Going home safe: car seat challenge test in a neonatal intensive care unit

Introduction: It is recommended to use a suitable Child Restraint System (CRS) while transporting the newborn from the hospital to home. The stay of newborns in the CRS is associated with episodes of desaturation, so the hemodynamic stability of the newborn must be identified when properly seated in the CRS, especially the newborn admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The Car Seat Challenger Test...

Preserving and hydrogel-matrixing the bioactive properties of aromatic medicina...

Edible wild plants are part of the ethnobotanic heritage of a certain geographical area and are important sources of essential oils, antioxidants, minerals, and special flavours. Corema album (Portuguese crowberry), Crithmum maritimum (sea fennel), Eryngium maritimum (sea holly), Helichrysum italicum (curry plant) and Otanthus maritimus (cottonweed) wildly flourish along the sandy dunes of the coast of the Iber...

Development of a biocompatible hydrogel based on native temporomandibular joint...

The temporomandibular joint disc (TMJd) is an avascular and fibrocartilaginous tissue with low regeneration capacities. To date there is no permanent solution upon its damage. So, our group hypothesise that the combination of a synthetic material [poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate, PEGDA] and decellularised matrices may be the answer, since it has the advantage of retaining extracellular matrix (ECM) components....

Ovine model as a temporomandibular disc substitute: characterisation and the ou...

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a ginglymoarthrodial joint that comprises a fibrocartilaginous disc that is highly predisposed to suffer from trauma or degenerative events, leading to disorders in the condyle–disc complex. The use of decellularized tissues has attracted interest in the tissue engineering (TE) field as an intact extracellular matrix can be obtained [1]. To this end, the ovine model was the ...

From animal to human: (Re)using acellular extracellular matrices for temporoman...

Current treatments for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc dysfunctions are not fully effective and lack regenerative capacity. Therefore, the search for tissue-engineered materials for TMJ disc substitution is critical to fill this gap. Decellularization presents tremendous potential, as it is possible to obtain an extracellular matrix with an adequate biomechanical structure and biochemical components. However...
