Abstract Polychaetes are marine annelid worms that can contribute to aquaculture diversification. Its culture has been viable, and commercially attempted, but intensive production has progressed only in few countries around the world. In the countries with no production, marine polychaetes are imported or harvested. A strong and sustained research investment provided to a better understanding of the nutritional requirements and reproduction of some species. Recent studies showed new technical improvements, ...

Estuaries are extremely productive ecosystems, providing habitat for numerous species and considered essential nurseries for many marine species. However, environmental changes caused by anthropogenic threats affect the quantity and quality of estuarine habitats. Habitat loss and degradation, conspicuous in estuaries worldwide, is considered a major threat to the function of estuaries. Information on threatening processes leading to habitat loss and degradation and on relative vulnerability of different ...

Habitat suitability index (HSI) models were used to map habitat quality for the sympatric soles Solea solea and Solea senegalensis in the Tagus estuary, Portugal. The selection of input variables to be used in these models is crucial since the recollection of such data involves important human and time resources. Various combinations of variables were developed and compared. Habitat maps were constructed for the months of peak abundance of S. solea and S. senegalensis consisting of grid maps for ...

Background: Pulse pressure variation (ΔPP) and systolic pressure variation (SPV) induced by mechanical ventilation have been proposed to detect hypovolaemia and guide fluid therapy. During laparoscopic surgery, chest compliance is decreased by pneumoperitoneum. This may affect the value of SPV and ΔPP as indicators of intravascular volume status. Thereby, we investigated the effects of pneumoperitoneum and hypovolaemia on SPV and ΔPP. Methods: We measured ΔPP, SPV and the inspiratory (Δup) and expiratory ( ...

Connectivity between estuarine fish nurseries and coastal adult habitats can be affected by variations in juvenile growth and survival. Condition indices are renowned proxies of juvenile nutritional status and growth rates and are valuable tools to assess habitat quality. Biochemical (RNA:DNA ratio) and morphometric (Fulton's condition factor K) condition indices were determined in juveniles of Solea solea, Solea senegalensis, Platichthys flesus, Diplodus vulgaris and Dicentrarchus labrax collected ...

Schistosomiasis is a transmissible parasitic disease caused by the etiologic agent Schistosoma mansoni, whose intermediate hosts are snails of the genus Biomphalaria. The main goal of this paper is to estimate the prevalence of schistosomiasis in Minas Gerais State in Brazil using spatial disease information derived from the state transportation network of roads and rivers. The spatial information was incorporated in two ways: by introducing new variables that carry spatial neighborhood information ...

Statistical models predicting species distributions are essential not only to increase knowledge on species but for their application in conservation and ecologically-based management. The variation of fish species richness and abundance in the most representative habitats (saltmarsh, mudflat and subtidal) in five estuaries along the Portuguese coast was analysed through seasonal sampling surveys in 2009. Generalized additive models (GAM) were developed to describe the variation of species richness ...

Background Patients with severe COVID-19 seem to evolve with a compromised antiviral response and hyperinflammation. Neutrophils are critical players in COVID-19. IL-17A plays a major role in protection against extracellular pathogens and neutrophil attraction/activation. We hypothesized that secukinumab, an anti-IL17A monoclonal antibody, could prevent the deleterious hyperinflammation in COVID-19.Methods BISHOP was a randomized, open-label, single-centre, phase-II controlled trial.

Several molecular properties of phenol in the gas phase and in a dielectric medium representing liquid water were calculated. The calculations were based on ab initio and density-functional methods. It is shown that the latter provide a good description of the molecular properties of phenol. An analysis of the electrostatic solvent effects on these properties, based on the self-consistent reaction field, indicates that the influence of a polar dielectric environment on the molecular properties of ...

The Lusitanian toadfish, Halobatrachus didactylus , like other batrachoidids, is a benthic fish species with nesting behaviour during the breeding season. During this prolonged period it engages in mating activities and remains in the nest providing parental care. It is not known whether males feed while providing parental care but it is likely that their limited mobility may restrict their diet and influence their fitness. As a consequence, egg cannibalism could occur as a life-history strategy. ...

Quilombola communities are present in many Brazilian states living in precarious health conditions. This is due to geographic isolation, limitations to the access of the area in which they live in, and the lack of quality in the service when it is needed to be provided. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the quality of life of women from a quilombola community in northeastern Brazil. It is an observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study. 160 adult women were first interviewed ...

The eastern Brazilian Amazon contains many isolated ferruginous savanna ecosystem patches (locally known as 'canga vegetation') located on ironstone rocky outcrops on the top of plateaus and ridges, surrounded by tropical rainforests. In the Carajás Mineral Province (CMP), these outcrops contain large iron ore reserves that have been exploited by opencast mining since the 1980s. The canga vegetation is particularly impacted by mining, since the iron ores that occur are associated with this type of ...
