GHTM Sessions 2021 CCID11 » Determination of the microbicidal activity of macrophages infected with spirochetes of the Borrelia burgdorferi (s.l.)

From: 22/09/2021
To: 22/09/2021
Location: ZOOM | 11h00

Lyme borreliosis (LB) is an emerging zoonotic disease with a high prevalence on several continents, namely in Europe where Portugal is no exception, due to the increasing number of registered cases.

GHTM Sessions 2021 CCID10 » TB and HIV (nano)diagnosis

From: 15/09/2021
To: 15/09/2021
Location: ZOOM | 11h00

Diagnosis of HIV infection is based on invasive methods such as blood collection. Since sputum is the main biological product for tuberculosis diagnosis, we aim to develop a non-invasive methodology for the simultaneous detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and HIV in sputum samples of individuals suspected of co-infection using superparamagnetic nanoparticles for capturing the target.

GHTM Sessions 2021 CCID09 » Point-of-care ultrasound in Schistosoma haematobium infections – a new approach to detect potentially carcinogenic lesions

From: 21/07/2021
To: 21/07/2021
Location: ZOOM | 11h00

Recently, emerged a tool that can be useful to identify and evaluate potentially carcinogenic bladder or kidney damages: point-of-care ultrasound.
The research on urinary tract lesions as infection symptoms, with the development of ultrasound evaluation protocols, might enable early treatment and prevent cancer progression among millions of people.
