Iliopsoas Grade 2 Myotendinous Junction Injury in an Elite Football Player: Ret...
Fernandes, Alexandre; Cunha, Pedro; Silva, Júlio; Duarte, Carlos; Estaca, Alexandre; Bettencourt, Mónica; Reis e Siva, Miguel; Fernandes, AlexandreGroin pain is a common injury in professional footbal and widely acknowledged as a complex medical issue. Iliopsoas pathology stands as the second‐most common cause of athletic groin injury, yet iliopsoas traumatic muscle injuries are infrequent and inadequately documented in the literature. This case report outlines a grade 2 myotendinous junction injury of the iliopsoas in a football player competing in the P...
Miliary tuberculosis – A challenging diagnosis
Pinto Silva, Catarina; de Sousa, Beatriz; Lima, Joana; Vasconcelos, Sofia; Rebelo, Alícia; Lobo, Ana Luísa; Fernandes, AlexandreTuberculosis is a challenging diagnosis with marked clinical heterogeneity that can lead to diagnostic delay and serious and potentially life-threatening problems. The most prevalent form of the disease is pulmonary tuberculosis. The present case has unique features as in that it describes a case of miliary tuberculosis in an immunocompetent adolescent vaccinated with the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine and ra...
Meta-analysis of social presence effects on stroop task performance
Garcia-Marques, Teresa; Fernandes, AlexandreIn this paper, we conducted a meta-analytic review to examine the impact of social presence on individuals’ performance on the Stroop task, shedding light on the cognitive processes underlying social facilitation. We followed PRISMA guidelines to identify and include 33 relevant studies in a multivariate random-effects meta-analysis. Our results show that social presence reliably modulates Stroop interference (...

Perceptual anchoring effects: Evidence of response bias and a change in estimat...
Garcia-Marques, Teresa; Fernandes, AlexandreIntroduction: People’s estimates of perceptual quantities are commonly biased by the contextual presence of other quantities (like numbers). In this study, we address assimilation anchoring effects (approximation of real quantities to contextual quantities) that occur for visually displayed proportions, defining a new methodological setting for the effect. Method: Similar to classic approaches, we asked partici...
How does the presence of others influence control inhibition? Contradictory evi...
Garcia-Marques, Teresa; Fernandes, AlexandreInhibitory control (IC) is defined as the (in)ability to change, suppress, or delay a response that is no longer required under the current circumstances. This ability was previously argued to increase in social contexts, based on Stroop’s performance, showing that participants performed the Stroop task better in others’ presence than alone. In this paper, we extend the testing of this same hypothesis to the us...
Deontic signs increase control monitoring: Evidence from a modified traffic fla...
Garcia-Marques, Teresa; Figueira, Pedro; Fernandes, Alexandre; Martins, JoãoDeontic norms are expected to impose individuals’ control over their behavior. In this paper, we address such norms presented in trafc signs and test their infuence over executive control functions. For Experiment 1, we develop a trafc fanker task in which the typical neutral arrows are replaced with trafc prohibition/obligation signs. Experiment 2 isolated the deontic aspect of the signs using simple arrows on...

Spreading eutrophication and changing CO2 fluxes in the tropical coastal ocean:...
Abril, Gwenaël; Cotovicz Júnior, Luiz C.; Nepomuceno, Nepomuceno; Erbas, Thais; Costa, Suzan; Ramos, Vinicius V.; Moser, Gleyci; Fernandes, AlexandreIn Brazil and in many other tropical countries, large urban cities and populations are still growing on the coast and coverage in terms of sewage treatments is far from desirable. Cultural eutrophication is not solely a threat for the coastal ocean; it is now acting as one of its major biogeochemical and ecological driver. Along the littoral of the state of Rio de Janeiro, semi-enclosed marine bays and lagoons ...
