1. The hydrophobicity and roughness of a nasoenteral tube surface influences the adhesion of a multi-drug resistant strain of Staphylococcus Aureus
In this study, we examined the physiochemical properties of nasoenteral feeding tubes made from two different types of polymer: silicone materials and polyurethane. The internal surfaces of the nasoenteral feeding tubes were analyzed for their hydrophobicity, roughness, microtopography, rupture-tension and ability to stretch. We also studied the adhesion of

2. Modificação de dispositivo para gastrostomia endoscópica percutânea pela técnica de punção: utilização em pacientes com neoplasia maligna de cabeça e pescoço / A modified device for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy by the introducer technique: use in head and neck cancer patients
Head and neck cancer is the fifth most frequent neoplasm in developing countries. Dysphagia resulting from head and neck cancer or its treatment may lead to weight loss and malnutrition. Enteral nutrition is the method of choice of therapy to patients with preserved gastrointestinal tract unable to maintain adequate oral ingestion. Nasogastric or nasoenteral

3. Occurrence of Staphylococcus sp. in the hospital environment, surface characterization and Staphylococcus aureus adhesion to polyurethane and silicone nasoenteral tubes / Ocorrência de Staphylococcus sp. em ambiente hospitalar, caracterização de superfícies e adesão de Staphylococcus aureus em sondas nasoenterais de poliuretano e silicone
Espécies de Staphylococcus foram isoladas e identificadas de dietas enterais, do ar do ambiente de Centro de Terapia Intensiva (CTI) e da sala de preparo de nutrição enteral, de manipuladores da sonda e da dieta, de superfícies de preparo, da mucosa nasal de pacientes e de sondas nasoenterais de poliuretanos e silicone após uso em ambientes de um hospit
