Distribution and quantitation of skin iron in primary haemochromatosis: correla...

Measurement of the concentration of iron in the skin, if correlated with total body iron stores, may enable better informed decisions on when to initiate, change or stop therapy in hereditary heamochromatosis. Naïve haemochromatosis patients with iron overload and with C282Y and/or H63D HFE mutations were evaluated at the following time-points: disease diagnosis, end of the therapy programme, and 6 months afte...

Estimulação multissensorial e motora na comunicação da demência

Introdução: A demência trata-se de um problema mundial de saúde pública, com níveis elevados de institucionalização. A estimulação multissensorial (EMS) e a estimulação motora (EM) são possíveis de ser implementadas em contexto institucional e domiciliário, e têm demonstrado resultados promissores na promoção da comunicação das pessoas com demência (Baker et al., 2003; Cruz et al., 2011b; J. Van Weert, Van Dulm...

Biomarkers of exposure to metal dust in exhaled breath condensate: methodology ...

In occupational assessments where workers are exposed to metal dust, the liquid condensate of exhaled breath (EBC) may provide unique indication of pulmonary exposure. The main goal of this study was to demonstrate the quality of EBC to biological monitoring of human exposure. A pilot study was performed in a group of metal dust–exposed workers and a group of nonexposed individuals working in offices. Only meta...

Exhaled breath condensate as a biomonitor for metal exposure: a new analytical ...

The study of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) obtained by cooling exhaled air under conditions of spontaneous breathing is considered one of the areas with higher interest in respiratory health research. The use of EBC for elemental determination in occupational exposure requires a standard methodological procedure to implement its practice in occupational studies. EBC is an inhomogeneous sample with organic and...

Nuclear microscopy as a tool in TiO2 nanoparticles bioaccumulation studies in a...

Engineered Titanium nanoparticles are used for a wide range of applications from coatings, sunscreen cosmetic additives to solar cells or water treatment agents. Inevitably environmental exposure can be expected and data on the ecotoxicological evaluation of nanoparticles are still scarce.The potential effects of nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2) on two model organisms, the water flea, Daphnia magna and ...
