MicroRNAs as potential biomarkers of response to modified Atkins diet in treatm...
Samões, Raquel; Cavalheiro, Ana; Santos, Cristina; Lopes, Joana; Teixeira, Catarina; Tavares, Maria Manuel; Carvalho, Cláudia; Lemos, CarolinaBackground: Accurate predictors of response to modified Atkins diet (MAD) are needed. MicroRNAs are potential biomarkers in epilepsy. This study aimed to explore the value of circulating miR-146a, miR-155, miR-22, miR-21 and miR-134 levels in predicting response to MAD. Methods: Patients who completed 3 months of MAD were selected from a prospective cohort of adults with DRE followed in a specialized MAD outpat...
Genotype-first approach to identify associations between CDH1 germline variants...
Garcia-Pelaez, José; Barbosa-Matos, Rita; Lobo, Silvana; Dias, Alexandre dos Santos; Garrido, Luzia; Castedo, Sérgio; Sousa, SóniaBackground Truncating pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants of CDH1 cause hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC), a tumour risk syndrome that predisposes carrier individuals to diffuse gastric and lobular breast cancer. Rare CDH1 missense variants are often classified as variants of unknown significance. We conducted a genotype– phenotype analysis in families carrying rare CDH1 variants, comparing cancer s...
Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy: Physical and Sociopsychological Effects, Impa...
Santos, Rafael Baptista; Lemos, Carolina; Saraiva, MiguelBackground Gender dysphoria treatment includes gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT). Studies are still lacking on how to characterize its effects and impact on transgender people's lives more effectively. Aim To study the physical and psychological effects of GAHT on transgender individuals, assess its impact on their lives, and rate their overall satisfaction. Methods Participants (n = 114; ages 18-62 years...
Physical Activity, Exercise, and Sports in Individuals with Skeletal Dysplasia:...
Jacinto, Miguel; Matos, Rui; Alves, Inês; Lemos, Carolina; Monteiro, Diogo; Morouço, Pedro; Antunes, RaulThere is a lack of knowledge about the practice of physical activity, exercise, and sports in people with skeletal dysplasia (SD). This study aimed to characterize the physical fitness of people with SD; investigate the benefits of physical activity, exercise, or sports programs for people with SD; identify the adapted physical activities that can be prescribed to individuals with SD; and identify the most comm...

Female preponderance in genetic generalized epilepsies
Videira, Gonçalo; Gabriel, Denis; Freitas, Joel; Samões, Raquel; Chorão, Rui; Lopes, João; Ramalheira, João; Ramalheira, João E.P.; Lemos, CarolinaIntroduction: Epilepsy is more prevalent in men but Genetic Generalized Epilepsies (GGE) seem to be more common in women. A predominant maternal inheritance has been previously described in GGE. Our objective was to determine sex and inheritance patterns in a GGE population compared to mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLEHS). Methods: We performed a prospective observational study incl...
Impact of malocclusion, tooth loss and oral hygiene habits on quality of life i...
pereira, Dinis; Machado, Vanessa; Botelho, João; Proença, Luís; Rua, João; Lemos, Carolina; Mendes, José João; Delgado, Ana SintraWe aimed to assess the impact of malocclusion on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in a sample composed of adolescents, younger adults and adults seeking orthodontic treatment. Participants were consecutively enrolled from January 2019 to March 2020. The oral health impact profile (OHIP-14) was used to measure the OHRQoL. The index of complexity, outcome and need (ICON) was used to assess malocclusio...
CD44v6 high membranous expression is a predictive marker of therapy response in...
Almeida, Gabriela M; Pereira, Carla; Park, Ji-Hyeon; Lemos, Carolina; Campelos, Sofia; Gullo, Irene; Martins, Diana; Gonçalves, Gilza; Leitão, DinaIn gastric cancer (GC), biomarkers that define prognosis and predict treatment response remain scarce. We hypothesized that the extent of CD44v6 membranous tumor expression could predict prognosis and therapy response in GC patients. Two GC surgical cohorts, from Portugal and South Korea (n = 964), were characterized for the extension of CD44v6 membranous immuno-expression, clinicopathological features, patient...
