Influence of the estimated glomerular filtration rate equation on carboplatin d...
Fortunato, AR; Barbosa, C; Araujo, A; Fernandez Llimos, FBackground Carboplatin is a renally excreted antineoplastic drug associated with myelotoxic effects. Doses are calculated according to the Calvert formula. The change from Cockcroft-Gault (CG) to the race-free Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) may have an impact on doses. The aim of the study was to evaluate the difference in carboplatin doses based on estimated glomerular filtration r...
Atlantic connectivity of a major green sea turtle Chelonia mydas foraging aggre...
Patrício, Ana Rita; Coveney, SA; Barbanti, A; Barbosa, C; Broderick, AC; El’Bar, N; Godley, BJ; Hancock, JM; Regalla, A; Senhoury, C; Sidina, EUnderstanding population connectivity is paramount for effective conservation. While genetic tools have elucidated sea turtle migration patterns, notable data gaps limit our understanding of ocean-wide connectivity, especially regarding east Atlantic green turtles. We characterized the genetic composition of a globally important green turtle foraging aggregation at the Banc d’Arguin, Mauritania, incorporating d...

Spatial distribution of inter-nesting green turtles from the largest Eastern At...
Raposo, C; Mestre, J; Rebelo, Rui; Regalla, A; Davies, A; Barbosa, C; Patrício, ARUnderstanding the spatial distribution of wildlife is fundamental to establish effective conservation measures. Tracking has been key to assess movement patterns and connectivity of sea turtles, yet some regions of great significance are largely understudied. We tracked 44 green turtles from the largest rookery in the Eastern Atlantic, on Poilão Island, Guinea-Bissau, during 2018 through 2020, to assess their i...
Parental child-feeding practices at 4 years of age are associated with dietary ...
Barbosa, C; Lopes, C; Costa, A; Warkentin, S; Oliveira, ABackgroundParental child-feeding practices have been associated with child body mass index (BMI) and specific food group consumption; however, their role in the development of dietary patterns is less understood. We aim to study the association between parental child-feeding practices at 4 years old and dietary patterns at 7 years that explain BMI z-scores at age 10. MethodsParticipants were children from the G...
Association of early feeding practices with dietary patterns of 7-year-olds fro...
Barbosa, C; Costa, A; Hetherington, MM; Oliveira, AEarly feeding practices have been related to child's body mass index (BMI), however, their role in establishing dietary patterns is less well understood. The aim of this study was to examine the association of parent-reported early feeding practices (breastfeeding duration, type of foods and timing of complementary feeding) and dietary patterns identified at age 7 to explain BMI z-scores at 10 years of age. Par...
Outcomes of Non-Pharmacological Nursing Interventions’ on Patients with Chronic...
Barbosa, C; Gonçalves, D; Pão-Alvo, I; Tobio, MA; Gonelha, T; Ramos, A; Fonseca, CConsidering the high number of people who experience chronic pain, with need of differentiated care, it is relevant to identify non-pharmacological nursing interventions in pain control and health gains. The objective of this paper is to identify nursing intervention and outcomes of non-pharmacological measures in chronic pain. The results of the analysis of literature allow us to synthesize some efficient inte...
Balanced primary sex ratios and resilience to climate change in a major sea tur...
Patrício, AR; Marques, A; Barbosa, C; Broderick, AC; Godley, BJ; Hawkes, LA; Sampaio e rebelo, Rui; Regalla, A; Catry, PGlobal climate change is expected to have major impacts on biodiversity. Sea turtles have temperature-dependent sex determination, and many populations produce highly female-biased offspring sex ratios, a skew likely to increase further with global warming. We estimated the primary sex ratio at one of the world’s largest green turtle Chelonia mydas rookeries in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa, and explored its resil...
Oxidative stress in asthmatic and non-asthmatic adolescent swimmers - a breatho...
Couto, M; Barbosa, C; Silva, D; Rudnitskaya, A; Delgado, L; Moreira, A; Rocha, SMWe hypothesize that oxidative stress induced by trichloramine exposure during swimming could be related to etiopathogenesis of asthma among elite swimmers. Aim: To investigate the effect of a swimming training session on oxidative stress markers of asthmatic compared to non‐asthmatic elite swimmers using exhaled breath (EB) metabolomics. Methods: Elite swimmers annually screened in our department (n=27) were in...
