Clinical, laboratory, and functional characteristics of asthma-COPD overlap in ...
Queiroz,Ana Paula Adriano; Fonseca,Fernanda Rodrigues; Rê,Alexânia de; Maurici,RosemeriABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the frequency of asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) in patients with COPD and to compare, from a clinical, laboratory, and functional point of view, patients with and without ACO, according to different diagnostic criteria. Methods: The participants underwent evaluation by a pulmonologist, together with spirometry and blood tests. All of the patients were instructed to record their PEF tw...
Brazilian version of the Clinical COPD Questionnaire, administered by interview...
Rê,Alexânia de; Fonseca,Fernanda Rodrigues; Queiroz,Ana Paula; Reis,Cardine Martins dos; Bahl,Marina Mônica; Kocks,Janwillem; Molen,Thys van derABSTRACT Objective: To test the reliability, validity, and interpretability of the Brazilian version of the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) in patients with COPD. Methods: Fifty patients with COPD completed the CCQ by interview on two occasions. At the first visit, the CCQ was administered twice, by two different raters, approximately 10 min apart; the patients also underwent spirometry and were administered ...

Fonseca,Fernanda Rodrigues; Biscaro,Roberta Rodolfo Mazzali; de Rê,Alexânia; Junkes-Cunha,Maíra; Reis,Cardine Martins dos; Bahl,Marina MônicaABSTRACT Objective: To test the construct validity, reliability, and measurement error of the Brazilian Portuguese-language version of the Manchester Respiratory Activities of Daily Living (MRADL) questionnaire in patients with COPD. Methods: We evaluated 50 patients with COPD, among whom 30 were men, the mean age was 64 ± 8 years, and the median FEV1 as a percentage of the predicted value (FEV1%predicted) was ...
Leishmaniose visceral e sua relação com fatores climáticos e ambientais no Esta...
Reis,Lisiane Lappe dos; Balieiro,Antônio Alcirley da Silva; Fonseca,Fernanda Rodrigues; Gonçalves,Maria Jacirema FerreiraResumo: A leishmaniose visceral (LV) pode ser influenciada por fatores climáticos e ambientais. Tocantins é o estado com mais incidência no Brasil, contribuindo para o aumento dos casos na macrorregião Norte. Este estudo tem objetivo de identificar a correlação entre a taxa de incidência de LV e fatores climáticos e ambientais, nos municípios do Estado do Tocantins de 2007 a 2014. As correlações entre a taxa de...
Validation of a bioelectrical impedance analysis system for body composition as...
Fonseca,Fernanda Rodrigues; Karloh,Manuela; Araujo,Cintia Laura Pereira de; Reis,Cardine Martins dos; Mayer,Anamaria FleigABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the validity of an eight-contact electrode bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) system within a household scale for assessing whole body composition in COPD patients. Methods: Seventeen patients with COPD (mean age = 67 ± 8 years; mean FEV1 = 38.6 ± 16.1% of predicted; and mean body mass index = 24.7 ± 5.4 kg/m2) underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and an eight...
Functional capacity measurement: reference equations for the Glittre Activities...
Reis,Cardine Martins dos; Karloh,Manuela; Fonseca,Fernanda Rodrigues; Biscaro,Roberta Rodolfo Mazzali; Mazo,Giovana Zarpellon; Mayer,Anamaria FleigABSTRACT Objective: To develop reference equations for the Glittre Activities of Daily Living test (Glittre ADL-test) on the basis of anthropometric and demographic variables in apparently healthy individuals. A secondary objective was to determine the reliability of the equations in a sample of COPD patients. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including 190 apparently healthy individuals (95 males; medi...
Changes in the epidemiology of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil from 2001 to 2014
Reis,Lisiane Lappe dos; Balieiro,Antônio Alcirley da Silva; Fonseca,Fernanda Rodrigues; Gonçalves,Maria Jacirema FerreiraAbstract INTRODUCTION Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a neglected disease, with territorial expansion and regional differences in Brazil that require explanation. This study aimed to describe changes in the epidemiology of VL in Brazil from 2001 to 2014. METHODS The incidence rates, sociodemographic and clinical data, and case evolution were subgrouped from 2001 to 2006 and from 2007 to 2014 and presented descri...
