Dietary Inflammatory Index and disease activity in patients with IBD: is there ...

The Relevance of Hand Mobility and Functionality Surveillance in Patients with ...

Introduction: Systemic sclerosis causes skin thickening, Raynaud’s phenomenon, visceral damage, and musculoskeletal issues. Hand impairment, affecting about 90% of patients, limits mobility, dexterity, and grip strength, significantly impacting daily life, with few treatment options. This study aims to characterize hand function in patients with Systemic Sclerosis and, secondarily, to describe those undergoing ...

Dietary inflammatory potential: a comprehensive approach to the inclusion of fl...

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) has been widely used to estimate dietary inflammation. However, most studies do not consider the six classes of flavonoids (6F) included in the original DII. This study aimed to develop two new tools, the Complete-DIP (CDIP) and Short-DIP (SDIP), to estimate the Energy-adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Potential (DIP) in adults while exp...

Port request classification automation through NLP

This project describes a suggested prototype to carry out the automatic classification of requests from a Port Help Desk. It intents to ascertain if the implementation of this framework is viable for this sector. For this purpose different models were employed, such as SVM, Decision Tree, Random Forest, LSTM, BERT and a SVM hierarchical model. To verify their efficiency these models were evaluated using Precisi...

Developmental predictors of mathematics achievement at the end of Year 1

This study examined the predictive role of child cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioural dimensions assessed at the age of 4½, as well as of the traditional variables related to academic school readiness before the entry to primary school, on mathematics achievement at the end of Year 1. A sample of 58 Portuguese children and their parents participated in this longitudinal study. Initial correlations indi...

Non-Invasive heart failure telemonitoring: A crossover technological Trial

Associations of medicine use and ejection fraction with the coexistence of frai...

BackgroundFrailty and sarcopenia have been extensively studied in heart failure (HF) patients, but their coexistence is unknown. The aim of this work is to describe the coexistence of these conditions in a sample of HF outpatients and its association with the use of medication and left-ventricular ejection fraction.MethodsParticipants in this cross-sectional study were recruited from a HF outpatients' clinic in...

Dysphagia in the elderly and its implications in the administration of oral dos...

Dysphagia is defined as difficulty in swallowing and is more prevalent in advanced ages. To overcome this difficulty, the elderly resort to altering the physical form of the medication, resulting in consequences for themselves and for the therapy.

Gaining insight into the photophysical properties of a coumarin STP ester with ...

Coumarins have a long history as fluorescent dyes.1 These benzopyrones are widely distributed in nature and new ones are continuously being synthesized and commercialized due to their excellent light stability and the relative ease in tuning their photophysical properties by chemical substitution.2–4 Coumarins that favor reactions of interest with target biomolecules, metals or reactive groups have been extensi...

SUMPs implementation: Designation of capacity gaps of local authorities in the ...

There are numerous initiatives at the European level that are aimed at increasing the capacity of cities with regard to sustainable mobility planning by developing guidelines and various forms of training materials. An important prerequisite for systematic capacity building is to understand what capacity actually means in the context of mobility planning and which concrete factors influence the ability to shape...
