Introdução: Os maus tratos a crianças correspondem a qualquer acção ou omissão não acidental, que ameace a sua segurança, dignidade e correcto desenvolvimento biopsicossocial. Pretendeu-se avaliar o seu impacto no internamento de Pediatria. Metodologia: Estudo retrospectivo dos doentes internados no Serviço de Pediatria de um hospital terciário entre 1/10/10 e 30/09/11, sinalizados ao Núcleo Hospitalar de Apoio...
Introdução: A Doença de Coats caracteriza-se pelo desenvolvimento anormal dos vasos retinianos (telangiectasia), com deposição progressiva de exsudados intra e subretinianos e consequente descolamento de retina exsudativo. É uma patologia rara, esporádica, idiopática e unilateral (95%), que afecta maioritariamente indivíduos do sexo masculino (75%). A idade média de diagnóstico é aos 10 anos de idade. Na maior...
Introdução: A infecção por vírus influenza A H1N1 constituiu a primeira pandemia deste século. Para reduzir a propagação, foram enfatizadas medidas de protecção individual e atendimento e internamento em áreas específicas, com isolamento de gotícula. Objectivos: Avaliar a importância da área de isolamento para casos de suspeita de infecção por H1N1 num Serviço de Pediatria. Caracterização da infecção nos doente...
Comunicação em poster no simposio M - More than Moore: Novel materials approaches for functionalized Silicon based Microelectronics ; Si and Ge nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in a dielectric matrix, such as SiO2, have attracted great interest for many relevant technological applications. There are many studies about Ge NCs embedded in single layer of SiO2 [1]. However, there are only a few published results about...
In this article, we present an investigation of (Ge + SiO2)/SiO2 multilayers deposited by magnetron sputtering and subsequently annealed at different temperatures. The structural properties were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, grazing incidence small angles X-ray scattering, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. We show a formation of self-assem...
Comunicação oral ; Semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) are of great interest for multiple applications in the fields of photonics, optoelectronics, photovoltaics and biomedicine [1]. The ability to manage properly the size distribution and density in the fabrication process is of crucial relevance. In the literature, it can be found a large number of strategies for NPs production, including physical vapour depos...
Apresentação em poster ; Semiconductor nanometer-sized particles (nanoparticles, NPs) have been widely investigated due to their unique size dependent properties. The interest in Ge NPs is recently increasing because of their interesting physical properties such as large carrier mobility, large Bohr exciton radius and near-direct band gap that are suitable for the development of advanced optoelectronic devices...
Depending on the final application envisaged for a given biomaterial, many surfaces must be modified before use. The material performance in a biological environment is mainly mediated by its surface properties that can be improved using suitable modification methods. The aim of this work was to coat poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) surfaces with biosurfactants (BSs) and to evaluate how these compounds affect the...
Poly(dimethyl siloxane) elastomer, (PDMS) is widely used as a biomaterial. However, PDMS is very hydrophobic and easily colonized by several bacteria and yeasts. Consequently, surface modification has been used to improve its wettability and reduce bacterial adhesion. The aim of this work was to modify the PDMS surface in order to improve its hydrophilicity and bacterial cell repulsion to be used as a biomater...
