Turning the table toward plant-based: different perspectives on menu reformulat...

<jats:p>Scientific evidence supports the need to adapt food systems, counteracting the current scenario characterized by excessive and growing consumption of animal products that translates into high environmental impact, unsustainability, and negative effects on health. The food services are responsible for a high and increasing carbon footprint, emerging as a sector that promotes food sustainability through t...

The Potential of Visible Spectroscopy as a Tool for the In-Line Monitoring of L...

<jats:p>Out of the 50 to 70 million tons of lignin that are produced annually, only 1 to 2% are used for value-added products. Currently, 90% of the total market of this compound corresponds to lignosulphonates (LS). The most successful industrial attempts to use lignin for wood adhesives rely on using it as a partial substitute in phenolformaldehyde or ureaformaldehyde resins. However, lignins aromatic ring pr...

Hip Arthroscopy With Initial Access to the Peripheral Compartment: A Detailed S...

Hip arthroscopy with initial access to the peripheral compartment represents a specific technique to approach the hip that can be particularly useful. This technique is suitable for both the arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and other pathologies that can be addressed by classic arthroscopy with central compartment initial access. Minimal capsulotomies preserve the fluid pressure i...

APOLO-Teens, a web-based intervention for treatment-seeking adolescents with ov...

Purpose: APOLO-Teens is an ongoing web-based program combining a manualized intervention delivered by Facebook®, a self-monitoring web application and monthly chat sessions to optimize treatment as usual for adolescents with overweight and obesity. The aims of this paper are twofold: (1) to describe the study protocol of the APOLO-Teens randomized controlled effectiveness trial and (2) to present baseline descr...

Proposal of a New Standardized Freeze-Thawing Technical Protocol for Leucocyte-...

A human platelet-rich plasma (PRP) concentrate can be defined as a preparation of autologous human plasma with increased platelet concentration produced by centrifugation of a larger volume of a patient's own blood. Platelets contain a plethora of growth factors in their α-granules that are concentrated through the centrifugation process in order to then be injected in supraphysiologic amounts to an injury site...

A Giant Hand Lipoma As a Rare Cause of Secondary Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - a Cas...

Introduction: Lipomas are a rare cause of compressive neuropathy and they lead to atypical clinical presentation that can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome. Case presentation: The authors describe a rare presentation of a carpal tunnel syndrome recurrence after a hand giant lipoma, presenting with rapidly compression neuropathy of the median nerve, 6 months after de primary surgery. Discussion: Lipomas are common be...

Is It Safe to Perform an Early Arthroscopy After a Traumatic Hip Dislocation Wi...

Hip arthroscopy is useful in the treatment of several intra-articular pathologies, however, its use in high-energy hip and pelvis injuries raises concerns about fluid extravasion and stability of the pelvic ring. We present our arthroscopic surgical technique (initial access to the peripheral compartment) to remove intra-articular loose bodies and treat associated lesions, as well as our concerns with the techn...

Ingestão nutricional em prevenção cardiovascular

Em Portugal e noutros países economicamente mais desenvolvidos, as doenças cardiovasculares representam a principal causa de mortalidade por doenças não transmissíveis. A sua etiologia é multifatorial mas pensa‑se que os estilos de vida, nomeadamente uma alimentação saudável seja fundamental para a prevenção primária e secundária das doenças cardiovasculares. Neste trabalho foi realizada uma revisão da literatu...
