Precision agriculture aims to detect differences in plant development within adefined area, allowing to adjust production techniques according to the plantdevelopment. Plant development is evaluated by remote detection allowing theapplication of variable rate application techniques. The efficiency of precisionagriculture is correlated with large areas of the same crop where plantsdevelopment is highly correlate...
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...
The recent interest in wild edible plants is associated with their health benefits, which are mainly due to their richness in antioxidant compounds, particularly phenolics. Nevertheless, some of these compounds are metabolized after ingestion, being transformed into metabolites frequently with lower antioxidant activity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of the digestive process on the ...
Polar marine ecosystems have global ecological and economic importance because of their unique biodiversity and their major role in climate processes and commercial fisheries, among others. Portugal and Spain have been highly active in a wide range of disciplines in marine biology of the Antarctic and the Arctic. The main aim of this paper is to provide a synopsis of some of the results and initiatives undertak...

Os pneumatocelos são cistos preenchidos por ar que se desenvolvem no parênquima pulmonar geralmente no decurso de uma pneumonia. Embora vários agentes possam estar implicados, a etiologia mais frequente é a pneumonia estafilocócica. O tratamento é o da pneumonia de base com antibioterapia adequada. O seu curso natural é a resolução lenta sem sequelas. Os autores apresentam um caso clínico de uma lactente de um ...
