Development of O/W Pickering Emulsions Stabilized with Leek Leaf Trimmings Usin...
Marques, MP; Sanchez-Salvador, JL; Monte, MC; Blanco, A; Ricardo J. Santos; Madalena M. Dias; Manrique, Y.A.; Margarida BritoVegetable trimmings can be used to stabilize edible O/W Pickering emulsions. The lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) from the leek trimmings was mechanically treated to produce high-yield lignocellulose micro and nanofibrils (LCF) using a high-pressure homogenizer (HPH). Different O/W phase ratios (20/80, 30/70, and 40/60 wt.%) were studied. The use of the micro/nano cellulosic fibers increased the stabilization of t...
Global Impact of COVID-19 on Stroke Care and IV Thrombolysis
Nogueira, RG; Qureshi, MM; Abdalkader, M; Martins, SO; Yamagami, H; Qiu, Z; Mansour, OY; Sathya, A; Czlonkowska, A; Tsivgoulis, G; Aguiar de Sousa, DObjective: To measure the global impact of COVID-19 pandemic on volumes of IV thrombolysis (IVT), IVT transfers, and stroke hospitalizations over 4 months at the height of the pandemic (March 1 to June 30, 2020) compared with 2 control 4-month periods. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational, retrospective study across 6 continents, 70 countries, and 457 stroke centers. Diagnoses were identified ...
Sterilization procedure for temperature-sensitive hydrogels loaded with silver ...
Rafael, D; Andrade, F; Martinez-Trucharte, F; Basas, J; Seras-Franzoso, J; Palau, M; Gomis, X; Pérez-Burgos, M; Blanco, A; López-Fernández, A; Vélez, RHydrogels (HG) have recognized benefits as drug delivery platforms for biomedical applications. Their high sensitivity to sterilization processes is however one of the greatest challenges regarding their clinical translation. Concerning infection diseases, prevention of post-operatory related infections is crucial to ensure appropriate patient recovery and good clinical outcomes. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) ha...
