Revision Arthroplasty in Vancouver B1 Periprosthetic Hip Fractures
Pereira, João C.; Moreira, André; Costa, André; Correia, Guilherme; Tinoco, João B.; Varanda, Pedro; Rodrigues, Eurico B.Introduction: Periprosthetic hip fractures (PHF) represent an important complication after hip arthroplasty. The management of Vancouver B1 fractures remains elusive. While most stems may present radiographically as stable, stem fixation may in fact be compromised. Choosing plate osteosynthesis as a treatment in this type of fractures, trusting radiographic studies alone may lead to implant failure. Methods: We...

Viegas, Carla; Paciência, Inês; Pena, Pedro; Cervantes, Renata; Antola, Lisa; Henderson, Drew; Rantala, Aino-K.; Hugg, Timo; Jaakkola, Maritta S.Background: Allergic diseases are a major concern in high-income countries, and their occurrence continues to increase worldwide. Despite previous studies reporting the health effects of exposure to both chemical and (micro)biological agents, aeroallergens have been less well studied. Most studies have focused on exposure to indoor allergens at home. However, exposure can happen in other environments, including...

Association between urinary sodium excretion and body fat in school-aged childr...
Soares, A.P.; Rodrigues, Mónica; Padrão, Patrícia; Gonçalves, C.; Moreira, André; Moreira, PedroChildhood obesity has been associated with increased sodium intake.
