Gabapentinoids in Neuropathic Pain: Past or Present?
Marques, Ana; Moreira, Carla; Rodrigues, Carolina; Azevedo, Daniela; Fernandes, Filipe; Oliveira, Francisco; Figueiredo, Inês; Neves, Luís; Nunes, RitaPain is an entity that has accompanied human beings since the beginning of their existence. Neuropathic pain, induced by alterations in the somatosensory system, has its own characteristics and treatment. Gabapentinoids are antiepileptic drugs that show marked similarities to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), one of the main inhibitory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system (CNS). Since the discovery of ...
Cortical auditory evoked potentials in 1-month-old infants predict language out...
Cruz, Sara; Crego, Alberto; Moreira, Carla; Ribeiro, Eugénia; Gonçalves, Óscar F.; Ramos, Rita; Sampaio, AdrianaThe neurophysiological assessment of infants in their first developmental year can provide important information about the functional changes of the brain and supports the study of behavioral and developmental characteristics. Infants' cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) reflect cortical maturation and appear to predict subsequent language abilities. This study aimed to identify CAEP components to two a...
Transitions Between Preexposure Prophylaxis Eligibility States and HIV Infectio...
Meireles, Paula; Rocha, Miguel; Moreira, Carla; Plankey, Michael; Barros, HenriqueWe aimed to describe transitions between preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) eligibility and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM). We used data from 1,885 MSM, who had not used PrEP, enrolled in the Lisbon Cohort of MSM, with at least 2 consecutive measurements of PrEP eligibility from 2014-2020. A time-homogeneous Markov multistate model was applied to desc...

Agostinis-Sobrinho, César; Werneck, André de Oliveira; Kievišienė, Justina; Moreira, Carla; Ramírez-Vélez, Robinson; Rosário, Rafaela; Norkiene, SiguteObjective: Adolescent's ideal cardiovascular health index (ICVH) seems to be an important indicator of youth's lifestyles and cardiometabolic health with potential positive consequences for their Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between the ICVH index and HRQoL in adolescents. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study based on secondary analyses f...
A narrative review of motor competence in children and adolescents: what we kno...
Lopes, Luís; Santos, Rute; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel; Draper, Catherine; Mota, Jorge; Jidovtseff, Boris; Clark, Cain; Schmidt, Mirko; Morgan, PhilipLack of physical activity is a global public health problem causing not only morbidity and premature mortality, but it is also a major economic burden worldwide. One of the cornerstones of a physically active lifestyle is Motor Competence (MC). MC is a complex biocultural attribute and therefore, its study requires a multi-sectoral, multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary approach. MC is a growing area of research...

Prevalence and incidence of cognitive impairment in an elder Portuguese populat...
Pais, Ricardo; Ruano, Luís; Moreira, Carla; Carvalho, Ofélia P.; Barros, HenriqueBackground The increase in average life expectancy increases the risk of illness and frailty in the elderly, especially in the cognitive arena. This study has the objective to estimate the prevalence and incidence of cognitive impairment, in a representative sample of 65 to 85 years old followed for a mean period of 6-years. Methods Subjects aged 65–85 years (n = 586) were screened at baseline (1999–2004) to es...

Lascasas, Josefina; Fonseca, Isabel; J, Malheiro; Santos, Sofia; Campos, Andreia; Castro, Ana; Moreira, Carla; Correia, Sofia; Beirão, IdalinaIntroduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for several unfavorable outcomes including cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly in the elderly, who represent the most rapidly growing segment of the end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) population. Portugal has the highest European unadjusted incidence and prevalence rates of ESKD. In 2012, we started to follow a cohort of elderly CKD pa...
Gestational Weight Gain and Offspring Bone Mass: Different Associations in Heal...
Monjardino, Teresa; Henriques, Ana; Moreira, Carla; Rodrigues, Teresa; Adubeiro, Nuno; Nogueira, Luísa; Cooper, Cyrus; Santos, Ana CristinaWeight management strategies during pregnancy reduce child cardiometabolic risk. However, because maternal weight has an overall positive correlation with offspring bone mass, pregnancy weight management could adversely affect child bone health. We aimed to estimate associations between gestational weight gain (GWG) and bone mineralization in the offspring at 7 years of age, and test early pregnancy body mass i...
