Asthma hospitalizations: A call for a national strategy to fight health inequities

The use of remote care during the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: a perspect...

This study aimed to characterise how the follow-up of outpatients was done during the first months of COVID-19 pandemic by a multidisciplinary group of physicians involved in an asthma mHealth project. A cross-sectional study based on a web survey was conducted. The survey was sent to 123 physicians working at secondary care centres of Portugal and Spain, that participate in the INSPIRERS project. A total of 65...

Allergen sensitization associates with worse lung function parameters

To assess the association between the number of allergen sensitizations and lung function variables in individuals with airway symptoms. Methods. Retrospective study with all individuals who performed lung function and skin-prick tests at CUF-Porto (01/2011-06/2016). Six allergen groups were considered. % predicted Pre-Bronchodilator test (BD) and % change after BD were analysed for spirometry and plethysmograp...

Development of novel magnetoliposomes containing nickel ferrite nanoparticles c...

Multifunctional nanosystems combining magnetic and plasmonic properties are a promising approach for cancer therapy, allowing magnetic guidance and a local temperature increase. This capability can provide a triggered drug release and synergistic cytotoxic effect in cancer cells. In this work, nickel ferrite/gold nanoparticles were developed, including nickel ferrite magnetic nanoparticles decorated with plasmo...

Unit cell volume reduction of Gd5(Si,Ge)4 nanoparticles controlled by bulk comp...

The production of Gd5(Si,Ge)4 compounds in reduced dimensionality, through pulsed laser deposition (PLD), have shown their potential for practical applications. Here, we present nanoparticles ranging from 10 to 27 nm of average particle size of Gd5(SixGe1-x)4, with x = 0, 0.45 and 0.60, obtained using an Nd:Yag (1064 nm) and an Excimer KrF laser (248 nm). Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction measurements revealed a re...

Magnetic/plasmonic liposomes as nanocarriers for novel antitumor tricyclic lact...

In this work, MnFe2O4/Au core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) and MnFe2O4 NPs decorated with Au NPs were synthesized and the structural, spectroscopic and magnetic properties evaluated. The prepared NPs were covered with a lipid bilayer, forming solid magnetoliposomes (SMLs). The heating capabilities of the nanosystems were assessed through the fluorescence quenching of Nile Red (incorporated in the lipid bilayer of ...

Effect of neurosensorial stimulation in gait pattern after acute stroke

Benefits of condylar distraction in patients with temporomandibular dysfunction

Associação entre o número de sensibilizações a aeroalergénios e parâmetros de f...

O número de sensibilizações a aeroalergénios é importante na classificação fenotípica de indivíduos com patologia das vias aéreas, estando um maior número associado a maior gravidade da patologia (Amaral R et al, Allergy 2019). No entanto, a sua associação com a função respiratória não está ainda estudada.
