Curcumin is a highly promising substance for treating burns, owing to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties. However, its therapeutic use is restricted due to its hydrophobic nature and low bioavailability. This study was conducted to address these limitations; it developed and tested two types of lipid nanocarriers, namely nanoemulsions (NE-CUR) and nanostructured lipi...
Background and Objectives: Helicobacter pylori is linked to gastroduodenal pathologies. To determine the frequency and potential risk factors of the H. pylori infection. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, including 227 patients, submitted to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. A questionnaire was applied to the patients, before endoscopy. The biopsy specimens were obtained from the antru...

Background and objectives: Despite its use as a genotyping method for different microorganisms, few studies have reported the use of Multiple-Locus Variable Number of Tandem Repeats Analysis (MLVA) for the analysis of the clonal diversity of Helicobacter pylori. The aim of this study was to determine the genetic variability of H. pylori strains by MLVA in southern Brazil. Methods: 95 H. pylori DNA samples were ...
