Interpretation of many-valuedness in quality-of-life instruments
Ribeiro, Luís Pedro; Eklund, Patrik; Gomes Alves Ferreira, Maria Augusta; Magalhães Ribeiro, Anabela de; Farinha, Maria Conceição; Paiva, Maria AdelaideAssessment instruments for functioning in general and quality of life in particular often involve discrete scales with three, four, or five values, or Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) with a range 0–100. VAS scales often need to be downsized and discretized using intervals or clusters. Cutoff points for these intervals/clusters need to be carefully selected and justified. Our objective was to underline the importan...
Utilização off-label de omalizumab bem sucedida numa criança com urticária crón...
Gonçalves, Tânia; Alen Coutinho, Iolanda; Pita, Joana Sofia; Leiria Pinto, PaulaOmalizumab está aprovado como terapêutica de terceira linha em doentes a partir dos 12 anos de idade com urticária crónica espontânea refratária a anti-histamínicos. É apresentado o caso de um rapaz de oito anos de idade com história de lesões cutâneas maculopapulares migratórias, artralgias e hiperemia conjuntival. Os resultados analíticos não demonstraram alterações relevantes e a biópsia cutânea fo...

Gonçalves, Tânia; Winck, João Carlos; Silva, Fátima; Caneiras, Cátia; Montes, António Mesquita; Vilarinho, Rui; Mesquita Montes, António; Vilarinho, RuiThe new incremental step test (IST) is a field test that was developed for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), based on the characteristics of the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT); however, its measurement properties still need to be determined. We aimed, first, to assess the construct validity (through the comparison with the ISWT), within-day reliability and measurement error of the ...
Bringing a uniform home: a qualitative study on police officer’s work-family ba...
Castro, Bárbara Sofia Freitas Sousa; Mendes, Gabriela; Gonçalves, Tânia; Oliveira, Carina; Figueiredo, Maria João; Costa, Patrício Soares; Maia, AngelaBeing a police officer is a very stressful job, characterized by occupational stressors that impact mental health and increasing work-family balance. Quantitative research is unable to clarify how police officers cope with the impact of work challenges on work-family balance. This study aims to understand how police officers narrate the impact of their work on their family experiences. Nineteen semi-structured ...

Vilarinho, Rui; Toledo, Ana; Silva, Carla; Melo, Fábio; Tomaz, Leila; Martins, Luana; Gonçalves, Tânia; Melo, Cristina; Caneiras, CátiaStep tests are important in community- and home-based rehabilitation programs to assess patients’ exercise capacity. A new incremental step test was developed for this purpose, but its clinical interpretability is currently limited. This study aimed to establish a reference equation for this new incremental step test (IST) for the Portuguese adult population. A cross-sectional study was conducted on people with...
Invasive and minimally invasive optical detection of pigment accumulation in br...
Oliveira, Luís; Gonçalves, Tânia; Pinheiro, Maria; Fernandes, Luís; Martins, Inês; Silva, Hugo; Oliveira, Hélder; Tuchin, Valery; Oliveira, LuísThe estimation of the spectral absorption coefficient of biological tissues provides valuable information that can be used in diagnostic procedures. Such estimation can be made using direct calculations from invasive spectral measurements or though machine learning algorithms based on noninvasive or minimally invasive spectral measurements. Since in a noninvasive approach, the number of measurements is limited,...
