Evaluating the potential of natural polymers for water-dispersible curcumin-bas...
de Rezende, SC; Ferreira, O; Santamaria-Echart, A; Madalena M. Dias; Barreiro, MFSolid dispersion (SD) technology, a strategy through which a hydrophobic compound is molecularly dispersed into a hydrophilic carrier, is raising interest in food applications to surpass natural colourants' low water solubility. Motivated by the importance of using natural solutions, five natural polymers (k-carrageenan (KC), maltodextrin (MD), Arabic gum (AG), potato starch (PS), and pectin (PC) were evaluated...
Acute complications of diabetes mellitus.
Luzio, J L; Matos, F; Ferreira, B; Pato, A V; Silva, F; Athayde, C; Coucelo, J; Sá, A; Ferreira, OA retrospective study was made of 83 diabetic patients admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine between January 1986 and December 1993, with acute intercurrence of the disease. The authors considered some clinical features (age, type and frequency of complication, form of presentation, causal aetiology, laboratory findings and therapeutic options). Statistical relationships between different populations ...
Malignant histiocytosis.
João Neto, M; Coucelo, J; Teixeira, A; Ferreira, O; Miraldo, MThe authors report a case of malignant histiocytosis, with sub acute evolution and fatal outcome in a 36 year old male, presenting with fever, hemoptysis, splenomegaly, parietal mass, anemia and bilateral pulmonary nodules. Despite one transbronchial pulmonary biopsy non diagnostic, both myelogram and histology of parietal tumor aroused the suspicion of malignant histiocytosis, later confirmed through a broncho...
