Post-acute phase and sequelae management of epidermal necrolysis: an internatio...

Background Long-term sequelae are frequent and often disabling after epidermal necrolysis (Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)). However, consensus on the modalities of management of these sequelae is lacking. Objectives We conducted an international multicentric DELPHI exercise to establish a multidisciplinary expert consensus to standardize recommendations regarding management ...

Mediterranean Diet: The role of phenolic compounds from Aromatic Plant Foods

Today’s global food system aggravates climate change while failing in meeting SDG2 and more. Yet, some sustainable food cultures, such as the Mediterranean Diet (MD), are simultaneously safe, healthy, and rooted in biodiversity. Their wide range of fruits, herbs, and vegetables convey many bioactive compounds, often associated with colour, texture, and aroma. Phenolic compounds are largely responsible for such ...

Plano de atividades para a salvaguarda da dieta mediterrânica na região do Alga...

Este plano de atividade foi dinamizado e coordenado pela Universidade do Algarve (UAlg), em colaboração com todas as entidades regionais, assumindo e mantendo a estrutura base do PASDM 2018-2021, que define, de acordo com a UNESCO, os objetivos e as iniciativas para a Salvaguarda do Património Cultural Imaterial da Dieta Mediterrânica no âmbito dos seguintes vetores estratégicos: identificação, investigação e d...

On the development of Phenol-Formaldehyde resins using a new type of lignin ext...

Resole resins have many applications, especially for foam production. However, the use of phenol, a key ingredient in resoles, has serious environmental and economic disadvantages. In this work, lignin extracted from pine wood using a “green” solvent, levulinic acid, was used to partially replace the non-sustainable phenol. The physicochemical properties of this novel resin were compared with resins composed of...

Influence of wine pH and ethanol content on the fining efficacy of proteins fro...

Wine color and limpidity are important aspects of consumer preferences. The alteration of these parameters can damage wine’s appearance but also its mouthfeel characteristics due to its relationship with attributes such as bitterness and astringency. Fining is a practice usually used in enology to modulate undesirable wine organoleptic attributes. However, there are several factors that influence this technique...

Social mindfulness and prosociality vary across the globe

Humans are social animals, but not everyone will be mindful of others to the same extent. Individual differences have been found, but would social mindfulness also be shaped by one's location in the world? Expecting cross-national differences to exist, we examined if and how social mindfulness differs across countries. At little to no material cost, social mindfulness typically entails small acts of attention o...

Ultrasonic-assisted extraction and natural deep eutectic solvents combination: ...

The present study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of different natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) on the extraction of phenolic compounds from Lavandula pedunculata subsp. lusitanica (Chaytor) Franco, on the antioxidant activity, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and tyrosinase (Tyr) inhibitory capacities. Ten different NADES were used in this research and compared with con...

Impact of chitosan on plant tissue culture: recent applications

Chitosan is a very versatile biomaterial with countless applications in different fields. Due to its biodegradability, non-toxicity, and biocompatibility, the use of chitosan is associated with sustainable practices. When applied to plants, in an agricultural context, chitosan induces defense mechanisms, stress resistance, and increased productivity and it has proven to be a feasible alternative to harmful agro...

Physiological traits and oxidative stress markers during acclimatization of mic...

Plantago algarbiensis Samp. and Plantago almogravensis Franco are species endemic to Portugal at risk of global extinction. The aim of this study was to investigate the ex vitro performance of micropropagated P. algarbiensis and P. almogravensis plants in terms of survival, relative water content (RWC), photosynthetic pigment contents, H2O2 accumulation, activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CA...
