Several studies have demonstrated the influence of the deliv- ery mode and breastfeeding on the oral microbiome of chil-dren, mostly regarding bacterial colonization. However, their influence on the oral fungal carriage is still under ...
Potential Pathogenic and Opportunistic Oral Bacteria in Early Life: The Role of...
Fernandes, M; Azevedo, MJ; Campos, C; Ferreira, AF; Azevedo, A; Falcão-Pires, I; Zaura, E; Ramalho, C; Campos, J; Sampaio-Maia, BIn early life, maternal factors are of the utmost relevance for oral microbiome acquisition and maturation. Therefore, our study explored the impact of maternal factors, such as saliva and breastmilk colonization, cardiovascular risk factors (CRF), type of delivery, oral health, and caregiving habits on the prevalence of potential pathogenic and opportunistic oral bacteria in early life. A total of 26 healthy m...

Ferreira, P; Pinheiro, C; Matta Coelho, C; Guimarães, J; Pereira, G; Xavier Moreira, N; Cortez, A; Bracchi, I; Pestana, D; Barreiros Mota, I; Prucha, CThe role of milk and dairy products in supplying iodine to pregnant women is unknown in Portugal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between milk and dairy product consumption and the iodine status of pregnant women in the IoMum cohort of the Oporto region. Pregnant women were recruited between 10 and 13 weeks of gestation, when they provided a spot urine sample and information on lifestyle a...
Iodine knowledge is associated with iodine status in Portuguese pregnant women:...
Pinheiro, C; Xavier, Moreira, N; Ferreira, P; Matta, Coelho, C; Guimarães, J; Pereira, G; Cortez, A; Bracchi, I; Pestana, D; Barreiros, Mota, ILack of knowledge about iodine has been suggested as a risk factor for iodine deficiency in pregnant women, but no studies have addressed this issue in Portugal. So, the aim of this study was to investigate iodine knowledge among Portuguese pregnant women and its association with iodine status. IoMum, a prospective observational study, included 485 pregnant women recruited at Centro Hospitalar e Universitário d...
