In this study, we seek to elucidate the most recent research on nanotechnologies for oncology therapy, exposing its advantages, challenges and expectations regarding the efficiency of these methods. This is a theoretical bibliographical review article on the applications of nanomaterials in the treatment of cancer. In addition, the limitations and adverse effects of the main oncological treatments currently used were also discussed, as well as the benefit of combining these therapies with nanotechnology, through nanocarriers or nanoparticles, and the importance of searching for more satisfactory methods for cancer treatment.
Durante a pandemia da COVID-19, doença resultante da infecção pelo vírus SARS-COV2, o quadro de síndrome gripal e eventualmente a evolução para a síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo (SDRA), foram marcos característicos da doença. Além do acometimento pulmonar, foram relatados casos de envolvimento cardíaco pela doença, sendo descritos variados mecanismos de lesão cardíaca. Dentre eles, pericardiopatias foram relatadas, tendo como consequência mais comum o derrame pericárdico decorrente da infecção viral. O objetivo desse trabalho é relatar o caso de um lactente de 2 meses, portador de tetralogia de Fallot, com acometimento pulmonar e pericárdico devido quadro anterior de COVID-19, que durante anestesia para cirurgia de cerclagem de artéria pulmonar evoluiu com fibrilação ventricular.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
