The risk factors for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity are still poorly understood. Considering the pivotal role of gut microbiota on host immune and inflammatory functions, we investigated association between changes in composition clinical COVID-19. We conducted a multicenter cross-sectional study prospectively enrolling 115 COVID-19 patients categorized according to: (1) WHO Clinical Progression Scale—mild, 19 (16.5%); moderate, 37 (32.2%); or severe, 59 (51.3%), (2) location...
Monkeypox, a neglected and re-emergent zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection, has been endemic in Central Western Africa for decades. More recently, an outbreak spread to global level, occurring sites with no previous reported cases being clustered among men who have sex men, suggesting new modes of transmission. There is urgent need research better understanding the genomic evolution changing epidemiology Orthopoxvirus group. Our work aimed characterize clinical...
We report a fatal case of disseminated mpox infection that progressed over more than three months in an HIV-infected patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Mucocutaneous, pleuropulmonary, central nervous system, and gastrointestinal involvement was documented. This course disease resembles progressive vaccinia, formerly reported caused by uncontrolled replication smallpox vaccination orthopoxviruses immunosuppressed patients. Severe small bowel jeopardized normal oral...
The main objective was to study the antiulcer and antiproliferative potential of yeast peptide extract for further incorporation into functional foods.
Abstract The physiological function of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) remains controversial. It was recently suggested that this membrane‐bound enzyme has a role in the modulation transmembranar transport systems into hepatocytes and Caco‐2 cells. ALP activity expressed on apical surface blood‐brain barrier cells, its relationship with 125 I‐insulin internalization were investigated under conditions using p ‐nitrophenylphosphate ( ‐NPP) as substrate. For this, an immortalized cell line rat...
Introduction Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide and diet is an important contributor to CVD risk. Thus, several food derivatives being investigated for their beneficial impact on reducing cardiometabolic risk factors, either in groups or healthy population as a preventive measure. Wheat germ by-product with high nutritional value, especially concentrated source dietary fibre essential fatty acids, but its incorporation into has been rare up now....

Intake of whole grains is associated with a reduced risk cardiovascular disease (CVD). This evidence also strong for bran alone, but findings about germ are conflicting. Our aim was to elucidate the role in primary prevention events, and therefore, staple food selected 6 g supplementation. corresponds sixfold increase global mean consumption germ, while preserving sensory proprieties refined bread which crucial consumer's acceptance.Randomised, double-blinded, crossover, controlled clinical...
