Metodologias de Avaliação em Ortotraumatologia/ Reumatologia - Goniometria

Esta sebenta, resumida e organizada por tópicos, foi elaborada com o intuito de facilitar os processos de ensino e aprendizagem na área da Goniometria, e espera-se que seja útil para os estudantes e docentes das áreas pedagógicas envolvidas no estudo e prática desta técnica nos processos de avaliação e intervenção na prática clínica

BREAST-Q Translation and Linguistic Validation to European Portuguese

Introduction: Evaluating the impact of surgical treatment on health-related quality of life of breast cancer patients has become increasingly relevant, particularly for reconstructive procedures. The BREAST-Q consists of a broadly used patient-reported outcome measure to assess the impact of breast surgery on the health-related quality of life of these patients. The aim of this study was to translate and lingui...

PCT kinetics in the first week postburn for sepsis diagnosis and death prognosi...

Despite continuous advances in burn care, sepsis is still the main cause of death in burn patients. Procalcitonin (PCT) has been reported as an accurate sepsis biomarker and also as a fair predictor of death. The aim of this study was to assess PCT kinetics in the first week postburn regarding sepsis diagnosis and death prognosis. Sample included 142 patients with ≥15% TBSA, admitted from January 2011 to Decemb...

Procalcitonin in burn patients: diagnosis of sepsis and prognosis of death in t...

Evaluation of procalcitonin accuracy for the distinction between gram-negative ...

Sepsis is the main cause of death in burns. Early institution of antimicrobial therapy is crucial to optimize outcomes but superfluous therapy increases adverse events, microbial resistance, and costs. Blood cultures are the gold standard for diagnosis but can take 48 to 72 hours. Biomarkers are used to help sepsis diagnosis and distinction between Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial cause. The aim of thi...

Checking procalcitonin suitability for prognosis and antimicrobial therapy moni...

Due to greater infection susceptibility, sepsis is the main cause of death in burn patients. Quick diagnosis and patient stratification, early and appropriated antimicrobial therapy, and focus control are crucial for patients' survival. On the other hand, superfluous extension of therapy is associated with adverse events and arousal of microbial resistance. The use of biomarkers, necessarily coupled with close ...

Procalcitonin kinetics after burn injury and burn surgery in septic and non-sep...

Early sepsis diagnosis is crucial for the correct management of burn patients, and it clearly influences outcomes. The systemic inflammatory response triggered by burns mimics sepsis presentation and complicates early sepsis diagnosis. Biomarkers were advocated to aid the diagnosis of early sepsis. Serum procalcitonin (PCT) exhibits fair accuracy and good correlation with sepsis severity, being used in diverse ...
