Effects of preharvest lighting conditions on phenolic compounds and colour of r...
Silva, M; Moreno, DA; Domínguez-Perles, R; Viegas, Olga; Faria, M; Carvalho, SMP; Ferreira, IMPLVOThis study examined how lighting conditions (White, or a combination of Red + Blue LEDs; and supplemental UV-C: 0, 1 or 3 applications) and cultivars (Daikon, Red Rambo) affected the colour, total phenolics content, antioxidant activity and individual polyphenols of radish microgreens (Raphanus sativus L.) in a sustainable vertical farming system, as well as the implications for polyphenolic intake, connecting ...
Alterations in mucosa branched N-glycans lead to dysbiosis and downregulation o...
Rodrigues, CS; Gaifem, J; Pereira, MS; Alves, MF; Silva, M; Padrão, N; Cavadas, B; Moreira-Barbosa, C; Alves, I; Marcos-Pinto, R; Torres, J; Lavelle, AThe perturbation of the symbiotic relationship between microbes and intestinal immune system contributes to gut inflammation and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) development. The host mucosa glycans (glycocalyx) creates a major biological interface between gut microorganisms and host immunity that remains ill-defined. Glycans are essential players in IBD immunopathogenesis, even years before disease onset. Howe...
Digestion of organosulfur compounds of two radish microgreen cultivars grown un...
Silva, M; Dominguez-Perles, R; Moreno, DA; Viegas, Olga; Faria, MA; Carvalho, SMP; Ferreira, IMPLVORadishes are rich in health-promoting organosulfur compounds. This study investigated the effects of gastrointestinal digestion (GID) on glucosinolates (GSLs) and isothiocyanates (ITCs) of two radish microgreens cultivars (Raphanus sativus; cv. Daikon, and cv. Red Rambo) grown in a closed vertical system under either White (W) or Red+Blue (R + B) LEDs, combined with varying applications of UV-C radiation (0, 1,...
Gender Dysphoria: Concepts, Diagnosis and Clinical Management
Alves Rodrigues, C; Marguilho, M; Ferreira, B; Nascimento, S; Nascimento, M; Cardoso, S; Silva, M; Pablo, AC; Soares, C; Fernandes, C; Gonçalves, MGender dysphoria is defined as a condition characterized by mental suffering associated with the incongruence between one's experienced gender and their birth-assigned sex. Gender as a construct and gender dysphoria as a condition in need of multidisciplinary intervention have developed as swiftly as their visibility in society, making it mandatory to promote the literacy and education of all healthcare profess...
Epidemiological and Clinical Aspects of Cutaneous and Mucosal Leishmaniases in ...
Rocha, R; Conceição, C; Gonçalves, L; Carvalho, AC; Maia, A; Martins, A; Carujo, A; Maio, A; Forra, C; Melita, C; Couto, D; Fernandes, D; Pereira, DLeishmania infantum, a zoonotic vector-born parasite, is endemic in the Mediterranean region, presenting mostly as visceral (VL), but also as cutaneous (CL) and mucosal leishmaniasis (ML). This study aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the CL and ML cases diagnosed in mainland Portugal between 2010 and 2020. Collaboration was requested from every hospital of the Portuguese National Hea...

ffect of resistance exercise training on blood antioxidant capacity in rats und...
Anjos, J; Santos, S; Anjos, L; Aires, I; Garcias, I; Azevedo, C; Silva, M; Oliveira, PA; Faustino-Rocha, Ana I; Peixoto, FIntroduction: Doxorubicin (DOX) is an efficient chemotherapeutic drug used in the treatment of several types of cancer, such as breast cancer. DOX causes cardiotoxicity that leads to cardiac inflammation and remodeling as a result of oxidative stress and impaired mitochondrial function. Several studies observed a beneficial effect of exercise training on antioxidants, due to upregulation of the activity of some...

Endobronchial Amphotericin B to Treat Hemoptysis in an Inoperable Patient with ...
Pinto, M; Rodrigues, J; Silva, M; Maia, D; Miguel, AA 37-year-old man presented with chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis and hemoptysis refractory to systemic antifungal therapy with voriconazole and bronchial artery embolization. Surgical excision was unfeasible due to the patient's refusal of blood transfusions. Ten sessions of intracavitary instillation of amphotericin B via flexible bronchoscopy were then performed. Hemoptysis cessation and aspergilloma...
Hormetic effect of UV-C radiation on red mustard microgreens growth and chemica...
Silva, M; Machado, J; López-Ruiz, R; Marín-Sáez, J; Viegas, Olga; Faria, M; Romero-Gonzalez, R; Garrido-Frenich, A; Carvalho, SMP; Ferreira, IMPLVOBrassica microgreens are rich in phytochemicals and are attractive crops for controlled vertical farming systems where the light spectrum can be precisely manipulated. Understanding the effects of pre-harvest hormetic UV-C light doses on plant composition and growth parameters represents a novel and largely unexplored area for precision agriculture and nutrition. Therefore, the objective of this work was to inv...
