Mapping the evidence of the effects of environmental factors on the prevalence ...

Background: Antibiotic resistance increasingly threatens the interconnected health of humans, animals, and the environment. While misuse of antibiotics is a known driver, environmental factors also play a critical role. A balanced One Health approach-including the environmental sector-is necessary to understand the emergence and spread of resistance. Methods: We systematically searched English-language literatu...

Unraveling the genome-wide repertoire of the novel chromosomally encoded mcr-8....

The increasing rates of colistin resistance worldwide poses a significant threat to public health. While the most commonly described variant is , other variants such as have been detected, typically associated with . However, little is known about the prevalence of in other bacterial species and environmental reservoirs. This study aimed to characterize a novel subvariant identified in a strain isolated from ma...

Genomic epidemiology and resistome dynamics of species in a Portuguese Open Air...

Interconnected reservoirs contribute to the global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), including carbapenem- and colistin-resistant , highlighting the need for a One Health approach. We assessed the genomic epidemiology, diversity and AMR mechanisms of spp. across interconnected human, animal, plant, and environmental reservoirs in a Portuguese Open Air Laboratory. Over a one year monitoring period, sampl...

Respiratory rehabilitation in a person with Covid-19:: a case study

Introduction: The pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus has had a serious impact on people's lives. (Tele)rehabilitation can be an opportunity in health service delivery, minimizing functional decline and optimizing recovery. Objective/s: To describe the gains in knowledge and learning skills in symptom control and functional recovery with a (Tele)rehabilitation program in a person with functional disability af...

Living Donors’ Age Modifies the Impact of Pre-Donation Estimated Glomerular Fil...

Background: The global scarcity of organs for kidney transplants (KTs) has led to the increased acceptance of living donors (LDs) with minor abnormalities to increase the donor pool.. We sought to evaluate the effects of some of these LDs' clinical characteristics (older age, borderline renal function, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, and obesity) on graft outcomes. Methods: We studied 352 recipients of LDK...

Mycopigments for a sustainable textile industry

The textile industry represents a very important economic sector is several countries, being also associated to a high environmental impact, caused by the production and use of hazardous compounds and synthetic dyes. Therefore, the demand for natural, harmless as well as sustainable dyes and pigments has been increasing tremendously across the world. Mycopigments are produced by fungi and have emerged worldwide...

Active layer and permafrost thermal regimes in the ice-free areas of Antarctica

Ice-free areas occupy <0.5% of Antarctica and are unevenly distributed across the continent. Terrestrial ecosystem dynamics in ice free areas are strongly influenced by permafrost and the associated active layer. These features are the least studied component of the cryosphere in Antarctica, with sparse data from permanent study sites mainly providing information related to the ground thermal regime and active ...

CT volumetry performs better than nuclear renography in predicting estimated re...

The evaluation of split renal function (SRF) is a critical issue in living kidney donations and can be evaluated using nuclear renography (NR) or computerized tomography (CT), with unclear comparative advantages. We conducted this retrospective study in 193 donors to examine the correlation of SRF assessed by NR and CT volumetry and compared their ability to predict remaining donor renal function at 1 year, thr...

Ectomycorrhizal fungi help the establishment of Quercus suber plantations under...

Federal intervention in Rio de Janeiro: reflections

The current research reflects about the Federal intervention on the public security in Rio de Janeiro, occurred in 2018. Thus, governamental data was gathered, as well authorities points of view directly aligned to the matter, like the chief of staff of the Brazilian Army. This work tried to understand the function of the Army in the society and what was the intention of the Brazilian State to deploy its Armed ...
