Caracterización de la biomasa de distintas especies de algas, enfocadas al consumo incluyéndolas en alimentos funcionales.

Comunicación en formato posterEn un contexto actual que dificulta el abastecimiento de la población de una manera sostenible, encontramos la necesidad de desarrollar nuevos sistemas de producción de alimentos, apostando en este caso por las algas. Éstas son una fuente segura y ambientalmente sostenible de alimentos y compuestos bioactivos con un alto valor nutricional. Este estudio se enmarca en el contexto del Proyecto ALGAHUB (TED2021- 131555B-C22). Dentro de dicho proyecto, la UMA trabaja en coordinación con la UCA en uno de los subproyectos, enfocado a la innovación y desarrollo de alimentos funcionales en un formato atractivo para el consumidor. Concretamente nuestro grupo se dedica a la caracterización de la composición interna de las algas, en busca de las más interesantes a nivel nutricional y funcional. Por su parte, UJA y UAL van a centrar sus esfuerzos en optimizar las tecnologías de producción a gran escala de la biomasa.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech

Examining the immune signatures of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy and the impact on neurodevelopment: Protocol of the SIGNATURE longitudinal study.

The COVID-19 pandemic represents a valuable opportunity to carry out cohort studies that allow us to advance our knowledge on pathophysiological mechanisms of neuropsychiatric diseases. One of these opportunities is the study of the relationships between inflammation, brain development and an increased risk of suffering neuropsychiatric disorders. Based on the hypothesis that neuroinflammation during early stages of life is associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and confers a greater risk of developing neuropsychiatric disorders, we propose a cohort study of SARS-CoV-2-infected pregnant women and their newborns. The main objective of SIGNATURE project is to explore how the presence of prenatal SARS-CoV-2 infection and other non-infectious stressors generates an abnormal inflammatory activity in the newborn. The cohort of women during the COVID-19 pandemic will be psychological and biological monitored during their pregnancy, delivery, childbirth and postpartum. The biological information of the umbilical cord (foetus blood) and peripheral blood from the mother will be obtained after childbirth. These samples and the clinical characterisation of the cohort of mothers and newborns, are tremendously valuable at this time. This is a protocol report and no analyses have been conducted yet, being currently at, our study is in the recruitment process step. At the time of this publication, we have identified 1,060 SARS-CoV-2 infected mothers and all have already given birth. From the total of identified mothers, we have recruited 537 SARS-COV-2 infected women and all of them have completed the mental health assessment during pregnancy. We have collected biological samples from 119 mothers and babies. Additionally, we have recruited 390 non-infected pregnant women

Introducción a la Odontología: Manual de prácticas

Este manual no es el resultado de «elaborar y conjuntar desde cero» diferentes textos de lectura, dibujos y esquemas sobre las actividades prácticas de la asignatura de Introducción a la Odontología (IO). Sí es - aprovechando todo lo mucho existente anteriormente sobre las prácticas de la asignatura – una actualización de los textos, una reconversión de estos, una adecuación de los esquemas, dibujos y fotografías, y un darle uniformidad en su estructura, y una distribución parcialmente diferente de cada actividad. Todo se ha realizado con la finalidad de dotarle de una organización de Libro-Manual que facilite la consulta, estudio y aprendizaje por parte de los estudiantes de Introducción a la Odontología, y un seguimiento de las prácticas para los profesores
