Sequential solid-state fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis of green seaweed t...
Ferreira, Marta Alexandra Lages; Baptista, Ana; Peres, Helena; Belo, Isabel; Salgado, JoséNowadays, the seaweed industries are focused on the production of a single product, so they face the challenge of changing their strategies to generate multiple products from macroalgae biomass, following biorefinery concept. On the other hand, the on-site production of enzymes and sequential enzymatic hydrolysis, integrated to the biorefinery plant, is being considered as a potential strategy to avoid addition...

Severe Thrombocitopenia Induced by Fenofibrate
Clara, Ana; Martins, Tiago; Martins, Alexandra; Baptista, Ana; Lázaro, MárioDrug-induced thrombocytopenia is a common entity in clinical practice. However, having in consideration the severity of the case, it becomes imperative to distinguish non-immune thrombocytopenia from the po-tentially life-threatening immune-mediated forms. The authors report a rare clinical case of a 79-year-old man presenting with purpuric rash and gingival hemorrhage while on fenofibrate treatment (sixth day)...
