Objectives: To assess the impact of a training program for informal caregivers of palliative care patients, aiming to improve their practical, emotional, and relational skills, as well a...

Novel polymeric nanoparticles as nanofertilisers for alkaline iron‐deficient co...

Background and aims Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is a nutritional disorder impacting plants and is prevalent in calcareous alkaline soils, correspond- ing to 30% of the world’s arable land. IDC compro- mises iron uptake in crops such as soybean (Glycine max). To improve the effect of iron fertilisers, we sought to develop a nanotechnology-based interven- tion using polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with F...

Inferential techniques in structured families of models: Application to durum w...

This study introduces an extended inferential framework within the structured families of models (SFM), designed to analyze orthogonal fixed effects models with crossed factors using symmetric stochastic matrices (SSM) and spectral decomposition analysis. The complexity of the model is defined by the dominant eigenvalues in the model matrices, facilitating cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. Our innovati...

Guia de Boas Práticas. Redução do uso de antibióticos e antiparasitários. Promo...

As resistências aos antibióticos constituem, simultaneamente, uma preocupação de saúde pública e de saúde animal, devido à utilização dos mesmos princípios ativos em medicina humana e medicina veterinária e à possibilidade de transmissão de bactérias resistentes entre os animais e o homem, através da cadeia alimentar e do meio ambiente. A utilização de antibióticos conduz inevitavelmente à seleção de microrgani...

Fatores que Interferem na Realização da Documentação de Enfermagem em Contexto ...

Enquadramento: A informação em Enfermagem é relevante para a governação na saúde, não apenas pela componente legal e ética dos sistemas de informação, mas pela sua importância para as decisões clínicas, para a continuidade e qualidade de cuidados, para a gestão, formação, investigação e apoio no processo de tomada de decisão (Ordem dos Enfermeiros, 2007). Os registos de enfermagem em ambiente perioperatório dev...

Molecular evidence of sporadic Coxiella burnetii excretion in sheep milk, centr...

Coxiella burnetii is the etiologic agent of Q fever, a worldwide zoonosis. Cattle, sheep and goats are considered the main reservoirs of the disease. Transmission to humans occurs mainly through the inhalation of infectious aerosols from milk, faeces, urine, and birth products from infected ruminants. In this study, a 2-year longitudinal approach was performed to ascertain the excretion of C. burnetii in bulk t...

Pulmonary and Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Small Ruminant Autochtho...

The production of small ruminant autochthonous breeds in the Centre region of Portugal is practiced in a semi-extensive husbandry system, exposing animals to parasitic infections. The main objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of lungworm infection and identify risk factors. Fecal samples of 203 goats and 208 sheep from 30 herds were collected per rectum and subjected to the modified Baermann t...
