ASSYMTPOMATIC GIANT GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOR (GIST): CLINICAL CASE REPORT
Valente, Sofia; Miranda, Carlos; Coutinho, JoãoGISTs are rare mesenchymal tumors, which may present as millimetric lesions or bulky masses. They are usually clinically silent until they reach a significant size, so their finding is often incidental. We report the case of a 92 – year – old female patient admitted to the Emergency Department due to clinical symptoms of right hypochondrium (RH) pain, nausea and vomiting, developing within a few hours. Clinical...
Biochemical study of attached macroalgae from the Madeira Archipelago and beach...
Nunes, Nuno; Valente, Sofia; Ferraz, Sónia; Barreto, Maria do Carmo; Carvalho, Miguel A. A. Pinheiro deFifteen attached macroalgae from the Madeira Archipelago, comprising three green, three red and nine brown algal species, as well as two beach-cast macroalgal samples, collected along the north shore of Gran Canaria, were assessed for their biochemical properties. The analysis included the determination of total minerals, total carbohydrates, protein, lipids, chlorophyll a, total carotenoids, total phenolic con...

Constructing ethanol-derived bioactive extracts using the brown seaweed Zonaria...
Nunes, Nuno; Valente, Sofia; Ferraz, Sónia; Barreto, Maria do Carmo; Carvalho, Miguel A. A. Pinheiro deUnderstanding the biochemical and antioxidant composition and capacity of a target biomass is the first step to its selectivity as functional food which can enhance the ability to promote health by reducing the risk of chronic diseases. The main purpose of this work was to employ response surface methodology (RSM) to determine the effect of the independent variables, % of ethanol (50–96%), time of sonication (0...
Different seaweeds use for iodine deficiency overcome
Ferraz, Sónia; Ragonezi, Carla; Nunes, Nuno; Valente, Sofia; Carvalho, Miguel A. A. Pinheiro deIodine deficiency is one of the three most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide and is a global public health problem that affects particularly the young children, pregnant women and elderly. The consequences of iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) include goiter and cretinism. The traditional consumption of iodine via supplemented salt should be monitored to reduce population sodium intake due to hypertension...
