Characterization of Th2 serum immune response in acute appendicitis
Carvalho, Nuno; Almeida, Jani-Sofia; Carolino, Elisabete; Lopes, Francisco; Henriques, Susana; Vaz, João; Coelho, Hélder; Santos, Paulo RodriguesAcute Appendicitis (AA) is the commonest abdominal digestive surgical emergency, but its etiology is not clarified. Based on histologic observations, an allergic cause has been proposed. In a type I hypersensitivity allergic reaction, there is a Th2 immune response characterized by Th2 cells, eosinophils, basophils, IgE, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 serum elevation. Recent studies showed a local appendicular endolumin...
RUN-UP study: an interdisciplinarity cross-sectional study
Almeida, Gabriela; Gonçalves, Bruno; Figueira, Bruno; Luz, Carlos; Cruz, Dulce; Veiga, Guida; Dores, Helder; Folgado, Hugo; Marmeleira, JoséMotor competence (MC) is positively associated with several aspects of health (i.e., physical activity (PA), cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and endurance, and healthy weight status (WS)). In turn, PA and WS are important to MC. From a health perspective, promoting PA in children is an effective strategy for children struggling with overweight and obesity, with MC being identified as foundational f...
COMPETÊNCIA MOTORA REAL PERCEBIDA: PRECISÃO DA ESTIMATIVA DA PERFORMANCE
Almeida, Gabriela; Luz, Carlos; Rodrigues, Luís Paulo; Lopes, Vitor; Cordovil, RitaO presente estudo teve como objetivo caraterizar a tendência de erro da competência motora percebida (CMP), segundo perfis de competência motora (CM) e precisão da CMP. A CM e a precisão da CMP de 287 crianças (51,57% meninos; Midade=8,63; DP= 1,15) foram avaliadas respetivamente pela Bateria Motor Competence Assessment e por quatro tarefas motoras (salto horizontal, lançamento, pontapé e caminhar para trás num...
Profiles of motor competence and its perception accuracy among children: Associ...
Almeida, Gabriela; Luz, Carlos; Rodrigues, Luís Paulo; Lopes, Vítor; Cordovil, RitaThe main goals of this study were to identify profiles in school-aged children based on actual Motor Competence (MC) and accuracy of Perceived Motor Competence (PMC) and to examine how children with different profiles differ in terms of Physical Fitness (PF) and Body Fat percentage (BF%). The MC of a total of 287 children (51.6% boys, aged between 6 and 10 years-old) was assessed using the Motor Competence Asse...
Run Up Study Ferramenta educativa e lúdica para estilos de vida saudáveis
Almeida, Gabriela; Gonçalves, Bruno; Figueira, Bruno; Luz, Carlos; Cruz, Dulce; Veiga, Guida; Dores, Hélder; Folgado, Hugo; Castela, Inês; Timóteo, InêsNum tempo em que são cada vez mais evidentes os desafios relacionados com a saúde e o bem-estar infantil, nomeadamente o aumento dos índices de obesidade, a redução da atividade física e da compe- tência motora, o tempo excessivo em frente aos ecrãs, as dificuldades no sono e os sinais de perturbações emocionais, torna-se urgente agir. Foi neste contexto que nasceu o projeto RUN UP, uma iniciativa científica e ...
Vesicoperineal Fistula: A Rare Rectal Cancer Treatment Complication
Moreira, Luísa; Margarida, André; Vasconcelos, Marta; Garção, Nunes; Luz, CarlosA vesicoperineal fistula is an uncommon entity, described as an aberrant tract between the bladder lumen and the cutaneous surface of the perineum. We present the case of a 78-year-old male who underwent abdominoperineal resection and chemoradiotherapy for the treatment of non-metastatic, locally advanced rectal cancer. Five years later, he developed a pelvic floor hernia and underwent perineal mesh repair. A f...

Rodrigues, Luis P.; Cordovil, Rita; Costa, Júlio A.; Seabra, André; Guilherme, José; Vale, Susana; Luz, Carlos; Flôres, Fábio; Lagoa, Maria JoãoThe objective of this study was to describe the effects of an extra hour of a structured motor program on the motor competence (MC) of children 6–10 years old. The need for movement interventions to enhance MC among school-aged children has gained vital importance in the last years, given the negative secular trends reported. Hence, the Portuguese Football Federation organized an intervention program on MC to b...

Mapeando o currículo: cruzando competências e áreas de conteúdo
Valente, Bianor; Ferreira, Nuno Martins; Mendes, Luís; Melo, Nuno; Brunheira, Lina; Almeida, Pedro; Pereira, Susana; Estrela, AntóniaA abordagem baseada em competências é uma das tendências fortes nos A abordagem baseada em competências é uma das tendências fortes nos currículos atuais. Em Portugal, as Aprendizagens Essenciais (AE) definem explicitamente os conhecimentos, capacidades e atitudes a serem alcançados em cada ano ou ciclo de escolaridade em cada componente curricular. Esta perspetiva tem sido adotada como uma forma de promover um...
