Gait speed in clinical and daily living assessments in Parkinson’s disease pati...
Atrsaei, Arash; Corrà, Marta; Dadashi, Farzin; Vila Cha, Nuno; Maia, Luis; Mariani, Benoit; Maetzler, Walter; Aminian, KamiarGait speed often referred as the sixth vital sign is the most powerful biomarker of mobility. While a clinical setting allows the estimation of gait speed under controlled conditions that present functional capacity, gait speed in real-life conditions provides the actual performance of the patient. The goal of this study was to investigate objectively under what conditions during daily activities, patients perf...
Timely and Blood-Based Multiplex Molecular Profiling of Acute Stroke
Dias, Alexandre; Silva, Isabel; Pinto, Inês Mendes; Maia, LuisStroke is a leading cause of death and disability in the world. To address such a problem, early diagnosis and tailored acute treatment represent one of the major priorities in acute stroke care. Since the efficacy of reperfusion treatments is highly time-dependent, there is a critical need to optimize procedures for faster and more precise diagnosis. We provide a concise review of the most relevant and well-do...
Advantages of an Automated Method Compared With Manual Methods for the Quantifi...
Corrà, Marta; Sousa, Mafalda; Reis, Inês; Tanganelli, Fabiana; Vila-Chã, Nuno; Sousa, Ana Paula; Magalhães, Rui; Sampaio, Paula; Taipa, RicardoIntraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) measurements in skin biopsy are performed manually by 1-3 operators. To improve diagnostic accuracy and applicability in clinical practice, we developed an automated method for fast IENFD determination with low operator-dependency. Sixty skin biopsy specimens were stained with the axonal marker PGP9.5 and imaged using a widefield fluorescence microscope. IENFD was firs...
A gestão da psicologia do desporto e o contexto prisional
Rodrigues, Rita; Maia, Luis; Santos, Jorge; Sofia, SilvaA psicologia do desporto é definida como uma área profissional e uma disciplina científica que foca nas pessoas e nos seus comportamentos em atividades desportivas e atividades físicas. Para muitos é uma subdisciplina das ciências do desporto e para outros uma subdisciplina da psicologia. A psicologia do desporto tem raízes com mais de 100 anos e atualmente tem sido uma tendência. Afunilando o tema, a atividade...
Motor, cognitive and mobility deficits in 1000 geriatric patients: protocol of ...
Geritz, Johanna; Maetzold, Sara; Steffen, Maren; Pilotto, Andrea; Corrà, Marta; Moscovich, Mariana; Rizzetti, Maria C; Borroni, BarbaraBackground: Motor and cognitive deficits and consequently mobility problems are common in geriatric patients. The currently available methods for diagnosis and for the evaluation of treatment in this vulnerable cohort are limited. The aims of the ComOn (COgnitive and Motor interactions in the Older populatioN) study are (i) to define quantitative markers with clinical relevance for motor and cognitive deficits,...
The international European Academy of Neurology survey on neurological symptoms...
Moro, E.; Priori, A.; Beghi, E.; Helbok, R.; Campiglio, L.; Bassetti, C. L.; Bianchi, E.; Maia, Luis; Ozturk, S.; Cavallieri, F.; Zedde, M.; Sellner, J.Background and purpose: Although the main clinical features of COVID-19 infection are pulmonary, several associated neurological signs, symptoms and diseases are emerging. The incidence and characteristics of neurological complications are unclear. For this reason, the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) core COVID-19 Task Force initiated a survey on neurological symptoms observed in patients with COVID-19 infe...
Wearable Health Technology to Quantify the Functional Impact of Peripheral Neur...
Corrà, Marta; Warmerdam, Elke; Vila-Chã, Nuno; Maetzler, Walter; Maia, LuisThe occurrence of peripheral neuropathy (PNP) is often observed in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with a prevalence up to 55%, leading to more prominent functional deficits. Motor assessment with mobile health technologies allows high sensitivity and accuracy and is widely adopted in PD, but scarcely used for PNP assessments. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the methodologies and the most rel...
Does SARS‐Cov‐2 invade the brain? Translational lessons from animal models
Natoli, S.; Oliveira, V.; Calabresi, P.; Maia, Luis; Pisani, A.The current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has raised the possibility of potential neurotropic properties of this virus. Indeed, neurological sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection have already been reported and highlight the relevance of considering the neurological impact of coronavirus (CoV) from a translational perspective...
O perfil de atenção dos alunos nas aulas de educação física: diferenças entre o...
Santos, Jorge; Petrica, João; Maia, LuisAs modalidades desportivas demandam uma atenção concentrada, detida e polarizada, como condição necessária para o processo de aprendizagem. Tomada como condição essencial para a aprendizagem, a atenção, é considerada uma poderosa variável mediadora, porque é notória a sua influência no processo de enino-aprendizagem, bem como a influência existente entre o comportamento do professor, do aluno e os resultados da...
Attention in physical education classes: differences between colletive sports
Santos, Jorge; Petrica, João; Serrano, João; Batista, Marco; Honório, Samuel; Lercas, Afonso Jorge Vicente; Maia, LuisAttention is considered an important mediator variable in the teaching / learning process, because of that, the scientific community made several investigations in order to understand what students are thinking, what strategies are best to captivate their attention and the type of instructions and/or feedback to develop students’ performance in achieving motor skills. In this research we tried to find differenc...
