Prevalence and determinants of motor stereotypies in autism spectrum disorder: ...
Melo, C; Azevedo LStereotypies are frequently reported in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) but remain one of the less explained phenomena. We aimed to describe, through a systematic review and a meta-analysis, the prevalence of motor stereotypies in ASD and study the factors that influence this prevalence. Our literature search included MEDLINE, Scopus, and PsycINFO databases. Quality and risk of bias were assessed. Th...

This device consists of a sil...
Computerized respiratory sound analysis in people with dementia: a first-step t...
Rocha, V; Melo, C; Marques, AComputerized respiratory sound analysis has been shown to be an objective and reliable way to assess respiratory diseases. However, its application in non-collaborative populations, such as people with dementia, is still unknown. Therefore this study aimed to characterize normal and adventitious respiratory sounds (NRS; ARS) in older people with and without dementia. A cross-sectional study including two groups...
