Particulate matter (PM) is a harmful air pollutant that damages human health by inducing oxidative stress through the excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative Potential (OP) is a proposed metric to measure PM's capacity to generate ROS (Almetwally et al., 2020; Jiang et al., 2019). This study aims to implement the OPDTT assessment methodology at C2TN (Portugal). A set of PM2.5 samples wa...
University students are a vulnerable population to the development of disordered eating, such as food addiction (FA) and grazing. FA is an emerging concept characterized by an intense desire to eat hyper-palatable foods. Grazing is characterized by the repetitive and unplanned ingestion of food throughout a period of time. Both FA and grazing have been associated with increased scores of negative urgency (NU) a...
Particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5) is one of the air pollutants more detrimental to human health, being responsible for around 400 000 premature deaths in Europe every year. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and air pollution are linked, with existing evidence of a causal relationship between exposure to particulate matter and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Under the scope of PMCa...
The elemental composition and bioaccessibility of the wild holothuroids Holothuria arguinensis, Holothuria forskali, and Holothuria mammata was studied. Nutritional and toxicological aspects were evaluated. H. mammata was the richest in Mn, Ni, As, Cd, Pb, and Hg; H. forskali had the highest Cu and I contents, 4.12–4.93 mg/kg dw and 28.02–28.26 mg/kg dw, respectively; and Summer H. arguinensis had high Se conte...
Clinical information is an important tool to perform correctly imaging studies. Immobilisation devices may difficult the identification of the region of study, therefore, proper communication before an examination to adjust the study to a patient's condition is important. The present study aims to evaluate the existence or absence of clinical information in the examination requests forms in a radiology department.
