Packaging atmosphere and confinement as key factors in shelf-life extension of ...

Live bivalve molluscs are highly valued for their nutritional, gastronomic, and commercial qualities. However, they are extremely perishable, which increases production losses and waste in the supply chain. This study aimed to evaluate the shelf-life and physiological quality of live Venerupis corrugata clams stored at 3 ± 1°C in different packaging systems evaluating the effect of high-oxygen modified atmosphe...

Extending the shelf-life of live clams, Venerupis corrugata - important aspects...

Venerupis corrugata (pullet carpet shell) is a premium native clam species in Portugal. This species is highly perishable, typically sold live within 3 or 4 days, posing a significant risk of loss. Therefore, efforts to extend its shelf-life are relevant. The impact of the storage temperature (3, 5, 8 and 12 °C) on clams in plastic net bags and the effect of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) were investigated...

Use of Gadolinium in Follow-Up MRI of Multiple Sclerosis Patients: Current Reco...

Multiple sclerosis is the most frequent demyelinating disease of the central nervous system and is characterized by early onset and progressive disability. Magnetic resonance imaging, due to its high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of demyelinating lesions, is the most useful diagnostic test for this disease, with the administration of gadolinium-based contrast agents being an important contributio...

Neoadjuvant gastric cancer treatment and associated nutritional critical domain...

(1) Background: Gastric cancer patients are known to be at a high risk of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and cachexia, and the latter impairs the patient’s nutritional status during their clinical course and also treatment response. A clearer identification of nutrition-related critical points during neoadjuvant treatment for gastric cancer is relevant to managing patient care and predicting clinical outcomes. The a...

Avelumab as first-line maintenance treatment in locally advanced or metastatic ...

This work provides a summary of guideline recommendations and an expert position on the use of maintenance avelumab therapy based on a review of current international clinical practice guidelines for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). A PubMed literature search was conducted in March 2022 (updated in July 2023) to identify guidelines for locally advanced or metastatic UC. An expert panel ...

Cultivo de bivalves em maternidade e critérios para a sua localização

A produção de bivalves na Europa é uma atividade muito importante em termos de quantidades produzidas, valor sócio-económico e de empregos diretos criados. As principais espécies cultivadas na Europa são o mexilhão, a ostra japonesa, a amêijoa japonesa e amêijoa boa e a vieira. Uma parte importante do cultivo de bivalves depende da produção de semente em maternidades para o seu posterior cultivo no meio natural...

Deteção da infeção por Perkinsus sp. em diferentes zonas de produção europeias ...

A amêijoa-boa, Ruditapes decussatus, é uma espécie nativa da Europa com um elevado valor gastronómico e económico. As populações naturais desta espécie estão a ser drasticamente reduzidas devido à sobre-exploração dos bancos naturais, à poluição, ao impacto dos fatores abióticos (entre eles, as variações significativas de temperatura, salinidade e pH), e a patologias causadas por bactérias, vírus e protozoários...

Pedobacter lusitanus sp. nov., isolated from sludge of a deactivated uranium mine

Strain NL19(T) is a Gram-stain-negative, aerobic bacterium that was isolated from sludge of a deactivated uranium mine in Portugal. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain NL19(T) is a member of the genus Pedobacter and closely related to the strains Pedobacter himalayensis MTCC 6384(T), Pedobacter cryoconitis DSM 14825(T), Pedobacter westerhofensis DSM 19036 (T) and Pedobacter hartonius DSM 19033(...
