Grapes and wine musts harbor a complex microbiome, which plays crucial role in fermentation as it impacts on flavour and, consequently, its final quality value. Unveiling the microbiome dynamics, understanding ecological factors that explain such biodiversity, has been challenge to oenology. In this work, we tackle using metagenomics approach describe natural microbial communities, both fungal bacterial microorganisms, associated with spontaneous fermentations. For this, from six Portuguese...
Background: The increasingly fast development of mobile health technologies holds significant value for individuals dealing with mental conditions. However, inadequate consideration patients' preferences and expectations undermines real-world outcomes, including sustained adherence. Driven by the belief that specific characteristics, such as youth higher education, obsessive-compulsive disorder make them suitable digital adoption, we investigated mHealth-related desirability factors within...
Os microplásticos (MPs) são polímeros sintéticos de tamanho reduzido (< 5 mm) presentes em cosméticos e produtos higiene pessoal. Dividem-se primários, adicionados intencionalmente, secundários, resultantes da degradação plásticos maiores. Este trabalho aborda sua toxicidade, impactos na saúde humana no meio ambiente. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão narrativa literatura científica, considerando pesquisas publicadas bases dados como Scielo, PubMed SciSpace com descritores...

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has been considered as a pre-dementia stage, although the factors leading to Alzheimer's disease (AD) conversion remain controversial.Evaluate whether TOMM40 poly-T (TOMM40' 523) polymorphism is associated with risk and time from MCI AD secondly cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, disentangling APOE genotype.147 patients, 102 105 cognitively normal controls were genotyped for polymorphism. patients subdivided into two groups, group of that converted (MCI-AD)...
Bedridden patients risk presenting several problems caused by prolonged immobility, leading to a long recovery process. There is thus need develop solutions that ensure the implementation of physical rehabilitation programs in controlled and interactive way. In this context, ABLEFIT project aims medical device physically rehabilitate bedridden with immobility. A partnership was established between school nursing, business enterprises an engineering institute prototype. After creating...

Considering that this is a crucial factor sustained adherence driven belief specific characteristics (young highly educated) individuals obsessive-compulsive disorder are suitable digital adoption, we sought to investigate...
Biomarkers that accurately identify mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are of greater importance for Alzheimer's disease (AD) management and treatment. On the other hand, blood-based biomarkers not only more practical but also less invasive than common cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. In their report in Journal Disease, Wang collaborators identified 67 upregulated 220 downregulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). They further demonstrated 4 these lncRNAs could discriminate MCI from cognitively...
A sífilis é uma infecção bacteriana causada pelo Treponema pallidum, que pode ser transmitida sexualmente e verticalmente. No Brasil, a congênita (SC) foi reconhecida como doença de notificação compulsória desde 1986, sua incidência tem aumentado, afetando principalmente populações vulneráveis. o tratamento com penicilina benzatina fundamental para prevenir transmissão vertical, assim se tornou crucial reduzir complicações graves, malformações morte neonatal, sendo altamente eficaz...
Commercially available technical solutions used in physical rehabilitation processes have not responded effectively to the crucial needs of customized programs. As such, a partnership between nursing school, technological enterprises – ORTHOS XXI and WISEWARE - engineering institutes was established implement project entitled ABLEFIT overcome identified lack market. has main purpose making device market that ensures implementation programs controlled interactive way so patients can regain...
