [1] and, in particular the latter, has been closely associated to the high content in flavonoids [2]. The present work aims to c...

Haematological and biochemical parameters in Churra-da-Terra-Quente ewes from t...

Hematological and biochemical parameters, including plasma electrolytes and thyroid hormones, were determined in 73 clinically healthy Churra-da-Terra-Quente ewes, a typical breed from the northeast of Portugal. The hemogram values were: erythrocytes 9.8±1.5×10(12)/L; haemoglobin 118.1±19.1g/L; haematocrit 40.8±5.9%; leukocytes 5.7±1.8×10(9)/L; and platelets 544.3±177.2×10(9)/L. The thrombin time was 17.3±1.7 s...

Efeito da suplementação na composição física e centesimal da paleta, do costilh...

Avaliou-se o efeito da suplementação sobre a composição físico-química da paleta, do costilhar e do pescoço de ovinos Santa Inês, terminados em pastejo. Foram utilizados 24 ovinos castrados, com peso vivo (PV) médio inicial de 15,8kg, distribuídos em três tratamentos (0, 1,0 e 1,5% do PV em suplementação concentrada). O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado, com três tratamentos e oito repeti...

Iogurte probiótico produzido com leite de cabra suplementado com Bifidobacteriu...

Avaliaram-se iogurtes de leite de cabra contendo ou não Bifidobacterium longum, B. breve, B. pseudolongum ou B. bifidum, adicionados ou não de aroma de morango. Os dados obtidos nas análises higiênico-sanitárias e físico-químicas foram dentro dos valores exigidos pela legislação brasileira; apenas o valor encontrado para lactose esteve abaixo do recomendado. Quanto às bactérias do iogurte, não houve diferença n...

Avaliação da atividade antibacteriana e prospecção fitoquímica de Solanum panic...

Devido ao aparecimento de populações de parasitos resistentes, as drogas farmacêuticas, alternativas de controle, estão sendo pesquisadas utilizando plantas medicinais. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a atividade antibacteriana e realizar a análise fitoquímica do extrato etanólico de duas espécies do semi-árido paraibano, Solanum paniculatum Lam. e Operculina hamiltonii (G. Don) D. F. Austin & Staples. ...
