Ultrasound-assisted extraction of bioactive compounds from goji berries: optimi...

Lycium barbarum L. berries have a remarkable chemical composition and extensive biological activities, being a valuable component of health and nutraceutical practices. Nevertheless, a deep insight on the intestinal permeation of the pro-healthy bioactive compounds is urgently needed to predict the real effects on human body. This study attempted, for the first time, to optimize the Ultrasound-Assisted Extracti...

Oral health literacy and determinants among an elderly community in Portugal

High average life expectancy has caused an increase in the elderly population and with it arises the need to characterize this population regarding their health and, in particular, their oral health. The purpose of this study was to assess and characterize oral health, oral rehabilitation, oral health literacy, oral health perception and quality of life in a sample of elderly participants of a physical activity...

Insights into the bioactive composition, antioxidant properties and In vitro ce...

Disphyma crassifolium, commonly known as sea fingers, is a halophyte plant recently introduced in gourmet cuisine. The present study aims to extract the bioactive compounds of D. crassifolium using ultrasound-assisted extraction and employing green solvents (water and ethanol). The antioxidant/antiradical activities, scavenging capacity against reactive species, phenolic profile, and intestinal effects were eva...

valuable component of health and nutraceutical practices. Nevertheless, a deep insight on the intestinal permeation of the pro-healthy bioactive compounds is urgently needed to predict the real effects on human body. This study attempted, for the first time, to optimize the Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) of goji berries using a Response Surface Methodology approach and establish the intestinal permeation ...

Exploring the bioactive potential of Pisolithus (Basidiomycota): comprehensive ...

Addressing pressing health concerns, modern medical research seeks to identify new antimicrobials to combat drug resistance, novel molecules for cancer treatment, and antioxidants for inflammation-related diseases. Pisolithus (Basidiomycota) is a ubiquitous and widely distributed fungal genus in forest ecosystems, known for establishing ectomycorrhizal associations with a range of host plants, enhancing their g...

GIANT PRIMARY PULMONARY LEIOMYOSARCOMA

A 57-year-old woman with backpain was diagnosed with a right hemithorax mass. Transthoracic needle biopsy showed a low-grade leiomyosarcoma. Surgery was performed, with resection of the tumor en bloc with the 5th right rib and the right lung. Pathology showed a 22 x 19 x 10 cm, 2700 g primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma, an extremely rare finding.; Mulher de 57 anos com dor no dorso em que foi diagnosticado uma tu...

Development of enhanced buccal films with Actinidia arguta fruit extract for or...

Background: Oral mucositis (OM) is a common side effect of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy [1], being characterized by disruption of the oral mucosa integrity, inflammation, and pain [1,2]. The treatment strategies to prevent and treat OM are still unsatisfactory, leading to the search of new active compounds, particularly from natural sources, such as Actinidia arguta fruits [1]. A. arguta fruit, c...
