Primeiro registo de trilobites no Silúrico de Portugal (Sinclinal de Moncorvo)

A ocorrência de fósseis de trilobites em Portugal é conhecida desde há mais de 150 anos, mas permanecia por comprovar a presença deste grupo nas litologias do Silúrico. Reporta-se agora o primeiro registo de trilobites no Silúrico de Portugal, numa sucessão de intercalações de argilitos e calcários da Formação Campanhó do Sinclinal de Moncorvo. As trilobites são raras, estando a associação amplamente dominada p...

The Acute Effects of a Fast-Food Meal Versus a Mediterranean Food Meal on the A...

Background/Objectives: This study aimed to assess the acute effects of two isoenergetic but micronutrient-diverse meals—a Mediterranean-like meal (MdM) and a fast food-like meal (FFM)—on the autonomic nervous system (ANS), lung function, and airway inflammation response. Methods: Forty-six participants were enrolled in a randomized crossover clinical trial, consuming two isoenergetic meals: FFM (burger, fries, ...

Tumor-Infiltrating T Cells in Skin Basal Cell Carcinomas and Squamous Cell Carc...

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are high-incidence, non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs). The success of immune-targeted therapies in advanced NMSCs led us to anticipate that NMSCs harbored significant populations of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes with potential anti-tumor activity. The main aim of this study was to characterize T cells infiltrating NMSCs. Flow cytometry and immuno...

Ocular allergy: From clinical approach to treatment; [Alergia ocular: Da aborda...

Ocular allergy encompasses a spectrum of pathologies mediated by hypersensitivity mechanisms that affect the ocular surface. Ocular symptoms and signs such as itching or conjunctival hyperemia are often underestimated and undertreated despite their impact on quality of life. Ocular allergy encompasses different clinical entities differentiated by their underlying patho-physiological mechanism and clinical prese...

Measuring Adherence to Inhaled Control Medication in Patients with Asthma: Comp...

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of using an asthma app to support medication management and adherence but failed to compare with other measures currently used in clinical practice. However, in a clinical setting, any additional adherence measurement must be evaluated in the context of both the patient and physician perspectives so that it can also help improve the process of share...

Does the Mediterranean Dietary Pattern Promote Lower Sodium Urinary Excretion i...

An adequate sodium intake is related to various health benefits. Parallelly, the Mediterranean diet (MD) is a dietary pattern known for its many positive impacts on health. Nonetheless, the association between adherence to the MD and sodium urinary excretion is scarce, even more in children. This study aimed to assess the association between MD adherence and the excretion of sodium, as a proxy of intake. This c...

Mediterranean Diet and Airway Inflammation in School-Aged Children

<jats:p>There seems to exist an intricate relationship between airway inflammation, body mass index (BMI), and diet. The intake of specific foods or food groups has been suggested to suppress the oxidative stress and inflammatory processes that characterize airway inflammation, but little is known about dietary patterns and their complex interplay with BMI and airway inflammation. Therefore, this cross-sectiona...

Diet Quality and Exhaled Breath Condensate Markers in a Sample of School-Aged C...

Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) analysis is a recently developed, non-invasive method used to identify and quantify biomarkers, mainly those coming from the lower respiratory tract. It seems that diet can influence the airway's inflammation and change the exhaled breath composition. This study aimed to assess the association between diet quality intake and markers in EBC among school-aged children. A cross-sect...
