A Sede na Pessoa em Situação Perioperatória: Perceção dos Enfermeiros

Enquadramento: A sede é uma manifestação com elevada prevalência no período perioperatório, frequentemente associada ao jejum prolongado, à restrição da ingestão de líquidos, à ansiedade e aos fármacos utilizados. Esta condição não só causa desconforto significativo, como também afeta negativamente a recuperação pós-operatória. No entanto e de acordo com a literatura, esta tem sido insuficientemente valorizada,...

In Vitro Antimicrobial Studies of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Comprising An...

The combination of active pharmaceutical ingredients in the form of ionic liquids or organic salts (API-OSILs) with mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as drug carriers can provide a useful tool in enhancing the capabilities of current antibiotics, especially against resistant strains of bacteria. In this publication, the preparation of a set of three nanomaterials based on the modification of a MSN surface ...

Direct esterification of sucrose: novel lead-compounds against cancer

Boosting antimicrobial activity of ciprofloxacin by functionalization of mesopo...

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are very promising nanomaterials for treating bacterial infections when combined with pharmaceutical drugs. Herein, we report the preparation of two nanomaterials based on the immobilization of ciprofloxacin in mesoporous silica nanoparticles,either as the counter-ion of the choline derivative cation MSN-[Ch][Cip]) or via anchoring on the surface of amino-group modified MS...

Effects of formal home care on spousal health outcomes

This study estimates the impacts of formal home care provided by paid professionals on spousal health outcomes. We use data from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe, a panel of older adults living in several European countries, and match new formal home care users to non-users to account for the endogeneity of the decision to seek formal home care. After considering underlying mechanisms, our...

New Methods for the Synthesis of Phenypropanoic Sucrose Esters

Phenylpropanoic sucrose esters are a class of naturally occurring molecules transversely found as active compounds in ancient Chinese medicinal plants. Such compounds are comprised of a sucrose molecule substituted with a phenylpropanoid ester in one or more hydroxyl groups. Outstanding antioxidant and antitumoral properties, amongst others, arise from this class of com-pounds. Despite their huge potential as l...

MOOC as a way to raise inclusion awareness in society: Portuguese case study

The inclusion of people with some kind of limitation or disability in different daily contexts has been one of the mottoes of our modern society, as a result of the changes experienced over the last decades. Education is a clear example of these contexts and institutions must support students with special educational needs (SEN). This support includes physical and digital accessibility, interaction with peers, ...

Desenvolvimento de competências transversais no Ensino Superior: a experiência ...

Para além de uma oportunidade de formação científica e profissional, a entrada no Ensino Superior é perspetivada, por muitos estudantes, também como uma oportunidade de promoção do seu desenvolvimento intelectual, pessoal e social. Nesta transição do ciclo de vida, o indivíduo é confrontado com uma série de desafios e mudanças, aos quais deverá procurar responder adequada e eficazmente, de forma a experienciar ...
