Characteristics of lower-limb peripheral arterial disease in women

INTRODUCTION: Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) affects more than 200 million people. Its estimated prevalence in women ranges from 3% to 29%. Asymptomatic PAD is more common in women than in men. However, when symptomatic, females present a more complex disease, severe critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), and worse outcomes. This study aims to characterize PAD in hospitalized women, evaluating risk facto...

Combined effect of elevated CO2 and Fe deficiency on common bean metabolism and...

Aims: Elevated atmospheric CO2 (eCO2) and restricted iron (Fe) supply are known to impact plant growth and nutritional quality of food crops. However, studies aimed at understanding how eCO2 will interact with Fe deficiency are scarce. Changes in the nutritional status of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) may significantly impact the nutritional status of populations that rely heavily on this crop. Method...

Predicting iron deficiency and oxidative stress in glycine max through Fourier ...

Aims: The excessive use of fertilizers is a problem in current agricultural systems, and sustainable farming practices, including precision agriculture, demand the use of new technologies to manage plant stress at an early stage. To sustainably manage iron (Fe) fertilization in agricultural fields, it is urgent to develop early detection methods for Fe deficiency, and linked oxidative stress, in plant leaves. H...

Impact of a daily legume-based meal on blood and anthropometric parameters in a...

This pilot study aimed to assess the impact of substituting a traditional lunch for a vegetarian legume-based meal on blood and anthropometric parameters in a group of omnivorous adults. A one-group comparison, quasi-experimental dietary intervention was designed. A vegetarian legume-based meal was offered for 8 consecutive weeks (weekdays) to non-vegetarian individuals (n = 26), (28 years [P25 = 20.0, P75 = 35...

Estratégias de recuperação do amadurecimento da pera ‘Rocha’ tratada com 1-MCP ...

A pera ‘Rocha’ (Pyrus communis ‘Rocha’) do Oeste DOP é uma variedade portuguesa. Com o aumento da capacidade produtiva e das exportações, surgiu a necessidade de adotar estratégias de armazenamento que permitam a disponibilidade deste fruto durante cerca de 10 meses. Em combinação com a refrigeração e atmosfera controlada, a aplicação do 1-MCP tem sido uma das técnicas mais usadas para prolongar o armazenamento...

Iron nanofertilizers for the development of sustainable soybean crops

'Rocha’ Pear ripening under the 1-mcp evergreen effect: the impact of the auxin...

‘Rocha’ pear (Pyrus communis L. cv. Rocha), is a DOP cultivar from the West region of Portugal that is appreciated worldwide. Combined with controlled atmosphere storage, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) application, an antagonist of ethylene action, has been one of the most applied techniques to extend the storage of ‘Rocha’ pear. However, fruit industry is facing a problem resulting from 1-MCP application: it pre...
