Nutritional composition of commercially sourced meat from two anatomical locati...
Antunes, I.C.; Roseiro, L.C.; Gonçalves, H.; Gonçalves, E.; Soares, A.; Alegria, C.; Alvarenga, N.; Reis, J.; Oliveira, Margarida; Dias, IgorRegenerative agriculture approaches in livestock production may help produce animal protein that aligns with increasingly demanding sustainability criteria. This study compared commercially sourced beef from regenerative farming systems (RFS; n = 10; Longissimus lumborum, n = 5; Splenius capitis, n = 5) and intensive systems (IS; n = 6; Longissimus lumborum, n = 3; Splenius capitis, n = 3), evaluating the effec...
Multi-sided platforms as catalysts for responsible innovation in healthcare
Tria, Gemma; Jacinto, Maria João; Oliveira, Margarida; Canhão, Helena; Oliveira, PedroHealthcare systems face increasing pressure from aging populations, chronic diseases, and the demand for accessible, high-quality care. Yet many innovations fail to address the needs of vulnerable groups. This study examines Responsible Innovation (RI) in healthcare through the Patient Innovation (PI) multi-sided platform (MSP) case. Using a mixed-methods approach, it explores how patient-driven solutions can b...

The online consumer is increasingly knowledgeable and demanding. That’s why in online shopping it is important to maintain the good relationship between the company and the customer. This investigation aims to study the importance of the e-commerce in the context of a COVID-19 pandemic...
Nutritional and microbial quality of edible insect powder from plant-based indu...
Andrade, R.; Martins, L.L.; Mourato, M.P.; Lourenço, H.; Ramos, A.C.; Roseiro, C.; Pereira, N.; Costa, G.J.; Lucas, R.; Alvarenga, N.; Reis, J.Edible insect powder, particularly from the cricket Acheta domesticus L., is a promising sustainable alternative to traditional livestock-derived protein. Insects provide high protein content, fibre, and essential minerals, making them suitable for food applications. This study investigates the viability of alternative diets for rearing A. domesticus. Two experimental diets were tested: RI [50% horticultural by...

Costa, R. Pereira da; Bandeira, Matilde; Silvério-António, Manuel; Lopes, Ana Rita; Santos, Filipe Cunha; Pereira, Paulo J.; Raimundo, Diana BelchiorBackground: Sjogren's disease (SjD) systemic affection is being increasingly recognized. The prevalence of peripheral (PNS) and central (CNS) nervous system involvement in SjD and risk factors for these manifestations have not been clearly established. Objectives: To define the clinical characteristics of SjD patients with CNS and/or PNS involvement and to find predictors of this involvement.

Bandeira, Matilde; Silvério-António, Manuel; Costa, Roberto Pereira da; Lopes, Ana Rita; Santos, Filipe Cunha; Pereira, Paulo J.Aims: Sjögren's disease (SjD) is a complex disease with a wide variety of manifestations and outcomes. We recently created PORTRESS, the Portuguese SjD registry within Reuma.pt. We aim to describe this registry and characterize our national cohort. Methods: We included patients with a clinical diagnosis of SjD, registered in PORTRESS up to November 2023. Demographic, clinical, treatment, and patient-reported ou...
Graphene oxide and its viability as a constituent in nanofertilizers
Saraiva, Raquel; Ferreira, Q.; Rodrigues, G.C.; Oliveira, MargaridaThe use of chemical fertilizers and phytochemicals is a common practice in major crop production, promoting increased production per hectare but also representing a growing environmental concern. In response to this problem, this work carried out an ecotoxicity study and characterized the changes in soil properties resulting from the use of graphene oxide (GO), a component used in the formulation of new nanofer...
A comprehensive ecotoxicological evaluation of a treated olive mill wastewater ...
Pinto, José N.; Pereira, Andreia; Silva, Ana Rita R.; Cardoso, Diogo N.; Mostafaie, Amid; Campos, Fábio; Rehan, Iryna; Moreira, Olga; Lopes, Ivã GuidiniOlive mill wastewaters (OMWWs) are an environmental problem in the Mediterranean region, and it is crucial to explore strategies for their treatment and repurposing. The chemical precipitation technique (CPT) has been presented as a cost-effective wastewater treatment solution that might be applied to OMWW. The CPT-resulting precipitant subproducts (sludge) may be reprocessed (e.g., agricultural fertilizer and/...

A reflection on explanatory factors for COVID-19: A comparative study between c...
Santos, Eulália; Oliveira, Margarida; Ratten, Vanessa; Tavares, Fernando Oliveira; Tavares, Vasco CapelaThe COVID-19 pandemic is the biggest problem facing the world nowadays. Each country in the world has its own characteristics, which means that its governments, at different rhythms, adopt identical measures to combat this new virus. This article aims to perform a comparative study between countries with a population similar to the Portuguese in number of inhabitants and to find out which factors may explain th...
