Hazard characterization of the mycotoxins enniatins and beauvericin to identify...

Enniatins (ENNs) and beauvericin (BEA) are cyclic hexadepsipeptide fungal metabolites which have demonstrated antibiotic, antimycotic, and insecticidal activities. The substantial toxic potentials of these mycotoxins are associated with their ionophoric molecular properties and relatively high lipophilicities. ENNs occur extensively in grain and grain-derived products and are considered a food safety issue by t...

Neurodevelopment and Dietary Intake in Toddlers: A Cross-Sectional Study from t...

<jats:p>Little is known about the potential associations between neurodevelopment, dietary diversity and food processing in the toddler period. This study aimed to estimate the association between these dietary quality dimensions and neurodevelopment in toddlers. Data for this cross-sectional analysis came from the Healthy Children 2021 project and included 212 toddlers (51.9% females, aged 1236 months) from 15...

Gynecological History Up to Diagnosis and Pregnancy Outcomes in Diagnosed Wilso...

Introduction: most studies narrowly focus on pregnancy outcome comparisons between Wilson’s disease (WD) patients on and off treatment. We aimed to identify menses irregularities in untreated WD, and to evaluate pregnancy outcomes in treated WD patients as compared to matched controls (with and without liver disease). Methods: females with WD, hepatitis C (liver disease controls), and other gastrointestinal con...

The hCOMET project: International database comparison of results with the comet...

The alkaline comet assay, or single cell gel electrophoresis, is one of the most popular methods for assessing DNA damage in human population. One of the open issues concerning this assay is the identification of those factors that can explain the large inter-individual and inter-laboratory variation. International collaborative initiatives such as the hCOMET project - a COST Action launched in 2016 - represent...

Burden of Liver Cirrhosis in Portugal Between 2010 and 2017

Introduction: Liver cirrhosis is a prevalent disease in Portugal. Recent changes in alcohol consumption, as well as the wide use of direct-acting antivirals for hepatitis C since 2015, may be contributing to changes in the national burden of liver cirrhosis in the last few years. Objectives: We aim to characterize the burden of cirrhosis in Portugal between 2010 and 2017. Patients and methods: We analyzed all h...

One Health Day, Emerging Diseases - Mycotoxins under the Human Biomonitoting In...

Livro de resumos d o encontro 'One Health Day' 2020. É uma iniciativa com carácter internacional coordenada por redes de investigação, como a One Health Comission e a One Health Platform Foundation, que escolheram o dia 3 de novembro como o Dia da Saúde Única. O conceito One Health remete à interdependência entre a saúde humana, dos animais e do ambiente.

Mycotoxins under the Human Biomonitoting Initiative (HBM4EU): challenges in the...

Mycotoxins are natural toxins produced by several fungi genera that contaminate cereals, fruits and other food. The ingestion of contaminated food and feed may result not only in acute disease but also in chronic conditions, e.g., reproductive toxicity, inflammatory bowel diseases or cancer either in animals or humans. It is thus of high relevance to use a one health approach to monitor environmental, human and...

Pregnancy as a Period of Enhanced Risk for Non-Cavitated Caries Lesions

Purpose: To investigate if pregnancy represents a period of increased risk of non-cavitated dental caries related to changes in saliva and oral health behaviours. Materials and methods: A non-randomised longitudinal study was performed with 27 pregnant women and 25 non-pregnant women, who were evaluated twice with the same time gap (24 weeks on average). At the first visit sociodemographic and oral health-relat...

Endoscopic Management of Sigmoid Volvulus in a Debilitated Population: What Rel...

Background: Colonic volvulus, mainly from the sigmoid, is a relatively common cause of intestinal obstruction, particularly in the elderly and in patients with debilitating conditions. The high morbi-mortality of emergency surgery places the endoscopic approach as the first-line treatment for the resolution of this acute obstructive condition. Objectives: To assess the importance of endoscopic treatment for the...
