    Abstract Aims: The combination of daptomycin and ceftaroline used as salvage therapy is associated with higher survival and decreased clinical failure in complicated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections that are resistant to standard MRSA treatment. This study aimed to evaluate dosing regimens for coadministration of daptomycin and ceftaroline in special populations including paediatrics, renally impaired (RI), obese and geriatrics that generate sufficient coverage against daptomycin-resistant MRSA.
    Methods: Physiologically based pharmacokinetic models were developed from pharmacokinetic studies of healthy adults, geriatric, paediatric, obese and RI patients. The predicted profiles were used to evaluate joint probability of target attainment (PTA), as well as tissue-to-plasma ratios.
    Results: The adult dosing regimens of 6 mg/kg every (q)24h or q48h daptomycin and 300-600 mg q12h ceftaroline fosamil by RI categories achieved ≥90% joint PTA when the minimum inhibitory concentrations in the combination are at or below 1 and 4 μg/mL against MRSA. In paediatrics, wherein there is no recommended daptomycin dosing regimen for S. aureus bacteraemia, ≥90% joint PTA is achieved when the minimum inhibitory concentrations in the combination are up to 0.5 and 2 μg/mL for standard paediatric dosing regimens of 7 mg/kg q24h daptomycin and 12 mg/kg q8h ceftaroline fosamil. Model predicted tissue-to-plasma ratios of 0.3 and 0.7 in the skin and lung, respectively, for ceftaroline and 0.8 in the skin for daptomycin.
    Conclusion: Our work illustrates how physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling can inform appropriate dosing of adult and paediatric patients and thereby enable prediction of target attainment in the patients during multitherapies.

    Abstract Photodynamic therapy is one of the more unique cancer treatment options available in today's arsenal against this devastating disease. It has historically been explored in cutaneous lesions due to the possibility of focal/specific effects and minimization of adverse events. Advances in drug delivery have mostly been based on biomaterials, such as liposomal and hybrid lipoidal vesicles, nanoemulsions, microneedling, and laser-assisted photosensitizer delivery systems. This review summarizes the most promising approaches to enhancing the photosensitizers' transdermal delivery efficacy for the photodynamic treatment for cutaneous pre-cancerous lesions and skin cancers. Additionally, discussions on strategies and advantages in these approaches, as well as summarized challenges, perspectives, and translational potential for future applications, will be discussed.

    Abstract Biosensor-integrated drug delivery systems are innovative devices in the health area, enabling continuous monitoring and drug administration. The use of smart polymer, bioMEMS, and electrochemical sensors have been extensively studied for these systems, especially for chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cancer and cardiovascular diseases as well as advances in regenerative medicine. Basically, the technology involves sensors designed for the continuous analysis of biological molecules followed by drug release in response to specific signals. The advantages include high sensitivity and fast drug release. In this work, the main advances of biosensor-integrated drug delivery systems as new biomedical materials to improve the patients' quality of life with chronic diseases are discussed.

    Abstract As inquietações das reflexões que constituíram a entrevista advieram dos desafios interpostos na relação entre educação popular e serviço social, levando em conta que esta é uma das profissões da área da saúde e que a primeira tem sido relegada após o movimento de reconceituação, no anos de 1980, que marca a aproximação e, logo em seguida, um afastamento entre ambos. Nesse sentido, a partir do contato com Oscar Jara buscou-se problematizar algumas questões que são centrais para esse debate.

    Abstract Chitosan films are commonly used for wound dressing, provided that this polymer has healing, mucoadhesiveness and antimicrobial properties. These properties can be further reinforced by the combination of chitosan with polysaccharides and glycoproteins present in aloe vera, together with copaiba oleoresin's pharmacological activity attributed to sesquiterpenes. In this work, we developed chitosan films containing either aloe vera, copaiba oil or both, by casting technique, and evaluated their microbial permeation, antimicrobial activity, cytotoxicity, and in vivo healing potential in female adult rats. None of the developed chitosan films promoted microbial permeation, while the cytotoxicity in Balb/c 3 T3 clone A31 cell line revealed no toxicity of films produced with 2 % of chitosan and up to 1 % of aloe vera and copaiba oleoresin. Films obtained with either 0.5 % chitosan or 0.5 % copaiba oleoresin induced cell proliferation which anticipate their potential for closure of wound and for the healing process. The in vivo results confirmed that tested films (0.5 % copaiba-loaded chitosan film and 0.5 % aloe vera-loaded chitosan film) were superior to a commercial dressing film. For all tested groups, a fully formed epithelium was seen, while neoformation of vessels seemed to be greater in formulations-treated groups than those treated with the control. Our work confirms the added value of combining chitosan with aloe vera and copaiba oil in the healing process of wounds.

    Abstract Background: The origin of persistent pain and joint limitation after knee arthroplasty are controversial and difficult to diagnose. Knee arthroscopy is indicated when the results of routine evaluation tests are not clear. The purpose of this study was to determine through arthroscopy the cause of post-knee-arthroplasty pain symptoms in patients without a prior diagnosis of cause of pain.
    Methods: This prospective case series study described the outcomes of 34 patients (35 knees) with pain and limited function in the arthroplastic joint, who underwent diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopy. Patients were clinically evaluated using range-of-motion tests and the Lysholm, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) and Knee Society Score (KSS) scales.
    Results: The procedure found cyclops in 17 knees, synovitis in 9 knees, arthrofibrosis in 6 knees, polyethylene wear with debris in two knees, and polyethylene bouncing in one knee with unicompartmental arthroplasty with a mobile polyethylene platform. It was effective for the relief of pain symptoms, with excellent or good outcomes in 80% of cases; there was a poor outcome in 11.43%, which maintained the presentation of pain and underwent revision arthroplasty, and, in 8.57%, did not undergo another surgery despite symptom persistence.
    Conclusions: Post-arthroplasty knee arthroscopy seems beneficial in patients with pain and without a pre-established diagnosis and who had already undergone conservative treatment unsuccessfully.
