Metabolic Phenotypes in Asthmatic Adults: Relationship with Inflammatory and Cl...
Santos, A; Pité, H; Chaves-Loureiro, C; Rocha, SM; Taborda-Barata, LBronchial asthma is a chronic disease that affects individuals of all ages. It has a high prevalence and is associated with high morbidity and considerable levels of mortality. However, asthma is not a single disease, and multiple subtypes or phenotypes (clinical, inflammatory or combinations thereof) can be detected, namely in aggregated clusters. Most studies have characterised asthma phenotypes and clusters ...
Human volatilome analysis using eNose to assess uncontrolled asthma in a clinic...
Farraia, M; Cavaleiro Rufo, J; Paciência, I; Castro, Mendes, F; Rodolfo, A; Rama, T; Rocha, SM; Delgado, L; Brinkman, P; Moreira, ABackground Analyses of exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have shown promising results when distinguishing individuals with asthma. Currently, there are no biomarkers for uncontrolled asthma. Therefore, we aimed to assess, in a real-life clinical setting, the ability of the exhaled VOC analysis, using an electronic nose (eNose), to identify individuals with uncontrolled asthma. Methods A cross-sectional ...
Oxidative stress in asthmatic and non-asthmatic adolescent swimmers - a breatho...
Couto, M; Barbosa, C; Silva, D; Rudnitskaya, A; Delgado, L; Moreira, A; Rocha, SMWe hypothesize that oxidative stress induced by trichloramine exposure during swimming could be related to etiopathogenesis of asthma among elite swimmers. Aim: To investigate the effect of a swimming training session on oxidative stress markers of asthmatic compared to non‐asthmatic elite swimmers using exhaled breath (EB) metabolomics. Methods: Elite swimmers annually screened in our department (n=27) were in...

Chitosan-genipin film, a sustainable methodology for wine preservation
Nunes, C; Maricato, É; Cunha, Â; Rocha, MAM; Santos, S; Ferreira, P; Silva, MA; Rodrigues, A; Amado, O; Coimbra, J; Silva, D; Moreira, A; Mendo, SA novel approach is described using chitosan-genipin films as a sustainable method for wine preservation. Films prepared from fungi and from shrimp by-products showed similar mechanical and chemical properties. In addition, shrimp derived films showed no IgE positive reaction against shellfish allergenic compounds. The chitosan-genipin films were used to produce white wines without the addition of sulphur dioxi...
