The interplay between climate change and ageing: A systematic review of health ...

Climate change and rapid population ageing pose challenges for communities and public policies. This systematic review aims to gather data from studies that present health indicators establishing the connection between climate change and the physical and mental health of the older population (>= 65 years), who experience a heightened vulnerability to the impacts of climate change when compared to other age coho...

Development of colloidal lignin particles through particle design strategies an...

Colloidal lignin particles (CLPs) have increased interest as green and sustainable materials for Pickering stabilizers, with particle design being an important step towards their effective use. In this context, the antisolvent precipitation method was selected to conduct a study aiming at understanding the effect of process variables (initial lignin concentration, antisolvent pH, final ethanol concentration, an...

Até onde irá o Terreno Finisterra? Proposta de correlação com os “Terrenos” Var...

O Maciço Ibérico foi subdividido num conjunto de terrenos tectonoestra tigráficos com características próprias, entre os quais os Terrenos Finisterra (TF) e Ibérico (TI). O TF contacta com TI, nomeadamente com a Zonas Centro Ibérica e Ossa-Morena, através de uma zona de cisalhamento, a Zona de Cisalhamento Porto-Tomar-Ferreira do Alentejo. O TF apresenta características que contrastam com as que especializam o ...

Crustal stretching process denounced by mafic magmatism in the Finisterra Terra...

The occurrence of a new tectono-stratigraphic terrane (Finisterra Terrane), located in the westernmost domains of the Porto-Tomar-Ferreira do Alentejo Shear Zone, has been highlighted in the last few years. Nevertheless, there are several gaps in the geological knowledge of this Terrane, including the interpretation of existing data in the framework of the new tectono-stratigraphic terrane proposal, with an ind...

Topical minoxidil-loaded nanotechnology strategies for alopecia

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a multifactorial and age-related condition characterized by substantial hair loss affecting both men and women. Conventional treatments include the use of topical minoxidil (MNX) formulations to stimulate hair growth and restore hair condition. However, those treatments are associated with limited performance and a lack of tolerability and compliance due to the emergence of advers...

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis as Rare Presentation of Herpes Simplex Virus Encepha...

Herpes simplex virus 1 is a prevalent neurotropic pathogen that infects and establishes latency in peripheral sensory neurons. It can migrate into the central nervous system and cause encephalitis. The association between herpes simplex virus encephalitis and cerebral venous thrombosis is rare, with a very limited number of case reports described in the literature, despite the recognized thrombogenic effects of...

Comparison of ELISA and HPLC-MS methods for the determination of exenatide in b...

The development of biotechnology-based active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as GLP-1 analogs, brought changes in type 2 diabetes treatment options. For better therapeutic efficiency, these active pharmaceutical ingredients require appropriate administration, without the development of adverse effects or toxicity. Therefore, it is required to develop several quantification methods for GLP-1 analogs products, ...
