Emotional, inflammatory, and genetic factors of resilience and vulnerability to...
Almeida, SS; Oliveira, MA; Medeiros, R; Guerra, MP; Pariante, CM; Fernandes, LBackground: Psychosocial stress and depressive disorder have been associated with cancer as putative contributors to worse prognosis. On the other hand, cancer diagnosis is a recognised life event that can contribute to distress and depressive states. Humoral and cellular inflammation can promote depressive disorder by means of decreased monoamine synthesis, glutamate neurotoxicity, neurogenesis and neuroplasti...

Frailty in Portuguese Older Patients From Convalescence Units: A Cross-Sectiona...
Pinto, M; Martins, S; Mesquita, E; Fernandes, LBackground: Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome, associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, studies about frailty in continuous care units are scarce. In this way, this study aimed to assess frailty in older patients admitted in convalescence units (CUs) and analyze its association with demographic, social and clinical characteristics. Methods: This cross-sectional study included older patients...
COVID-19 in a Pediatric Cohort—Retrospective Review of Chest Computer Tomograph...
Pina Prata, R; Forjaco, A; Ruano, C; Lopes Dias, J; Fernandes, L; Ferreira, A; Alves, P; Cabrita Carneiro, R; Nunes, A; Soares, EBackground: Radiological features of the novel 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been mainly described in adults. Available literature states that imaging findings in children are similar but less pronounced. The aim of this study is to describe and illustrate the chest computer tomography (CT) features of pediatric COVID-19. Results: This retrospective study was based on the review of all the chest CTs ...
Multi-biomarker responses of Asian clam Corbicula fluminea (bivalvia, corbiculi...
Parra, S; Varandas, S; Santos, D; Félix, LM; Fernandes, L; Cabecinha, E; Gago, J; Monteiro, SMOne of the most widespread aquatic organisms in the rivers and estuarine ecosystems, in the world, is Asian clam Corbicula fluminea. This clam, that can adapt to environmental changes, is an invasive species in several areas and it was adopted as a model for toxicity tests. This study evaluated the effects of the exposure to cadmium (Cd), to microplastics (MPs) and their mixtures on C. fluminea. The oxidative s...
Ischemic stroke in patients previously anticoagulated for non-valvular atrial f...
Fernandes, L; Sargento-Freitas, J; Milner, J; Silva, A; Novo, A; Gonçalves, T; Marinho, AV; Mariano Pego, G; Cunha, L; António, NOral anticoagulants have proved to be highly effective in preventing atrial fibrillation (AF)-related strokes. The occurrence of stroke despite oral anticoagulation is unexpected and little is known about the mechanisms responsible. The aim of this study was to assess possible mechanisms for stroke occurrence, such as poor treatment adherence and inappropriate dosage, in patients chronically anticoagulated for AF.
The Portuguese Severe Asthma Registry: Development, Features, and Data Sharing ...
Sá-Sousa, A; Fonseca, JA; Pereira, AM; Ferreira, A; Arrobas, A; Mendes, A; Drummond, M; Videira, W; Costa, T; Farinha, P; Soares, J; Rocha, PThe Portuguese Severe Asthma Registry (Registo de Asma Grave Portugal, RAG) was developed by an open collaborative network of asthma specialists. RAG collects data from adults and pediatric severe asthma patients that despite treatment optimization and adequate management of comorbidities require step 4/5 treatment according to GINA recommendations. In this paper, we describe the development and implementation ...

Age effects on EEG correlates of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test
Dias, NS; Ferreira, D; Reis, J; Jacinto, LR; Fernandes, L; Pinho, F; Festa, J; Pereira, M; Afonso, N; Santos, NC; Cerqueira, JJ; Sousa, NBody and brain undergo several changes with aging. One of the domains in which these changes are more remarkable relates with cognitive performance. In the present work, electroencephalogram (EEG) markers (power spectral density and spectral coherence) of age-related cognitive decline were sought whilst the subjects performed the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Considering the expected age-related cognitive...
