A prática da pleurodese com substâncias biológicas de características adesivas, tem sido utilizada correntemente em adultos com Fistula Broncopleural (FBP), no entanto, as referências relativas ao seu uso na idade pediátrica são muito escassas.Os autores apresentam um caso de encerramento, com sucesso, de FBP mediante pleurodese com cola de fibrina num recémnascido internado por pneumonia e pneumotórax, submeti...
The nutritional status of sheep grazing in the Montado ecosystem varies considerably throughout the year, due to variations in the availability and quality of pastures, strongly influenced by the typical climatic conditions of the Mediterranean region: dry summer and autumn with very little rain. These variations lead to severely restricted feeding for approximately half the year, causing under-nutrition, limit...
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are two major public health problems that have motivated the scientific community to investigate the high contribution of genetic factors to these disorders. The peroxisome proliferator activated by gamma 2 (PPARy2) plays an important role in the lipid metabolism. Since PPARy2 is expressed mainly in adipose tissue, a moderate reduction of its activity influences the se...
A doença de McArdle apresenta-se tipicamente por mialgias, intolerância aos esforços, cãibras e mioglobinúria na infância ou jovens adultos. A deficiência hereditária da enzima miofosforílase incapacita a degradação de glicogénio, com consequente acumulação no tecido muscular e défice energético. A rabdomiólise pode ocorrer e complicar-se de lesão renal aguda mas raramente, em cerca de 11% dos casos, é manifest...
In living organisms, there are phenomena that require the presence of specific biomolecules with distinct function and in variable concentra- tions at a given time, such as the healing and regeneration of tissue and organ lesions. In this work, we propose the use of a compartment- ed drug delivery device for the multiple release of bioactive agents. It consists of nanostructured microcapsules confined within a ...
Microbial degradation of fluorinated pharmaceuticalsduring wastewater treatment processes remains inadequate in most situations. Due to incomplete elimination, these residues are continually being introduced into the aquatic environments in which they settle throughout time since many of them are resistant to degradation. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics due to its persistence and implication on resistant-bacteria ...
In this study, an attempt was made in order to measure and evaluate the eco-efficiency performance of a pultruded composite processing company. For this purpose the recommendations of World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WCSD) and the directives of ISO 14301 standard were followed and applied. The main general indicators of eco-efficiency, as well as the specific indicators, were defined and dete...
