The historical use of plants as sources natural compounds has persisted over time. Increasing the intake bioactive substances shows significant potential for promoting overall well-being and health. This study delves into pigments, phenolic composition, profile, along with antioxidant properties, leaf extracts rich in bioactives from Azores region, contributing to sustainable primary food production. Analyses encompassed chlorophylls, carotenoids, total phenols, ortho-diphenols, flavonoids,...
The Douro Demarcated Region's winery industry produces million tonnes of by-products annually, making their reuse essential to minimize environmental impact. Grape stems, rich in bioactive compounds and nutrients, have demonstrated potential health benefits. This study analysed four red grape stems from the region assess nutritional value benefit. Tryptophan, selenium, phenolic compounds, which regulate cognitive functions, protein enzyme synthesis, antioxidant processes, were analysed....
Hospital-acquired pneumonia continues to be a frequent complication in the intensive care unit and an important cause of admission unit. The aim our study was evaluate demography, incidence, risk factors, causative bacterial pathogens outcome all episodes unit.Prospective observational study, at tertiary university hospital during one year (2014) including cases hospital-acquired unit.Sixty patients were identified with pneumonia. Thirty-five (58.3%) had acquired pneumonia, corresponding 6.9...
The residues generated in the wine industry (pomace, stems, seeds, lees, and grapevine shoots) are a potential source of bioactive compounds that can be used other industries despite being sometimes underestimated. Different extraction methods using various solvents conditions currently investigated. Due to its natural occurrence wines, safe behavior, low toxicity when compared organic solvents, ethanol is as an extracting agent. aim this study was identify winery by-product from Região...
We performed a retrospective study with the aim of investigating association between blood pressure (BP) variability in first 24 h after ischemic stroke and functional outcome, regarding arterial recanalization status. A total 674 patients diagnosed acute treated revascularization therapies were enrolled. Systolic diastolic BP values collected their variation quantified through standard deviation. Recanalization state was evaluated at 6 clinical outcome 3 months assessed by modified Rankin...
To provide meat safety and consumer protection, appropriate hygiene control measures at an abattoir are required. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of visual fecal contamination level (VFCL) lairage time (LT) on pig skin (PS) external (ECS) internal (ICS) carcass surfaces. The presence

Pork carcasses' direct or indirect contamination by Enterobacteriaceae and E. coli (hygiene criterions), mainly bacteria present in intestinal skin faecal material, can occur at different stages of the slaughter line. In this study it was determined level on 100 pigs corresponding carcasses. It also analysed, for each pig, visible (VLFC), recorded holding time lairage order (beginning ending). animal, sponge swabs were performed respective carcasses (approximate 1000 cm2). A total 200...
