Radiologically Isolated Syndrome in Pediatric Age: The Ideal Clinical Model for...

Radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) is a condition in which imagiological findings suggestive of demyelination, specifically multiple sclerosis, are seen in neurologically asymptomatic individuals. Hence, RIS is usually referred to as a pre-symptomatic stage of multiple sclerosis, making it an interesting research object, with the goal of modifying the risk of subsequent evolution to that demyelinating disea...

Childhood neglect: Another perspective on childhood obesity

Childhood obesity is a multifactorial condition. Extreme cases are often associated with the inability of caregivers to follow the recommended diet plan, despite prior warnings of the potential risks associated of non-compliance. A seven-year-old girl with a body mass index (BMI) of 38.6 kg/m2 (z-score +7.3) and multiple comorbidities was seen in a Pediatric Nutrition outpatient consultation. After several atte...

Blunt traumatic injuries of thoracic aorta and supra-aortic trunks - a narrativ...

INTRODUCTION: Blunt thoracic aortic injuries (BTAI) are defined as a tear in the thoracic aorta caused by a high energy blunt trauma. The most common reported mechanism of injury is motor vehicle accidents, and it can be potentially lethal. The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) and the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) guidelines recommend thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) as the first lin...

Impacto da doença de Parkinson na visão: uma revisão de âmbito

Introdução – A doença de Parkinson é um transtorno neurodegenerativo progressivo com sintomatologia motora, assim como não motora, ao nível oculo-visual. Apresenta uma taxa de incidência anual de 14 pacientes por 100.000 habitantes, aumentando com o avançar da idade. Estima-se que existam cerca de 10 milhões de pessoas na população afetadas pela doença. Objetivos – O objetivo desta revisão de âmbito consiste em...

Impact of Parkinson’s disease on vision: a scoping review

Introduction – Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with motor symptoms, as well as non-motor symptoms at the oculo-visual level. It has an annual incidence rate of 14 patients per 100,000 inhabitants, increasing with age. With an estimated 10 million people in the world population living with the disease. Objectives – The aim of conducting this scoping review is to identify the chang...

Potential of Coccolithophore microalgae as fillers in starch-based films for ac...

Coccolithophore microalgae, such as Emiliania huxleyi (EHUX) and Chrysotila pseudoroscoffensis (CP), are composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and contain bioactive compounds that can be explored to produce sustainable food packaging. In this study, for the first time, these microalgae were incorporated as fillers in starch-based films, envisioning the development of biodegradable and bioactive materials for fo...

Bioprospecting for industrially relevant exopolysaccharide-producing cyanobacte...

Cyanobacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are potential candidates for the production of sustainable biopolymers. Although the bioactive and physicochemical properties of cyanobacterial-based EPS are attractive, their commercial exploitation is limited by the high production costs. Bioprospecting and characterizing novel EPS-producing strains for industrially relevant conditions is key to facilitate their impleme...
