The relationship between depression and risk of violence in portuguese communit...

Background: Mental disorders are highly prevalent in older people, being depression a predominant disorder. Evidence points to a possible relationship between depression and violence against older people. Nonetheless, the role of the depressive symptomology severity in the risk of violence against older people remains unclear. Thus, this study’s main objective was to analyze the relationship between geriatric d...

Friends with benefits: An inside look of periodontal microbes’ interactions usi...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has proven to be particularly useful to describe the microbial composition and spatial organization of mixed microbial infections, as it happens in periodontitis. This scoping review aims to identify and map all the documented interactions between microbes in periodontal pockets by the FISH technique. Three electronic sources of evidence were consulted in search of suit...

Determination of the absolute configuration of bioactive indole-containing pyra...

In recent decades, fungi-derived naturally occurring quinazolines have emerged as potential drug candidates. Nevertheless, most studies are conducted for bioactivity assays, and little is known about their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) properties. To perform metabolic studies, the synthesis of the naturally occurring quinazolinone, fiscalin B (1), and its chloro derivative, 4-((1H...

SIRT1 and mTOR interplay in bladder cancer: a potential therapeutic target

Dieulafoy's Lesion: The Role of Endoscopic Ultrasonography as a Roadmap

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: correlation between histogram analysis of app...

Purpose: To explore the role of histogram analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) MRI maps based on entire tumor volume data in determining pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNT) grade. Methods and Materials: Retrospective evaluation of 22 patients with PNTs included low-grade (G1; n = 15), intermediate-grade (G2; n = 4), and high-grade (G3; n = 3) tumors. Regions of interest containing the lesion were ...

Shell's influence on drying kinetics, color and volumetric shrinkage of Castane...

Shell's influence on the drying behavior of two European chestnut (Castanea sativa mill.) varieties, Longal and Judia, was investigated in the present work. For this purpose, chestnuts of both varieties were dried in a hot air convection oven at 50.0 +/- 2.0 degrees C and air velocity of 1.0 +/- 0.1 m/s. The fruits were dried with and without outer shell, the axial dimensions, volumetric shrinkage and color bei...

Seasonal synchrony between Saissetia oleae and coccinellid species in Portugues...

The black scale, Saissetia oleae (Olivier) (Hemiptera Coceidae), is one of the main olive pests and coecinellids are among the principal predators that feed on scales. The relationships between the temporal abundance or live common coccinellid species [Chilocorus bipustulatus L. Scymnus subvillosus (Goeze), Scymnus mediterraneus lablokoff-Khnzorian, Scymnus interruptus (Goeze), Rhyzabius chrysomeloides (Herbst)...

Response of coccinellid community to the dimethoate application in olive groves...

In this work we assessed the effects of the application of dimethoate on the coccinellid community. The field work was carried out on a weekly basis, in two different olive groves, from April to November of 2002 and 2003 and captured coccinellids were identified to species level. Principal response curves (PRC) method was used to analyse the effect of the dimethoate application on the abundance of coccinellid s...
