Molecularly imprinted polymer-based sensor for the determination of 2,4-dinitro...
Torre, Ricarda; Rebelo, Patrícia; Seguro, Isabel; Pacheco, João G.; Amaral, Joana S.; Nouws, Henri P.A.; Delerue-Matos, CristinaThe rising demand for weight-loss solutions, driven by obesity concerns and societal pressure, has led to an increasing growth in both the consumption and market of food supplements. However, several studies have identified food supplements as common targets of economically motivated adulteration by the addition of pharmaceutical drugs to enhance the product's effects. Despite its toxicity and associated health...
Effects of ActiGraph's filter, epoch length and non-wearing time algorithm on s...
Antão, Joana; Rebelo, Patrícia; Almeida, Sara; Franssen, Frits M. E.; Spruit, Martijn A.; Marques, AldaThe influence of the ActiGraph® processing criteria on estimating step counts in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the influence of filters, epoch lengths and non-wearing time (NWT) algorithms on steps/day in people with COPD. ActiGraph GT3X+ was worn on the waist for seven days. Steps were detected using different filters (normal and low-frequency extens...
Functional capacity using sit-to-stand tests in people with chronic obstructive...
Machado, Ana; Dias, Cíntia; Rebelo, Patrícia; Souto-Miranda, Sara; Mendes, Maria Aurora; Ferreira, Diva; Martins, Vitória; Simão, Paula; Burtin, ChrisBackground Functional capacity impairment is a crucial consequence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although it can be identified with simple tests, such as the sit-to-stand tests, its prevalence, relation with disease severity, and the characteristics of people presenting this impairment remain unknown. Objective To explore the functional capacity of people with COPD. Methods A cross-sectional ...
Effect of data reduction techniques on daily moderate to vigorous physical acti...
Rebelo, Patrícia; Antão, Joana; Brooks, Dina; Marques, AldaActiGraph® is a valid, frequently used, accelerometer to quantify moderate to vigorous physical activities (MVPA) in people with COPD. The impact of ActiGraph processing techniques on this population is unknown. This study aimed to explore the effect of data reduction techniques on MVPA in people with COPD. MVPA/day, through ActiGraph GT3X+, was estimated using: Troiano, Freedson 98 and FreedsonVM3 cutoffs, 15-...
Is improving physical activity after pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD left to c...
Antão, Joana; Rebelo, Patrícia; Franssen, Frits; Spruit, Martijn; Marques, AldaThe ability of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) to modify physical activity (PA) of COPD patients remains controversial. We assessed the impact of PR on PA and explored PA change according to the response in other PR outcomes in COPD patients. Exercise capacity (6MWT, 1minSTS), dyspnoea (mMRC), fatigue (FACIT-F), health-related quality of life (HRQoL, SGRQ), PA (steps/day and time spent in moderate to vigorous PA ...
Relationship between social support and COPD GOLD groups
Dias, Cíntia; Rebelo, Patrícia; Rodrigues, Guilherme; Grave, Ana Sofia; Mendes, Maria Aurora; Almeida, Sara; Freitas, Célia; Moreira, IsabelSocial isolation and debilitating symptoms are common in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although underexplored, a relationship between social support (SS) and health status might exist. This study explored the impact of COPD GOLD groups classification on SS. A cross-sectional study was conducted. GOLD groups were determined according to the COPD Assessment Test. SS was assessed with t...
Effects of Self-Management Interventions in People With Interstitial Lung Disease
Freitas dos Santos, Steve; Marques, Alda; Rebelo, Patrícia; Brooks, Dina; Benoit, Adam; Oliveira, AnaPeople with interstitial lung disease (ILD) want to actively manage their condition; however, the effects of self-management interventions (SMIs) in this population have not been synthesized. This review summarizes the effects of SMIs on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), functional status, psychological and social factors, symptoms, exacerbations, health care utilization, and survival in people with ILD. ...
