Trends in allergic sensitization and exposure to olive pollen in Alentejo
Antunes, CM; Belchior, M; Galveias, A; Dordio, A; Ferreira, C; Grañeda, JL; Marques, JL; Costa, ARBackground: Olive pollen is among the most allergenic species in theMediterranean and the second cause of pollen allergy. The grow-ing increase in the cultivation of olive groves as well as its use asan ornamental plant in Alentejo may have an impact on exposureto allergens, potentially increasing the risk of allergic sensitization.This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the prevalenceand trends of all...

The Relevance of Plant-Based Diets and Micronutrient Supplementation for Body C...
Pinheiro, C; Silva, F; Rocha, I; Martins, C; Giesteira, L; Dias, B; Lucas, A; Alexandre, AM; Ferreira, C; Viegas, B; Bracchi, I; Guimarães, J; Amaro, J"Objectives: This study aimed to compare the anthropometry and body composition of vegetarian and omnivorous adults living in Portugal, while exploring nutritional and health parameters underlying observed differences. Methods: 425 omnivorous (OMNI), lacto-ovo-vegetarian (LOV), or vegan (VEG) healthy adults were recruited. Anthropometry was measured, and bioelectrical impedance analysis was performed. Participa...
The Association between Childhood Obesity and Cardiovascular Changes in 10 Year...
Cordeiro, JR; Mosca, S; Correia-Costa, A; Ferreira, C; Pimenta, J; Correia-Costa, L; Barros, H; Postolache, OThe increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity is a worldwide problem, with several well-known consequences that might start to develop early in life during childhood. The present research based on data from children that have been followed since birth in a previously established cohort study (Generation XXI, Porto, Portugal), taking advantage of State-of-the-Art (SoA) data science techniques and methods, ...

Nationwide Access to Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Portugal
Carvalho Dias, M; Soares dos Reis, R; Santos, JV; Paiva Nunes, A; Ferreira, P; Maia, B; Fragata, I; Reis, J; Ramos Lopes, J; Cruz, L; Santo, GIntroduction: Since the publication of endovascular treatment trials and European Stroke Guidelines, Portugal has re-organized stroke healthcare. The nine centers performing endovascular treatment are not equally distributed within the country, which may lead to differential access to endovascular treatment. Our main aim was to perform a descriptive analysis of the main treatment metrics regarding endovascular ...
A Rare Case of Pleural Empyema Caused by Campylobacter Rectus
Figueiredo, L; Ferrão, J; Ferreira, C; Fernandes, A; Costa, MJCampylobacter rectus is considered to be a primary periodontal pathogen that is rarely identified in extraoral specimens. We report a case of pleural empyema caused by Campylobacter rectus: the pathogen was isolated in the drained pleural fluid sample. Since the patient had previously undergone multiple antibiotic treatments, oral cultures were highly unlikely to be positive, although poor dental hygiene appear...
Prognostic Value of Isolated Elevated Troponin I Levels in Patients without Acu...
Domingues, C; Ferreira, MJ; Ferreira, JM; Marinho, AV; Alves, PM; Ferreira, C; Fonseca, I; Gonçalves, LBackground: Although non-ischemic troponin elevation is frequently seen in patients admitted to the emergency department (ED), consensus regarding its management is lacking. Objectives: This study aimed to characterize patients admitted to the ED with non-ischemic troponin elevation and to identify potential mortality predictors in this population. Methods: This retrospective observational study included ED pat...
Characterization of Oral Enterobacteriaceae Prevalence and Resistance Profile i...
Costa, CFFA; Merino-Ribas, A; Ferreira, C; Campos, C; Silva, N; Pereira, L; Garcia, A; Azevedo, Á; Mesquita, RBR; Rangel, AOSS; Manaia, CMChronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing public-health concern worldwide. Patients exhibit compromised immunity and are more prone to infection than other populations. Therefore, oral colonization by clinically relevant members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, major agents of both nosocomial and dialysis-associated infections with frequent prevalence of antibiotic resistances, may constitute a serious risk. T...
Nonlinear models for design of circular RC columns under ultimate and service s...
Barros, H; Ferreira, C; Figueiras, J; Mário Jorge PimentelThe present paper is dedicated to the ultimate and to the service design of circular reinforced concrete sections under axial load and bending moment, according to Eurocode 2 [1]. The objective of the present work is to develop design equations for circular reinforced concrete sections, solving the equilibrium equations by mathematic symbolic software. The concrete only supports compressive stresses and the ste...
