Sousa, Helena; Ribeiro, Oscar; Bártolo, Ana; Rodrigues, Mário; Costa, Elísio; Quental, Joana; Ribeiro, Fernando; Paúl, Constança; Figueiredo, DanielaBackground The ‘Connected We St@nd’ programme is an Internet-mediated self-management intervention that combines health education with psychosocial support, with evidenced feasibility and acceptability in haemodialysis. Objectives To evaluate the clinical relevance of the programme and to better understand which intervention outcomes/health-related self-report measures are most sensitive to reflect changes betw...
Effects of exercise prehabilitation on functional capacity and health-related q...
Garcia, Catarina; Leão, Inês; Pinto, Diogo; Dias Rato, Nuno; Campolargo, Ana; Dias, Isabel; Monteiro, Ana Raquel; Monteiro Soares, AdrianaHead and neck cancer (HNC) patients submitted to radical chemoradiotherapy (CRT) have to deal with various physical and psychosocial problems related to cancer and its treatment, which negatively affect functional capacity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Thus, the aim of this work was to analyse the impact of an exercise prehabilitation (EP) program on the functional capacity and HRQoL in HNC patien...
Migrate DSpace from 5x to 7x - How do we did it in our national open access ser...
Graça, Paulo; Ribeiro, Fernando; Truta, Raquel; Saraiva, Ricardo; Lopes, Paulo SimõesThe RCAAP network, crucial for promoting Open Science in Portugal, includes the Institutional Repository Hosting Service (SARI), which hosts 28 repositories. Facing the challenge of migrating from DSpace 5.x to DSpace 7.x, the process unfolded in phases. The creation of DSpace 7++, incorporating additional integrations, marked the initial step. A pilot project involving two institutions refined the migration pr...
Home- versus centre-based EXercise InTervention in patients with Heart Failure ...
Schmidt, Cristine; Magalhães, Sandra; Gois Basilio, Priscilla; Gouveia, Marisol; Teixeira, Manuel; Espírito Santo, Cláudio; Tavares, Aida IsabelIntroduction: The limited accessibility and the lack of adherence explain, in part, the low proportion of heart failure (HF) patients undergoing exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs. Home-based programs showed to be as effective and less costly than centre-based ones and might address those obstacles. Whether the evidence from international studies can be applied to our population is still unclea...

Effect of Kinesio® taping on static and dynamic balance after anterior cruciate...
Sousa, João; Ribeiro, Fernando; Lopes, Mário; Gonçalves, Rui Soles; Torres, RuiAnterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is one of the most common knee injuries among athletes (Evans and Nielson, 2022). ACL reconstruction is, in general, the solution for the rupture of ACL; the torn ligament is replaced with a tissue graft from another surrounding functional structure of the knee (Rochmania et al., 2012). The functional changes that occur after ACL reconstruction comprise deficits of muscl...

Lopes, Paulo; Graça, Paulo; Laranjeira, Cátia; Ribeiro, Fernando; Truta, Raquel; Saraiva, RicardoA rede de repositórios RCAAP é uma infraestrutura crucial para a promoção da Ciência Aberta em Portugal. Esta infraestrutura incluí um serviço de alojamento de repositórios institucionais (SARI) que aloja 28 repositórios. Com o desenvolvimento e disponibilização da versão 7 do software para repositórios (DSpace) e o fim anunciado do suporte para as versões anteriores, a equipa RCAAP cedo iniciou um plano para a...
Maximal Exercise Improves the Levels of Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Heart F...
Cavalcante, Suiane; Viamonte, Sofia; Cadilha, Rui S.; Ribeiro, Ilda P.; Gonçalves, Ana Cristina; Sousa-Venâncio, João; Gouveia, MarisolThe impact of exercise on the levels of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), a marker of endothelial repair and angiogenesis, and circulating endothelial cells (CECs), an indicator of endothelial damage, in heart failure patients is largely unknown. This study aims to evaluate the effects of a single exercise bout on the circulating levels of EPCs and CECs in heart failure patients. Thirteen patients with heart...
Manual but not instrument-assisted cervical manipulation reduces pain and disab...
Nogueira, Nuno; Oliveira-Campelo, Natália; Torres, Rui; Sousa, Andreia S. P.; Ribeiro, FernandoThere is limited evidence comparing the effects of manual and instrumented-assisted manipulations among adults with neck pain. Our purpose was to determine the effects of a multisession regime of manual and instrument-assisted cervical manipulation on pain, disability, perception of change, and muscle properties in subjects with nonspecific neck pain. We conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled ...
