Miravent, Sérgio; Lobo, Manuel; Figueiredo, Teresa; Jiménez, Carmen; Almeida, RuiBackground and Aims: The use of ultrasound screening is primarily facilitated by point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) and its integration into healthcare systems is a result of the versatility of this imaging technique. This study intends to compare the accuracy and pertinence of sonographic findings obtained by a sonographer in a Basic Emergency Service (BES) with that of radiologists at referral hospital (RH) in ...
Nutritional, technological, and sensory changes induced by different drying met...
Jimenez, Dolores; Lobo, Manuel; Motta, Carla; Castanheira, Isabel; Sammán, NormaA fresh baby puree (FP) was elaborated with quinoa and amaranth flours (native and germinated), and the nutritional, technological, and sensory changes induced by different drying methods were investigated: lyophilization (LD), forced convection (CD), and extrusion (ED). FP had an amino acids content appropriate for baby consumption; ED had lower digestibility (75%) compared with CD (82%) and LD (83%). ED had t...
