Abstract
Trait prioritization studies have guided research, development and investment decisions for public-sector crop breeding programmes since the 1970s, but the research design, methods and tools underpinning these studies are not well understood. We used PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis Protocols) to evaluate research on trait ranking for major crops over the past 40 years (1980-2023). Data extraction and descriptive analysis on 657 papers show uneven attention to crops, lack of systematic sex disaggregation and regional bias. The lack of standardized trait data taxonomy across studies, and inconsistent research design and data collection practices make cross-comparison of findings impossible. In addition, network mapping of authors and donors shows patterns of concentration and the presence of silos within research areas. This study contributes to the next generation of innovation in trait preference studies to produce more inclusive, demand-driven varietal design that moves beyond trait prioritization focused on productivity and yield.

Abstract
Quantum electrodynamics (QED), the quantum field theory that describes the interaction between light and matter, is commonly regarded as the best-tested quantum theory in modern physics. However, this claim is mostly based on extremely precise studies performed in the domain of relatively low field strengths and light atoms and ions1-6. In the realm of very strong electromagnetic fields such as in the heaviest highly charged ions (with nuclear charge Z ≫ 1), QED calculations enter a qualitatively different, non-perturbative regime. Yet, the corresponding experimental studies are very challenging, and theoretical predictions are only partially tested. Here we present an experiment sensitive to higher-order QED effects and electron-electron interactions in the high-Z regime. This is achieved by using a multi-reference method based on Doppler-tuned X-ray emission from stored relativistic uranium ions with different charge states. The energy of the 1s1/22p3/2 J = 2 → 1s1/22s1/2 J = 1 intrashell transition in the heaviest two-electron ion (U90+) is obtained with an accuracy of 37 ppm. Furthermore, a comparison of uranium ions with different numbers of bound electrons enables us to disentangle and to test separately the one-electron higher-order QED effects and the bound electron-electron interaction terms without the uncertainty related to the nuclear radius. Moreover, our experimental result can discriminate between several state-of-the-art theoretical approaches and provides an important benchmark for calculations in the strong-field domain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, improvement of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in Ulcerative colitis (UC) has become a relevant measure for treatment efficacy. METHODS We report results from a multicenter prospective study in Italy investigating HRQoL in adult patients with UC treated with golimumab (GLM). Patients who had shown clinical response after a 6-week induction phase (w0), were followed for an additional 48 weeks (w48) (total 54-week treatment). RESULTS Of the 159 patients enrolled 90 completed the study. Compared to values at the beginning of treatment (n = 137), significant improvements were observed for mean total Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) scores at w0 (168.5) and w48 (181.7). Patients with baseline PMS above the median tended to have greater improvements in IBDQ at w0 (OR 2.037, p = 0.033) and w48 (OR 3.292, p = 0.027). Compared to beginning of GLM treatment, the mean Full Mayo Score (FMS) decreased by 5.9 points at w48, while mean Partial Mayo Score (PMS) decreased by 3.9 points at w0 and by 4.9 points at w48. CONCLUSIONS GLM improved HRQoL, disease activity and inflammatory biomarkers in UC patients with moderate-to-severely active disease. The greater the burden of disease activity at baseline, the greater the improvement of HRQoL after 24 and 48 weeks of treatment.

Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most economically and socially important cereals in the world. Several strategies such as biofortification have been developed in a way eco-friendly and sustainable to enhance crop productivity. This study implemented an agronomic itinerary in Ariete and Ceres rice varieties in experimental fields using the foliar application of selenium (Se) to increase rice nutritional value. At strategic phases of the plant's development (at the end of booting, anthesis, and at the milky grain stage), they were sprayed with sodium selenate (Na2SeO4) and sodium selenite (Na2SeO3). In the first foliar application plants were sprayed with 500 g Se·ha-1 and in the remaining two foliar applications were sprayed with 300 g Se·ha-1. The effects of Se in the level of micro and macronutrients in brown grains, the localization of Se in these grains, and the subsequent quality parameters such as colorimetric characteristics and total protein were considered. After grain harvesting, the application of selenite showed the highest enrichment in all grain with levels reaching 17.06 µg g-1 Se and 14.28 µg g-1 Se in Ariete and Ceres varieties, respectively. In the Ceres and Ariete varieties, biofortification significantly affected the K and P contents. Regarding Ca, a clear trend prevailed suggesting that Se antagonizes the uptake of it, while for the remaining elements in general (except Mn) no significant differences were noted. Protein content increased with selenite treatment in the Ariete variety but not in Ceres. Therefore, it was possible to conclude, without compromising quality, that there was an increase in the nutritional content of Se in brown rice grain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is rapid growth of older people in Low- and Middle- Income Countries (LMICs). The aim of this review was to assess the literature on prevalence of anxiety and depression in this demographic, which to our knowledge, has not yet been conducted. METHODS Databases including Medline, PsychInfo, Embase, Scielo and African Journals Online were searched for terms including "mental disorders", "neurotic disorders", "mood disorders" and "anxiety disorders". Studies published between 1990 and 2020 providing data on older people (≥50 years) in LMICs (defined by World Bank Criteria) were included and quality-assessed. Meta-analysis was conducted on a subset of higher-quality studies to derive pooled prevalence estimates of depression. RESULTS One hundred and forty relevant studies were identified, of which thirty-two were included in meta-analysis. One hundred and fifteen studies reported depression prevalence only, 19 reported both depression and anxiety, and six reported anxiety only. In all studies identified, depression prevalence ranged from 0.5 % to 62.7 %, and Generalised Anxiety Disorder prevalence ranged from 0.2 % to 32.2 %. The pooled prevalence of depression on meta-analysis was 10.5 % (95 % CI, 8.9 % - 11.2 %). Reported prevalence rates of depression were significantly different in studies using ICD-10 compared with DSM criteria, and between community and clinical settings. LIMITATIONS The search strategy contained bias towards English language papers and high income country (HIC) publications. There is significant heterogeneity within the meta-analysis. DISCUSSION A wide range of methodologies and clinical criteria are used in prevalence studies of depression and anxiety in older people. Studies using screening tools found higher prevalence rates; clinicians and researchers should ensure diagnosis is made with gold-standard clinical criteria. Meta-analysis data suggest that rates of depression are similar in older people in LMICs compared to HICs but mental healthcare resources are limited, suggesting a large potential treatment gap.

Abstract
AIMS Cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates are approximately 55% higher in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) along the Texas-Mexico border compared with the average rates in the US. Our aim was to improve cervical cancer prevention efforts in the RGV through a comprehensive multilevel intervention initiative focused on community education, patient navigation, and training of local providers. METHODS We initiated a program in the RGV which consisted of (1) community education, (2) patient navigation, and (3) a training/mentoring program for local medical providers including hands-on training courses coupled with telementoring using Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Health Outcomes). We assessed the number of women undergoing cervical cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment at three participating clinics caring for underserved women in the region. RESULTS From November 2014 to October 2018, 14,846 women underwent cervical cancer screening. A total of 2030 (13.7%) women underwent colposcopy for abnormal results (179% increase over baseline) and 453 women underwent loop electrosurgical excision procedures (LEEPs) for treatment of cervical dysplasia. Invasive cancer was diagnosed in 39 women who were navigated to a gynecologic oncologist for treatment. Seven local medical providers were trained to perform colposcopy and/or LEEP. Project ECHO telementoring videoconferences were held every 2 weeks for a total 101 sessions with an average of 22 participants per session and a total of 180 patient cases presented and discussed. CONCLUSIONS Our program led to a large number of women undergoing diagnosis and treatment of cervical dysplasia in the RGV. If sustained, we anticipate these efforts will decrease cervical cancer rates in the region. The program is currently being expanded to additional underserved areas of Texas and globally to low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Evidence on the incidence and risk factors of frailty in low- and middle-income countries is very limited. We aimed to compare the incidence of frailty and explore its determinants in rural and urban areas in six Latin American countries and China.
Methods
The 10/66 is a multi-site cohort study in older adults. We conducted baseline and follow-up surveys in 2003-2006, and 2007-2010. We assessed frailty using a modified Fried frailty phenotype criterion, and adjudicated frailty (yes/no) when two or more of the following indicators were present: exhaustion, low physical activity, slow gait speed, and weight loss. We excluded frail participants at baseline and calculated person-years as the time interval between baseline and follow-up for frailty-free people who were survived and reinterviewed or the midpoint of it for incident frailty cases. We used Poisson and Cox regressions to model the incidence of frailty and its risk factors.
Results
We included 9,747 participants (≥65 years) for the analysis of frailty risk factors. Of whom, 8,212 were reinterviewed with an average of 4.0 years of follow-up, the incidence of frailty was lowest in Venezuela (21.9 per 1000 person-years) and rural Peru (24.3 per 1000 person-years), highest in rural Mexico (110.5 per 1000 person-years) and urban Peru (84.0 per 1000 person-years). In the overall Cox regression, we found significant prospective associations of incident frailty with living in rural areas (HR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.69, 2.29), dementia (HR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.42, 2.18), depression (HR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.49, 1.93), comorbidity, female gender, older age, disability, hearing, and vision problems. Higher arm circumference was associated with a lower frailty risk (HR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.96, 0.98).
Conclusions
The incidence of frailty varied substantially in Latin America and China, and between urban and rural areas. The identified risk factors could be potential intervention targets to decrease the global burden of frailty.
Key messages
• In Latin America and China, the incidence of frailty varied from 21.9 to 110.5 cases per 1000 person-years.
• We identified 9 risk factors and 1 protective factor for developing frailty, and the most relevant risk factors were living in the rural area, dementia, and depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Telemedicine (TM) has had a powerful impact in recent years, particularly on managing chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Knowing patients' expectations and concerns is essential to increase their confidence in this mode of medical care. PATIENTS AND METHODS We interviewed a large cohort of IBD patients enrolled at two Italian tertiary referral centers to investigate their trust in TM. RESULTS A total of 376 patients completed the survey and were included in the study: 293 (77.9%) considered TM valuable for managing their disease, and 307 (85%) wanted to have TM service at their center. However, only 99 patients (26.3%) believed that TM guarantees the same level of care as the in-person visit. Among the socio-demographic variables, those independently associated with trust in TM were the higher education qualification (p=0.02) and the level of competence in information and communication technologies (ICT) (p=0.03). CONCLUSIONS Our findings highlighted the importance of equipping IBD patients with basic ICT skills to utilize TM services and increase their confidence in ICT with the help of caregivers. Additionally, to improve the perceived value of TM, it will be helpful to use additional tools such as telemonitoring of disease activity using patients' reported outcomes or remote measurement of fecal calprotectin.

Abstract
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 ha-1 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 ha-1). 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 grapes.

Abstract
BackgroundThe definitions of remission play a crucial role in the treat-to-target strategy in rheumatoid arthritis.The patient’s and physician’s global assessment (PGA|PhGA) of disease activity are considered in current definitions, but PGA has been criticized for its poor relationship with actual disease activity. This leads to a considerable risk of overtreatment in patients who are otherwise in remission but fail this target solely because of PGA: PGA-near-remission. A dual-target strategy, excluding PGA from the definition of biological remission and the creation of a second target focused on disease impact has been proposed.1 Another proposal is to substitute PGA by PhGA with the purpose of strengthening the definition with a fourth variable capable of conveying relevant unaccounted factors, such as comorbidity.2ObjectivesTo assess the relationship of PGA and PhGA with objective measures of disease activity (DAS3v) and their impact upon near-remission and risk of overtreatment.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional analysis of data from RAID.PT, an observational, prospective and multicenter study, including adult patients fulfilling RA classification criteria. Tender (TJC28) and swollen (SJC28) 28 joint counts, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Pain score, Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), the Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease (RAID) total score, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores, PGA and PhGA were collected. Disease Activity Score (DAS28-3v-CRP) was calculated and taken as the reference measure of current disease activity. Correlation between PGA and PhGA with other continuous variables was evaluated through Pearson´s Correlation Coefficient and variables with p<0.10 in univariate analysis were included in multivariable linear regression models.ResultsWe included 299 patients, 81.3% women, mean age of 57.4±12.0 years and disease duration 9.4±9.5 years. Average DAS28-3v-PCR 2.4 (±1.9).DAS3v-CRP is the strongest factor associated with PhGA, explaining 45% of its variance. Inversely, it only explains 2% of the variance of PGA, which is more affected by disease impact.In this clinical cohort, 13% of patients were in full Boolean remission and 41% in PGA-near-remission. Only 49 of 123 patients in the latter group had a PhGA >1.Considering PhGA instead of PGA in the Boolean definition of remission would increase the proportion of remission from 13 to 37.5% of the whole cohort.Table 1.Factors Associated with PGA and PhGA in multivariate regression analysisPGAPhGA(β, 95% CI)(β, 95% CI)(β, 95% CI)ΔR2ΔR2DAS28-3v-CRP3.7 (1.9-5.5)10.9 (9.4 to12.5)0.020.45RAID7.7 (6.7-8.8)3.4 (2.5 to 4.3)0.610.09HAQ5.6 (1.0-8.1)-3.4 (-6.4 to -0.4)0.010.01R20.64*0.55*DAS28-3v-CRP: Disease Activity Score-3 variables C-Reactive Protein.

ΔR2 change of R2associated with the inclusion of the variable in the model. *p<0,01ConclusionPhGA is a closer representation of actual disease activity than PGA, thus providing a more valid basis for treatment decisions aimed at disease activity. These observations support the substitution of PGA by PhGA in the Boolean definition of remission as it would strengthen the representation of disease activity and significantly reduce the risk of overtreatment in comparison to current definitions. The consequences of this change upon the prediction of long-term function and structural stability warrant evaluation. The patient’s perspective will remain central to disease management in the form of a distinct target.References[1]Ferreira et al.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mercury (Hg) is a globally ubiquitous pollutant and one of the most dangerous metal contaminants, which presents a high risk of bioaccumulation in living organisms. In this study, we mapped the distribution of Hg and other trace elements in zebrafish (Danio rerio), which were exposed to mercury (II) chloride in order to assess its toxicity, bioaccumulation and distribution in fish organs. METHODS Adult zebrafish were exposed for 7 days to different concentrations of mercury (II) chloride and the elemental distribution was obtained through the micro-energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence technique (μ-EDXRF). RESULTS The results showed that Hg levels, measured in fish tissues, were indicative of bioaccumulation within some of its organs (e.g. visceral mass, gills), and that the physiological processes of accumulation were highly dose-dependent. In addition, the results showed higher concentrations of Hg in the gills. Moreover, other trace elements (e.g. Fe, Cu and Zn) levels were not altered after fish exposure to mercury(II) chloride. CONCLUSION The μ-EDXRF results were assessed along with the determination of some oxidative stress biomarkers (e.g. antioxidant enzymes) to understand the effects behind the Hg bioaccumulation and toxicity. These results suggest that the metabolic changes in zebrafish due to the exposure to Hg are consistent with oxidative stress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to demonstrate that for patients undergoing mastectomy the use of the proprioceptive memory represents a valid method to identify the perfect position of the nipple, which will be reconstructed on an operated breast. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-one patients undergoing breast reconstruction after unilateral Modified Radical Mastectomy or unilateral Skin Sparing Mastectomy were included in the study. All patients were asked to identify, while keeping their eyes closed, the mammary segment where they perceived their nipples, both on the reconstructed breast mound and on the contralateral breast. Sternal Notch-to-nipple distance (SN), Nipple-to-inframammary Fold distance (NF), Midclavicular line-to-nipple distance (CN), the distance from the nipple to the chest Midline (NM), Anterior Axillary line-to-nipple distance (ZN) were measured on both breasts. The ideal position of the nipple to be reconstructed was evaluated using a geometric method based on the Pythagorean Theorem. RESULTS A statistically significant correlation emerges between the distances measured from the anatomical landmarks of the chest to the point coinciding with the patient's perception of the nipple on the reconstructed breast, and the distances measured from the same chest landmarks to the nipple on the contralateral native breast and to the nipple placed in the ideal position assessed with the geometric method. CONCLUSIONS The patient's proprioceptive memory of the nipple position can be useful to identify the exact place to reconstruct the nipple in breast reconstruction.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the elemental composition of fifteen algae-based supplements commonly sold in the Portuguese market, by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence. Despite the fact that the majority of Kelp samples were a good source of iodine, the levels observed might well contribute to an excess in the human body, which can cause dysfunction of the thyroid gland. Furthermore, the presence of lead in Sea spaghetti, Arame, Hijiki and Wakame caused a considerable risk to public health vis a vis possible ingestion of a high daily dose. Regarding arsenic, great variability was observed in all the samples with concentrations equal to or above 60 μg/g in the case of Arame, KelpJ and Hijiki. Although algae mainly accumulate organic arsenic, some also contain high levels of its inorganic form, as is commonly pointed out for Hijiki. Thus, regular ingestion of these supplements must also take into account the mentioned facts. There is no doubt that these supplements are also good sources of other nutrients, but the lack of accurate regulations and control should alert consumers to avoid indiscriminate use of these types of products.

Abstract
The use of nanomaterials to improve medical diagnostics and therapeutics has been rapidly increasing. Among these materials are gold nanoparticles, which can be functionalized to target specific cells, acting as nanovectors for drug delivery, enhanced contrast agents as well as other targeted therapies. Au nanoparticles are very useful as they selectively accumulate in tumour sites due to the enhanced permeability-retention effect. There is however little information about the spatial distribution of the nanoparticles within tumours, which might hinder efficient therapies. In this study, X-ray fluorescence was used to investigate the diffusion of gold nanoparticles in cancer cell spheroids mimicking true tumour growth. Functionalization of the nanoparticles has the effect of allowing better diffusion into and out of the spheroid, while those nanoparticles that are only partially covered rapidly formed aggregates. This clustering led to size exclusion during transport within the tumour, changing its distribution profile while greatly increasing the nanoparticle concentration.

Abstract
Background:Fatigue is a frequent and commonly undervalued symptom among rheumatic disease, including Systemic Sclerosis (SSc).1,2Objectives:To determine the prevalence of severe fatigue in a SSc cohort and to evaluate how it correlates with disability, quality of life and mental illness.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted evaluating a cohort of SSc patients. Fatigue was evaluated using Functional Assessment Chronic Illness Therapy (Fatigue) (FACIT-F) questionnaire. A value < 30 was defined as severe fatigue. Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Scleroderma HAQ (SHAQ), 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaires were also filled. Clinical data was obtained and analysed.Results:We included 20 patients, 17 females [n = 17 (85%)], median (min, max) age was 52.5 (28, 75) years-old. Regarding disease classification, 13 (65%) had limited SSc, 4 (20%) had diffuse SSc and 3 (15%) had early SSc. The median FACIT-F score was 34 (3, 48). The prevalence of severe fatigue was 40% (n = 8). Fatigue had a moderate negative correlation with HAQ (τ = -0.641; p < 0.001) and a weak negative correlation with lung (τ = -0.345; p = 0.039) and gastrointestinal (τ = -0.419; p = 0.011) involvements and with patient global assessment (τ = -0.325; p = 0.047) subtopics of SHAQ. A moderate positive correlation was found between FACIT-F and EQ-5D (τ =0.625; p < 0.001) and physical functioning (τ = 0.560; p = 0.001) and vitality (τ = 0.777; p < 0.001) domains of SF-36. The remaining SF-36 domains had a weak positive correlation with FACIT-F (Table 1). Regarding mental illness, there was a moderate negative correlation between FACIT-F and HADS-D (τ = -0.638; p < 0.001) and HADS-A (τ =-0.535; p = 0.001).Conclusion:Severe fatigue is frequent among SSc patients. The greater the fatigue, the greater the disability, the lower the quality of life and the worse the score on the scale of depression and anxiety.References:[1]F. Basta, A. Afeltra, D.P.E. Margiotta.

Abstract
Background:It is estimated that the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is involved in about 90% of patients with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc).1 The UCLA Scleroderma Clinical Trials Consortium Gastrointestinal Tract 2.0 (UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0) questionnaire has been validated in several countries as a useful tool in the assessment of GI symptoms in this pathology.2Objectives:To assess whether the application of the questionnaire has an added value in clinical practice by comparing the frequency of GI symptoms found during the clinical evaluation in the consultation vs. application of the questionnaire.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out in a cohort of patients with SSc. During the consultation, patients were asked about the presence of GI symptoms and the UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0 questionnaire was handed in for completion. Subgroups that analyse reflux, bloating, dirt, diarrhea and constipation were evaluated and their responses were transformed into dichotomous variables (present/absent). Clinical data was obtained and analysed.Results:27 patients were included, most of them female [n = 23 (85.2%)], with an average age of 53.3 ± 13.5 years. All patients met the classification criteria of Leroy/Medsger of 2001 or ACR/EULAR of 2013: 14 (51.9%) had limited ES, 6 (22.2%) had Overlap Syndrome, 4 (14.8%) had diffuse ES and 3 (11.1%) had early SS. The prevalence of symptoms in all evaluated subgroups was higher in the questionnaire than in the clinical evaluation, with a statistically significant difference in the reflux subgroup [n = 16 (59.3%) vs. n = 13 (48.1%), p = 0.018]. In the remaining subgroups, this difference, although not statistically significant, was also found [abdominal distension n = 20 (74.2%) vs. n = 1 (3.7%), p = 1.0; dirt n = 2 (7.4%) vs. n = 0 (0%); diarrhea n = 22 (91.7%) vs. n = 3 (11.1%), p = 1.0; constipation n = 11 (40.7%) vs. n = 4 (14.8%), p = 0.273]. In the clinical evaluation, 12 patients said they were asymptomatic from the GI point of view, but all of them reported some GI symptoms when filling out the questionnaire. The subgroups in which the disagreement between the answers during the clinical evaluation and the filling out of the questionnaire were more frequent were distension [n = 19 (70.4%) and diarrhea [n = 19 (79.2%)].Conclusion:The results of the present study reinforce the usefulness of the UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0 questionnaire, usually more applied in clinical trials, in clinical practice, concluding that it allows to find more GI symptoms in patients with SSc than the clinical evaluation in a consultation, this difference being statistically significant in the subgroup that evaluates reflux. The considerable difference found in the subgroups that assess symptoms of the low GI tract, such as diarrhea and constipation, although non statistical significant, may be due to the fact that the patient does not feel comfortable talking about it, a struggle that can be overcome with application of the questionnaire. On the other hand, this tool can also be a means of quantifying the severity of symptoms, monitoring their progress and making the consultation time more profitable. More studies with larger samples are needed to continue studying its role in clinical practice.References:[1]Kirby DF and Chatterjee.

Abstract
Background:Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic disease with multi-organ manifestations that may contribute to disability and low quality of life.1 Therefore, anxiety and depression are more frequent in SSc patients than in general population.2Objectives:To assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression in a SSc cohort and to evaluate its correlation with function, quality of life and assessment of gastrointestinal (GI) involvement scores.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted evaluating a cohort of SSc patients. All patients answered to the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. A cut-off score < 8 was considered normal. Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Scleroderma HAQ (SHAQ), 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) and University Of California, Los Angeles, Scleroderma Clinical Trials Consortium Gastrointestinal Scale (UCLA SCTC GIT) 2.0 questionnaires were also obtained. Clinical data was obtained and analyzed.Results:We included 20 patients, 17 females [n = 17 (85%)], median (min, max) age was 52.5 (28, 75) years-old. Regarding disease classification, 13 (65%) had limited SSc, 4 (20%) had diffuse SSc and 3 (15%) had early SSc. A score ≥ 8 was found in 14 (70%) patients on HADS-A [median (min, max) = 9 (2, 19)] and in 12 (60%) patients on HADS-D [median (min, max) = 8 (1, 15)]. Depressive patients had significantly worst scores on the measures of function, such as HAQ and lung and gastrointestinal involvements and patient global assessment of SHAQ, of quality of life, such as EQ-5D and physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, vitality, social functioning and mental health domains of SF-36, and on the UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0 scale. Anxious patients had significantly worst scores on social functioning and mental health domains of SF-36 and on the UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0 scale (Table 1).Conclusion:The prevalence of depression and anxiety on SSc patients is high and should not be neglected. Overall disability and multiorgan manifestations, particularly GI involvement, may contribute to a low quality of life and consequently to depression and anxiety.References:[1]Firestein & Kelley’s Textbook of Rheumatology 2-Volume Set, 11th Edition[2]Brett D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE From September 2020, a second wave of COVID-19 pandemic started. We aimed at exploring the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in IBD patients during the two waves. PATIENTS AND METHODS All IBD patients with a confirmed diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection were enrolled. They were sorted into two groups (those infected before September 2020, and those from September 2020 to January 2021) and compared by demographic and clinical data. RESULTS Twenty-five patients (out of about 600 with a follow-up visit) were infected with SARS-CoV-2 (4.1%). Sixteen were male and the mean age was 46.5 ± 14.3 years (range 24-74). Six were smokers and 11 had comorbidities; 2 were on steroids and 17 on immunosuppressants or biologics. Three patients (12%) needed hospitalization and other three patients were treated with azithromycin, steroids and LMWH, all of them during the second wave. No patient died or developed any sequelae. Two subjects were infected during the first wave (0.3 vs. 3.83, p<0.0001). Non-significant differences were found between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS A higher number of IBD patients were infected during the second wave. No patient developed a severe form of pneumonia, even those treated with immunosuppressants or biologics. No risk factor for hospitalization was found.

Abstract
The contamination of abandoned mining areas is a problem worldwide that needs urgent attention. Phytoremediation emerges as a successful method to extract different contaminants from the soil. In this context, Eucalyptus globulus plants growing in soils artificial contaminated with arsenic (As) were used to access its phytoremediation capabilities. The effects of As on photosynthetic performance were monitored through different physiological parameters, whereas the uptake and translocation of As and the putative effects on calcium, iron, potassium, and zinc levels on plants were evaluated by X-ray fluorescence analysis. Root system is the major accumulator organ, while the translocation to the above-ground organs is poor. In the end of the experiment, the root biomass of plants treated with 200 μg As mL-1 is 27% and 49.7% lower than equivalent biomass from plants treated with 100 μg As mL-1 and control plants, respectively. Each plant can accumulate 8.19 and 8.91 mg As after a 6-month period, when submitted to 100 As and 200 As, respectively. It seems to exist an antagonistic effect of As on Zn root uptake by E. globulus. In general, the tested concentrations do not influence negatively plant metabolism, indicating that this species is suitable for plantation in contaminated areas.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the efficiency of Ca enrichment in tubers of three genotypes of Solanum tuberosum L., through foliar spraying with CaCl2 and Ca(NO3)2 solutions. In this context, soil heterogeneity of three potato-growing fields, as well as the implications of Ca accumulation among tissues and some quality parameters were assessed. Three potato varieties (Agria, Picasso and Rossi) were grown in three production fields and during the life cycle, four pulverizations with calcium chloride (3 and 6 kg ha−1) or calcium nitrate (0.5, 2 and 4 kg ha−1) were applied. For screening the potential phytotoxicity, using Agria as a test system, the potential synthesis of photoassimilates was determined, and it was found that after the 3rd Ca application, leaf gas exchanges were moderately (net photosynthesis), to strongly (stomatal conductance) affected, although without impact on Ca accumulation in tubers. At harvest, the average Ca biofortification index varied between 5–40%, 40–35% and 4.3–13% in Agria, Picasso and Rossi, respectively. Moreover, the equatorial region of the tubers in general showed that Ca accumulation prevailed in the epidermis and, in some cases, in inner areas of the potato tubers. Biofortified tubers with Ca also showed some significant changes in total soluble solids and colorimetric parameters. It is concluded that Ca enrichment of potato tubers through foliar spraying complemented the xylem mass flow of Ca from roots, through phloem redistribution. Both fertilizers showed similar efficiency, but Rossi revealed a lower index of Ca accumulation, eventually due to different metabolic characteristics. Although affected by Ca enrichment, potato tubers maintained a high quality for industrial processing.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the implications of Zn enrichment in wheat grains as a function of contrasting genotypes, edaphic conditions and foliar fertilizers. Triticum aestivum L. varieties Roxo and Paiva were grown in four production fields, and sprayed with ZnSO4 (0, 16.20 and 36.40 kg/ha) Zn-EDTA (0, 6.30 and 12.60 kg/ha) and Tecnifol Zinc (0, 3.90 and 7.80 kg/ha). The heterogeneous edaphic conditions of the wheat fields were chemically characterized, it being found that soil properties determine different Zn accumulation in the grains of both genotypes. Foliar spraying enhanced to different extents Zn content in the grains of both genotypes, but the average of enrichment indexes varied among the wheat fields. Zinc mostly accumulated in the embryo and vascular bundle and to a lesser extent in the endosperm. Grain yield and test weight sprayed by ZnSO4 gave the highest values in both genotypes, but the opposite was found for Zn-EDTA. Considering the color parameters, lightness and red-green transitions were found to be a conjunction of genotype characteristics, fertilization types and edaphic conditions prevailing in each field. It is concluded that the index of Zn enrichment in wheat grains is a docket of edaphic conditions, genotype and type of fertilization.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Research in resource allocation is a need arising from State interference by the allocative function, which seeks to promote resource adjustments with the provision of certain goods and public services (Musgrave, 1974; Musgrave & Musgrave, 1980, Longo & Troster, 1993). In this perspective, a research question arises: how has international literature on the field of Business, Management and Accounting been approaching resource allocation in public health?
Methods
Systematic Literature Review through the Scopus Database. keywords: “public health” and “resource allocation”. The types were Article and Review. Language: English, since it is internationally accepted in scientific articles, and Portuguese, in order to include Brazilian research. Search period: from 1976 to 2017. Areas: “Business, Management and Accounting”. The performed analysis technique was qualitative meta-synthesis and by using the MAXQDA Analytics Pro 18 software.
Results
The first identified study was in 2000 Sweden, pulished in Health Care Management Science. The most recente in 2017 Brazil, published in Evaluation and Program Planning. Among the countries that presented the largest production, the United States is highlighted (4). Dispersion of publication among reviews was noted. Generally, publications are grouped in four perspectives: adequate allocation, resource management and effective cost; resource allocation for treating specific diseases; resource allocation for decision-making; and health evaluation and the need of informing resource allocation. The prevailing lack of theoretical grounding must be highlighted.
Conclusions
Can be inferred that this production is recent, that it does not possess a specific focus or outline, as there is a variety of approaches, most of them being geared towards healthcare and disease control, such as cancer, diabetes, overweight, rabies, malaria and infectious diseases.
Key messages
International literature indicates that the theme is yet unexplored in the field of Business, Management e Accounting and most studies are geared towards healthcare and disease control. Allocation in the public-health policy as a function of the role of the State in providing the necessary budget for financial availability and not cost-wise, suggests lack of research.

Abstract
The increasing demand of organic agriculture (OA) is based on the consumer's belief that organic agricultural products are healthier, tastier and more nutritious. The effect of OA and conventional agriculture (CA) methods on the elemental compositions of green and red sweet peppers were studied. The highest concentrations of Ca, Cu, K and P occur in peppers from OA in both states of ripeness, with emphasis on Ca and K contents. Furthermore, the principal component analysis (PCA), points out to a clear separation, regarding concentrations, between peppers from OA and CA. The average fruit weight is higher in OA, 141 g versus 112 g in CA. Regarding productivity, CA reaches a value of 30.1 t/ha, 7% higher than the value observed for OA, i.e., 28 t/ha. Peppers from CA, exhibited greater protein content than those which originated from OA, regardless of the ripening stage, but not more ashes. Regarding nutritional ratios, the ripening stage and the production mode, can be important for an adequate choice regarding a more balanced Ca/P ratio, and the studied variety contained high Ca values ranging between 1009 and 1930 mg.kg-1. The PCA analysis also revealed that Mn and Fe are inversely correlated, confirming the importance of the Mn/Fe ratio evaluation in nutritional studies.

Abstract
Background:In recent years more attention has been given to patients reported outcomes (PROs). Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is no exception. As there is no effective treatment or cure to SSc, it is important to recognize the relevance to patients of the different features of the disease to improve quality and enjoyment of life: the ultimate targets of therapy. Remarkably lacking in PROs is the evaluation of the overall perspective of subjective well being, equivalent to ‘happiness’ or “positive psychological dimensions”.Objectives:To examine the determinants of happiness and quality of life (QoL) in patients with SSc with emphasis on disease activity, disease impact and personality traits.Methods:This is an observational, cross-sectional and multicenter study from six rheumatology clinics in Portugal. A total of 113 patients with SSc with a complete set of data on disease activity, disease impact, personality, quality of life and happiness were included.Structural equation modelling (latent variable structural model) was used to estimate the association between the variables using a maximum likelihood estimation with Satorra-Bentler’s correction and performed with STATA® 15.0. Two hypotheses were pursued: H1 – Disease activity and impact of disease are negatively associated to overall QoL and happiness; H2 – ‘Positive’ personality traits are related to happiness both directly and indirectly through perceived disease impact.Results:Results obtained in the structural equation measurement model indicated a good fit [χ2/df=1.44; CFI=0.93; TLI=0.90; RMSEA=0.06] and supported all driving hypotheses (Figure 1). Happiness was positively related to ‘positive’ personality (β=0.45, p=0.01) and, to a lesser extent, negatively related with impact of disease (β=-0.32; p=0.01). This impact, in turn, was positively related to EUSTAR activity score (β=0.37; p<0.001) and mitigated by ‘positive’ personality traits (β=-0.57; p<0.001). Impact of disease had a much stronger relation with QoL than with happiness (β=-0.78, p<0.001). Quality of life and happiness had no statistically significant relationship.Conclusion:Optimization of Qol and happiness in people with SSc requires effective control of the disease process. Personality and its effects upon the patient´s perception of the disease impact, seems to play a pivotal mediating role in these relations and should deserve paramount attention if happiness and enjoyment of life is taken as the ultimate goal of health care.Disclosure of Interests:Tânia Santiago: None declared, Eduardo Santos: None declared, Ana Catarina Duarte: None declared, Patrícia Martins: None declared, Marlene Sousa: None declared, Franscisca Guimarães: None declared, Soraia Azevedo: None declared, Raquel Ferreira: None declared, Miguel Guerra: None declared, Ana Cordeiro Consultant of: Ana Cordeiro has acted as a consultant for Roche, Speakers bureau: Ana Cordeiro has received speaker fees from Boehringer Ingelheim, Lilly, and Vitoria, Inês Cordeiro: None declared, Sofia Pimenta: None declared, Patrícia Pinto: None declared, Maria Joao Salvador: None declared, José Antonio P. da Silva Grant/research support from: Pfizer, Abbvie, Consultant of: Pfizer, AbbVie, Roche, Lilly, Novartis

Abstract
Background:Systemic Sclerosis (SS) is a heterogenous disease with a broad range of organ involvement. Calcinosis is a common problem and although it may affect almost any body tissue, it is typically seen in the limbs.1Its presence relates with higher risk of digital ulcers and infection.2It is still unknown whether patients with calcinosis also have other clinical features that differentiate them from the remaining.Objectives:To determine the prevalence of calcinosis in a SS cohort and to evaluate if its presence relates with specific clinical features.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted evaluating a cohort of SS patients. Plain radiographs were taken to assess calcinosis at elbows, hands, knees and feet. Clinical data was obtained and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26®.Results:We included 25 patients, 21 females [n= 21 (84%)], median (min, max) age was 58 (27, 75) years-old. Regarding disease classification, 16 (64%) had limited SS, 4 (16%) had diffuse SS, 3 (12%) had overlap syndrome and 2 (8%) had early SS. Ten (40%) patients had radiological calcinosis in at least one site, seven of which (70%) were subclinical. The most affected areas were knees and hands [n=6 (24%)]. Table 1 summarizes the clinical characteristics of patients with and without calcinosis. Limited SS was significantly more prevalent in the calcinosis group [n=9 (90%) vs. n=7 (46.7%), p=0.04]. All patients had Raynaud phenomenon [n=10 (100%) vs. 15 (100%)]. Current or past digital ulcers [n=5 (50%) vs. n=6 (40%), p=0.697], telangiectasias [n=9 (90%) vs. n=11 (73.3%), p=0.615], pulmonary hypertension [n=2 (20%) vs. n=1 (6.7%), p=0.550] and esophageal involvement [n=6 (60%) vs. n=6 (40%), p=0.428] were more frequent in the calcinosis group but with no statistical significance. Although late capillaroscopic pattern was more frequent in the calcinosis group, there was no statistical significance difference [n=4 (40%) vs. n=1 (6.7%), p=0.121]. Seropositivity for centromere-B antibodies was more frequent in the calcinosis group but with no statistical significance [n=7 (70%) vs. n=8 (53.3%), p=0.678].Table 1.Demographic and clinical data of patients with and without calcinosis.Demographic and clinical dataCalcinosis (n=10)No calcinosis (n=15)p-valueFemale gender, n (%)9 (90)12 (80)0.626Age (years), median [min,max]68.5 [27, 75]52 [36, 73]0.129Cutaneous classificationLimited, n (%)9 (90)7 (46.7)0.04Diffuse, n (%)1 (10)3 (20)0.626Early, n (%)0 (0)2 (13.3)0.500Overlap, n (%)0 (0)3 (20)0.250Clinical manifestationsCurrent or previous digital ulcers, n (%)5 (50)6 (40)0.697Interstitial lung disease, n (%)2 (20)4 (26.7)1.000Pulmonary hypertension, n (%)2 (20)1 (6.7)0.550Arthritis, n (%)2 (20)3 (20)1.000Calcinosis, n (%)3 (30)0 (0)0.052Esophageal involvement, n (%)6 (60)6 (40)0.428NFC patternsNon specific abnormalities, n (%)1 (10)3 (20)0.626Early scleroderma, n (%)1 (10)1 (6.7)1.000Active scleroderma, n (%)3 (30)10 (58.8)0.111Late scleroderma, n (%)4 (40)1 (6.7)0.121AutoantibodiesCentromere B, n (%)7 (70)8 (53.3)0.678Scl-70, n (%)1 (10)4 (26.7)0.615Conclusion:The prevalence of calcinosis was similar to that reported in literature (18-49%). This study confirmed the association, already found in previous studies, between calcinosis and the limited form of SS and raises attention for the importance of calcinosis radiographic screening since there was a high prevalence of subclinical calcinosis.1Although there were some clinical differences between patients with and without calcinosis, given the small cohort, statistical significance was not obtained. Larger studies are needed to increase statistical power.References:[1]Valenzuela A et al. Calcinosis in scleroderma. Curr Opin Rheumatol. 2018 Nov;30(6):554-561.[2]Bartoli F et al.

Abstract
MS is a heterogeneous entity that varies in its etiology, classification, clinical course and sequelae, and is included as part of the chronic diseases that cause limitations in many areas. This study aims to assess neuropsychological functions, anxiety and depression in patients with MS, and realize that these variables can be influenced by family functioning.This study consists of a group of 25 individuals were women with diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (ages 25 to 58 years). Data collection was done through: a demographic questionnaire and clinical, a neuropsychological assessment battery (LNNB), a range of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and a questionnaire of family functioning (FACES-III). The results suggest that the group of patients evaluated present neuropsychological deficits in several areas, as well as depression and anxiety. They also suggest that there is a higher prevalence of neuropsychological deficits associated with a higher incidence of depressive symptoms and family dissatisfaction. Taken together, these results reveal an involvement of emotional and family functioning on neuropsychological functioning. As such, these factors should be considered in the implementation of intervention programs, both in terms of individual psychotherapy, or the level of family psychotherapy as well as in neuropsychological and psychosocial rehabilitation programs and these patients.

Abstract
Synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, in conjunction with atomic absorption and Raman spectroscopy, was used to analyze a set of top brand tattoo inks to investigate the presence of toxic elements and hazardous substances. The Cr, Cu, and Pb contents were found to be above the maximum allowed levels established by the Council of Europe through the resolution ResAP(2008)1 on requirements and criteria for the safety of tattoos and permanent makeup. Raman analysis has revealed the presence of a set of prohibited substances mentioned in ResAP(2008)1, among which are the pigments Blue 15, Green 7, and Violet 23. Other pigments that were identified in white, black, red, and yellow inks are the Pigment White 6, Carbon Black, Pigment Red 8, and a diazo yellow, respectively. The present results show the importance of regulating tattoo ink composition.

Abstract
Soils and different vegetable species in Costa de Caparica (Portugal) are subject to the intensive use of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides. Thus, the concentrations of As, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn were evaluated. Lettuce, spinach, and potatoes collected in station 9 cause reason for concern due to their high Pb concentrations close to 20 μg g-1 which is probably related to an intensive use of copper and iron sulphate fertilizers. Additionally, the consumption of Portulaca oleracea collected in stations 3 and 4 must be avoided due to the high concentrations of Zn, and even Cu. The derived estimated daily intake (EDI) dose of Zn will be a risk to human consumption if P. oleracea was the single basis of a soup, although the addition of other ingredients might lower the tolerable upper intake (TUI) value of 39 mg/day of P. oleracea, to admissible levels, i.e., not exceeding 25 mg/day. Pumpkin collected in station 1 contained 44.1 μg g-1 Cu and a TUI value of 9.8 mg/day, when the recommendation must not exceed 5.0 mg/day. In this context, it is strongly advised to not include this vegetable in household menus.

Abstract
The Neves-Corvo mining complex (MC) situated in southern Portugal exploits one of the most world's important copper deposits. Agricultural soils surrounding the MC, used by the inhabitants for crop production, contain excessive amounts of As, Cu, Pb, and Zn. Thus, a potential risk to human consumption exists if edible plants grow on these substrata. Arsenic and Pb were not detected in edible samples collected near the MC and 5 km away, but in the leaves-structural or adsorbed onto the surface. In general, Zn was the most mobile element in both contaminated and reference areas as seen by the bioaccumulation factors (BAF). The tolerable upper intake (TUI) values for Cu are a reason of concern, since in 57.1% of the cases, the TUI values are above the recommended upper limit of 5 mg/day, in the case of Ficus carica, Cucurbita pepo, and Phaseolus vulgaris, whereas in 28.6% of the cases, the TUI values are near this limit (C. pepo and Citrus x sinensis). The consumption of such vegetables from these areas must be banned or strongly reduced, since long-term accumulation of Cu can cause a chronic toxicity in humans.

Abstract
Intestinal microbiota analysis of obese patients after bariatric surgery showed that Proteobacteria decreased after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG), while it increased after laparoscopic gastric bypass (LGB). Comparing to normal weight (NW) patients, obese patients that were selected for SG showed an almost equal amount of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes and the ratio was not affected by the surgery. Obese patients before LGB showed a predominance of Bacteroidetes, whose amount regained a relative abundance similar to NW patients after surgery. Obese patients before LGB showed the predominance of Bacteroides, which decreased after surgery in favour of Prevotella, a bacterium associated with a healthy diet. The bacteria detected at the highest percentages belonged to biofilm forming species. In conclusion, in this study, we found that the characterization of the gut microbial communities and the modality of mucosal colonisation have a central role as markers for the clinical management of obesity and promote the maintenance of good health and the weight loss.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Dysgeusia is a frequent side effect in breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy. The effect of dysgeusia on changes in diet and patient weight has been poorly investigated. We evaluated prospectively dysgeusia in a consecutive series of early breast cancer patients (EBCP) with the aim to explore its impact on food selection and weight changes.
Patients and methods: From May 2014 to April 2017, 130 consecutive EBCP were enrolled at the Oncology and Breast Units at Spedali Civili in Brescia. Dysgeusia was categorized as present or absent, changes in types and frequencies of food consumptions during chemotherapy were assessed by a specific questionnaire and photography atlas. Evaluations were performed at baseline, after 3 cycles, at the end of chemotherapy plan and during follow-up.
Results: all 130 pts were evaluable. Median age was 53 years (range 26-76), median weight 64 Kg (range 45-115), median BMI 23,86 Kg/m2 (range 17,01-35,49), 73 pts (56%) performed physical activity, 57 pts (44%) were abstemious, 22 pts (17%) received neoadjuvant and 108 pts (83%) adjuvant chemotherapy, 25 pts (19%) were treated with antracycline based schemes, 83 (64%) with antracycline and taxane plus or minus trastuzumab, and 22 pts (17%) other regimens. Seventy-three per cent of pts developed dysgeusia during chemotherapy (p=< 0.001), and in 19% this side effect persisted three months after chemotherapy.
Dysgeusia was associated with the length of chemotherapy treatment and taxane use. A statistically significant increase of taste alteration was reported for all metallic, sweet, bitter, salted and acid taste (p<0.001). Dysgeusia was more frequent in pts reporting meteorism and fatigue and in pts without oral mucositis (p=0.002). Dysgeusia correlated with a lower intake of bread, cheese, fat salami, butter and wine and a high intake of biscuits and cakes. However, no correlation was observed with weight and BMI changes.
Conclusion: Dysgeusia was frequent in EBCP undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy. It directly correlated with fatigue and meteorism and inversely correlated with mucositis. This adverse event had no impact on weight and BMI but significantly influenced food intake with a preference of glucose containing instead of fat containing foods.

Abstract
Climate changes, mostly related to high temperature, are predicted to have major negative impacts on coffee crop yield and bean quality. Recent studies revealed that elevated air [CO2] mitigates the impact of heat on leaf physiology. However, the extent of the interaction between elevated air [CO2] and heat on coffee bean quality was never addressed. In this study, the single and combined impacts of enhanced [CO2] and temperature in beans of Coffea arabica cv. Icatu were evaluated. Plants were grown at 380 or 700 μL CO2 L-1 air, and then submitted to a gradual temperature rise from 25°C up to 40°C during ca. 4 months. Fruits were harvested at 25°C, and in the ranges of 30-35 or 36-40°C, and bean physical and chemical attributes with potential implications on quality were then examined. These included: color, phenolic content, soluble solids, chlorogenic, caffeic and p-coumaric acids, caffeine, trigonelline, lipids, and minerals. Most of these parameters were mainly affected by temperature (although without a strong negative impact on bean quality), and only marginally, if at all, by elevated [CO2]. However, the [CO2] vs. temperature interaction strongly attenuated some of the negative impacts promoted by heat (e.g., total chlorogenic acids), thus maintaining the bean characteristics closer to those obtained under adequate temperature conditions (e.g., soluble solids, caffeic and p-coumaric acids, trigonelline, chroma, Hue angle, and color index), and increasing desirable features (acidity). Fatty acid and mineral pools remained quite stable, with only few modifications due to elevated air [CO2] (e.g., phosphorous) and/or heat. In conclusion, exposure to high temperature in the last stages of fruit maturation did not strongly depreciate bean quality, under the conditions of unrestricted water supply and moderate irradiance. Furthermore, the superimposition of elevated air [CO2] contributed to preserve bean quality by modifying and mitigating the heat impact on physical and chemical traits of coffee beans, which is clearly relevant in a context of predicted climate change and global warming scenarios.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in osteoporosis (OP)case definition, treatment options, optimal therapy duration and pharmacoeconomic evidence in the national context motivated the Portuguese Society of Rheumatology (SPR) to update the Portuguese recommendations for the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis published in 2007. METHODS SPR bone diseases' working group organized meetings involving 55 participants (rheumatologists, rheumatology fellows and one OP specialist nurse) to debate and develop the document. First, the working group selected 11 pertinent clinical questions for the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis in standard clinical practice. Then, each question was investigated through literature review and draft recommendations were built through consensus. When insufficient evidence was available, recommendations were based on experts' opinion and on good clinical practice. At two national meetings, the recommendations were discussed and updated. A draft of the recommendations full text was submitted to critical review among the working group and suggestions were incorporated. A final version was circulated among all Portuguese rheumatologists before publication and the level of agreement was anonymously assessed using an online survey. RESULTS The 2018 SPR recommendations provide comprehensive guidance on osteoporosis prevention, diagnosis, fracture risk assessment, pharmacological treatment initiation, therapy options and duration of treatment, based on the best available evidence. They attained desirable agreement among Portuguese rheumatologists. As more evidence becomes available, periodic revisions will be performed. Target audience and patient population: The target audience for these guidelines includes all clinicians. The target patient population includes adult Portuguese people. Intended use: These recommendations provide general guidance for typical cases. They may not be appropriate in all situations - clinicians are encouraged to consider this information together with updated evidence and their best clinical judgment in individual cases.

Abstract
Despite decades of research, no compelling non-surgical therapies have been developed for foetal hydrocephalus. So far, most efforts have pointed to repairing disturbances in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow and to avoid further brain damage. There are no reports trying to prevent or diminish abnormalities in brain development which are inseparably associated with hydrocephalus. A key problem in the treatment of hydrocephalus is the blood–brain barrier that restricts the access to the brain for therapeutic compounds or systemically grafted cells. Recent investigations have started to open an avenue for the development of a cell therapy for foetal-onset hydrocephalus. Potential cells to be used for brain grafting include: (1) pluripotential neural stem cells; (2) mesenchymal stem cells; (3) genetically-engineered stem cells; (4) choroid plexus cells and (5) subcommissural organ cells. Expected outcomes are a proper microenvironment for the embryonic neurogenic niche and, consequent normal brain development.

Abstract
Orchidaceae is a widely distributed plant family with very diverse vegetative and floral morphology, and such variability is also reflected in their karyotypes. However, since only a low proportion of Orchidaceae has been analysed for chromosome data, greater diversity may await to be unveiled. Here we analyse both genome size (GS) and karyotype in two subtribes recently included in the broadened Maxillariinea to detect how much chromosome and GS variation there is in these groups and to evaluate which genome rearrangements are involved in the species evolution. To do so, the GS (14 species), the karyotype - based on chromosome number, heterochromatic banding and 5S and 45S rDNA localisation (18 species) - was characterised and analysed along with published data using phylogenetic approaches. The GS presented a high phylogenetic correlation and it was related to morphological groups in Bifrenaria (larger plants - higher GS). The two largest GS found among genera were caused by different mechanisms: polyploidy in Bifrenaria tyrianthina and accumulation of repetitive DNA in Scuticaria hadwenii. The chromosome number variability was caused mainly through descending dysploidy, and x=20 was estimated as the base chromosome number. Combining GS and karyotype data with molecular phylogeny, our data provide a more complete scenario of the karyotype evolution in Maxillariinae orchids, allowing us to suggest, besides dysploidy, that inversions and transposable elements as two mechanisms involved in the karyotype evolution. Such karyotype modifications could be associated with niche changes that occurred during species evolution.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lung cancer staging has recently evolved to include endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for nodal assessment. AIM Evaluate the performance and safety of EBUS-TBNA as a key component of a staging algorithm for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and as a single investigation technique for diagnosis and staging of NSCLC. METHODS Patients undergoing EBUS-TBNA for NSCLC staging at our institution between April 1, 2010 and December 31, 2014 were consecutively included with prospective data collection. EBUS-TBNA was performed under general anesthesia through a rigid scope. RESULTS A total of 122 patients, 84.4% males, mean age 64.2 years. Histological type: 78 (63.9%) adenocarcinoma, 33 (27.0%) squamous cell carcinoma, 11 (8.9%) undifferentiated/other NSCLC. A total of 435 lymph node stations were punctured. Median number of nodes per patient was 4. EBUS-TBNA nodal staging: 63 (51.6%) N0; 8 (6.5%) N1; 34 (27.9%) N2, and 17 (13.9%) N3. EBUS-TBNA was the primary diagnostic procedure in 27 (22.1%) patients. EBUS-TBNA NSCLC staging had a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy rate of 83.3, 100, 100, 86.1, and 91.8%, respectively. No complications were attributable to the procedure. CONCLUSION A comprehensive lung cancer staging strategy that includes EBUS-TBNA seems to be safe and effective. Our EBUS-TBNA performance and safety in this particular setting was in line with previously published reports. Additionally, our study showed that, in selected patients, lung cancer diagnosis and staging are achievable with a single endoscopic technique.
