Extending the shelf-life of live clams, Venerupis corrugata - important aspects...

Venerupis corrugata (pullet carpet shell) is a premium native clam species in Portugal. This species is highly perishable, typically sold live within 3 or 4 days, posing a significant risk of loss. Therefore, efforts to extend its shelf-life are relevant. The impact of the storage temperature (3, 5, 8 and 12 °C) on clams in plastic net bags and the effect of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) were investigated...

MICROORC: orchestrating food system microbiomes to minimize food waste

Context: Food loss and waste (FLW) pose significant challenges globally, affecting the environment, food security and economies. In 2022, the EU generated over 59 million tonnes of food waste, an average of 132 kg per inhabitant. Households account for 54% of this (72 kg per person), while the remaining 46% comes from the food supply chain. Food waste in the supply and consumption sectors represents about 10% o...

Generally, mononeuropathy of the abducens nerve in cancer pati...

Modified atmosphere packaging for poultry meat: impact on microbiota and odour ...

Specific packaging conditions such as a modified atmosphere can have a tremendous effect in delaying the proliferation of food spoilage microorganisms and, consequently, increasing the shelf life of products and reducing food waste. To evaluate the impact of different packaging atmospheres on the microbial load and microbiota of poultry meat, chicken breasts packed in high oxygen-containing packages (55-70% O2,...

Introdução: A drepanocitose é uma patologia que se caracteriza pela ocorrência de oclusões microvasculares em diversos órgãos como na retina, podendo conduzir a isquémia macular que pode resultar em alterações das características da zona avascular da fóvea (ZAF). O objectivo deste estudo é avaliar o diâmetro e a área da ZAF em crianças e jovens adultos com drepanocitose, utilizando angiografia por tomografia de...

Complete blood count parameters as biomarkers of retinopathy of prematurity: a ...

Purpose: To evaluate complete blood count (CBC) parameters in the first week of life as predictive biomarkers for the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Methods: Multicenter, prospective, observational study of a cohort of preterm infants born with gestational age (GA) < 32 weeks or birth weight < 1500 g in eight Portuguese neonatal intensive care units. All demographic, clinical, and laboratory d...

Retrospective comparison between growth and retinopathy of prematurity model ve...

Objective: To compare the weight and insulin-like growth factor-1 in neonatal retinopathy (WINROP) to the growth and retinopathy of prematurity (G-ROP) model in a Portuguese cohort. Design: Retrospective case series. Methods: Clinical records of consecutive infants who underwent retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening from April 2012 to May 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Both WINROP and G-ROP models wer...
