Tavares, M; Farraia, M; Silva, S; Ribeiro, AM; Severo, M; Paciência, I; Ribeiro, R; Hespanhol, V; Guimarães, T; Almeida, J; Magro, F; Sarmento, ABackground: Montelukast, a safe drug widely use in asthmatic patients, may be an adjuvant in the treatment of Covid-19, either by improving lung injury and inflammation, or by acting as an anti-viral drug. We aim to assess the efficacy and safety of montelukast as add-on treatment in patients with Covid-19. Methods: We propose a randomized, controlled, parallel, open-label trial involving 160 hospitalized adult...

Simultaneous removal of trace elements from contaminated waters by living Ulva ...
Henriques, B; Teixeira, A; Figueira, P; Reis, AT; Almeida, J; Vale, C; Pereira, EThis work shows the capabilities of living seaweed, Ulva lactuca, to remove As, Cd, Pb, Cu, Cr, Hg, Mn and Ni from contaminated waters. Experiments were performed with three algal doses (1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 g L−1, FW), two ionic strengths (salinity 15 and 35), and trace element concentrations corresponding to the maximum allowed values in wastewaters. The highest removals were obtained with the algal dose of 6 g L...
