Genotoxicity and cytotoxicity assessment of volatile organic compounds in patho...
Baptista, Fátima; Garcia, Patrícia V.; Rodrigues, Armindo S.; Ladeira, CarinaIn pathology laboratories, several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are used, such as formaldehyde, ethanol, and xylene. These substances are recognized as genotoxic and cytotoxic, which is why their handling poses risks to human health. The buccal micronucleus (MN) cytome assay is a non-invasive, useful, and simple method to detect these effects in exposed individuals. The study aimed to evaluate the risk of ...

Pediatric Sarcopenia: What do We Know?
Marques, Marília; Baptista, FátimaPediatric sarcopenia is an emerging health issue that affects muscle development, strength, and overall well-being in children and adolescents. While it was initially linked to aging, recent studies highlight its presence in younger populations, particularly among those with chronic conditions. This condition affects growth and neurodevelopment in the short term and is associated with an increased risk of long-...

Assessment of the impact of utility-scale photovoltaics on the surrounding envi...
Muñoz-García, Miguel-Ángel; Fialho, Luis; Moreda, Guillermo P.; Baptista, FátimaThe rapid growth of photovoltaic solar energy, to achieve decarbonization, has been accompanied by increasing land occupation and the subsequent concern in the agroforestry sector. The increase in land area occupied has been of 20% in recent years, boosting solar electricity production to 5.9% of the total in Europe. This fact raises the question of the impact on vegetation greenness and moisture in the rural e...
Symptoms of Sarcopenia and Physical Fitness through the Senior Fitness Test
Lima, Alex Barreto de; Baptista, Fátima; Henriques-Neto, Duarte; Pinto, André de Araújo; Gouveia, Élvio Rúbiot: Introduction: Physical fitness concerns a set of attributes related to the ability to perform physical activity that may justify the symptoms reported by the elderly in the context of sarcopenia. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the perception (symptomatology) of physical functioning (what the person thinks they are capable of) and the capacity itself for physical functioni...

Muscle Weakness and Walking Slowness for the Identification of Sarcopenia in th...
Lima, Alex Barreto de; Henriques-Neto, Duarte; Ribeiro, Gustavo dos Santos; Gouveia, Élvio Rúbio; Baptista, FátimaBackground: This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of sarcopenia in elderly people from Northern Brazil according to muscle weakness or walking slowness. Methods: The sample consisted of 312 elderly people (72.6 ± 7.8 years). For walking slowness, a gait speed ≤ 0.8 m/s was used as a cut-off value, and for muscle weakness the following handgrip strength criteria were used for men and women, respectively: CI...
Risk for physical dependence in community-dwelling older adults: The role of fe...
Pereira, Catarina; Bravo, Jorge; Raimundo, Armando; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Mendes, Felismina; Baptista, FátimaBackground: Falls and fall-related injuries along with fear of falling (FoF) seem to restrict activities of daily living (ADL), resulting in physical dependence. However, it is still unclear how falls and related injuries or FoF by themselves explain general and specific ADL dependence. Objectives: To investigate the relationships between falls and related injuries, FoF and physical dependence on ADL in communi...
