Mushroom-derived polysaccharides as bioactive agents for skin regeneration: eva...

Mushroom polysaccharides have emerged as promising bioactive agents for enhancing skin regeneration. This study evaluates three polysaccharide-rich fractions (SB, SC, RD) obtained by hot water and alkaline extractions from Coriolus versicolor, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Hericium erinaceus. Their potential to promote skin repair was investigated by analyzing effects on cell proliferation and migration, immune modu...

DOP56 Fibrosis-related transcriptome unveils a distinctive matrix remodelling p...

Fibrosis underlies most of CD complications requiring surgery, such as intestinal strictures and penetrating events. We previously demonstrated there were no histopathological differences on transmural fibrosis and fibromuscular changesbetween penetrating and stricturing ileal CD. This study aimed to investigate and compare the fibrosis-related transcriptomic profiles of penetrating and stricturing ileal CD.

D3S: Decision support system for sectorization

Sectorization problems refer to dividing a large set, area, or network into smaller parts concerning one or more objectives. A decision support system (DSS) is a relevant tool for solving these problems, improving optimisation procedures, and finding feasible solutions more efficiently. This paper presents a new web-based Decision Support System for Sectorization (D3S). D3S is designed to solve sectorization pr...

An investigation of digital skills of therapeutic radiographers/radiation thera...

This study aims to assess the proficiency level of digital skills, the factors influencing that level and the training needs of Therapeutic Radiographers/Radiation Therapists (TR/RTTs), due to the differences in technology availability and accessibility, variations in the regulation and education of TR/RTTs in European countries, and the lack of a digital skills framework. An online survey was distributed to TR...

A Social Anxiety Mobile Intervention for College Students Attending Therapy: A ...

Social anxiety is significantly prevalent among college students and frequently leads to school dropout and academic underachievement. Since university counseling services are often overburdened, a mobile-based cognitive behavioral intervention was designed to support students attending therapy for social anxiety and therapists. Our main goals are to evaluate usability and acceptability of this technological sy...

Assessment of multiple mycotoxins in maize flour samples from Portugal under Sa...

One of the most relevant problems in stored grains is the contamination by insects and mycotoxin-producing fungi. Tribolium castaneum is one of the most common insect pests of stored products. Its presence makes cereals more susceptible to the spread of the fungi Aspergillus flavus, which may produce mycotoxins. The aim of this work was to evaluate the mycotoxin profile of maize flour infested by T. castaneum a...

Functional properties of transparent ZnO thin films synthetized by using spray ...

Spray pyrolysis is a promising method for producing thin, transparent films on glass substrates. ZnO thin films synthesized by this method exhibit high crystallinity, adhesion and chemical resistance. They also possess the ability to degrade water pollutants and exhibit antibacterial properties under UV light. The crystalline structure of these films has been studied using grazing X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), ato...
