Health literacy can be defined as the way people understand information about health and health care and how they apply this information to their lives, how they use it to make decisions and how they act based on this understanding. This concept becomes more relevant when we refer to vulnerable groups of the population, as is the case of the chronically ill, within this population were considered people with br...
Lipid-based nanosystems, such as nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) and nanoemulsions (NE) have been described as promising alternatives to conventional formulations for increase skin hydration. Besides, these systems have been used as efficient vehicles for lipophilic molecules that improve skin properties (e.g. vitamin E). In this study, we performed comparative investigations between hydrogels formulations ...
Aim of the study - The aim is to quantify the personal equivalent dose Hp(10) of the family members (FMs) of patients submitted to iodine-131 therapy (RAIT): thyroid cancer (TC) or benign thyroid diseases (BTD) and compare Hp(10) values of children and adults.
Apresenta-se o caso clínico de um homem, 31 anos, com neuroblastoma da glândula supra-renal esquerda, estadio IV. A Medicina Nuclear foi útil na confirmação do diagnóstico, estadiamento inicial e avaliação da resposta terapêutica, através da cintigrafia com 123I-mIBG (metaiodobenzilguanidina) e da PET (Positron Emission Tomography - Tomografia por Emissão de Positrões) com 18F-FDG (18F-fluorodesoxiglicose). No ...
A 1H-NMR study of the interactionsbetween ß-cyclodextrin (ß-CD) and included phenolic molecules (chloragenic acid and caffeic acid ) in aqueous medium is reported. The results confirm that inclusion occurs. Data analysis by the continuous variation method shows that all the complexes have 1 : 1 stoichiometries. Values for the apparent association constants of the inclusion compounds are estimated and compared w...
