TL;DR: Overall, 10 strains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Galega cultivar fermented olives appear to possess a probiotic value, belonging to Lactobacillus plantarum and LactOBacillus paraplantarum.

TL;DR: There was a subjective perception of reduced frequency of adverse events with ISCI, and the introduction of CSII allowed optimization of metabolic control, reduction of the daily insulin requirements and achievement of a higher level of satisfaction with no change in lipid profile, no weight gain and without increasing the frequency of adversely events.

TL;DR: Almost half of the patients in Portuguese ICUs are at high nutritional risk, and NUTRIC score was strongly associated with main clinical outcomes, including mortality from all causes at 28 days after admission.

TL;DR: Overall, groups I and III of diabetic patients had a decrease in the photoreceptor layer (PR) thickness, when compared with the nondiabetic subjects in six ETDRS areas, suggesting that some form of neurodegeneration may take place before clinical signs of vascular problems arise.

TL;DR: Patients with AD showed a significant thickness reduction in global and temporal superior quadrants in pRNFL and in superior pericentral and peripheral sectors of RT, suggesting the importance of SD-OCT as a potential adjuvant in early diagnosis of AD.
