- Antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of natural compounds: enhance the safety and quality of foodPublication . Faleiro, Maria Leonor; Miguel, Maria da GraçaNature has offered us a tremendous diversity of natural compounds, for which antimicrobial and antioxidant properties have been intensively explored and nowadays are plenty recognized. During the last decades both the antimicrobial action of natural compounds (preventing and limiting microbial growth) and their antioxidant properties (reducing the oxidation of fats and limiting the ripening and browning of fruit and vegetables after harvesting) have been intensively investigated, particularly in the food packaging sector, evidencing that they may represent an effective eco-friendly approach to enhance the safety and quality of food products, without an environmentally deleterious impact.
- Chemical and health risks of swimming pool maintenance workersPublication . Silva, Adriana; Pinto, Ezequiel; Braz, Nídia Maria Dias Azinheira RebeloSwimming pool maintenance workers are exposed to occupational hazards, as it involves the regular handling of toxic chemicals. These exposures can result in acute reactions or chronic complications. The present study, still in the design phase, aims to describe the chemical and biological exposure of workers of a swimming pool maintenance company and to verify its compliance with the safety standards in force. A quantitative questionnaire will identify the use of personal protective equipment, chemical agents, and handling procedures, particularly regarding the time and frequency of use.
- Destructive fishing: an expert‐driven definition and exploration of this quasi‐conceptPublication . McCarthy, Arlie Hannah; Steadman, Daniel; Richardson, Hannah; Murphy, Jack; Benbow, Sophie; Brian, Joshua I.; Brooks, Holly; Costa‐Domingo, Giulia; Hazin, Carolina; McOwen, Chris; Walker, Jessica; Willer, David F.; Abdi, Mohamad; Auster, Peter J.; Bealey, Roy; Bensted‐Smith, Robert; Broadburn, Kathryn; Carvalho, Gonçalo; Collinson, Tom; Erinosho, Bolanle; Fabinyi, Michael; Febrica, Senia; Forbi, Wilson Ngwa; Garcia, Serge M; Goad, David; Goldsworthy, Lynda; Govan, Hugh; Heaphy, Charles; Hiddink, Jan Geert; Hosch, Gilles; Kachelriess, Daniel; Kinch, Jeff; Lancaster, Alana Malinde S. N.; Manach, Frédéric Le; Matthews, Thomas; Ortiz, Alfonso Medellín; Morgan, Alexia; Motta, Helena; Murua, Hilario; Namboothri, Naveen; Ndiritu, Evelyne; Passfield, Kelvin; Pilcher, Nicolas J.; Portus, James O.; Rguez‐Baron, Juan M.; Robertson, Morven; Sharma, Abhilasha; Suazo, Cristián G.; Tamini, Leandro Luis; Vilata‐Simón, Juan; Mukherjee, NibeditaNumerous policy and international frameworks consider that “destructive fishing” hampers efforts to reach sustainability goals. Though ubiquitous, “destructive fishing” is undefined and therefore currently immeasurable. Here we propose a definition developed through expert consultation: “Destructive fishing is any fishing practice that causes irrecoverable habitat degradation, or which causes significant adverse environmental impacts, results in longterm declines in target or nontarget species beyond biologically safe limits and has negative livelihood impacts.” We show strong stakeholder support for a definition, consensus on many biological and ecological dimensions, and no clustering of respondents from different sectors. Our consensus definition is a significant step toward defining sustainable fisheries goals and will help interpret and implement global political commitments which utilize the term “destructive fishing.” Our definition and results will help reinforce the Food and Agricultural Organization’s Code of Conduct and meaningfully support member countries to prohibit destructive fishing practices.
- The influence of subclinical active inflammation on IFX pharmacokinetic modeling and disease progression assessment: findings from a prospective real-world study in inflammatory bowel disease patientsPublication . Magro, Fernando; Fernandes, Samuel; Patita, Marta; Arroja, Bruno; Lago, Paula; Rosa, Isadora; Sousa, Helena Tavares; Ministro, Paula; Mocanu, Irina; Vieira, Ana; Castela, Joana; Moleiro, Joana; Roseira, Joana; Cancela, Eugénia; Sousa, Paula; Portela, Francisco; Correia, Luís; Moreira, Paula; Dias, Sandra; Afonso, Joana; Danese, Silvio; Peyrin-Biroulet, Laurent; Vucicevic, Katarina M; Santiago, MafaldaBackground and aims: Effective management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) relies on a comprehensive understanding of infliximab (IFX) pharmacokinetics (PK). This study’s primary goal was to develop a robust PK model, identifying key covariates influencing IFX clearance (CL), while concurrently evaluating the risk of disease progression during the maintenance phase of IBD treatment. Methods: The multicenter, prospective, real-world DIRECT study was conducted in several care centers, which included 369 IBD patients in the maintenance phase of IFX therapy. A two-compartment population PK model was used to determine IFX CL and covariates. Logistic and Cox regressions were applied to elucidate the associations between disease progression and covariates embedded in the PK model. Results: The PK model included the contributions of weight, albumin, antidrug antibody (ADA), and fecal calprotectin (FC). On average, higher ADA, FC concentration and weight, and lower albumin concentration resulted in higher IFX CL. In the multivariate regression analyses, FC levels influenced the odds of disease progression in the majority of its definitions, when adjusted for several confounding factors. Additionally, alongside FC, both IFX and CL demonstrated a significant impact on the temporal aspect of disease progression. Conclusion: In this 2-year real-world study, readily available clinical covariates, notably FC, significantly impacted IFX availability in IBD patients. We demonstrated that subclinical active inflammation, as mirrored by FC or CRP, substantially influenced IFX clearance. Importantly, FC emerged as a pivotal determinant, not only of IFX pharmacokinetics but also of disease progression. These findings underscore the need to integrate FC into forthcoming IFX pharmacokinetic models, amplifying its clinical significance.
- Serviços de alimentação no Ensino Superior: Saúde e sustentabilidadePublication . Braz, Nídia Maria Dias Azinheira Rebelo; Soares, Aldina; Farinha, Carla; Sarreira, Pedro; Melo, Nuno; Andrade, Graça; Lima, João; Lopes, Cristiana; Avelar, David; Neto, Belmira; Oliveira, Heitor; Alves, ElsaA sustentabilidade alimentar assumiu uma relevância central nos desafios globais atuais. As Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) desempenham um papel estratégico neste contexto, através dos seus serviços de alimentação. Este artigo examinou as práticas de sustentabilidade alimentar nas IES portuguesas entre 2020 e 2024, através de um estudo em três fases: um inquérito inicial em 2020/21, entrevistas realizadas entre 2021 e 2023, e um questionário aplicado em 2024. Os resultados revelaram avanços significativos na implementação de práticas sustentáveis, destacando-se a oferta universal de opções vegetarianas/veganas e iniciativas para redução do desperdício alimentar. Contudo, persistiram desafios como a dificuldade de integração dos diferentes intervenientes do sistema alimentar e barreiras nos processos de compras públicas. As principais iniciativas implementadas focaram-se na promoção da alimentação saudável, da redução de resíduos plásticos e do desperdício alimentar. O estudo evidenciou também a importância da monitorização regular dos indicadores de gestão e da formação das equipas. Este trabalho contribuiu para a compreensão das barreiras e estratégias facilitadoras na transição para sistemas alimentares mais sustentáveis no Ensino Superior português.
