Prickly Connections: Sociodemographic Factors Shaping Attitudes, Perception and...
Ribeiro, AM; Rodrigues, M; Brito, NV; Mateus, TLThe modern lifestyle of humans is leading to a limited exposure to nature. While several wild species are adapting and thriving in anthropic environments, natural history knowledge is declining, and positive attitudes and behaviours towards nature are facing challenges. Because anticipating attitudes and engendering broad-based support for nature-related measures requires a good grasp of social contexts, we set...
Impact of montelukast as add on treatment to the novel coronavirus pneumonia (C...
Tavares, M; Farraia, M; Silva, S; Ribeiro, AM; Severo, M; Paciência, I; Ribeiro, R; Hespanhol, V; Guimarães, T; Almeida, J; Magro, F; Sarmento, ABackground: Montelukast, a safe drug widely use in asthmatic patients, may be an adjuvant in the treatment of Covid-19, either by improving lung injury and inflammation, or by acting as an anti-viral drug. We aim to assess the efficacy and safety of montelukast as add-on treatment in patients with Covid-19. Methods: We propose a randomized, controlled, parallel, open-label trial involving 160 hospitalized adult...
The progress and application of vitamin E encapsulation-A review
Ribeiro, AM; Berta Nogueiro Estevinho; Fernando RochaVitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, discovered in 1922, that presents important physiological functions, including antioxidant, immunoregulatory, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotector capabilities. However, it is extremely sensitive to high temperatures, light, oxygen and alkaline conditions, which, together with its poor water solubility, can limit vitamin E applications. In this context, encapsulation emerges ...
Edible Films Prepared with Different Biopolymers, Containing Polyphenols Extrac...
Ribeiro, AM; Berta Nogueiro Estevinho; Fernando RochaEdible films and coatings can be used for packaging food, thus reducing the consumption of plastics in daily food products, and can also be enriched with active compounds to improve food functionality. The main goal of the current research was to produce edible films incorporating elderberry extract, an active ingredient rich in polyphenols that exhibits several therapeutic characteristics, to allow its protect...
In vitro evaluation of microparticles with Laurus nobilis L. extract prepared b...
Chaumun, M; Goelo, V; Ribeiro, AM; Fernando Rocha; Berta Nogueiro EstevinhoLaurus nobilis L. is an aromatic evergreen tree, rich in phenolic compounds that grant it therapeutic properties (e.g. antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiviral). However, polyphenols are very sensitive to external conditions, being necessary to develop an adequate delivery system to protect these active ingredients, reducing their reactivity with external factors, and allowing their release at the right pla...
Microencapsulation of Vitamin A by spray-drying, using binary and ternary blend...
Ribeiro, AM; Shahgol, M; Berta Nogueiro Estevinho; Fernando RochaVitamin A is a bioactive compound responsible for many biological functions being, for that reason, extremely beneficial for the human organism. However, its sensitivity to certain adverse conditions as well as their insolubility in water, make infeasible their direct application into functional products. In this context, in the current work, vitamin A was encapsulated by spray-drying, using different blends of...

Avaliação e Registo da Dor de Modo Sistemático
Marques, AC; Ribeiro, AM; Mendes, M; Rodrigues, SAA Dor é considerada o 5º Sinal Vital. Deve ser avaliada e registada ao mesmo tempo que os outros sinais vitais. Contudo, de acordo com a nossa experiência profissional apercebemo-nos que nem sempre se verifica este facto. Tendo em conta a importância do tema, realizámos este estudo em que pretendemos conhecer se a equipa de enfermagem efectiva a avaliação e o registo da dor de modo sistemático. Para tal, utiliz...
