Creation and Validation of the European Portuguese Version of the Systemic Lupu...
Ferreira, Pedro Lopes; Cunha, Rita Novais; Macieira, Carla; Fontes, Tomás; Inês, Luís; Maduro, Ana Isabel Ramos; Martins, Ana; Rajão, Frederico(1) Background: Patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) experience profound effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) that cannot be explained by objective indicators of mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to adapt the SLE Quality of Life (SLEQoL) questionnaire to the European Portuguese population and to assess its reliability and validity for patients with SLE. (2) Methods: Two independe...

Samões, Beatriz; Guimarães da Fonseca, Diogo; Beirão, Tiago; Costa, Flávio; Vieira, Romana; Terroso, Georgina; Ferreira, Raquel Miriam; Nicolau, RafaelaIntroduction/objectives: The study aims to define the clinical and subclinical calcinosis prevalence, the sensitivity of radiographed site and clinical method for its diagnosis, and the phenotype of Portuguese systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients with calcinosis. Method: A cross-sectional multicenter study was conducted with SSc patients fulfilling Leroy/Medsger 2001 or ACR/EULAR 2013 classification criteria, regi...

Oliveira Ramos, Filipa; Rodrigues, Ana; Magalhaes Martins, Fernando; Melo, Ana Teresa; Aguiar, Francisca; Brites, Luisa; Azevedo, SoraiaObjective: To compare physical disability, mental health, fatigue and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) across juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) categories in adulthood and between JIA and adult-onset rheumatic diseases. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis nested in a cohort of adult patients with JIA registered in the Rheumatic Diseases Portuguese Register (Reuma.pt). Physical disability (Health Assessmen...
Reducing the information gap on loricarioidei (Siluriformes) mitochondrial geno...
Moreira, Daniel Andrade; Buckup, Paulo Andreas; Furtado, Carolina; Val, Adalberto Luis; Schama, Renata; Parente, Thiago E.M.Background: The genetic diversity of Neotropical fish fauna is underrepresented in public databases. This distortion is evident for the order Siluriformes, in which the suborders Siluroidei and Loricarioidei share equivalent proportion of species, although far less is known about the genetics of the latter clade, endemic to the Neotropical Region. Recently, this information gap was evident in a study about the ...

Effectiveness and long-term retention of anti-tumour necrosis factor treatment ...
Mourao, Ana F.; Santos, Maria J.; Melo Gomes, Jose A.; Martins, Fernando M.; Mendonca, Silvia C.; Ramos, Filipa Oliveira; Fernandes, SusanaMethods. We prospectively collected patient and disease characteristics from patients with JIA who started biological therapy. Adverse events were collected during the follow-up period. Predictors of response at 1 year and drug retention rates were assessed at 4 years of treatment for the first biologic agent.Results. A total of 812 JIA patients [65% females, mean age at JIA onset 6.9 years (s.d. 4.7)], 227 rec...
Genetic predictors of poor prognosis in Portuguese patients with Juvenile Idiop...
Mourão, Ana; Santos, Maria; Mendonça, Sílvia; Oliveira-Ramos, Filipa; Salgado, Manuel; Estanqueiro, Paula; Melo-Gomes, José; Martins, FernandoIntroduction: This study aimed to assess the genetic determinants of poor outcome in Portuguese patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods: Our study was conducted in Reuma.pt, the Rheumatic Diseases Portuguese Register, which includes patients with JIA. We collected prospectively patient and disease characteristics and a blood sample for DNA analysis. Poor prognosis was defined as CHAQ/HAQ >0.7...
