Ângelo, David Faustino; Teixeira, Maria Cristina Faria; Maffia, Francesco; Sanz, David; Sarkis, Marcella; Marques, Rute; Mota, BeatrizBackground/Objectives: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) encompass a range of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and associated structures. This cross-sectional study, conducted in a Portuguese TMD department, aimed to assess the relationship between malocclusion and TMD severity. Methods: Data on demographic variables, TMD clinical symptoms, and malocclusio...
F-Chin/Feminizing the chin: a genioplasty technique with virtual planning for m...
Sanz, David; Ângelo, David; Marques, Rute; Maffia, Francesco; Cardoso, Henrique JoséThe chin is an essential structure in facial harmony and an important gender marker. Advancing a receding chin is fundamental to improve the facial appearance, particularly in male-to-female transgender patients. However, in patients with microgenia and/or retrognathia, desiring a more feminine appearance, a chin advancement can result in a wider, square shape; an undesirable effect. Genioplasty is a versatile ...

Temporomandibular joint minimally invasive procedures in the pediatric populati...
Ângelo, David; Lopes, Cláudia Sacramento; Sanz, David; Faria-Teixeira, Maria Cristina; Marques, Rute; Maffia, Francesco; Cardoso, Henrique JoséOver recent years, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) minimally invasive procedures, such as arthrocentesis and arthroscopy, have been appointed as an initial TMJ intra-articular treatment. Both procedures present safe and effective clinical results in managing temporomandibular disorders (TMD) by reducing pain and improving mouth opening. The use of these techniques in adults is validated in the literature. However...
Considerations for the use of alloplastic temporomandibular joint replacement i...
Ângelo, David; Maffia, Francesco; Teschke, Marcus; Sanz, David; Galrito, Marta; Cardoso, Henrique; Marques, Rute; Nabuco, CarlosAbstract: Background: Custom-made alloplastic temporomandibular joint replacement (ATMJR) is not validated in irradiated patients. However, in specific situations, after previous reconstructive surgical failures, the authors hypothesized the role of a customized ATMJR after radiotherapy. Methods: A 65-year-old male patient was referred to Instituto Português da Face—Lisbon, Portugal— after failed attempts of ma...
Surdez e identidade surda
Lopes, Paula; Marques, RuteAtualmente a surdez é compreendida sob os pontos de vista patológico e cultural. À luz da definição socio antropológica, a surdez é uma experiência visual que se traduz nas representações e produções da pessoa surda, não considerando somente a sua apetência para a produção e compreensão linguística, mas também as suas representações intelectuais, cognitivas, estéticas, artísticas, éticas e culturais. Essa repre...

Marques, Rute; Duarte, Filipa; Marques, Helena; Rodrigues, LúciaIntrodução: A dor musculoesquelética (ME) na idade pediátrica é uma queixa frequente na prática clínica de Médicos de Família e Pediatras, por vezes de difícil caraterização. Apesar de ter frequentemente uma etiologia benigna é indispensável um correto diagnóstico diferencial. Esta queixa geralmente acarreta elevados custos em meios complementares de diagnóstico. A dor ME que tende para a cronicidade pode ter u...
Application and demonstration of the ecohydrology approach for the sustainable ...
Chícharo, Luís; Ben-Hamadou, Radhouan; Araújo Amaral, Ana Margarida; Range, Pedro; Mateus, Carmen; Piló, David; Marques, Rute; Morais, P.The implementation of the UNESCO demosite at the Guadiana estuary represents an excellent opportunity to demonstrate how to adapt, mitigate and restore functioning of estuaries and coastal areas impacted by dams and climatic changes, using the Ecohydrology approach. Worldwide estuaries are suffering similar anthropogenic impacts that affect ecosystem functioning, biodiversity and resources. Therefore, the mesoc...
Macrophages and myeloid dendritic cells, but not plasmacytoid dendritic cells, ...
Boonstra, André; Rajsbaum, Ricardo; Holman, Mary; Marques, Rute; Asselin-Paturel, Carine; Pereira, João Pedro; Bates, Elizabeth E. M.; Akira, ShizuoWe have previously reported that mouse plasmacytoid dendritic cells (DC) produce high levels of IL-12p70, whereas bone marrow-derived myeloid DC and splenic DC produce substantially lower levels of this cytokine when activated with the TLR-9 ligand CpG. We now show that in response to CpG stimulation, high levels of IL-10 are secreted by macrophages, intermediate levels by myeloid DC, but no detectable IL-10 is...
