TASTY trial: protocol for a study on the triad of nutrition, intestinal microbi...
Charneca, Sofia; Hernando, Ana; Almada-Correia, Inês; Polido Pereira, Joaquim; Vieira, Adriana; Sousa, Joana; Almeida, Ana S.; Motta, Carla MottaBackground: The gut microbiota has been implicated in the onset and progression of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). It has been proposed that gut dysbiosis impairs gut barrier function, leading to alterations in mucosal integrity and immunity. This disruption allows bacterial translocation, contributing to the perpetuation of the inflammatory process. Since diet is recognised as a key environmental factor influencing...
Let’s review the gut microbiota in systemic lupus erythematosus
Almada-Correia, Inês; Costa Reis, Patricia; Guerreiro, Catarina Sousa; Fonseca, João EuricoSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, immune-mediated disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. New evidence suggests that diet, gut microbiota, intestinal permeability, and endotoxemia may modulate chronic inflammation and disease activity in SLE. This review focus on what is known about the gut microbiota in lupus mouse models and SLE patients and the possible mechanisms that con...
Body composition evaluation in head and neck cancer patients: a review
Almada-Correia, Inês; Neves, Pedro Miguel; Mäkitie, Antti; Ravasco, PaulaIntroduction: Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients show a high risk of malnutrition due to the lifestyle habits adopted prior to the diagnosis as well as to the compromising impact of both the anatomical location of the tumor and the treatment modalities on food intake. Weight change, measurement of skinfold thickness, biochemical parameters, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), computed tomography (CT), magn...
