Dapagliflozin, a sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), has shown demonstrated benefits for renal and cardiovascular outcomes in large clinical trials. However, short-term concerns regarding its impact on renal function and electrolyte balance exist. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term effects of dapagliflozin on renal function and electrolyte balance in patients newly prescribed the medicat...
A Organização Mundial de Saúde define tuberculose zoonótica como a forma de tuberculose no Homem causada predominantemente por M. bovis, um membro do Complexo Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Contudo, outros membros daquele complexo, como M. caprae, apresentam tam- bém potencial zoonótico. Este trabalho incide sobre a tuberculose zoonótica por infeção Mycobacterium caprae na Europa e em Portugal, entre 2017 e 2023, ...
A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) inoculated with activated sludge and bioaugmented with a dye-decolorizing yeast strain—Yarrowia lipolytica (HOMOGST27AB) was assembled to form yeastbioaugmented aerobic granular sludge (AGS). The bioaugmented AGS-SBR was operated for the treatment of synthetic saline wastewater (12 g L1) intermittently fed with a reactive textile dye (Navy Everzol ED) at 25, 15, and 7.5 mg L1. D...

This article dedicates itself to the perception of female representation in the digital media. Besides a historical contextualization of feminism, conceptual approaches are presented, as well as the representation of women in conventional and digital media. In empirical terms, the work resorts to data collected through interviews with a professional group that studies gender issues and a popular group that uses...
Textile industry is an economic activity that produces high volumes of effluents used in fabric processing that are discharged in the environment [1]. These discharged effluents loaded with synthetic dyes and other chemicals, are resistant to biodegradation and persistent in water, and are responsible for toxicity and mutagenic effects on the aquatic life, causing a potential risk to the aquatic ecosystems [2]....
Textile industry is a worldwide economic activity that generates high volumes of harmful effluents used in fabric processing that are discharged in the environment causing potential damages to the aquatic ecosystems [1]. These discharged effluents loaded with synthetic dyes, salt and other chemicals, are resistant to biodegradation and persistent in water, and are responsible for toxicity and mutagenic effects ...

Introduction: Transmission of COVID-19 through close contact and droplets is well established, but the influence of aerosol and surface contamination remains to be determined. Literature is scarce and inconsistent about the viable virus particles free-distance from infected patients, as well as about different swabbing methods for surface contamination evaluation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the most ...
