• Abstract

  The use of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on both inflammatory process and pain has been suggested as an alternative to the conventional therapy, since it is not invasive, producing minimal side effects. Recently, it was demonstrated the ability of LLLT in inhibit the expression of both COX-2 and mPGES-1 mRNA both in subplantar and brain tissues from rats submitted to model of edema forma…

• Abstract

  Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal able to produces both superficial and systemic infections in immunocompromised patients. It has been shown that, comparing to the planktonic form, the C. albicans biofilms have different resistance to antifungal drugs and that infections related to biofilm formation are often refractory to conventional therapies. Therefore, the development of mo…

  Effect of photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) on Candida albicans and analyses of both biofilm viability and interaction with macrophages, BP.PD

• Abstract

  Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal able to produces both superficial and systemic infections in immunocompromised patients. It has been demonstrated that biofilms produced by C. albicans are resistant to different antifungal drugs and, that, the infections related to biofilm formation are, frequently, refractory to conventional treatment. Therefore, the development of more effect…
