Alga Fucus sp. extracts to produce edible films
Martins, V.; Machado, M.; Costa, E.; Gomes, A. M.; Poças, F.; Pintado, M.; Morais, R. M. S. C.; Morais, A. M. M. B.Introduction: Macroalgae are a good source of nutrients, such as carbohydrates (dietary fiber and polysaccharides), proteins, lipids and minerals [1,2]. Fucus sp. is composed of valuable bioactive compounds, such as fucoxanthin, vitamins, water-soluble (vitamin C and of complex B) and fat-soluble (vitamins A, D, E and K), phenolic compounds, lipids (MUFA and PUFA), and polysaccharides (fucoidans and alginic aci...
Inflammatory potential of high-protein hybrid yogurt
Gigante, M. L.; Baptista, D. P.; Silva, K. K. P.; Machado, M.; Costa, E.; Pintado, M.Introduction: Partly replacing dairy proteins with plant proteins in processed foods is a potential alternative strategy for creating a more sustainable food system. Furthermore, with the growth of the elderly population worldwide, there is an interest in developing foods to promote the health of the elderly. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of partial replacement (50%) of dairy proteins by al...
Characterization of alga Fucus sp. extracts and residues and their application ...
Martins, V.; Coelho, M.; Machado, M.; Costa, E.; Gomes, A. M.; Poças, F.; Pintado, M.; Morais, R. M. S. C.; Morais, A. M. M. B.Introduction: Macroalgae are a good source of nutrients, such as carbohydrates (dietary fiber and polysaccharides), proteins, lipids and minerals, and they are sustainable, because they do not compete with food crops for arable land and potable water [1,2]. Fucus sp. is composed of valuable bioactive compounds, such as fucoxanthin, vitamins, water-soluble vitamins (vitamin C and of complex B) and fat-soluble vi...
Portuguese recommendations for the management of Raynaud’s phenomenon and digit...
Santiago, T.; Duarte, A. C.; Sepriano, A.; Castro, A.; Rosa, B.; Resende, C.; Oliveira, D.; Dourado, D.; Costa, E.; Santos, F. Cunha; Terroso, G.Objective: To develop evidence-based recommendations for the non-pharmacological and pharmacological management of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and digital ulcers (DUs) in patients with systemic sclerosis and other immune-mediated connective tissue diseases (CTDs). Methods: A task force comprising 21 rheumatologists, 2 surgeons (vascular and plastic), 2 nurses, and 1 patient representative was established. Followi...
Industry 5.0 and SDG 9: A symbiotic dance towards sustainable transformation
Costa, E.The convergence of Industry 5.0 (I5.0) and Sustainable Development Goal 9 (SDG 9) signifies a transformative shift in global industries, propelled by a new triple bottom line approach– human-centric, sustainable, and resilient. Departing from traditional models, I5.0, an evolution from Industry 4.0, strategically aligns with SDG 9 to reshape industrial landscapes and promote global sustainable, resilient, and i...
Rhinitis associated with asthma is distinct from rhinitis alone: The ARIA-MeDAL...
Bousquet, J.; Melén, E.; Haahtela, T.; Koppelman, G. H.; Togias, A.; Valenta, R.; Akdis, C. A.; Czarlewski, W.; Rothenberg, M.; Valiulis, A.Asthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis (AD) are interrelated clinical phenotypes that partly overlap in the human interactome. The concept of "one-airway-one-disease," coined over 20 years ago, is a simplistic approach of the links between upper- and lower-airway allergic diseases. With new data, it is time to reassess the concept. This article reviews (i) the clinical observations that led to Allergic Rhiniti...

Transformative Business Models for decarbonization: Insights from prize-winning...
Costa, E.; Fontes, M.; Bento, N.The increasing social pressure for decarbonization has placed businesses under considerable scrutiny to actively reduce carbon emissions. A critical step towards achieving this objective is to shift conventional production and consumption systems to more sustainable alternatives. Thus, there is an emergent need to understand the patterns and drivers of the transformative business models (BMs) that underpin that...
Gold nanoparticles as a part of a photothermal therapy system.
Ferreira-Gonçalves, T.; Costa, E.; Coelho, J. M. P.; Gaspar, M. M.; Ascenção, L.; Faísca, P.; Figueiredo, I.V.; García-González, C.A.; Ferreira, D.Introduction Photothermal therapy (PTT) is attracting increased attention for the treatment of superficial localized tumors, relying on the induction of local hyperthermia of tumor cells upon their irradiation with light beams1. PTT efficacy depends, however, on the heat generated and, on the depth reached by the light. Some strategies to improve PTT efficacy includes the use of the near infrared (NIR, 650 to 9...
