Crithmum maritimum L. (sea fennel), an edible xerophyte of coastal habitats, is considered emerging cash crop for biosaline agriculture due to its salt-tolerance ability and potential applications in the agri-food sector. Here, nutritional value bioactive properties sea fennel are described. Sea leaves, flowers, schizocarps composed carbohydrates (>65%) followed by ash, proteins, lipids. fennel’s salty, succulent leaves a source omega-6 omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially...
Using the Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function, End-stage disease (RIFLE), Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) and Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) systems, incidence acute injury (AKI) their ability to predict in-hospital mortality in severe sepsis or septic shock was compared.We performed a retrospective analysis 457 critically ill patients with hospitalized between January 2008 December 2014. Multivariate logistic regression employed evaluate association RIFLE, AKIN...
Seaweeds exhibit high nutritional value due to a balanced concentration of proteins, vitamins and minerals, low digestibility polysaccharides, reduced levels lipids, many which are n-3 n-6 fatty acids. The species
Helichrysum italicum (H. italicum) is a halophyte shrub with bright yellow flowers strong curry-like aroma. The essential oils of H. have been used in the production cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, due to their antiallergic anti-inflammatory properties. In agri-food sector, can be for seasoning flavoring food, as natural food preservatives. Here, we report on composition, bioactive compounds, nutritive value flowers. Flowers were mainly composed carbohydrates (>80 % dry weight), followed by...
Crithmum maritimum L., or sea fennel, is an edible halophyte plant, rich in phenolic compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, that naturally grows Mediterranean coasts. This study aims to incorporate bioactive extracted from lyophilized sunflower oil assisted by ultrasounds (UAE), improve its biological value oxidative stability. UAE conditions were optimized as a function of time (5-20 min) plant concentration (5-20% m/v). The experiments dictated central composite rotatable...
Although the prognostic effect of obesity has been studied in critically ill patients its impact on outcomes septic and role as a risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) is not consensual. We aimed to analyze occurrence AKI in-hospital mortality cohort patients. This study retrospective including 456 adult with sepsis admitted Division Intensive Medicine Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Norte (Lisbon, Portugal) between January 2008 December 2014. Obesity was defined body mass index 30 kg/m2 or...
In this study, Pelvetia canaliculata L. macroalga, collected from the Atlantic Portuguese coast, was used as a source of bioactive compounds, mostly antioxidants, to incorporate them in sunflower oil with aim increasing its biological value and oxidative stability. The lyophilized alga added oil, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) performed. Algae concentration UAE time varied following central composite rotatable design (CCRD) optimize conditions. parameters were analyzed oils: oxidation...
Anthropogenic CO2 emissions have led to the warming and acidification of oceans. Although, there is a growing evidence showing that simultaneous occurrence ocean are threats marine organisms, information on their combined effect coastal shrimp species remains scarce. The purpose this study was estimate effects seawater growth-related traits biochemical responses P. elegans juveniles. In work, were exposed for 65 days at 4 experimental conditions: pH 8.10 * 18 °C, 7.80 22 °C. results showed...
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract Pterospartum tridentatum flowers in stability sunflower oil. The was characterized regarding its antioxidant activity by 2,2,1‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging method (EC 50 = 76.3 ± 2.6 µg/mL) and total phenolic content (200 8 mg GAE/g). Extracts were added at 500 mg/L (E1) 1,000 (E2), after 30 days storage room temperature, E2 oil showed improved quality parameters, with a reduction 22.4%, 17.2%, 45.6% values...
Eligibility and indication for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with lymphoma are increasing. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a known complication of HSCT studies including miscellaneous hematological diagnoses using different definitions AKI. We aimed to evaluate incidence, risk factors prognostic impact AKI post-HSCT submitted the KDIGO classification both serum creatinine urinary output criteria. performed single-center retrospective cohort study admitted...
Granting the association of lactates with mortality has been largely documented in critically ill patients sepsis, its development acute kidney injury (AKI) this setting is not well established. We aimed to analyze serum at intensive care unit (ICU) admission occurrence AKI a cohort septic patients. Materials and methods: This study retrospective including 457 adult sepsis admitted Division Intensive Medicine Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Norte (Lisbon, Portugal) between January 2008 December...
For sustainable and economically viable aquaculture, it is necessary to search for alternative sources of aquafeeds. Algae have been studied because their bioactive compounds with several activities such as antioxidants. The direct incorporation the macroalgae Pelvetia canaliculata in sunflower oil increase oxidative stability biological value results waste high nutritional that may be used an ingredient aquaculture feed. This study aimed evaluate effect incorporating algae powder (PEL 1%,...
