Introduction: Cognitive impairment is a frequent and disabling consequence among survivors of critical illness, with memory dysfunction being one of the most prevalent and impactful sequelae after discharge from intensive care units. Memory disturbances can significantly affect recovery, autonomy, and overall quality of life. Although various instruments exist to assess memory in clinical practice, the extent t...

Tomato waste (TW) was employed as a sustainable source for the synthesis of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal carbonization (Mw-HTC) method, aiming at its valorization. Several amines were used as nitrogen additives to enhance the fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of CDs, and a set of reaction conditions, including additive/TW mass ratio (0.04–0.32), dwell time (15–60 min), and t...

COVID-19 pandemic led to health care access restrictions with potential delays in the diagnosis and treatment of other diseases. This retrospective study was based in the analysis of the access to ENT medical appointment in IPOLFG and the staging of larynx SCC in the first appointment, by comparing a period of 10 months after the outbreak beginning in Portugal and with an equal period in 2019. Number of medical...
Drought is a major threat to coffee, compromising the quality and quantity of its production. We have analyzed the core proteome of 18 Coffea canephora cv. Conilon Clone 153 and C. arabica cv. Icatu plants and assessed their responses to moderate (MWD) and severe (SWD) water deficits. Label-free quantitative shotgun proteomics identified 3000 proteins in both genotypes, but less than 0.8% contributed to ca. 20%...
Climate changes with global warming associated with rising atmospheric [CO2] can strongly impact crop performance, including coffee, which is one of the most world’s traded agricultural commodities. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to understand the mechanisms of heat tolerance and the potential role of elevated air CO2 (eCO2) in the coffee plant response, particularly regarding the antioxidant and other p...
