Graphene oxide coatings prevent Candida albicans biofilm formation with a controlled release of curcumin-loaded nanocomposites
Aim: Fabrication of graphene oxide (GO)-based medical devices coatings that limit adhesion of Candida albicans, a main issue of healthcare-associated infections. Methods: The GO composites noncovalently functionalized with curcumin (CU), a hydrophobic molecule with active antimicrobial action, polyethylene glycol (PEG) that hinders the absorption of biomolecules or a combination of CU and PEG (GO-CU-PEG) were drop-casted on surfaces and antifungal efficacy was assessed. Results: We demonstrate that GO-CU-PEG coatings can reduce fungal adhesion, proliferation and biofilm formation.
Preventive medicine center and health care for students of medicine and health professions at the Sapienza University of Rome: a research protocol
This project aims to develop a Center of Preventive Medicine and Health Care for the students of Medicine and Health profession
at Sapienza University of Rome. At the beginning of the university career students, both residents and nonresident s, have to face
several difficulties such as: starting smoking or the increase in cigarette consumption ; the independent management of their own
health (especially for non residents consequently to the distance of the family doctor) ; unhealthy diet; tuberculosis (TB) biological
