Challenges in the Preventive Maintenance of Early 20th-Century Reinforced Concr...
Paupério, E; Xavier Romão; Silva, R; Moreira, STwentieth-century building materials and construction techniques may often differ from traditional materials and methods of the past. There is a need to research and develop specific repair methods appropriate to unique types of construction. Approaches for the Conservation of Twentieth-Century Architectural Heritage, Madrid Document 2011, ICOMOS. Natural deterioration caused by the ageing of the materials and ...
A Hybrid-Telerehabilitation Versus a Conventional Program for Urinary Incontine...
Santiago, M; Cardoso-Teixeira, P; Pereira, S; Firmino-Machado, J; Moreira, SIntroduction and hypothesis This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a hybrid telerehabilitation program with a traditional face to face model in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and mixed incontinence (MUI) with a predominance of SUI. The authors hypothesized that home pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) would have a similar benefit to outpatient PFMT. Methods Parallel randomized controlled...
CROSS-BORDER FORTRESSES IN PORTUGAL; INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS
Paupério, E; António Arêde; Moreira, S<jats:p>Aiming at promoting careful and heritage-respecting rehabilitation interventions, in line with the recommendations of ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites), the Rehabilitation Nucleus of the Construction Institute (NR-IC), integrated in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), has participated in several conservation and requalification projects. The development and ...
Urinary incontinence in women who practice recreational exercise: A cross-secti...
Silva, MF; Costa, RP; Oliveira, CM; Moreira, SIntroduction: Urinary incontinence affects up to one third of women in Portugal. Exercise can be a precipitating/aggravating factor but also protective, if appropriate. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence in women who practice recreational exercise, to assess its relationship with the type of exercise and other coexisting risk factors, and assess whether the topic is ad...
Diagnosis, treatment, and work impact of iron deficiency anemia in a Portuguese...
Norton, P; Araújo, N; Pinho, P; Costa Gomes, J; Silva, C; Gama, C; Barbosa, M; Ferreira, P; Cunha, S; Moreira, S; Martins, S; Faria, S; Sousa, SIntroduction: Little is known about iron deficiency anemia (IDA)'s treatment in Portugal. We aim to estimate the proportion of anemia, IDA, and iron deficiency without anemia; characterize the diagnostic procedures and prescription patterns; assess anemia's impact over work absenteeism, in a Local Health Unit. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study that evaluated complete blood counts, iron-containing pres...
Tracking Cognitive Performance in the General Population and in Patients with M...
Ruano, L; Severo, M; Sousa, A; Ruano, C; Branco, M; Barreto, R; Moreira, S; Araújo, N; Pinto, P; Pais, J; Lunet, N; Cruz, VTRepeated measurements could be helpful to identify patients with early cognitive decline. We compare the variation of cognitive performance over one year in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and healthy individuals using the Brain on Track self-applied computerized test (BoT). The study was initiated 30 patients with probable MCI and 377 controls from a population-based cohort, who performed the BoT...
Prevalence and Causes of Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in a Population-Base...
Ruano, L; Araújo, N; Branco, M; Barreto, R; Moreira, S; Pais, R; Cruz, VT; Lunet, N; Barros, HBackground: Vascular disease may play an important role in the epidemiology of dementia in countries with high stroke incidence, such as Portugal. Objective: To assess the prevalence and etiology of cognitive impairment in a population-based cohort from Portugal. Methods: Individuals ≥55 years (n = 730) from the EPIPorto cohort were assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination and the Montreal Cognitive Ass...
PP1-Mediated Dephosphorylation of Lgl Controls Apical-basal Polarity
Moreira, S; Osswald, M; Ventura, G; Gonçalves, M; Sunkel, CE; Morais-de-Sá, EApical-basal polarity is a common trait that underlies epithelial function. Although the asymmetric distribution of cortical polarity proteins works in a functioning equilibrium, it also retains plasticity to accommodate cell division, during which the basolateral determinant Lgl is released from the cortex. Here, we investigated how Lgl restores its cortical localization to maintain the integrity of dividing e...
Spatiotemporal phosphoregulation of Lgl: Finding meaning in multiple on/off but...
Moreira, S; Morais-de-Sá, EIntracellular asymmetries, often termed cell polarity, determine how cells organize and divide to ultimately control cell fate and shape animal tissues. The tumor suppressor Lethal giant larvae (Lgl) functions at the core of the evolutionarily conserved cell polarity machinery that controls apico-basal polarization. This function relies on its restricted basolateral localization via phosphorylation by aPKC. Her...
Development of a self-administered web-based test for longitudinal cognitive as...
Ruano, L; Sousa, A; Severo, M; Alves, I; Colunas, M; Barreto, R; Mateus, C; Moreira, S; Conde, E; Bento, V; Lunet, N; Pais, J; Tedim Cruz, VSequential testing with brief cognitive tools has been recommended to improve cognitive screening and monitoring, however the few available tools still depend on an external evaluator and periodic visits. We developed a self-administered computerized test intended for longitudinal cognitive testing (Brain on Track). The test can be performed from a home computer and is composed of several subtests, expected to ...
