  • Advanced nanotherapeutic strategies transforming diabetic wound healing
    Publication . Ramos, Filipa; Kumar, Girish; Virmani, Tarun; Sharma, Abhishek; Duarte, Sofia O. D.; Fonte, Pedro
    Due to their high recurrence rates and slow healing, diabetic wounds are becoming a greater public health concern [Citation1]. Each year, 1.6 million cases of diabetic wounds occur in the United States alone, affecting approximately 18.6 million people worldwide [Citation2]. Because of poor cellular regeneration, increased inflammation, and reduced angiogenesis, traditional treatments like debridement, antibiotics, and dressings usually do not work [Citation3]. To overcome the limitations of traditional treatments, there is now a significant demand for advanced therapeutic modalities that promise accurate, efficient, and rapid healing processes [Citation4]. These include microneedles (MNs), exosomes, tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs), three-dimensional scaffolds, gene therapy, oxygen-releasing biomaterials, phototherapies, and nanozymes.

  • LINA: an augmented reality social game enhancing sense of belonging among classmates: an uncontrolled pre-post evaluation study
    Publication . Krammer, Ina; Mittmann, Gloria; Nater, Urs M.; Barnard, Adam; Martins, Diogo; Dias, João; Schrank, Beate; Woodcock, Kate A.
    Supportive peer relationships are fundamental in the development of well-being. Since early adolescents spend a lot of time at school, especially in their classroom, a sense of belonging among classmates plays a pivotal role for mental health and academic functioning. Programs that enhance sense of belonging among classmates through improving peer relationships in classrooms are rare. Given that early adolescents increasingly use digital media to establish and maintain relationships with classmates, there is potential in digital social games that enhance social connectivity and collaboration, especially during the difficult transition from primary to secondary school. LINA ('Lina Is Not Alone') is a novel social augmented reality game for classrooms that is designed to enhance sense of belonging among classmates through improving their relationships with classmates. We conducted an uncontrolled pre-post evaluation study to evaluate (a) player experience, (b) translation of the theory-led LINA design into user experience and (c) increases in sense of belonging after engagement with LINA. In total, data from 99 participants (Mage = 10.94; range = 10-12; 51 girls, 48 boys) were included in this study. Our results provided evidence for (a) high satisfaction and acceptability of LINA, (b) a successful translation of theory-led design features into user experiences, and (c) increases in sense of belonging. We discuss practical implications and future development of LINA.

  • Perspectives of people living with Type 2 diabetes about physical activity promotion: can community pharmacies be part of the solution?
    Publication . Viegas, Ruben; Moura, Izabela; Cavaco, Afonso; Ramos, Filipa Duarte; Mendes, Romeu; Costa, Filipa Alves da
    Rationale: People living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) benefit from regular physical activity (PA) to reduce cardiovascular risk and better manage comorbidities. Pharmacists can provide support to increase physical activity by leveraging the regular interactions on their daily community pharmacy practice. Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to explore the perspectives of people living T2D about their engagement in PA using pharmacies as the subject of interest to collect this information. Methods: This study followed a focus group technique using a semi‐structured guide. People living with T2D were recruited in community pharmacies resorting to typical case sampling. Five in person focus group interviews with 23 patients living with T2D were conducted by the research team. Interviews were recorded following consent, transcribed verbatim, coded independently by two researchers and analysed using the socio‐ecologic model. Results: A total of 23 people living with T2D were interviewed. Aspects determining PA engagement ranged from individual aspects such as physical limitations; interpersonal aspects such as having a reference pharmacist; organisational aspects such as activities done through the pharmacy; community aspects such as the cost of exercise activities and policy aspects such as information registry. Conclusions: This study suggests that community pharmacies are currently not considered by people living with diabetes as a source for behaviour change linked to PA but explores possible ways on how this could become a reality in the future.
