Nurse Managers as Promoters of Health Literacy Supported by Information Systems
Santos, Nuno; Matias, Sílvia; Pereira, António; Pinto, Carolina; Oliveira, Rafael; Domingues, Sandra; Santos, Ana Cláudia; Pestana, HelenaIntroduction Health literacy, a multidimensional concept essential to equity and the sustainability of healthcare systems, empowers individuals to make informed decisions and use services effectively, overcoming sociocultural and economic barriers. Nurse managers play a strategic role in its promotion by combining leadership with standardized nursing information systems. This article offers a reflective analysi...
Physicochemical Properties of Fe-Bearing Phases from Commercial Colombian Coal Ash
Santos, Ana Cláudia; Cruz, Cláudia; Font, Eric; French, David; Guedes, Alexandra; Moreira, Karen; Sant'Ovaia, Helena; Vieira, Bruno J. C.High amounts of coal combustion products, such as fly ash and bottom ash, are generated every year; however, only 64% are used, which means that a significant part is landfilled despite containing valuable materials such as ferrospheres, which may be used as catalysts, substituting critical raw materials (e.g., platinoids). In commercial coals, pyrite contents are reduced as a pre-combustion S-emissions control...
Optimally biosynthesized, PEGylated gold nanoparticles functionalized with quer...
Sadalage, Priyadarshani S; Patil, Reshma V; Havaldar, Darshana V; Gavade, Shruti S; Santos, Ana Cláudia; Pawar, Kiran DThe development of nano delivery systems is rapidly emerging area of nanotechnology applications where nanomaterials (NMs) are employed to deliver therapeutic agents to specific site in a controlled manner. To accomplish this, green synthesis of NMs is widely explored as an eco-friendly method for the development of smart drug delivery system. In the recent times, use of green synthesized NMs, especially metall...
Naringenin Nano-Delivery Systems and Their Therapeutic Applications
Bhia, Mohammed; Motallebi, Mahzad; Abadi, Banafshe; Zarepour, Atefeh; Silva, Miguel Pereira da; Saremnejad, Farinaz; Santos, Ana Cláudia; Zarrabi, AliNaringenin (NRG) is a polyphenolic phytochemical belonging to the class of flavanones and is widely distributed in citrus fruits and some other fruits such as bergamot, tomatoes, cocoa, and cherries. NRG presents several interesting pharmacological properties, such as anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the therapeutic potential of NRG is hampered due to its hydrophobic nature,...
Adult Native Joint Septic Arthritis: A Nine-Year Retrospective Analysis in a Po...
Cipriano, Ana; Santos, Fábio Videira; Dias, Rita; Carvalho, André; Reis, Ernestina; Pereira, Claudia; Santos, Ana Cláudia; Sousa, RicardoIntroduction: Septic arthritis of a native joint represents a medical emergency. Drainage and effective antibiotic treatment are critical to avoid joint destruction and long-term impairment. The aim of this study was to evaluate epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with the diagnosis of septic arthritis to help establish local guidelines for empirical antibiotic treatment.Material and Method...

Topical Minoxidil-Loaded Nanotechnology Strategies for Alopecia
Santos, Ana Cláudia; Silva, Miguel Pereira da; Guerra, Catarina; Costa, Diana; Peixoto, Diana; Pereira, Irina; Pita, Inês R.; Ribeiro, António J.Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a multifactorial and age-related condition characterized by substantial hair loss a ecting both men and women. Conventional treatments include the use of topical minoxidil (MNX) formulations to stimulate hair growth and restore hair condition. However, those treatments are associated with limited performance and a lack of tolerability and compliance due to the emergence of adverse...
Complex Polysaccharide-Based Nanocomposites for Oral Insulin Delivery
Collado-González, Mar; Ferreri, M. Cristina; Freitas, Alessandra; Santos, Ana Cláudia; Ferreira, Nuno Ricardo Esteves; Carissimi, GuzmánPolyelectrolyte nanocomposites rarely reach a stable state and aggregation often occurs. Here, we report the synthesis of nanocomposites for the oral delivery of insulin composed of alginate, dextran sulfate, poly-(ethylene glycol) 4000, poloxamer 188, chitosan, and bovine serum albumin. The nanocomposites were obtained by Ca2+-induced gelation of alginate followed by an electrostatic-interaction process among ...

The influence of eventscape on emotions, satisfaction and loyalty: The case of ...
Carneiro, Maria João; Eusébio, Celeste; Caldeira, Ana Maria; Santos, Ana CláudiaThe popularity of re-enactment events has increased worldwide. A conceptual model is proposed, positing that the eventscape of re-enactment events has a positive effect on satisfaction and loyalty by generating emotions, and that different emotions – pleasure and arousal – have a mediating role on the influence of eventscape on satisfaction. The model is tested using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Mo...
