Enablers, Barriers and Strategies to Build Resilience Among Cancer Survivors: a...
Fernandes, JB; Domingos, J; Almeida, AS; Castro, C; Simões, A; Fernandes, S; Vareta, D; Bernardes, C; Fonseca, J; Vaz, C; Dias, AR; Fernandes, TCancer is a life-threatening illness affecting all dimensions of a person's health. Cancer survivors must build resilience to face this adversity and continue their life projects. The present study explores the enablers, barriers, and strategies to build resilience among cancer survivors. This qualitative, descriptive exploratory study will use purposive sampling to recruit cancer survivors and healthcare profe...
Isolation Method and Characterization of Outer Membranes Vesicles of Helicobact...
Melo, J; Pinto, V; Fernandes, T; Malheiro, AR; Osorio, H; Figueiredo, C; Leite, MOuter membrane vesicles (OMVs) are small vesicles constitutively shed by all Gram-negative bacterium, which have been proposed to play a role in Helicobacter pylori persistence and pathogenesis. The methods currently available for the isolation of H. pylori OMVs are diverse and time-consuming, raising the need for a protocol standardization, which was the main aim of this study. Here, we showed that the chemica...
Outer retinal layers as predictors of visual acuity in retinitis pigmentosa: a ...
Sousa, K; Fernandes, T; Gentil, R; Mendonça, L; Falcão, MPURPOSE: To evaluate the integrity of the outer retinal layers-outer nuclear layer (ONL), external limiting membrane (ELM), ellipsoid (EZ), and interdigitation band (IZ)-using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and estimate their effect on visual acuity in retinitis pigmentosa (RP). METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed in the Ophthalmology Department of Hospital de Braga, Portugal. Patients ...
Should tumbling E go out of date in amblyopia screening? Evidence from a popula...
Guimarães, S; Fernandes, T; Costa, P; Silva, EAIMS: To determine a normative of tumbling E optotype and its feasibility for visual acuity (VA) assessment in children aged 3-4 years. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of 1756 children who were invited to participate in a comprehensive non-invasive eye exam. Uncorrected monocular VA with crowded tumbling E with a comprehensive ophthalmological examination were assessed. Testability rates of the whole populatio...
Stepwise strategy to improve cervical cancer screening adherence (SCAN-Cervical...
Firmino-Machado, J; Varela, S; Mendes, R; Moreira, A; Lunet, N; Carmo, A; Cancela, A; Firmino, A; Ramos, A; Teixeira, A; Vieira, A; Badim, B; Tojal, CThe aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of invitation to cervical cancer screening through a very low-cost strategy based on automated and customized text messages, phone calls and reminders. A randomized (1:1) controlled trial was conducted among 13 Portuguese primary care units, recruiting women aged 25 to 49 years, eligible for cervical cancer screening, with an available mobile phone number. In ...
Serum Zn Levels in Dysphagic Patients Who Underwent Endoscopic Gastrostomy for ...
Santos, C; Fonseca, J; Brito, J; Fernandes, T; Gonçalves, L; Sousa Guerreiro, ABackground and aims: Dysphagic patients who underwent endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) usually present protein-energy malnutrition, but little is known about micronutrient malnutrition. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of serum zinc in patients who underwent endoscopic gastrostomy and its relationship with serum proteins, whole blood zinc, and the nature of underlying disorder. Methods: From patients...
Mecanobiologia do osso: I. Microestrutura do osso trabecular em estudos de pale...
Capela e Silva, F; Fernandes, T; Rebocho, L; Reis, J; Potes, J; Pereira, AOs esqueletos representam a evidência mais directa da biologia das populações antigas e o seu estudo fornece dados acerca da sua demografia (ratios de idade e de sexos), saúde e bem-estar, dieta, violência, parentesco e modo de vida, ou padrões de actividade. A microarquitectura do osso trabecular apresenta correlações acentuadas com os padrões funcionais e os estímulos mecânicos externos aplicados ao longo do ...
Mecanobiologia do osso: II. Microestrutura do osso compacto em estudos de paleo...
Rebocho, L; Fernandes, T; Reis, J; Potes, J; Pereira, A; Capela e Silva, FA qualidade e quantidade de tecido ósseo depende da capacidade das suas células reconhecerem e responderem a estímulos químicos e mecânicos. O processo de remodelação óssea é coordenado pela actividade dos osteócitos, dos osteoblastos e dos osteoclastos, e funciona como base para a adaptação do esqueleto a esses estímulos. A mecanobiologia do osso assenta no processo celular da mecanotransdução, em que os osteó...
Gliosarcomas.
Sousa, O; Honavar, M; Fernandes, T; Vieira, E; Lopes, CGliosarcomas are rare tumors of the central nervous system with a poor prognosis. Histologically these tumors are characterized by an admixture of neoplastic glial cells and sarcomatous elements. Due to the scarcity of data in literature, the diagnosis is often missed and treatment is difficult. The authors report three cases of cerebral gliosarcomas and review the literature on this subject.; Gliosarcomas are ...
