Significance Coexposure to airborne pollen enhances susceptibility respiratory viral infections, regardless of the allergy status. We hypothesized this could be also true for SARS-CoV-2 infections. To investigate this, we tested relationships between infection rates and concentrations, along with humidity, temperature, population density, lockdown effects. Our unique dataset derives from 130 sites in 31 countries across five continents. found that pollen, sometimes synergy humidity...
The potential development of a rapid and highly sensitive breast cancer (BC) diagnostic method has been increasingly investigated by many researchers in order to significantly improve the diagnosis this disease that affects millions women worldwide. Thus, investigation aimed establish BC urinary peptidomic pattern using one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (1D SDS-PAGE) coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass...
Abstract Aerobiology could be used as complementary data or proxy for studying phenology, especially in species which usually are not long-distance transported, such grasses. This 21-year aerobiological study took place Évora (South Portugal), using a seven-day recording volumetric pollen trap with the aim of analysing temporal trends grass seasons. To this end, were statistically tested correlation and regression to determine features Main results show that Poaceae has high representation...
Public gardens are elements that constitute the urban green infrastructure. Such units provide ecosystem services becoming a key concern in planning strategies. In this survey allergenic potential of two public Funchal, city exhibiting sub-tropical and Mediterranean climatic features, was assessed. Different risk scenarios were considered, Allergenicity Indexes recalculated. Results show Municipal Garden exhibits an IUGZA (Index Urban Green Zone Allergenicity) 0,39 Santa Catarina Park 0,16,...
The purpose of this case report is to highlight the ocular complications dabrafenib and trametinib treatment. We discuss an 81-year-old female treated with for metastatic melanoma, who developed a retinal branch vein occlusion macular edema in right eye. other eye was healthy. treatment discontinued her managed loading dose three injections anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) medication good response. use BRAF MEK inhibitors increasingly becoming widespread, hence it...
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to analyze the possible routes of Fusarium spp. introduction in Madeira between 1990 and 2018 elucidate factors that favored settling this fungus Island. Phytosanitary surveys were carried out several crops plants imported Madeira. isolates obtained from underground aerial organs cultured on differential media for species identification. Fungal colony spore morphology observed under a microscope identified based bibliography dichotomous keys. phytosanitary...
A exposição a aeroalergénios polínicos é um importante fator ambiental desencadeante de doenças alérgicas respiratórias, tais como rinite e asma. Estas patologias conduzem uma redução da qualidade vida dos doentes aumento custos socioeconómicos por toda Europa, incluindo em Portugal. Uma das informações mais comuns disponíveis para os com polinose seus clínicos concentração grãos pólen presentes na atmosfera ambientes exteriores, bioaerossóis cuja distribuição temporal se encontra contida...
Objetivo: Avaliar a distribuição dos esporos de fungos potencialmente alergizantes em Lisboa no triénio 2014 -2016, caracterizar sua prevalência na atmosfera e estudar influência fatores meteorológicos nas suas concentrações.Métodos: Monitorizaram -se os presentes ar atmosférico entre 1 janeiro 31 dezembro 2016.A amostragem foi efetuada através um captador Burkard Seven Day Volumetric Spore -trap ® .Para identificação quantificação recorreu sistema leitura ao microscópio ótico baseado...
