Mediterranean Diet-Based Sustainable Healthy Diet and Multicomponent Training C...
Sampaio, J; Pizarro, A; Pinto, J; Oliveira, B; Moreira, A; Padrão, P; Guedes de Pinho, P; Moreira, P; Barros, R; Carvalho, J"Background: Diet and exercise interventions have been associated with improved body composition and physical fitness. However, evidence regarding their combined effects in older adults is scarce. This study aimed to investigate the impact of a combined 12-week Mediterranean diet-based sustainable healthy diet (SHD) and multicomponent training (MT) intervention on body composition, anthropometry, and physical f...
Combined mediterranean diet-based sustainable healthy diet and multicomponent t...
Sampaio, J; Pinto, J; Pizarro, A; Oliveira, B; Moreira, A; Padrão, P; Moreira, P; Guedes de Pinho, P; Carvalho, J; Barros, RBackground and aims: Healthy dietary patterns and exercise practices have been associated with improved metabolic and inflammatory profiles. However, studies regarding the combined effect of these interventions on plasma biomarkers and metabolome in older adults are sparser. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a combined Mediterranean Diet-based Sustainable Healthy Diet (SHD) and Mult...
First Insight into Lignin Valorization as a Promising Biopolymer for the Modula...
Pereira, AR; Brandao, E; Pinto, J; de Pinho, PG; Carina Costa; Rodrigues, AE; Michelin, M; Soares, S; de Freitas, V; Mateus, N; Oliveira, JLignosulfonate (LS), kraft lignin (KL), and organosolv lignin (OL) were evaluated as potential modulating agents of the physicochemical properties of Port wine at two different concentrations for 7 and 30 days. KL and LS demonstrated the ability to remove proteins and potentiate the anthocyanin concentration. LS reduced the tannin content and the interaction of salivary acidic proline-rich proteins with wine ph...

Return to Play After the Diagnosis of Reactive Arthritis in a Professional Foot...
Fernandes, A; Cunha, P; Pinto, J; Duarte, C; Estaca, A; Pereira, T; Bettencourt, M; e Silva, MR; Fernandes, SIn professional football, most of the injuries are traumatic; however, these athletes may suffer from rheumatologic diseases, that may present as sports-related injuries. Reactive arthritis (ReA) is classified as a sub-group of the spondyloarthritis family and is relatively rare. In this article, we highlight the successful return to play (RTP) process after the ReA diagnosis in an elite football player in the ...
Recurrent Appendicitis in Children: The Impact of a Poorly Known Disease
Monteiro, S; Capela, M; Araújo, AR; Tavares, M; Pinto, JChronic and recurrent appendicitis is rare in pediatric patients and can be easily misdiagnosed due to its unusual presentation and low incidence rate. We present the case of an 11-year-old male with recurrent right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain persisting for 19 months. The patient experienced pain flare-ups accompanied by paleness and gait limp, without fever or other symptoms. Despite extensive medical examinati...
Multidimensional health impact of multicomponent exercise and sustainable healt...
Sampaio, J; Joana Carvalho; Andreia Pizarro; Pinto, J; Moreira, A; Padrão, Patrícia; de Pinho, PG; Moreira, Pedro; Barros, RenataData concerning the combined effect of diet and exercise interventions on overall health in the elderly are scarce. The MED-E project's primary aim is to assess the effect of the different 3-month sustainable healthy diet (SHD) and multicomponent training (MT) interventions on several health outcomes in the elderly. A quasi-experimental study assigned older adults into four groups: (1) SHD, (2) MT, (3) SHD + MT...
A Comprehensive Look at In Vitro Angiogenesis Image Analysis Software
Pereira, M; Pinto, J; Arteaga, B; Guerra, A; Jorge, RN; Monteiro, FJ; Salgado, CLOne of the complex challenges faced presently by tissue engineering (TE) is the development of vascularized constructs that accurately mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) of native tissue in which they are inserted to promote vessel growth and, consequently, wound healing and tissue regeneration. TE technique is characterized by several stages, starting from the choice of cell culture and the more appropriate ...
Vitamin D-related polymorphisms and vitamin D levels as risk biomarkers of COVI...
Freitas, AT; Calhau, C; Antunes, G; Araújo, B; Bandeira, M; Barreira, S; Bazenga, F; Braz, S; Caldeira, D; Santos, SCR; Faria, A; Faria, D; Fraga, MVitamin D is a fundamental regulator of host defences by activating genes related to innate and adaptive immunity. Previous research shows a correlation between the levels of vitamin D in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and the degree of disease severity. This work investigates the impact of the genetic background related to vitamin D pathways on COVID-19 severity. For the first time, the Portuguese populatio...
Targeted gene next-generation sequencing panel in patients with advanced lung a...
Fernandes, MGO; Jacob, M; Martins, N; Moura, CS; Guimarães, S; Reis, J; Justino, A; Pina, MJ; Cirnes, L; Sousa, C; Pinto, J; Marques, JA; Machado, JCIdentification of targetable molecular changes is essential for selecting appropriate treatment in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: In this study, a Sanger sequencing plus Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) sequential approach was compared with a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based approach for the detection of actionable genomic mutations in an experimental cohort (EC) of 117 pati...
