Nutrition education in portuguese medical students: impact on the attitudes and knowledge

Nutrition has been underrepresented in the curriculum of many medical schools and therefore physicians do not feel adequately prepared to provide dietary counselling. The aim of the present study is to determine the impact of a Nutrition and Metabolism curricular unit on nutrition attitudes, knowledge and confidence on future clinical practice of medical students.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Implications on Mineral Elements, Sugars and Fatty Acids Accumulation in Tissues

Funding Information: This work received funding from PDR2020-101-030734 and Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P. (FCT), Portugal, through the research units UIDB/04035/2020 (GeoBioTec), UIDB/00239/2020 (CEF) and UID/FIS/04559/2020 (LIBPhys) from the FCT/MCTES/PIDDAC. This work was further supported by the grant of Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) UI/BD/150718/2020. Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors.Following an agronomic approach for the Ca enrichment of Rocha pears, this study aimed to assess the interactions between mineral nutrients in fruit tissues at harvest and after storage for 5 months and to characterize the implications on the profile of sugars and fatty acids (FA). A total of seven foliar sprays (with concentrations of 0.1–0.6 kg·ha−1 Ca(NO3)2 and 0.8–8 kg·ha−1 CaCl2) were applied to pear trees. After harvest, the fruits were stored for 5 months, in environmentally controlled chambers, and the mineral contents in five regions (on the equatorial section) of the fruits were assessed, while the sugar and FA content were quantified. For both dates, all foliar sprayed treatments, at different extends, increased Ca content in the center and near the epidermis of Rocha pear fruits and the levels of K, Mn, Fe, Zn and Cu also varied. At harvest, the Ca treatments did not affect the levels of sucrose, glucose, fructose and sorbitol and, after storage, their concentrations remained higher in Ca-treated fruits. Additionally, the tendency of the relative proportions of FA was C18:2 > C18:1 > C16:0 > C18:3 > C18:0 > chains inferior to 16 C ( C16:0 > C18:3 > C18:0 > C18:1 > chains inferior to 16 C (<16:0). It is concluded that the heterogeneous distribution of Ca in the tissues of Rocha pear fruits results from its absorption in the peel after Ca(NO3)2 and CaCl2 sprays and from the xylemic flux in the core prior to maturity. Additionally, the hydrolysis of complex polysaccharides affects the contents of simpler sugars during maturation, ripening and senescence, while storage decreases the amount of total fatty acids (TFA), but the double bond index (DBI) indicate that cell membrane fluidity remains unaffected.publishersversionpublishe

Zinc Biofortification in Vitis vinifera: Implications for Quality and Wine Production

Nowadays, there is a growing concern about micronutrient deficits in food products, with agronomic biofortification being considered a mitigation strategy. In this context, as Zn is essential for growth and maintenance of human health, a workflow for the biofortification of grapes from the Vitis vinifera variety Fernão Pires, which contains this nutrient, was carried out considering the soil properties of the vineyard. Additionally, Zn accumulation in the tissues of the grapes and the implications for some quality parameters and on winemaking were assessed. Vines were sprayed three times with ZnO and ZnSO4 at concentrations of 150, 450, and 900 g ha1 during the production cycle. Physiological data were obtained through chlorophyll a fluorescence data, to access the potential symptoms of toxicity. At harvest, treated grapes revealed significant increases of Zn concentration relative to the control, being more pronounced for ZnO and ZnSO4 in the skin and seeds, respectively. After winemaking, an increase was also found regarding the control (i.e., 1.59-fold with ZnSO4-450 g ha1). The contents of the sugars and fatty acids, as well as the colorimetric analyses, were also assessed, but significant variations were not found among treatments. In general, Zn biofortification increased with ZnO and ZnSO4, without significantly affecting the physicochemical characteristics of grapesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Atividade antimicrobiana de uma mistura de dois isômeros de glicosídeos fenilpropanóides de Arrabidaea harleyi A.H. Gentry (Bignoniaceae)

Arrabidaea harleyi A.H. Gentry (Bignoniaceae) is an ornamental plant found in some regions of the Atlantic forest in Brazil. From its bark a mixture of verbascoside and isoverbascoside was isolated. This mixture was shown to be active againstStaphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus mycoides, Enterecoccus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Serratia marcensisand Candida albicans. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was established by diffusion method.Arrabidaea harleyi A.H.

MAPEAMENTO TECNOLOGICO DE PATENTES PARA O TRATAMENTO DA MASTITE BOVINA

A mastite bovina é uma doença inflamatória e infecciosa da glândula mamária, que acomete em especial o gado leiteiro. Existem duas formas de apresentação, clínica e subclínica, diagnosticadas através de sinais, sintomas e realizações de exames. Existem medidas de controle acessíveis e eficientes contra esta doença. O desenvolvimento de tratamentos eficazes contra mastite tem sido o objetivo de muitas pesquisas nos últimos anos, verifica-se principalmente, a utilização de antibióticos e antimicrobianos desenvolvidos pela indústria farmacêutica. O intuito dessa pesquisa é abordar o mapeamento tecnológico das patentes para o tratamento da mastite, na base de patente Derwent Innovations IndexSM,, afim de caracterizar as pesquisas que estão sendo realizadas para o tratamento da mastite, constatando como países com maior número de depósitos: China, Europa e Estados Unidos da América, respectivamente. Sendo assim a busca de prospecção objetivou verificar os avanços e pesquisas tecnológicas que estão sendo realizadas sobre o tratamento de mastite bovina

Tecnologias norteadoras da regulação assistencial e o poder de governança para tomada de decisão dos gestores de saúde / Guiding technologies of assistential regulation for decision-making of health managers

O objetivo do estudo é avaliar as tecnologias que norteiam a regulação assistencial relacionado ao poder de governança para tomada de decisão dos gestores da Atenção Primária. Trata-se de um estudo de natureza qualitativa com aplicação do método de Revisão Integrativa e realizou-se a síntese do conhecimento e o agrupamento por similaridades em categorias temáticas. Identificou-se estudos que trouxeram respostas bem positivas no processo de regulação assistencial, que ao incorporar algumas tecnologias conseguiram organizar fluxos, otimizar oferta, compreender as demandas, tornar os recursos mais efetivos e os serviços mais eficazes. Alguns desafios precisam ser superados, como a aceitação de novas tecnologias, mudanças de atitude, planejamento e compreensão dos processos de trabalho por parte dos gestores e de todos os envolvidos no processo de regulação assistencial. 

Tecnologias de enfermagem para promoção do aleitamento materno: revisão integrativa da literatura

Objetivou-se realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre os tipos de tecnologias que o enfermeiro tem desenvolvido ou que o mesmo poderia utilizar para a promoção do aleitamento materno. Realizou-se em outubro de 2009 uma busca com os descritores aleitamento materno (breastfeeding), enfermagem (nursing) e tecnologia(technology) nas bases: CINAHL, Scopus, PubMed e LILACS. Encontraram-se 127 referências, das quais dez participaram da análise por atenderem aos critérios de seleção do estudo. Verificou-se que a maioria dos estudos (6 – 60%) foi encontrada no Pubmed, na língua inglesa (8 – 80%) e não citou o tipo de estudo (4 – 40%). Identificaramse 13 tipos de tecnologias para o cuidado, classificadas como dura (8 – 61,5%) e leve (5 – 38,5%), cujo principal público-alvo foi mães de crianças (9 – 90%), sendo a tecnologia mais utilizada o vídeo/filmagem (4 – 40%). Assim, deve-se estimular o uso de tecnologias, sobretudo as consideradas leves e leves-duras, por serem práticas, facilmente desenvolvidas e aplicáveis
