Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular analysis of iron overload in beta2-microglobulin-deficient mice.
Martina U. Muckenthaler,Pedro Rodrigues,Maria G. Macedo,Belén Miñana,Karen Brennan,Elsa M Cardoso,Matthias W. Hentze,Maria de Sousa +7 more
TL;DR: It is reported that beta2m-deficient mice, like Hfe-/- mice, lack the adaptive hepatic hepcidin mRNA increase to iron overload, suggesting that (an) additional beta 2m-interacting protein(s) could be involved in controlling iron homeostasis, and highlighting the emerging connection of iron metabolism with the immune system.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Overview of Geant4 applications in medical physics
L. Archambault,Luc Beaulieu,Jean-François Carrier,F. Castrovillari,Stephane Chauvie,Franca Foppiano,G. Ghiso,Susanna Guatelli,Sebastien Incerti,E. Lamanna,S.A. Larsson,Maria do Carmo Lopes,Luis Peralta,Maria Grazia Pia,Pedro Rodrigues,V.H. Tremblay,A. Trindade +16 more
TL;DR: A series of achievements associated with Geant4-based applications in medical physics and, in particular, in radiotherapy, protontherapy, PEM, PET, MRT, metabolic therapy, IORT are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factorial analysis of the trihalomethane formation in the reaction of colloidal, hydrophobic, and transphilic fractions of DOM with free chlorine.
Stefan Platikanov,Romà Tauler,Pedro Rodrigues,Maria Cristina G. Antunes,Dilson Pereira,Joaquim C.G. Esteves da Silva +5 more
TL;DR: In order to reduce the concentration of THMs in drinking water, DOM concentrations must be reduced in the water prior to the disinfection, and different unit operation designed to quantitatively remove DOM from water must be optimized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluoxetine modulates the transcription of genes involved in serotonin, dopamine and adrenergic signalling in zebrafish embryos.
TL;DR: This study demonstrated the interaction of FLU with the neurotransmission system at environmentally relevant concentrations by changing transcription patterns and it is possible that their disruption can ultimately disturb the escape behaviour and biological functions in fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age and sex differences in neurobehavioral performance: a study of Portuguese elementary school children.
Isabel Pavão Martins,Alexandre Castro-Caldas,Brenda D. Townes,Goretty Ferreira,Pedro Rodrigues,Susana C. R. Marques,Gail Rosebaum,Tonya Benton,Jorge Leitão,Timothy A. DeRouen +9 more
TL;DR: Normal data were obtained on measures of IQ, visual/motor, motor and memory functions among Portuguese elementary school children and females performed better in rote verbal learning, psychomotor speed, and speed of information processing.
