Enquadramento: A campilobacteriose é considerada a principal causa de gastroenterite aguda de origem bacteriana em seres humanos, nos países desenvolvidos. Esta infeção está associada principalmente ao consumo e à contaminação cruzada de alimentos, sendo as aves o principal reservatório do agente patogénico. A utilização indiscriminada de antibióticos na produção animal e para fins veterinários, tem contribuído...
Gastroenteritis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worlwide. Aim: Determine the etiology of gastroenteritis in a cohort of children hospitalized Methods: From May 2011 to January 2012, stool samples were collected from children (4.2 ± 4.8 years). Viral agents (enteric and enterovirus) were detected by RT-PCR. Stool specimens were also tested for bacteria and parasites, by conventional methods. Results:...
Resumo publicado em: Acta Pediátrica Portuguesa 2012;43( 5 -Supl.I):s46 (PAS24) ; Introdução: A Gastroenterite Aguda (GEA) é a segunda causa de internamento na idade pediátrica. Objetivo: Caracterizar a GEA, em crianças internadas em dois hospitais da área de Lisboa. Métodos: Estudo prospectivo de Maio 2011 a Junho 2012 (14 meses). Foram pesquisados potenciais agentes etiológicos (vírus, bactérias e parasitas)...
Objectives: Viruses are the main etiologic agent of central nervous system (CNS) infections as encephalitis and aseptic meningitis. A rapid molecular diagnosis with a broad panel for CNS viral agents is recommended as a helpful tool for clarifying the aetiology of infection and to improve the therapeutic management of patients. The aim of this study is to recognize the main neurotropic viruses in CNS samples fr...
Macro/micro porous silk scaffolds with nano-sized calcium phosphate (CaP) particles were developed for bone tissue engineering. Different amounts of nano-sized CaP particles 4, 8, 16 and 25% (CaP:silk fibroin, wt/wt) were generated into the highly concentrated aqueous silk fibroin solutions via an in-situ approach. Afterwards, the pure silk and silk/nano-CaP porous scaffolds were produced by a combination of sa...
