Anti-Candida activity of a chitosan hydrogel: mechanism of action and cytotoxic...
Oliveira, Ana Palmeira de; Ribeiro, MP.; Oliveira, Rita Manuela Palmeira de; Gaspar, Carlos; Oliveira, Sofia Costa de; Correia, I.J.; Vaz, Cidália PinaCandida spp. are common causative agents of mucocutaneous infections. New therapeutic antifungal drugs are needed to treat chronic disease as these are frequently clinically resistant to azols. Chitosan, among other possible vehicles for active compounds, shows an added value as it appears to have intrinsic antimicrobial properties. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-Candida activity of a med...
Nitrogen balance assessment in burn patients.
Beça, Andreia; Egipto, Paula; Carvalho, Davide; Correia, Flora; Oliveira, Bruno; Rodrigues, Acácio; Amarante, José; Medina, J LuísThe burn injury probably represents the largest stimulus for muscle protein catabolism. This state is characterized by an accelerated catabolism of the lean or skeletal mass that results in a clinical negative balance of nitrogen and muscle wasting. The determination of an appropriate value for protein intake is essential, since it is positively related to the nitrogen balance (NB) and accordingly several autho...
