Ankyloglossia, Syndactyly and Polydactyly in the Pediatric Patient
Morgado Dias, J; Baptista, A; Alegrete, N; Areias, C; Soares, HAnkyloglossia is a congenital alteration in the development of the tongue characterized by the presence of a short or thick lingual frenulum, which leads to a limitation in its movements. There is an associative inconsistency between ankyloglossia and complications with breastfeeding, speech, swallowing, breathing, and the development of orofacial structures, and it is urgent to make more scientific research in...
Vancomycin-Loaded, Nanohydroxyapatite-Based Scaffold for Osteomyelitis Treatmen...
Alegrete, N; Sousa, SR; Padrão, T; Carvalho, A; Lucas, R; Canadas, RF; Lavrador, C; Alexandre, N; Gärtner, F; Monteiro, FJ; Gutierres, MThe treatment for osteomyelitis consists of surgical debridement, filling of the dead space, soft tissue coverage, and intravenous administration of antimicrobial (AM) agents for long periods. Biomaterials for local delivery of AM agents, while providing controllable antibiotic release rates and simultaneously acting as a bone scaffold, may be a valuable alternative; thus, avoiding systemic AM side effects. V-H...
Local Antibiotic Delivery Ceramic Bone Substitutes for the Treatment of Infecte...
Alegrete, N; Sousa, SR; Peleteiro, B; Monteiro, FJ; Gutierres, MAims: the focus of this study is to evaluate if the combination of an antibiotic with a ceramic biomaterial is effective in treating osteomyelitis in an infected animal model and to define which model and protocol are best suited for in vivo experiments of local bone infection treatment. Methods: a systematic review was carried out based on PRISMA statement guidelines. A PubMed search was conducted to find orig...

How to resume elective orthopaedic surgical procedures during the COVID-19 pand...
Diogo, N; Miranda, A; Ruano, A; Mendes, E; Mendes, F; Montes, J; Alves, J; Rosa, I; Alegrete, N; Neves, N; Lourenço, P; Felicíssimo, P; Sá Cardoso, PThis document was prepared by the College of Orthopedics of the Portuguese Medical Association with the aim of developing the guidelines on the resumption of elective surgical activity in Orthopedics during the COVID-19 pandemic. It sets the criteria that allow the prioritization of surgeries according to the severity of the clinical situation, based on existing and published classifications. Moreover, it provi...
Sagittal standing posture and relationships with anthropometrics and body compo...
Araújo, FA; Simões, D; Silva, P; Alegrete, N; Lucas, RBackground Anthropometry and body composition are plausible influences on pediatric sagittal standing posture. Despite that, the relationship of anthropometrics since birth and body composition with individual postural parameters in children has never been assessed. Research question To assess the associations between anthropometrics since birth and body composition parameters, and angles of sagittal standing p...
Defining patterns of Sagittal Standing Posture in girls and boys of school age
Araújo, F; Severo, M; Alegrete, N; Howe, LD; Lucas, RBackground: Sagittal postural patterns are associated with back pain in adolescents and adults. However, whether postural patterns are already observable during childhood is unknown. Such a finding would confirm childhood as a key period for posture differentiation and thus for chronic pain etiology. Objective: The aims of this study were to identify and describe postural patterns in girls and boys of school ag...
A shared biomechanical environment for bone and posture development in children
Araújo, F; Martins, A; Alegrete, N; Howe, LD; Lucas, RBackground Context: In each specific habitual standing posture, gravitational forces determine the mechanical setting provided to skeletal structures. Bone quality and resistance to physical stress is highly determined by habitual mechanical stimulation. However, the relationship between bone properties and sagittal posture has never been studied in children. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the associa...
Associations of anthropometry since birth with sagittal posture at age 7 in a p...
Araújo, F; Lucas, R; Simpkin, AJ; Heron, J; Alegrete, N; Tilling, K; Howe, LD; Barros, HObjectives Adult sagittal posture is established during childhood and adolescence. A flattened or hypercurved spine is associated with poorer musculoskeletal health in adulthood. Although anthropometry from birth onwards is expected to be a key influence on sagittal posture design, this has never been assessed during childhood. Our aim was to estimate the association between body size throughout childhood with ...
Sagittal Standing Posture, Back Pain and Quality of Life Among Adults from the ...
Araújo, F; Lucas, R; Alegrete, N; Azevedo, A; Barros, HStudy Design. A prospective radiographical study of sagittal standing posture among adults consecutively recruited from the general population. Objective. To analyze the relation of suboptimal sagittal standing posture with back pain and health-related quality of life in general adult males and females. Summary of Background Data. Clinical studies have shown the association of sagittal standing posture with pai...
