Chromatographic Methods for Detection and Quantification of Pyrrolizidine Alkal...
Sousa, AC; Ribeiro, C; Gonçalves, VMF; Pádua, I; Leal, SPyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are natural toxins produced by some plants that gained special interest due to their potential hazardous effects in humans and animals. These substances have been found in wild flora, herbal medicines and food products raising health concerns. Recently, maximum concentration levels of PAs were established for some food products; however, maximum daily intake frequently surpasses th...

Cavaleiro Rufo, J; Annesi-Maesano, I; Carreiro-Martins, P; Moreira, A; Sousa, AC; Pastorinho, MR; Neuparth, N; Taborda-Barata, LObjective To quantify the impact of different air pollutants on respiratory health based on robust estimates based on international data and to summarise the evidence of associations between indoor exposure to those pollutants and respiratory morbidity in the Portuguese population. Results Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses (MA) at the world level demonstrate the impact of indoor air quality on respir...

Burden of disease attributable to risk factors in European countries: a scoping...
Gorasso, V; Morgado, JN; Charalampous, P; Pires, SM; Haagsma, JA; Santos, JV; Idavain, J; Ngwa, CH; Noguer, I; Padron-Monedero, A; Sarmiento, RObjectives Within the framework of the burden of disease (BoD) approach, disease and injury burden estimates attributable to risk factors are a useful guide for policy formulation and priority setting in disease prevention. Considering the important differences in methods, and their impact on burden estimates, we conducted a scoping literature review to: (1) map the BoD assessments including risk factors perfor...
Methodological considerations in injury burden of disease studies across Europe...
Charalampous, P; Pallari, E; Gorasso, V; Von Der Lippe, E; Devleesschauwer, B; Pires, SM; Plass, D; Idavain, J; Ngwa, CH; Noguer, I; Padron-Monedero, ABackground Calculating the disease burden due to injury is complex, as it requires many methodological choices. Until now, an overview of the methodological design choices that have been made in burden of disease (BoD) studies in injury populations is not available. The aim of this systematic literature review was to identify existing injury BoD studies undertaken across Europe and to comprehensively review the...
Combined low-carbohydrate diet and long-term exercise in hypoxia in type 2 diab...
Kindlovits, R; Sousa, AC; Viana, JL; Milheiro, J; Marques, F; Teixeira, Vitor Hugo<jats:p> Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality associated with diabetes, which is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. Low-carbohydrate diet has gained popularity as an intervention in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, acting to improve glycemic profile and serum lipids. In its turn, exercise in hypoxia induces specific adaptations, mostly modulated via hypoxia-induced tr...
Central airway obstruction: is it time to move forward?
Guedes, F; Branquinho, MV; Sousa, AC; Alvites, RD; Bugalho, A; Maurício, ACIntroduction Central airway obstruction (CAO) represents a pathological condition that can lead to airflow limitation of the trachea, main stem bronchi, bronchus intermedius or lobar bronchus. Main body It is a common clinical situation consensually considered under-diagnosed. Management of patients with CAO can be difficult and deciding on the best treatment approach represents a medical challenge. This work i...
Chemical characterization and bioactive potential of Thymus×citriodorus (Pers.)...
Oliveira, AS; Rolo, J; Gaspar, C; Cavaleiro, C; Salgueiro, L; Palmeira-de-Oliveira, R; Ferraz, C; Coelho, S; Pastorinho, MR; Sousa, AC; Teixeira, JPEthnopharmacological relevance: Thymus × citriodorus (Pers.) Schreb. is an interspecific hybrid between Thymus pulegioides and Thymus vulgaris, known for its pharmacological activities as diaphoretic, deodorant, antiseptic and disinfectant, the last mostly related with its antimicrobial activity. The folk use of other extracts, as hydrolates, have also been disseminated, as regulators of oily skin with anti-acn...

Sousa, AC; Pastorinho, MR; Masjedi, MR; Urrutia-Pereira, M; Arrais, M; Nunes, E; To, T; Ferreira, AJ; Robalo-Cordeiro, C; Borrego, C; Teixeira, JPObjective: To analyse the GARD perspective on the health effects of outdoor air pollution, and to synthesise the Portuguese epidemiological contribution to knowledge on its respiratory impact. Results: Ambient air pollution has deleterious respiratory effects which are more apparent in larger, densely populated and industrialised countries, such as Canada, Iran, Brazil and Portugal, but it also affects people l...
