Digital Versus Conventional Rehabilitation After Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Sing...
Dias Correia, F; Nogueira, A; Magalhães, I; Guimarães, J; Moreira, M; Barradas, I; Molinos, M; Teixeira, L; Pires, J; Seabra, R; Lains, J; Bento, VBackground: The demand for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is rising. In the face of rapidly increasing health care costs, ensuring widespread, cost-effective rehabilitation is a priority. Technologies allowing independent home-based rehabilitation may be the key to facilitate access, improve effectiveness, and lower costs of care. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a novel artificia...
Home-based Rehabilitation With A Novel Digital Biofeedback System versus Conven...
Correia, FD; Nogueira, A; Magalhães, I; Guimarães, J; Moreira, M; Barradas, I; Teixeira, L; Tulha, J; Seabra, R; Lains, J; Bento, VIn-person home-based rehabilitation and telerehabilitation can be as effective as clinic-based rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but require heavy logistics and are highly dependent on human supervision. New technologies that allow independent home-based rehabilitation without constant human supervision may help solve this problem. This was a single-center, feasibility study comparing a digita...
Urinary tract infections under 24 months old: Is it possible to predict the ris...
Miranda, AM; Garcia, C; Bento, V; Pinto, SBackground: Urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial infections in the first two years of life and it can lead to irreversible renal scarring. Renal scintigraphy is the gold standard method for detection of renal scars. The aim of our work was to revise the cases of pyelonephritis, detect the possible predictors for renal scarring and compare those results we would have obtained if we had fol...
Recém-nascidos no serviço de urgência pediátrica: casuística de um ano
Garcia, C; Mascarenhas, I; Teixeira, AT; Bento, V; Alves, C; Almeida, HIntrodução: Os serviços de urgência pediátrica são ambientes particularmente deletérios para os recém-nascidos. A identifica - ção precoce da doença neste grupo é fundamental, uma vez que o atraso diagnóstico pode estar associado a consequências graves. A maioria dos sistemas de triagem utilizados nos serviços de urgência pediátrica não possui algoritmos específicos para os recém-nascidos. Este estudo teve como...
Development of a self-administered web-based test for longitudinal cognitive as...
Ruano, L; Sousa, A; Severo, M; Alves, I; Colunas, M; Barreto, R; Mateus, C; Moreira, S; Conde, E; Bento, V; Lunet, N; Pais, J; Tedim Cruz, VSequential testing with brief cognitive tools has been recommended to improve cognitive screening and monitoring, however the few available tools still depend on an external evaluator and periodic visits. We developed a self-administered computerized test intended for longitudinal cognitive testing (Brain on Track). The test can be performed from a home computer and is composed of several subtests, expected to ...
RSV infection – Risk factors, complications and treatment in two Portuguese hos...
Bento, V; Machado, R; Ferreira, M; Conde, M; Carreiro, H; Ferreira, G; Brito, MJAbstract. The aim of this study was to characterize the infection by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), identify risk factors, complications and compare treatment strategies in children admitted to two Portuguese hospitals. It was a retrospective study performed between January 2005 and December 2006. Demographic and socioeconomic data, risk factors, treatment, compli- cations and medical follow-up were analyze...
TINU syndrome: two clinical cases of tubulo-interstitial nephritis and uveitis
Bento, V; Castro, I; Batista, J; Mesquita, JTINU (Tubulo-Interstitial Nephritis and Uveitis) syndrome is a rare disease of unknown aetiology characterised by the association between interstitial nephritis and uveitis. The authors present the cases of two young children whose symptoms began with anorexia and weight loss, associated with renal failure and proteinuria of tubular origin. One child also presented anaemia, glycosuria without hyperglycaemia and...
