Tese de doutoramento em Farmácia (Toxicologia) apresentada à Fac. de Farmácia da Univ. de Coimbra; A Daphnia magna tem sido largamente utilizada como organismo teste em estudos de toxicidade aguda e crónica de diversos compostos químicos presentes em ecossistemas aquáticos. Avaliou-se a toxicidade aguda e crónica do solvente dimetil sulfóxido (DMSO) no organismo invertebrado Daphnia magna e na bactéria luminesc...
Introdução: A promoção da autonomia, através do recurso a intervenções de enfermagem que promovem a capacidade física, cognitiva e de integração social, são competências acrescidas dos enfermeiros especialistas em enfermagem de reabilitação, pelo que importa perceber se nas suas práticas estes profissionais, investem nesta promoção. Objetivos: Identificar e comparar a perceção dos enfermeiros especialistas em e...
Biosensors are a fast-growing field, as they have been shown to be very helpful in our daily life, playing roles in industries such as agriculture, food safety, homeland security, bioprocessing, environmental monitoring, and industrial monitoring. Beyond these, the application of biosensing in medicine and biomedical engineering may have the highest potential for growth and for affecting human quality of life i...
Current diagnostics present challenges that are imposed by increased life expectancy in the worldwide population. These challenges are related, not only to satisfy the need for higher performance of diagnostic tests, but also to the capacity of creating pointâ ofâ care, wearable, multiplexing and implantable diagnostic platforms that will allow early detection, continuous monitoring and treatment of health cond...
Currently, there is an increasing need to develop highly sensitive plasmonic sensors able to provide good biocompatibility, flexibility, and optical stability to detect low levels of analytes in biological media. In this study, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were dispersed into chitosan membranes by spin coating. It has been demonstrated that these membranes are particularly stable and can be successfully employed...
This work reports on the development of a label-free immunosensor technology, based on nanoplasmonic Au-TiO2 thin films. The Au-TiO2 thin films were prepared by cost-effective reactive DC magnetron sputtering, followed by a thermal annealing procedure. The latter promoted the growth of the Au nanoparticles throughout the TiO2 matrix and induced some morphological changes, which are the base for the immunosensor...
