Pinheiro, C; Silva, F; Rocha, I; Martins, C; Giesteira, L; Dias, B; Lucas, A; Alexandre, AM; Ferreira, C; Viegas, B; Bracchi, I; Guimarães, J; Amaro, J"Objectives: This study aimed to compare the anthropometry and body composition of vegetarian and omnivorous adults living in Portugal, while exploring nutritional and health parameters underlying observed differences. Methods: 425 omnivorous (OMNI), lacto-ovo-vegetarian (LOV), or vegan (VEG) healthy adults were recruited. Anthropometry was measured, and bioelectrical impedance analysis was performed. Participa...
Prescribing of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs to Patients with Diabetes ...
Bigotte Vieira, M; Neves, JS; Baptista, RB; Leitão, L; Viegas Dias, C; Vicente, R; Nascimento, N; Leite, CC; Rocha, I; Magriço, RINTRODUCTION: Portugal presents the highest incidence of stage 5 chronic kidney disease in Europe. It is speculated that a high consumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) may contribute to this high incidence. Our aim was to characterize the prescription of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to patients with diabetes mellitus in Portugal. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analyzed the national pres...

The Arterial Baroreflex Effectiveness Index in Risk Stratification of Chronic H...
Serôdio, JF; Oliveira, MM; Laranjo, S; Tavares, C; Cunha, PS; Abreu, A; Branco, LM; Alves, S; Rocha, I; Cruz Ferreira, RINTRODUCTION: Baroreflex function is an independent marker of prognosis in heart failure (HF). However, little is known about its relation to response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The aim of this study is to assess arterial baroreflex function in HF patients who are candidates for CRT. METHODS: The study population consisted of 25 patients with indication for CRT, aged 65±10 years, NYHA functiona...
Accuracy of prenatal culture in predicting intrapartum group B streptococcus co...
Florindo, C; Damião, V; Lima, J; Nogueira, I; Rocha, I; Caetano, P; Ribeiro, L; Viegas, S; Gomes, J; Borrego, MJOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the positive predictive value (PPV) of group B Streptococcus (GBS) cultures at 35-37 weeks of gestation relative to GBS colonization status at delivery. METHODS: Rectovaginal swabs from 221 women at labor in four Lisbon hospitals were collected for GBS screening according to the CDC guidelines. RESULTS: The PPV was 24.4%. IAP was administered to 100% of prenatally GBS positive women. Ther...

O Treino de Ortostatismo (Tilt Training) Aumenta a Reserva Vasoconstritora em D...
Laranjo, S; Oliveira, MM; Tavares, C; Geraldes, V; Santos, S; Oliveira, E; Cruz Ferreira, R; Rocha, IA síncope neurocardiogénica (SNc) é uma entidade clínica comum, resultante de uma resposta autonómica reflexa excessiva durante o stress ortostático. As diferentes opções terapêuticas são controversas e de eficácia limitada. O treino de ortostatismo (TTr) tem-se mostrado uma alternativa prometedora no tratamento destes doentes (D). No entanto, permanece por esclarecer o seu mecanismo de acção e o impacto clínic...
Tilt Training Increases Vasoconstrictor Reserve in Patients with Neurocardiogen...
Laranjo, S; Oliveira, MM; Tavares, C; Geraldes, V; Santos, S; Oliveira, E; Cruz Ferreira, R; Rocha, INeurocardiogenic syncope (NCS) is a common clinical entity resulting from an excessive reflex autonomic response, particularly during orthostatism. Treatment options are controversial and of limited effectiveness. Tilt training (TT) is a promising option to treat these patients. However, its mechanism of action and clinical impact remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To characterize hemodynamic and autonomic responses du...
Modulação Eletrofisiológica das Aurículas e Veias Pulmonares: Interação da Esti...
Oliveira, MM; Postolache, G; Geraldes, V; Silva, V; Laranjo, S; Tavares, C; Nogueira da Silva, M; Cruz Ferreira, R; Rocha, IA influência do sistema nervoso autónomo (SNA) na génese da fibrilhac¸ão auricular (FA) envolve múltiplos mecanismos complexos com impacto nas propriedades eletrofisiológicas cardíacas. A importância dos efeitos da estimulac¸ão autonómica no substrato elétrico auricular e das veias pulmonares (VP) e na vulnerabilidade para FA requer melhor compreensão. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos da estimulac¸ão vagal (estim v...
