Objectives: In early life, children are exposed to microorgan-isms from maternal and environmental sources, which influ- ence the development of their microbiome throughout life. Several studies have demonstrated the influence of the deliv- ery mode and breastfeeding on the oral microbiome of chil-dren, mostly regarding bacterial colonization. However, their influence on the oral fungal carriage is still under ...
Background: The demand for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is rising. In the face of rapidly increasing health care costs, ensuring widespread, cost-effective rehabilitation is a priority. Technologies allowing independent home-based rehabilitation may be the key to facilitate access, improve effectiveness, and lower costs of care. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a novel artificia...
In-person home-based rehabilitation and telerehabilitation can be as effective as clinic-based rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but require heavy logistics and are highly dependent on human supervision. New technologies that allow independent home-based rehabilitation without constant human supervision may help solve this problem. This was a single-center, feasibility study comparing a digita...
A Síndrome de Stevens-Johnson (SSJ) e a Necrólise Epidérmica Tóxica pertencem a um espetro de doenças raras, potencialmente fatais, distinguindo-se pela área corporal afetada. A mucosite é comum aos dois quadros, frequentemente inaugural e pode ocorrer isoladamente. É o caso da mucosite associada a Mycoplasma pnemoniae, também designada SSJ atípica, que se caracteriza por pródromo respiratório seguido de mucosi...
