Assessing the potential of brewer’s spent grain to enhance cookie physicochemic...
Nicolai, Marisa; Palma, Maria Lídia; Reis, Ricardo; Amaro, Rúben; Fernandes, Jaime; Gonçalves, Elsa M.; Silva, Mafalda; Lageiro, ManuelaBrewers’ spent grain (BSG), the major by-product of the brewery industry, has high nutritional value, making it suitable for upcycling into products such as healthy, and sustainable cookies. Nonetheless, the incorporation of BSG in cookies can impact their quality, given the increased fiber and protein content. This work explored the effect of replacing wheat flour with BSG at 50% and 75% in cookie formulations...

Biomechanical and clinical effects of spinal traction: enhancing lumbar health ...
Arieira, Ana Filipa Amorim; Fernandes, Nuno; Fernandes, Pedro; Silva, Filipe Samuel; Carvalho, Óscar Samuel Novais; Leal, Ana Isabel Neto CardosoIntroduction: Lumbar disc degeneration (DD), one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, disrupts spinal biomechanics, leading to pain, disability, and reduced quality of life. Low back pain (LBP) affects up to 80% of the global population [1]. This degeneration process reduces disc height, alters load distribution, and contributes to herniation and nerve impingement [2]. Spinal traction, a non-invasive ...
Peltier Cell Integration in Packaging Design for Minimizing Energy Consumption ...
Fernandes, Pedro; Gaspar, Pedro Dinis; Silva, Pedro D.This study proposes an innovative approach to reduce temperature fluctuations in refrigerated transport during loading and unloading, aiming to minimize food waste and optimize energy consumption in the food supply chain. The solution involves integrating Peltier cells into secondary and tertiary packaging to improve system efficiency and minimize temperature variations. Four distinct tests were conducted: a re...

Brás, Ana Rita; Fernandes, Pedro; Moreira, Tiago; Morales-Sanfrutos, Julia; Sabidó, Eduard; Antunes, Alexandra M. M.; Valente, Andreia; Preto, AnaColorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most deadly cancers worldwide. Current therapeutic strategies have low success rates and several side effects. This relevant clinical problem requires the discovery of new and more effective therapeutic alternatives. Ruthenium drugs have arisen as one of the most promising metallodrugs, due to their high selectivity to cancer cells. In this work we studied, for the first tim...
Evaluating data sharing of SARS-CoV-2 genomes for molecular epidemiology across...
Rito, Teresa; Fernandes, Pedro; Duarte, Raquel; Soares, PedroFollowing the emergence of COVID-19 in December 2019, caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the disease spread dramatically worldwide. The use of genomics to trace the dissemination of the virus and the identification of novel variants was essential in defining measures for containing the disease. We aim to evaluate the global effort to genomically characterize the circulating lineages of SARS-CoV-2, considerin...
