Grape stems as sources of tryptophan and selenium: functional properties and an...

The Douro Demarcated Region's winery industry produces million tonnes of by-products annually, making their reuse essential to minimize environmental impact. Grape stems, rich in bioactive compounds and nutrients, have demonstrated potential health benefits. This study analysed four red grape stems from the Douro region to assess their nutritional value and potential health benefit. Tryptophan, selenium, and ph...

Recent land use and land cover pressures on Iberian peatlands

Iberian peatlands have been severely affected by land use and land cover (LULC) changes. Despite these pressures, some peatlands persist in the region, although their susceptibility to LULC change remains poorly understood. This study presents the most detailed and extensive distribution data for Iberian peatlands to date and analyzes the dynamics and drivers of LULC in Iberian peatlands and their surrounding a...

Multicentric Study on the Clinical Mycology Capacity and Access to Antifungal T...

The success of the clinical management of invasive fungal diseases (IFD) is highly dependent on suitable tools for timely and accurate diagnosis for effective treatment. An in-depth analysis of the ability of European institutions to promptly and accurately diagnose IFD was previously conducted to identify limitations and aspects to improve. Here, we evaluated and discussed the specific case of Portugal, for wh...

Metabolic regulation of the host-fungus interaction: from biological principles...

Fungal infections present a significant global public health concern, impacting over 1 billion individuals worldwide and resulting in more than 3 million deaths annually. Despite considerable progress in recent years, the management of fungal infections remains challenging. The limited development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches is largely attributed to our incomplete understanding of the pathoge...

A INVESTIGAÇÃO EM GEOGRAFIA FÍSICA EM PORTUGAL.

No século XXI, a implementação da educação doutoral em Geografia resultou num aumento do número de teses enquadradas na especialização em Geografia Física. No entanto, pouco é conhecido sobre a dinâmica inerente às técnicas de trabalho de campo, métodos e temas estudados. Com o objetivo de compreender melhor a tendência de aumento e evolução associada, este artigo analisa os 78 doutoramentos publicados em cinco...

Assessing the impacts of internal communication: employer branding and human re...

Human capital is considered the most important resource in any organization. However, most companies are concerned with external customer satisfaction, without devoting much attention to the satisfaction of their employees. Indisputably, employee satisfaction is fundamental and determines the success or failure of what the customer experiences. Technological developments have changed our lives and habits, and e...

Interstitial macrophages lead early stages of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis a...

A progressive fibrosing phenotype is critical in several lung diseases. It is irreversible and associated with early patient mortality. Growing evidence has revealed pulmonary macrophages’ role as modulators of the fibrotic processes. The proportion, phenotype, and function of alveolar (AM) and interstitial macrophages (IM) at the early stages of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis have not been clearly descri...

Myocardial deformation analysis using cardiac magnetic resonance in apical hype...

Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) has a broad phenotypic spectrum and still poses many diagnostic and prognostic challenges. Our team performed a retrospective study to examine the prognostic value of myocardial deformation obtained with cardiac magnetic resonance tissue tracking (CMR-TT) analysis in predicting adverse events in AHCM patients. We included patients with AHCM referred to CMR in our depart...
