Determinants of the Use of Health and Fitness Mobile Apps by Patients With Asth...
Neves, Ana Luisa; Jácome, Cristina; Taveira-Gomes, Tiago; Pereira, Ana Margarida; Almeida, Rute; Amaral, Rita; Alves-Correia, Magna; Mendes, SandraBackground: Health and fitness apps have potential benefits to improve self-management and disease control among patients with asthma. However, inconsistent use rates have been reported across studies, regions, and health systems. A better understanding of the characteristics of users and nonusers is critical to design solutions that are effectively integrated in patients’ daily lives, and to ensure that these ...
Síndrome alfa-gal: Dois casos clínicos
Fernandes, Mara; Sousa, Filipa; Câmara, RitaIntrodução: Os casos descritos de alergia a carnes vermelhas têm vindo a aumentar e estão relacionados com a sensibilização à galactose -α -1,3 -galactose (alfa -gal). Casos clínicos: Os autores descrevem dois casos de alergia a carnes vermelhas por sensibilização a alfa -gal. Caso A: Sexo masculino, 47 anos, antecedentes de atopia, com vários episódios de urticária generalizada e angioedema do lábio entre 30 m...

Feasibility and acceptability of an asthma app to monitor medication adherence:...
Jácome, Cristina; Almeida, Rute; Pereira, Ana Margarida; Amaral, Rita; Mendes, Sandra; Alves-Correia, Magna; Vidal, Carmen; Freire, Sara LópezPoor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma, and objective assessment of inhaler adherence is needed. The InspirerMundi app aims to monitor adherence while providing a positive experience through gamification and social support. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the InspirerMundi app to monitor medication adherence in adolescents and adults with persistent asthma (tr...
The dysfunctional immune system in common variable immunodeficiency increases t...
Gullo, Irene; Costa, Catarina; Silva, Susana L.; Ferreira, Cristina; Motta, Adriana; Silva, Sara P.; Duarte Ferreira, Ruben; Rosmaninho, PedroGastric carcinoma (GC) represents the most common cause of death in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). However, a limited number of cases have been characterised so far. In this study, we analysed the clinical features, bacterial/viral infections, detailed morphology and immune microenvironment of nine CVID patients with GC. The study of the immune microenvironment included automated digital...
Exploring the potential of a MEPS/UHPLC-based methodology on the Exploring the ...
Berenguer, Pedro; Camacho, Irene C; Câmara, José S.; Câmara, Rita; Oliveira, SusanaAsthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic inflammation and long term irreversible remodeling of the airways. The enzymatic peroxidation of the arachidonic acid is part of the pathophysiology of this disease and leads to the formation of powerful inflammatory mediators, characteristic of asthma. The present work aimed to develop an easy-to-use ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-ba...
Determination of potential childhood asthma biomarkers using a powerful methodo...
Berenguer, Pedro; Camacho, Irene C.; Câmara, Rita; Oliveira, Susana; Câmara, José S.Leukotrienes and prostaglandins are arachidonic acid bioactive derived eicosanoids and key mediators of bronchial inflammation and response modulation in the airways contributing to the pathophysiology of asthma. An easy-to-use ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-based strategy was developed to characterize biomarkers of lipid peroxidation: leukotrienes E (LTE4) and B4 (LTB4) and 11β-prostaglandin...

Patient-physician discordance in assessment of adherence to inhaled controller ...
Jácome, Cristina; Pereira, Ana Margarida; Almeida, Rute; Ferreira-Magalhaes, Manuel; Couto, Mariana; Araujo, Luís; Pereira, MarianaWe aimed to compare patient's and physician's ratings of inhaled medication adherence and to identify predictors of patient-physician discordance.
