PCR-Based Detection of Bovine Papillomavirus Type 1 (BPV-1) in Ocular Squamous ...
Bilhastre, Beatriz; Pinto, Carlos; Vala, Helena; Mascarenhas, Paulo; Branco, Sandra; Ribeiro, Ana ClaraBovine Ocular Squamous Cell Carcinoma (BOSCC) is the most prevalent ocular malignancy in cattle, primarily affecting the nictitating membrane but also involving other ocular and periocular structures, including the cornea, sclera, eyelids, third eyelid, limbus, and conjunctiva. Originating from keratinocytes, BOSCC is a significant cause of economic loss due to carcass rejection, increased veterinary costs, and...
Oral health status of adult dysphagic patients that undergo endoscopic gastrost...
Lopes, Sara; Tavares, Vitor; Mascarenhas, Paulo; Lopes, Marta; Cardote, Carolina; Godinho, Catarina; Oliveira, Cátia; Santos, Carla AdrianaBackground: Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is required to maintain a feeding route when neurological or cancer dysphagia impact oral intake. This study aimed to evaluate the oral health and oral changes of PEG-patients without oral feeding for three months.
An umbrella review of the evidence linking oral health and systemic noncommunic...
Botelho, João; Mascarenhas, Paulo; Viana, João; Proença, Luís; Orlandi, Marco; Leira, Yago; Chambrone, Leandro; Mendes, José João; Machado, VanessaOral diseases are highly prevalent worldwide. Recent studies have been supporting a potential bidirectional association of oral diseases with systemic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Available evidence supports that people with NCDs have a greater prevalence of oral diseases particularly those with limited ability of oral self-care. Regarding the reverse relationship, the lines of evidence pointing out NCDs as...
Chronological age range estimation of cervical vertebral maturation using Bacce...
Magalhães, Maria Inês; Machado, Vanessa; Mascarenhas, Paulo; Botelho, João; Mendes, José João; Delgado, Ana SintraBackground: The timing of growth is a key factor for correct orthodontic treatment planning. Cervical vertebrae maturation (CVM) is no exception, although the reported chronological ages vary in the literature. Objective: We aimed to estimate the average chronological age for each Baccetti’s CVM staging. Search methods: Search on MEDLINE-PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, Google Scholar, Cochrane Central Register of Contr...
In search of novel degradation-resistant monomers for adhesive dentistry : a sy...
Mocharko, Vlasta; Mascarenhas, Paulo; Azul, Ana Mano; Delgado, António H. S.This study aimed to assess whether degradation-resistant monomers included in experimental dental adhesives can improve long-term bond strength compared to conventional monomers. This study followed the latest PRISMA guidance (2020). The search for the systematic review was carried out in four electronic databases: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, SciELO and EMBASE, without restrictions on the year of publication and la...
Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) : an umbrella review
Ventura, Vanda; Botelho, João; Machado, Vanessa; Mascarenhas, Paulo; Pereira, François Durand; Mendes, José João; Delgado, Ana SintraIn postpubertal patients, maxillary transverse discrepancy is a common condition often requiring surgical approaches. To overcome the excess morbidity and discomfort, maxillary expansion through miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) was proposed and studied in the last few years. This umbrella review aims to critically appraise the quality of evidence and the main clinical outcomes of available sys...
Oral health status of adult dysphagic patients that undergo endoscopic gastrost...
Lopes, Sara; Tavares, Vitor; Mascarenhas, Paulo; Lopes, Marta; Cardote, Carolina; Godinho, Catarina; Oliveira, Cátia; Santos, Carla AdrianaBackground: Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is required to maintain a feeding route when neurological or cancer dysphagia impact oral intake. This study aimed to evaluate the oral health and oral changes of PEG-patients without oral feeding for three months. Methods: Prospective observational study, with a PEG-patients convenience sample. Data were obtained before PEG (T0) and 3 months after gastrostomy (T1). Init...
Association between IL-1A, IL-1B and IL-1RN polymorphisms and peri-implantitis ...
Cardoso, José Maria; Duarte, Sofia; Ribeiro, Ana Clara; Mascarenhas, Paulo; Noronha, Susana; Alves, Ricardo CastroRecent studies report that individuals with polymorphisms in the genes that encode for interleukin (IL)-1α and IL-1β (IL-1A and IL1B, respectively) and for IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) may be more susceptible in developing peri-implantitis. Therefore, the current systematic review evaluates what is reported about the role of genetics, more specifically of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on IL-1 and v...
Autism spectrum disorders and malocclusions : systematic review and meta-analyses
Barros, Aline; Mascarenhas, Paulo; Botelho, João; Machado, Vanessa; Balixa, Gabriela; Lopes, Luísa BandeiraStudies heretofore have shown inconsistent results on the link of ASD to malocclusion. Herein, we aimed to compare the prevalence of malocclusion among children and adolescents with ASD compared with non-ASD healthy counterparts through a systematic review. The electronic search focused on five databases, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, LILACS, and OpenGrey until January 2022, and followed the Preferred Reporti...
The effects of an intensive rehabilitation program on the nutritional and funct...
Sousa-Catita, Diogo; Godinho, Catarina; Mascarenhas, Paulo; Quaresma, Filipa; Fonseca, JorgeMost hospitalized COVID-19 pneumonia patients are older adults and/or have nutrition-related issues. Many are bedridden in intensive care units (ICU), a well-documented cause of malnutrition, muscle wasting, and functional impairment. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of an intensive rehabilitation program over the nutritional/functional status of patients recovering from COVID-19 pneumonia. Post-COVID-19...
