A asma brônquica é uma doença complexa e interfere com a qualidade de vida desses doentes. Pretendemos, com a presente investigação, estudar a relação das variáveis sócio-demográficas (género, idade e grau de instrução), clínicas (gravidade da doença, duração e tipo clínico) e psicológicas (cognições, emoções e comportamentos) com a qualidade de vida do doente asmático. Cinqüenta doentes asmáticos do Departamento de Pneumologia e Imunoalergologia dos Hospitais da Universidade de Coimbra preencheram ...

Vaccination is considered the most important measure to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Extensive follow-up studies with distinct vaccines and populations are able to promote robust and reliable data to better understand the effectiveness of this pharmacologic strategy. In this sense, we present data regarding binding and neutralizing (achieved by surrogate ELISA assay) antibodies throughout time, from vaccinated and previously infected (PI) health care workers (HCW) in Portugal. We analyzed serum samples ...

Novel microcapsules containing grape peel by-product extract were obtained. In this pursuit, complex coacervation of casein/pectin bioconjugate and spray-drying were combined. We have investigated the role of the dispersion feed rate (FR), drying air inlet temperature (IT) and drying air flow rate (AR) in the drying yield, microencapsulation efficiency, total polyphenols and anthocyanins contents, antioxidant activity, and morphology of the products. Also, the first-order degradation kinetics of the ...

: Influenza A virus (IAV) infection causes severe pulmonary disease characterized by intense leukocyte infiltration. Phosphoinositide-3 kinases (PI3Ks) are central signaling enzymes, involved in cell growth, survival and migration. Class IB PI3K or PI3Kγ, mainly expressed by leukocytes, are involved in cell migration during inflammation. Here, we investigated the contribution of PI3Kγ for the inflammatory and antiviral responses to IAV. PI3Kγ knock out (KO) mice were highly susceptible to lethality following ...

Inhibition of mineral crystal formation is a crucial step in ectopic calcification. Serum calciprotein particles (CPPs) have been linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) calcification propensity, but additional knowledge is required to understand their function, assemblage, and composition. The role of other circulating nanostructures, such as extracellular vesicles (EVs) in vascular calcification is currently unknown. Here, we investigated the association of GRP (Gla-rich protein) with circulating CPP ...

Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.), a member of the family Betulaceae and the order Fagales, is native to Europe, Turkey, and the Caucasus. It has been cultivated for more than 5000 years. The majority of cultivars were selected from local wild populations over the past few centuries. Hazelnut is native to northern Portugal, with local production from landrace clonal selections. In recent years, hazelnut production has declined, and landraces are in danger of being lost. In this study, we used 16 microsatellite ...

Summary Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a prototype member of the neurotrophins family and has important functions in the maintenance of viability and proliferation of neuronal and non-neuronal cells, such as certain ovarian cells. The present review highlights the role of NGF and its receptors on ovarian follicle development. NGF initiates its multiple actions through binding to two classes of receptors: the high affinity receptor tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) and the low-affinity receptor p75. Different ...
