Vertical transmission and antifungal susceptibility profile of yeast isolates f...

Yeast acquisition begins at birth; however, the contribution of the mother on yeast trans mission to the offspring and associated resistance is yet to be clarified. The aim of this study was to explore the vertical transmission of yeasts and their antifungal susceptibility profile in early life. Oral, fecal, and breastmilk samples were collected from 73 mother–child pairs four to twelve weeks after delivery and...

HYPERTENSION OF DIFFICULT CONTROL – A PSEUDO-RESISTANT HYPERTENSION CASE REPORT

Introduction: Cardio and cerebrovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death worldwide, for which there are several risk factors, with arterial hypertension being the most prevalent. In 5-10% of cases of hypertension, there is a secondary cause, with situations that should lead to its suspicion such as young age or resistant hypertension. This corresponds to an uncontrolled hypertension despite b...

MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL: A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occur...

Mammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func tionality and resilience, and theref...

A baseline for prioritizing the conservation of the threatened seagrass Cymodoc...

Seagrasses are experiencing fragmentation and regression globally; thus, protection and recovery of meadows are a preservation priority. However, conservation actions must consider inherent regional conditions, since certain coastal areas are not suitable for the settlement of extensive meadows. Likewise, small oceanic archipelagos are not always able to fulfil the habitat requirements of seagrass habitats but ...

Importance of gastric ultrasound in the study of gastric content

Multiplex PCR based strategy for detection of fungal pathogen DNA in patients w...

A new and easy polymerase chain reaction (PCR) multiplex strategy, for the identification of the most common fungal species involved in invasive fungal infections (IFI) was developed in this work. Two panels with species-specific markers were designed, the <i>Candida Panel</i> for the identification of <i>Candida</i> species, and the <i>Filamentous Fungi Panel</i> for the identification of <i>Aspergillus</i> sp...

A strategy for facing new employability trends using a low-code development pla...

There is currently a high demand for professionals with digital skills in the areas of Information and Communication Technologies. As such, in future this trend is expected to increase. Higher education institutions are unable to train adequate numbers of qualified people to respond to employers' requests. In other areas, it is expected that increasing computerization and automation will have a significant impa...

Urban transport system enhanced through IoT infrastructure and mobile services ...

In this paper, we present an on-going project that aims to promote transport sustainability, urban mobility and citizens accessibility in Viana do Castelo. We contextualize and describe the current transport system and identity the improvements that could be made with an IoT infrastructure on it, namely the services that could be provided to citizens and their benefits. We also present the designed solution and...
