In this review, we summarize and discuss indexes that have been used in epidemiological studies and in the clinical practice
This paper reports the use of activated carbons made from novel agriculture and industrial wastes, namely sunflower, vine shoots, and coffee endocarp, to remove two high-priority contaminants: phenol and mercury species (under different forms) from aqueous solutions. The activated carbons were used as prepared and also modified with nitric acid and triethylenediamine in order to explore additional adsorption me...
This study aimed to identify from different stakeholders the benefits and obstacles of implementing precision medicine in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and to build consensus about a way forward in order to treat, prevent, or even reverse this disease.Implementing precision medicine is one solution to tackle the high unmet need of new DKD treatment. A clear definition of precision medicine and its different com...
The aim of this work was to test activated carbons derived from hydrochars produced from sunflower stem, olive stone and walnut shells, as adsorbents for emerging contaminants in aqueous solution, namely fluoxetine and nicotinic acid. The adsorption capacity was determined by the chemical nature of the adsorbents, namely the presence of specific functional groups and their positive or negative ionization in aqu...
Determination of Blood Glucose, or how Chemistry Helps to Improve the Quality of Life of People with Diabetes. In this paper, the main methods for the determination of blood glucose are briefly described. Historical, current and future methods are presented giving special emphasis to its importance for the quality of life of people with diabetes.
O futsal é um desporto com um ritmo muito elevado e onde os jogadores podem jogar muitos minutos ou permanecer no banco, sendo assim difícil antecipar o gasto energético. A metodologia usada para a gestão da diabetes permite evitar ao máximo as hipoglicemias, sendo os ajustes efetuados antes, durante e após os jogos, onde já temos a informação do desgaste de cada jogador. Ao desgaste físico é preciso adicionar ...
Artigo sobre os direitos e deveres das pessoas com diabetes.
O tratamento das pessoas com diabetes deve incorporar uma visão holística que vai muito além da farmacologia e afins. Deve considerar outros factores, de igual importância, tais como actividade física, bem-estar emocional e psicológico e a presença de outras doenças. Sendo a diabetes uma doença crónica o seu tratamento implica um seguimento médico de longa duração onde o conhecimento da pessoa e do seu contexto...
