    Abstract Napping offers a strategy to manage sleep, aid recovery and enhance performance in elite sport. However, relatively little research attention has focussed on the natural history of athlete napping or tested the widely held assumption that athlete napping is mainly a consequence of degraded night-time sleep.

  3. Article: Exposure to suicide in the family and suicidal ideation in Portugal during the Covid-19 pandemic: The mediating role of unbearable psychache.

    Abstract Objectives: This study tested the mediation effects of two facets of psychache - bearable and unbearable - in the relationship between exposure to suicide in the family and suicidal ideation in Portugal during the Covid-19 pandemic.
    Methods: Two hundred and forty-four adults aged between 19 and 64 participated. Two groups were defined: one exposed to suicide in the family (n = 42) and a control group (n = 192).
    Results: Path analysis using structural equation modelling tested a mediation model. Results demonstrated that unbearable psychache fully mediated the relationship between exposure to suicide and suicidal ideation, even when controlling for the mediation effects of depressive symptoms, the presence of a psychiatric diagnosis, and years of education.
    Conclusions: These results suggest that rather than considering just the global experience of psychache in individuals exposed to suicide, researchers and clinicians should look to the presence of unbearable psychache given its contribution to suicidal ideation.
    Practitioner points: Unbearable psychache fully mediated the relationship between exposure to suicide in the family and suicidal ideation It is not the global experience of psychache that contributes to suicide ideation in individuals exposed to suicide in the family rather the presence of unbearable psychache.

    Abstract Zieve's syndrome is an underdiagnosed condition characterized by the triad of jaundice, hemolytic anemia, and hyperlipidemia in the setting of chronic alcohol use. It may be accompanied by acute alcoholic hepatitis. The distinction between the coexistence of acute alcoholic hepatitis with Zieve's syndrome and Zieve's syndrome in isolation is crucial, given the different treatments and prognoses in these situations. A 35-year-old woman presented with complaints of abdominal discomfort, nausea, and vomiting in the previous week. She was a heavy drinker with resultant cirrhosis, splenomegaly, and esophageal varices. An ancillary test showed hemolytic anemia, moderately elevated transaminases, hyperbilirubinemia, and coagulopathy. A negative direct Coombs test established the anemia as non-immune, supporting the diagnosis of Zieve's syndrome despite the absence of hyperlipidemia. Maddrey's discriminant function score was 92 points, so she was treated with supportive measures, as well as corticosteroids in the setting of acute alcoholic hepatitis. The patient showed a favorable clinical and analytical evolution and was discharged home one month following admission with her hemoglobin levels stabilized. Previous literature focused on the distinction between Zieve's syndrome and acute alcoholic hepatitis but they may coexist.

    Abstract This study reports the synthesis and characterization of a supramolecular composite comprised of carbon dots (CDots) embedded within net-poly[(α-cyclodextrin)-ν-(citric acid)] (α-CD/CA/CDots) for the removal and detection of toluene and xylene from aqueous media. The remarkable stability of CDots within the composite enables the preservation of photoluminescence properties for prolonged storage and extended UV-light irradiation. As demonstrated, following the adsorption of both organic compounds, the composite detected them in the aqueous medium due to a fluorescence quenching mechanism. Spectroscopic analyses reveal that the accessible Stern-Volmer quenching constants for toluene and xylene are K

    Abstract The high background of host RNA poses a major challenge to metatranscriptome analysis of human samples. Hence, metatranscriptomics has been mainly applied to microbe-rich samples, while its application in human tissues with low ratio of microbial to host cells has yet to be explored. Since there is no computational workflow specifically designed for the taxonomic and functional analysis of this type of samples, we propose an effective metatranscriptomics strategy to accurately characterize the microbiome in human tissues with a low ratio of microbial to host content. We experimentally generated synthetic samples with well-characterized bacterial and host cell compositions, and mimicking human samples with high and low microbial loads. These synthetic samples were used for optimizing and establishing the workflow in a controlled setting. Our results show that the integration of the taxonomic analysis of optimized Kraken 2/Bracken with the functional analysis of HUMAnN 3 in samples with low microbial content, enables the accurate identification of a large number of microbial species with a low false-positive rate, while improving the detection of microbial functions. The effectiveness of our metatranscriptomics workflow was demonstrated in synthetic samples, simulated datasets, and most importantly, human gastric tissue specimens, thus providing a proof of concept for its applicability on mucosal tissues of the gastrointestinal tract. The use of an accurate and reliable metatranscriptomics approach for human tissues with low microbial content will expand our understanding of the functional activity of the mucosal microbiome, uncovering critical interactions between the microbiome and the host in health and disease.

    Abstract The pre-conceived idea that contracts in a public-private partnership (PPP) regime, in healthcare or in any other economic sector, are, as a rule, ruinous and appealing for only a share of the stakeholders, lacks a solid basis that confirms it. This idea, outset and nurtured by the media, has been instigating the distrust of the users who, in turn, demand a more rigorous and efficient utilisation of public resources. Being Portugal in the top of countries that resort to PPPs, it is urgent to inquire if its respective contracts originated an inefficient and ineffective management of resources. It is precisely this discussion that we address in this paper, focusing our efforts in the Portuguese healthcare sector.

    Abstract Polyglutamine disorders are a complex group of incurable neurodegenerative disorders caused by an abnormal expansion in the trinucleotide cytosine-adenine-guanine tract of the affected gene. To better understand these disorders, our dependence on animal models persists, primarily relying on transgenic models. In an effort to complement and deepen our knowledge, researchers have also developed animal models of polyglutamine disorders employing viral vectors. Viral vectors have been extensively used to deliver genes to the brain, not only for therapeutic purposes but also for the development of animal models, given their remarkable flexibility. In a time- and cost-effective manner, it is possible to use different transgenes, at varying doses, in diverse targeted tissues, at different ages, and in different species, to recreate polyglutamine pathology. This paper aims to showcase the utility of viral vectors in disease modelling, share essential considerations for developing animal models with viral vectors, and provide a comprehensive review of existing viral-based animal models for polyglutamine disorders.
