Can cardiac computed tomography predict cardiovascular events in asymptomatic t...

BACKGROUND: Doubts remain about atherosclerotic disease and risk stratification of asymptomatic type-2 diabetic patients (T2DP). This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of calcium score (CS) and coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) to predict fatal and non fatal cardiovascular events (CVEV) in T2DP. METHODS: Eighty-five consecutive T2DP undergoing CT (Phillips Brilliance, 16-slice) with CS and...

Processing and electrical response of fully polymer piezoelectric filaments for...

This paper describes the production and characterization of novel geometries for piezoelectric products with a large potential in the design and implementation of flexible sensors produced at low cost and high rates. In particular, the filament geometry, appropriate for integration into textiles, is analyzed. Piezoelectric filaments producing electrical signals under bending or traction stress, thus acting as m...

Accounting for source depth variations in time-reversal communications

Passive Time Reversal (pTR) is a low complexity receiver scheme that uses multichannel probing for time signal refocusing, thus reducing time spreading and improving inter-symbol interference. Recognizing that signals travelling through different paths are subject to arrival-angle-related Doppler displacements, this letter proposes a further improvement to pTR that applies correcting frequency shifts optimized ...

Evaluation of human sperm chromatin status after selection using a modified Dif...

Sperm chromatin/DNA damage can be measured by a variety of assays. However, it has been reported that these tests may lose prognostic value in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) cycles when assessed in post-prepared samples, possibly due to the normalizing effect promoted by sperm preparation procedures. We have recently implemented a modified version of the Diff-Quik staining assay that allows for the eval...

Physico-mechanical properties of chitosan films with carvacrol and grape seed e...

The physico-mechanical properties of 3 films composed by carvacrol, grape seed extract (GSE) and chitosan in different proportions were studied. The films, prepared by solvent casting technique with the following compositions of the casting solutions in carvacrol, GSE and chitosan: film-1: 9.6 ppm–684 ppm–1.25% w/v, film-2: 60 ppm–400 ppm–1.2% w/v and film-3: 90 ppm–160 ppm–1.24% w/v and were compared to a cont...

Silk-based 3D biotextiles support human adipose derived stem cells towards oste...

Publicado em "Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine", vol. 7, supp. 1 (2013) ; The present work aims at evaluating the potential of recently developed 3D silk-based biotextile structures to support hASCs adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. The 3D spacer structures were processed by using a knitting technology. Two knitted silk layers were assembled and spaced by a monofila...

Pré-tratamento de resíduos agro-industriais e novas perspectivas na produção de...

Visando contribuir para a melhoria das condições ambientais pela eliminação dos resíduos agrícolas/agroindustriais, bem como proporcionar a formação de uma linha de pesquisa com propósito de captar e disseminar informações técnicas e tecnológicas agregando maior valor nestes subprodutos ou resíduos é que o presente trabalho foi realizado. Deste modo, o sabugo de milho in natura foi submetido a dois diferentes p...

Autohydrolysis pretreatment of corncob for cellulase production by Trichoderma ...

Microbial cellulase production has attracted great attention due its several applications. In this context, studies that become this practice feasible are very important. Corncob is an inexpensive byproduct, which contains more than 30% of cellulose; however, this material is not readily available to enzymatic hydrolysis and pretreatment of lignocellulosic material in autohydrolysis processes become this more e...
