Observational Study Protocol: Management of Anemia in Allogeneic Bone Marrow Do...

Bone marrow harvesting from healthy voluntary donors for related or unrelated allogeneic transplantation is considered a safe procedure. However, its associated hematologic impact is well recognized, including a decrease in hemoglobin levels, with a potential need for transfusion support. In accordance with the policies of several donation centers, donors provide one unit of autologous blood that is reinfused a...

Prescription Patterns in Adult ADHD: The Reality at CHUC

Introduction: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders, affecting around 2%‑4% of the adult population. The first‑line therapeutic intervention is psychostimulants such as methylphenidate and amphetamines. Second‑line therapy is used when stimulants are ineffective, intolerant, or contraindicated. Methods: Retrospective observational study of patients ...

Biopolymers Derived from Forest Biomass for the Sustainable Textile Industry

ABSTRACT: In line with environmental awareness movements and social concerns, the textile industry is prioritizing sustainability in its strategic planning, product decisions, and brand initiatives. The use of non-biodegradable materials, obtained from non-renewable sources, contributes heavily to environmental pollution throughout the textile production chain. As sustainable alternatives, considerable efforts ...

Laccase-catalyzed polymerized natural bioactives for enhanced mushroom tyrosina...

Skin hyperpigmentation disorders, such as melasma, are linked to excessive melanin production, primarily regulated by the enzyme tyrosinase (TYR). While current inhibitors like kojic acid (KA) are effective, they often cause adverse side effects, driving the search for safer andnatural alternatives. This study evaluated the TYR inhibitory potential of bioactive-rich extracts from acorn, cocoa, cork, and eucalyp...

Nurse interventions in clinical management that promote quality of care: scopin...

Introduction: Nurse interventions in clinical management can take different forms, and there is a connection between management and care provision. Despite the recognised importance of clinical management for the quality of care, there are still gaps in knowledge about the most effective and efficient interventions in this field. Objective: Map the available scientific evidence about nurse interventions in clin...

Influência da nutrição entérica no conforto da pessoa adulta doente: scoping re...

Introdução: Os benefícios da nutrição entérica na pessoa doente estão amplamente descritos, sendo a sua influência no conforto de carácter multidimensional. Para além da importância fulcral que assume na dimensão física do conforto e na recuperação da pessoa doente, a sua influência nas restantes dimensões pode ter um papel preponderante, contribuindo para atingir objetivos terapêuticos e promover a qualidade d...

Boosting textiles with plant extracts: an advanced sustainable antimicrobial in...

This study investigates the incorporation of natural plant extracts, particularly eucalyptus and hop, into knitted fabrics to develop antimicrobial textiles. The antibacterial activity of the functionalized fabrics was evaluated against two pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) and one common skin commensal (Staphylococcus epidermidis). Biocompatibility with human skin cells was asses...

Design of a Video Otoscope Prototype with an Integrated Scanner for Hearing Aid...

In the current landscape of hearing rehabilitation, ear mold manufacturing typically involves the injection of silicone into the external ear canal (EEC) of each patient. This invasive procedure poses several risks, including the potential for silicone residue retention and tympanic membrane perforation, which may necessitate surgical intervention. To mitigate these risks, we present the design of a video otosc...
