Jácome, C; Almeida, R; Pereira, AM; Amaral, R; Vieira-Marques, P; Mendes, S; Alves-Correia, M; Ferreira, JA; Lopes, I; Gomes, J; Araújo, L; Couto, MBackground: Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma and objective assessment of inhaler adherence is needed. InspirerMundi app aims to monitor inhaler adherence while turning it into a positive experience through gamification and social support. Objective: We assessed the medium-term feasibility of the InspirerMundi app to monitor inhaler adherence in real-world patients with persistent asthma ...
Profiling Persistent Asthma Phenotypes in Adolescents: A Longitudinal Diagnosti...
Amaral, R; Jácome, C; Almeida, R; Pereira, AM; Alves-Correia, M; Mendes, S; Rodrigues, JC; Carvalho, J; Araújo, L; Costa, A; Silva, A; Teixeira, MFWe aimed to identify persistent asthma phenotypes among adolescents and to evaluate longitudinally asthma-related outcomes across phenotypes. Adolescents (13-17 years) from the prospective, observational, and multicenter INSPIRERS studies, conducted in Portugal and Spain, were included (n = 162). Latent class analysis was applied to demographic, environmental, and clinical variables, collected at a baseline med...

Morphological transition of Helicobacter pylori adapted to water
Fernandes, RM; Silva, H; Ricardo Jorge Dinis Oliveira; Almeida, C; Azevedo, NF; Vieira, MJAim: This study aims to investigate the morphological transition of Helicobacter pylori during adaptation to water. Materials & methods: Different strains were adapted to water. Changes regarding cultivability and cellular morphology were recorded. Expression of 11 genes involved in H. pylori morphological changes was evaluated by real-time PCR. Results: H. pylori presented increased cultivability in water afte...
Acute viral bronchiolitis: Physician perspectives on definition and clinically ...
Fernandes, RM; Andrade, MG; Constant, C; Malveiro, D; Magalhães, M; Abreu, D; Azevedo, I; Sousa, E; Salgado, R; Bandeira, TBACKGROUND:Two key limitations hamper intervention research in bronchiolitis: the absence of a clear definition of disease, and the heterogeneous choice of outcome measures in current clinical trials. We assessed how paediatricians and general practitioners (GPs) perceived definition and clinically important outcomes in bronchiolitis. METHODS:A nationwide online survey (ABBA study) was conducted through the Por...

Assessment of anthropogenic sources of water pollution using multivariate stati...
Palma, P; Alvarenga, P; Palma, VL; Fernandes, RM; Soares, AMVM; Barbosa, IRMultivariate statistical techniques were applied to evaluate spatial/temporal variations, and to interpret water quality data set obtained at Alqueva reservoir (south of Portugal). The water quality was monitored at nine different sites, along the water line, over a period of 18 months (from January 2006 to May 2007) using 26 water quality parameters. The cluster analysis allowed the formation of five different...

Fernandes, RM; Feliciano, J; Soares, RM; Mamede, A; Ramos, R; Miranda, F; Silva, S; Timóteo, AT; Abreu, A; Cruz Ferreira, ROBJECTIVE: We set out to evaluate whether changes in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (proBNP) can predict changes in functional capacity, as determined by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) due to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). METHODS: We studied 37 patients with CHF due to DCM, 81% non-ischemic, 28 male, who performed symptom-limited treadmill CPET, w...
