Usutu virus in the Iberian peninsula: A systematic review
Loureiro, Filipa; Mesquita, João R.; Cardoso. Luis; Matos, Ana C.; Matos, Ana; Matos, Manuela; Coelho, Ana CláudiaStudies on Usutu virus (USUV) in Europe have been increasing through time, with USUV infection being identified in humans and animals. The emergence of USUV in Europe draws our attention to how an arbovirus is able to spread, adapt, and evolve in a unconventional environment. Understanding the epidemiological and evolutionary processes that contribute to the appearance, maintenance, and further spread of viral ...
Insights on the properties of levofloxacin-adsorbed Sr- and Mg-doped calcium ph...
Marques, Catarina F.; Matos, Ana C.; Ribeiro, Isabel A. C.; Goncalves, Lidia M.; Bettencourt, Ana; Ferreira, Jose M. F.Several types of biodegradable materials have been investigated for the treatment of osteomyelitis. Calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics are among the most performing materials due to their resemblance to human hard tissues in terms of mineralogical composition, and proven ability to adsorb and deliver a number of drugs. This research work was intended to study the suitability of modified CaP powders loaded with a ...
Nuclear medicine technologist education and training in Europe: literature and ...
Matos, Ana C.; Massa, Raquel C.; Lucena, Filipa; Vaz, TâniaPurpose - The education and training of a nuclear medicine technologist (NMT) is not homogeneous among European countries, which leads to different scope of practices and, therefore, different technical skills are assigned. The goal of this research was to characterize the education and training of NMT in Europe. Materials and methods - This study was based on a literature research to characterize the education...
Novel doped calcium phosphate-PMMA bone cement composites as levofloxacin deliv...
Matos, Ana C.; Marques, Catarina F.; Pinto, Rosana V.; Ribeiro, Isabel A. C.; Goncalves, Ldia M.; Vaz, Mario A.; Ferreira, J. M. F.; Almeida, Antonio J.Antibiotic-loaded acrylic bone cements (ALABCs) are well-established and cost-effective materials to control the occurrence of bone and joint infections. However, the inexistence of alternative antibiotics other than those already commercially available and the poor ability to bind to bone tissue hampering its biological function are still major drawbacks of ALABCs clinical application. The concept of this rese...
