Training exercises, match demands, and variability in elite futsal
Ribeiro, J; Ferraz, A; Gonçalves, Bruno; Serrano, C; Coutinho, D; Ballester, R; Travassos, BIntroduction: Understanding the physical demands of different training exercises is crucial for optimizing athlete performance. This study aims to compare high-intensity activities across different training exercises and official match-play scenarios. The analysis focuses on performance variations across training exercises and the variability observed within each format. Methods: An observational study was cond...
Epidemiology and Burden of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia among Adult Intensiv...
Mergulhão, P; Pereira, JG; Fernandes, AV; Krystopchuk, A; Ribeiro, J; Miranda, D; Castro, H; Eira, C; Morais, J; Lameirão, C; Gomes, S; Leal, DVentilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a prevailing nosocomial infection in critically ill patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (iMV). The impact of VAP is profound, adversely affecting patient outcomes and placing a significant burden on healthcare resources. This study assessed for the first time the contemporary VAP epidemiology in Portugal and its burden on the healthcare system and clinical...
When the Stomach Takes a Vacation: The Unseen Battles of Gastroparesis
Sousa, B; Rodrigues, T; Ribeiro, JGastroparesis is a syndrome characterised by delayed gastric emptying that is usually idiopathic, diabetic, or iatrogenic. This underdiagnosed disease has a substantial influence on the quality of life of its patients. We present the case of an 86-year-old man with dementia, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and gastroesophageal reflux disease who developed symptoms of gastroparesis during a lengthy hospital stay. ...
Rapid light carbon releases and increased aridity linked to Karoo–Ferrar magmat...
Font, E; Duarte, L; Dekkers, M; Remazeilles, C; Egli, R; Spangenberg, J; Fantasia, A; Ribeiro, J; Gomes, E; Mirão, J; AdatteT, TLarge-scale release of isotopically light carbon is responsible for the carbon isotope excursion (CIE) of the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event during the Lower Jurassic. Proposed sources include methane hydrate dissociation, volcanogenic outgassing of carbon dioxide and/or thermogenic methane release from the Karoo‐Ferrar magmatic province (southern Africa). Distinct small-scale shifts superimposed on the long-ter...
The ancestry of eastern paraguay: A typical south american profile with a uniqu...
Simão, F; Ribeiro, J; Vullo, C; Catelli, L; Gomes, V; Xavier, C; Huber, G; Bodner, M; Quiroz, A; Ferreira, AP; Carvalho, EF; Parson, W; Gusmão, LImmigrants from diverse origins have arrived in Paraguay and produced important demographic changes in a territory initially inhabited by indigenous Guarani. Few studies have been performed to estimate the proportion of Native ancestry that is still preserved in Paraguay and the role of females and males in admixture processes. Therefore, 548 individuals from eastern Paraguay were genotyped for three marker set...
Abordagem perioperatória de grávida com angioedema hereditário submetida a cesa...
Estevens, TM; Serrano, A; Amaro, S; Ribeiro, JO angioedema hereditário é uma doenc¸a autossômica dominante, que se manifesta por crises súbitas, recorrentes e de gravidade variável de edema subcutâneo e submucoso, que podem ocorrer espontaneamente ou em resposta a gatilhos. São conhecidos três tipos de angioedema hereditário. A doenc¸a é condicionada por diminuic¸ão do nível plasmático ou alterac¸ão da capacidade funcional do inibidor de C1, com aumento da...
Peri-operative management of a pregnant patient with hereditary angioedema subm...
Nunes-Estevens, TM; Serrano, A; Amaro, S; Ribeiro, JHereditary angioedema is an autosomal dominant disorder, presenting as sudden and recurring episodes of variable severity of subcutaneous and mucosa edema that may occur spontaneously or in response to triggers. There are three knwon types of hereditary angioedema. The disorder is caused by decrease in the plasma level or change in the functional capacity of C1 inhibitor, with increase in bradykinin and in vasc...
2 February 1816, an Overlooked North Atlantic M 8 Earthquake
Ribeiro, J; Correia, A; Ribeiro, AIThe 2 February 1816 North Atlantic earthquake is virtually unknown to the international scientific community, and the few existing studies—solely based on two or three macroseismic intensities—pointed to a magnitude near 7 and a location at the eastern end of the Gloria fault in the Azores‐Gibraltar Fracture Zone (AGFZ). Through careful search, we discovered more than 40 independent macroseismic observations an...
Role of Spinal Cord α 2-Adrenoreceptors in Noradrenergic Inhibition of Nocicept...
Costa-Pereira, JT; Ribeiro, J; Martins, I; Tavares, IChemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a problem during cancer treatment and for cancer survivors but the central mechanisms underlying CIPN remain understudied. This study aims to determine if CIPN is associated with alterations of noradrenergic modulation of nociceptive transmission at the spinal cord. CIPN was induced in male Wistar rats by paclitaxel injections. One month after CIPN induction,...
Outcomes of Long Pouch Gastric Bypass (LPGB): 4-Year Experience in Primary and ...
Ribeiro, R; Pouwels, S; Parmar, C; Pereira, J; Manaças, L; Guerra, AC; Borges, N; Ribeiro, J; Viveiros, OBackground: One of the most important complications of the one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is enterobilio acid reflux (EBAR). We report the concept of the long pouch Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LPRYGB) meaning a Roux-en-Y with a long pouch and a 100-cm alimentary limb to avoid EBAR, with a long biliopancreatic limb to increase metabolic effects. Methods: A total of 300 LPRYGB cases in a 4-year period, with ...
