Oral health in inflammatory bowel disease: the overlooked impact and the potent...

Background: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), a chronic condition characterized by gastrointestinal inflammation, is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Emerging evidence suggests a “mouth-gut axis,” with the oral cavity reflecting extra-intestinal manifestations of IBD. This study evaluated the oral health status of IBD patients and the potential of salivary calprotectin (SCP) as a biomarker for a...

TAM pathway receptor proteins: differential expression in healthy human mastica...

Unraveling the extra virgin olive oil effect on inflammation and on gut and sal...

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) with a high content of polyphenols has attracted attention due to its proved beneficial effects in decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, modulating cholesterol levels (HDL and LDL), modulating inflammatory markers, and decreasing the levels of haemoglobin1Ac, suggesting that EVOO can have an impact in glycemia regulation. This study assessed the impact of the consumption o...

TAM pathway proteins as novel salivary biomarkers for periodontitis

Background The identification of molecular biomarkers that help clinicians in early diagnosis is a key focus of periodontal research. The major aim of this cross-sectional observational study was to assess whether salivary TAM pathway protein levels have the potential to discriminate between periodontally healthy or gingivitis controls and periodontitis patients, including those with mild (I/II) or severe (III/...

Programa nacional de avaliação externa da qualidade de microbiologia do ar (201...

A Unidade de Ar e Saúde Ocupacional (UASO) do Instituto Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge implementou os procedimentos necessários para a acreditação dos ensaios de amostragem e determinação analítica de microrganismos cultiváveis em suspensão no ar, de acordo com o referencial da norma NP EN ISO/IEC 17025 que estabelece os requisitos gerais de competência para laboratórios de ensaio e calibração. Face à i...

Unveiling the consequences of early human saliva contamination on membranes for...

Aims: GBR membranes have various surface properties designed to elicit positive responses in regenerative clinical procedures; dental clinicians attempt to employ techniques to prevent the direct interaction of contaminated oral fluids with these biomaterials. However, saliva is uninterruptedly exhibited in oral surgical proce-dures applying GBR membranes, suggesting a persistent interaction with biomate-rials ...

Exploring the inflammatory profile of homelessness population: a comprehensive ...

Background: Homeless people are continuously facing adverse living conditions as poor access to basic nutrition, hygiene conditions and healthcare services, being at increased risk of severe infectious diseases as HIV and hepatitis as well as cardiovascular diseases and mental disorders. The characterization of homeless people’s health is fundamental to identify their health care needs. Considering that the afo...

A importância da Avaliação Externa da Qualidade em Microbiologia do Ar (2010-2022)

A legislação nacional veio impor regras de eficiência dos sistemas de climatização de edifícios que permitem melhorar o desempenho energético e garantir uma boa qualidade do ar interior, estabelecendo, entre outros, requisitos de qualidade do ar através da adoção de concentrações máximas de referência para poluentes químicos e microbiológicos (bactérias e fungos) e obrigando à realização de auditorias periódica...

Contaminação de superfícies por fungos em habitação: Um risco para a saúde

Introdução: Existe suficiente evidência epidemiológica de que os ocupantes de edifícios com problemas de humidade excessiva e contaminação de superfícies por fungos, têm um risco acrescido de desenvolver sintomas respiratórios, infeções respiratórias e de exacerbar crises de asma. No interior de edifícios, a relativa abundância de diferentes espécies de fungos tende a seguir o padrão exterior, embora as concent...
