Polypharmacy in the elderly: therapy adherence

The elderly population has been growing significantly, leading to an increased prevalence of chronic diseases and consequent taking medication. Polypharmacy is the chronic and simultaneous use of different drugs by the same individual, and the elderly are the more susceptible. The complex therapies of elderly can lead to therapy non-adherence, increasing several health risks. This study aimed to estimate the p...

Effects of emotional valence and three-dimensionality of visual stimuli on brai...

BACKGROUND: Examining changes in brain activation linked with emotion-inducing stimuli is essential to the study of emotions. Due to the ecological potential of techniques such as virtual reality (VR), inspection of whether brain activation in response to emotional stimuli can be modulated by the three-dimensional (3D) properties of the images is important. OBJECTIVE: The current study sought to test whether th...

Development of image analysis methodologies to quantify intracellular PHA, poly...

In wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) processes are performed by mixed cultures containing polyphosphate (PAO) and glycogen accumulating organisms (GAO). In these processes, it is of crucial importance to monitor the intracellular metabolism, namely glycogen, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and polyphosphate (polyP) inclusions, to determine its efficiency. However, tra...

Monitorization of alveolar deposited surface area of nanoparticles and ultrafin...

Nanotechnology is an important emerging industry with a projected annual market of around one trillion dollars by 2015. It involves the control of atoms and molecules to create new materials with a variety of useful functions. Although there are advantages on the utilization of these nano-scale materials, questions related with its impact over the environment and human health must be addressed too, so that pote...

Urinary ATP may be a dynamic biomarker of detrusor overactivity in women with o...

Background Nowadays, there is a considerable bulk of evidence showing that ATP has a prominent role in the regulation of human urinary bladder function and in the pathophysiology of detrusor overactivity. ATP mediates nonadrenergic-noncholinergic detrusor contractions in overactive bladders. In vitro studies have demonstrated that uroepithelial cells and cholinergic nerves from overactive human bladder samples...
