A Novel Plant-Based Protein Has Similar Effects Compared to Whey Protein on Bod...

IntroductionThe effects of dietary protein on body composition and physical performance seemingly depend on the essential amino acid profile of the given protein source, although controversy exists about whether animal protein sources may possess additional anabolic properties to plant-based protein sources. PurposeTo compare the effects of a novel plant-based protein matrix and whey protein supplementation on ...

Valor pronóstico de las evaluaciones del crecimiento cerebelar y de los movimie...

Introducción. La evaluación de los movimientos de ajetreo es sumamente sensible a la hora de predecir el desenlace a largo plazo o la parálisis cerebral del neonato prematuro, un tipo de paciente en el que se ha descrito el crecimiento anó- malo del cerebelo. Objetivo. Comparar el valor pronóstico de la determinación ecográfica del crecimiento anómalo del cerebelo y el de la eva - luación de los movimientos de ...

Estrutura e dinâmica do tecido ósseo

O tecido ósseo é uma forma especializada de tecido conjuntivo constituído por uma fase mineral, formada essencialmente por cristais de fosfato de cálcio, sob a forma de hidroxiapatite, que assenta numa organizada matriz colagénica. A combinação da fase mineral e da fase orgânica confere ao tecido ósseo propriedades únicas, que o tornam muito resistente às solicitações mecânicas. Apesar seu aspeto aparentemente ...

Factores preditivos da aderência dos pais a um programa de seguimento de crianç...

Introduction: Newborn infants of very low birth weight (VLBW) are at high risk of neurodevelopment disorder, justifying the implementation of early intervention programs for these children. Objectives: Evaluate the effects of long-term "Care Programme for Development” (CPD) applied to VLBW infants, analyze parents' compliance to follow-up and identify perinatal variables with influence on neurodevelopment. Meth...

Physicochemical characterization of biomaterials commonly used in dentistry as ...

The present work focuses on the physicochemical characterization of selected mineral-based biomaterials that are frequently used in dental applications. The selected materials are commercially available as granules from different biological origins: bovine, porcine, and coralline. Natural and calcined human bone were used for comparison purposes. Besides a classical rationalization of chemical composition and c...

Effect of the calcination temperature on the composition and microstructure of ...

The present work focus the study of cortical bone samples of different origins (human and animal) subjected to different calcination temperatures (600, 900 and 1200 °C) with regard to their chemical and structural properties. For that, not only standard techniques such as thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used but also me...

Nutritive sucking pattern from very low birth weight preterm to term newborn

The contribution of maturation and stimulation to the development of oral feeding was investigated, with two main objectives: (1) to analyze the nutritive sucking pattern of very-low-birth-weight newborns from their first oral feeding to the acquisition of independent oral feeding, and (2) to compare the nutritive sucking patterns of these babies, after feeding autonomy, with healthy term newborns. METHODS: Two...

Dual use of Diff-Quik-like stains for the simultaneous evaluation of human sper...

BACKGROUND: Sperm chromatin status and nuclear DNA damage can be detected using well-established assays. However, most techniques are time-consuming and/or involve elaborate protocols and equipment. We have recently developed a simple and fast method to monitor sperm chromatin status in field conditions using the Diff-Quik assay which is employed in fertility clinics to assess sperm morphology with standard bri...
