Lifespan perspective on self-compassion: Insights from age-groups and gender co...

Developmental stages present challenges that prepare the individual for new roles. Self-compassion may be a protective factor across this process. The present study aims to: (1) compare self-compassion scores in adolescence, young adulthood, adulthood, and older adulthood using a cross-sectional design and a continuous multigenerational sample; (2) study gender comparisons across age-groups; and (3) study gende...

Response surface modeling and optimization of the extraction of phenolic antiox...

In vitro digestion, bioaccessibility, and release kinetics studies of encapsula...

Physicochemical and microstructural properties of composite edible film obtaine...

The aim of this work was to study the potential application of edible films obtained by complex coacervation promoted by the electrostatic interactions between positively charged chitosan (CH) 3% (w/w) and negatively charged whey protein isolate (WPI) 3% (w/w). Preliminary assays of turbidimetry were made in order to find the optimal CH-to-WPI mass ratio for the complex coacervation. The maximum turbidity was o...

A 5-year retrospective study of canine and feline patients referred to an isola...

Background: Referral of cases is becoming more and more frequent in companion animal practice. The Infectious Diseases Isolation Unit (IDIU) admits first opinion, second opinion and referred patients with a confirmed infectious disease (ID) or a clinically suspected ID that is awaiting laboratory diagnosis. The primary aims of this study were to describe the annual number and characteristics of patients referre...

Demographic characterization and spatial cluster analysis of human Salmonella 1...

Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:- is presently considered one of the major serovars responsible for human salmonellosis worldwide. Due to its recent emergence, studies assessing the demographic characterization and spatial epidemiology of salmonellosis 1,4,[5],12:i:- at local- or country-level are lacking. In this study, a analysis was conducted over a 10year period, from 2000 to the first quarter of 2011 at the Portug...

Polyphenols journey through blood-brain barrier towards neuronal protection

Age-related complications such as neurodegenerative disorders are increasing and remain cureless. The possibility of altering the progression or the development of these multifactorial diseases through diet is an emerging and attractive approach with increasing experimental support. We examined the potential of known bioavailable phenolic sulfates, arising from colonic metabolism of berries, to infuence hallmar...

Oral Recombinant Feline Interferon-Omega as an alternative immune modulation th...

Recombinant-Feline Interferon-Omega (rFeIFN-ω) is an immune-modulator licensed for use subcutaneously in Feline Immunodeficiency virus (FIV) therapy. Despite oral protocols have been suggested, little is known about such use in FIV-infected cats. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical improvement, laboratory findings, concurrent viral excretion and acute phase proteins (APPs) in naturally FIV-infected cats u...

Global phylogeography and evolution of chelonid fibropapilloma-associated herpe...

A global phylogeny for chelonid fibropapilloma-associated herpesvirus (CFPHV), the most likely aetiological agent of fibropapillomatosis (FP) in sea turtles, was inferred, using dated sequences, through Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis and used to estimate the virus evolutionary rate independent of the evolution of the host, and to resolve the phylogenetic positions of new haplotypes from Puerto Rico ...
