Assessing fear of cancer recurrence among adolescents and young adults: The Por...
Neves, M; Sales, C. M. D; Oliveira, J.; Prins, J. B; Monteiro, S.; Bártolo, AnaIntroduction: Adolescents and young adults with cancer experience high levels of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), negatively impacting their lives. However, no measure has been validated worldwide to assess FCR levels among these young people. This study aims to validate the FCR7, a scale that measures FCR, for the Portuguese population of adolescents and young adults. Methods: Ninety-two participants were recr...
Major Determinants of Primary Non Function From Kidney Donation After Maastrich...
Gaspar, A; Gama, M; Nobre de Jesus, G; Querido, S; Damas, J; Oliveira, J; Neves, M; Santana, A; Ribeiro, JMPurpose: Organ shortage greatly limits treatment of patients with end-stage chronic kidney. Maastricht type 2 donation after circulatory death (DCD) has been shown to have similar results in long term outcomes in kidney transplantation, when compared with brain dead donation. Our main goal was to assess Maastricht type 2 DCD and evaluate factors that impact on early graft function. Methods: A retrospective stud...
Tumor-Infiltrating T Cells in Skin Basal Cell Carcinomas and Squamous Cell Carc...
Cunha, D; Neves, M; Silva, D; Silvestre, AR; Nunes, PB; Arrobas, F; Ribot, JC; Ferreira, F; Moita, LF; Soares-de-Almeida, L; Silva, JM; Filipe, PBasal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are high-incidence, non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs). The success of immune-targeted therapies in advanced NMSCs led us to anticipate that NMSCs harbored significant populations of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes with potential anti-tumor activity. The main aim of this study was to characterize T cells infiltrating NMSCs. Flow cytometry and immuno...
Portuguese Football Federation consensus statement 2020: nutrition and performa...
Abreu, R; Figueiredo, P; Beckert, P; Marques, JP; Amorim, S; Caetano, C; Carvalho, P; Sa, C; Cotovio, R; Cruz, J; Dias, T; Fernandes, G; Goncalves, ENutrition is an undeniable part of promoting health and performance among football (soccer) players. Nevertheless, nutritional strategies adopted in elite football can vary significantly depending on culture, habit and practical constraints and might not always be supported by scientific evidence. Therefore, a group of 28 Portuguese experts on sports nutrition, sports science and sports medicine sought to discu...
Overactive bladder symptom bother and health-related quality of life in patient...
Silva, R; Romão, V; Neves, M; Garcia, R; Oliveira, S; Brites, J, et al.The objective of this paper is to assess overactive bladder (OAB) symptom bother (SB) and health-related quality of life (HRQL) among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS). METHODS: We recruited adult SLE and pSS patients and two groups of age- and sex-matched controls. We applied the OAB questionnaire-short form (OABq-SF) to all participants to assess SB and HRQL a...

Stepwise strategy to improve cervical cancer screening adherence (SCAN-Cervical...
Firmino-Machado, J; Varela, S; Mendes, R; Moreira, A; Lunet, N; Carmo, A; Cancela, A; Firmino, A; Ramos, A; Teixeira, A; Vieira, A; Badim, B; Tojal, CThe aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of invitation to cervical cancer screening through a very low-cost strategy based on automated and customized text messages, phone calls and reminders. A randomized (1:1) controlled trial was conducted among 13 Portuguese primary care units, recruiting women aged 25 to 49 years, eligible for cervical cancer screening, with an available mobile phone number. In ...
Lenalidomide is effective and safe for the treatment of patients with relapsed ...
João, C; Freitas, J; Gomes, F; Geraldes, C; Coelho, I; Neves, M; Lúcio, P; Esteves, S; Esteves, GPatients with multiple myeloma (MM) and severe renal impairment (SRI) have shorter survival than MM patients without renal failure. Although lenalidomide is a highly active drug, this immunomodulatory agent is frequently neglected in this context due to its predominant renal clearance and, consequently, an increased risk of toxicity. This risk might be overcome with the proper lenalidomide dose adjustment to re...
Mechanisms of cisplatin resistance and targeting of cancer stem cells: Adding g...
Ferreira, JA; Peixoto, A; Neves, M; Gaiteiro, C; Reis, CA; Assaraf, Y; Santos, LCisplatin-based chemotherapeutic regimens are the most frequently used (neo)adjuvant treatments for the majority of solid tumors. While platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimens have proven effective against highly proliferative malignant tumors, significant relapse and progression rates as well as decreased overall survival are still observed. Currently, it is known that sub-populations of chemoresistant cells ...
