The reha...
Rehabilitation of Neonatal Brachial Plexus Palsy: Integrative Literature Review
Frade, F; Gómez-Salgado, J; Jacobsohn, L; Florindo-Silva, FThis integrative literature review has been carried out with the aim of analyzing the scientific literature aimed at identifying and describing existing rehabilitation treatments/therapies for neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP). NBPP is a frequent consequence of difficult birthing, and it impairs the function of the brachial plexus in newborns. This is why knowledge on rehabilitation strategies deserves spec...
The risk of chronic kidney disease and mortality are increased after community-...
Soto, K; Campos, P; Pinto, I; Rodrigues, B; Frade, F; Papoila, AL; Devarajan, PWe investigated whether community-acquired acute kidney injury encountered in a tertiary hospital emergency department setting increases the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mortality, and whether plasma biomarkers could improve the prediction of those adverse outcomes. In a prospective cohort study, we enrolled 616 patients at admission to the emergency department and followed them for a median of 62.1...
Plasma NGAL for the diagnosis of AKI in patients admitted from the emergency de...
Soto, K; Papoila, A; Coelho, S; Bennett, M; Ma, Q; Rodrigues, B; Fidalgo, P; Frade, F; Devarajan, PBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin as a marker of AKI in patients admitted from the emergency department. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: In this prospective cohort study, patients (n=616) admitted from the emergency department from March to November of 2008 were classified according to clinical c...

Cystatin C as a marker of acute kidney injury in the emergency department
Soto, K; Coelho, S; Rodrigues, B; Martins, H; Frade, F; Lopes, S; Cunha, L; Papoila, A; Devarajan, PBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is usually based on changes in serum creatinine, which is a poor marker of early renal dysfunction. The discriminative and predictive abilities of serum and urinary cystatin C were examined for the prediction of AKI. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: In this prospective cohort study, serum and urinary cystatin C were serially mea...
As Alterações do Doppler Cardíaco Perante Modificação da Volémia em Cuidados In...
Marcelino, P; Frade, F; Marum, S; Fernandes, AP; Ribeiro, JP; Lopes, MGNum grupo de 64 doentes de uma Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos, 24 dos quais submetidos a ventilação mecânica, foi determinada a influência da modificação da volémia nas características do Doppler cardíaco, através da negativização do balanço hídrico e correspondente modificação da pressão venosa central. Com a modificação da volémia, a relação E/A do fluxo transvalvular mitral mostrou uma tendência para reduzir...
