The worldwide incidence of animal poisoning is unknown. Despite reports pieced together by networks of veterinary clinics and poison control centers, their coverage is usually limited due to widespread under-reporting of cases (1–3). There are several reasons for this reality, being one of the major the wide gaps of knowledge regarding toxicosis agents and their profile (particularly in terms of toxicity mechan...
Background: Tea and herbal infusions (THIs) consumption is recognized for its beneficial effects, which are attributed to the antioxidant properties of phenolic compounds [1–3].The wide diversity of THIs available in market and the absence or failure in quality control can expose the population to health risks [3]. Moreover, uncontrolled consumption may cause toxicity or lack of the expected benefits. Therefore...
Nowadays, companies are faced with an increasingly higher level of competition while frying to adapt to the exigencies imposed by the Industry 4.0, regarding its usually referred dimensions and pillars, among which one that although is not so often referred is also expressing an increasing visibility and importance, related to collaboration, and more specifically to collaborative decision making and co-working....
This report describes a template-mediated self-assembly synthesis, full characterization, and structural features of two new silver-based bioactive coordination polymers (CPs) as well their immobilization into acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (ESOA) biopolymer films for antimicrobial applications. The 3D silver(I) CPs [Ag4(8-H2pma)2]n·4nH2O (1) and [Ag5(6-H0.5tma)2(H2O)4]n·2nH2O (2) were generated from AgNO3 an...

The incidence of cancer is increasing and with it also the consumption of anti-cancer drugs. As with other drugs, these compounds are not completely metabolized and are excreted through the urine, ultimately reaching waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). Anti-cancer drugs are emerging pollutants, reinforcing the need for developing effective treatment or removal strategies. This work aims to contribute to the d...

The aim of the study was to examine the effect of the sequence order of concurrent training on physical performance in students. 31 subjects were recruited from a Portuguese public high school and were randomly divided in strength training followed by endurance exercise group (GSE, n=12) and endurance followed by strength training group (GAS, n=11). The training program was performed during physical education c...
Recent genetic studies have revealed an association between polymorphisms at the ADAMTS7 gene locus and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. Functional studies have shown that a CAD-associated polymorphism (rs3825807) affects ADAMTS7 maturation and vascular smooth muscular cell (VSMC) migration. Here, we tested whether ADAMTS7 (A/G) SNP is associated with cardiovascular (CV) survival in patients with established...
