Effects of Exercise on the Skin Epithelial Barrier of Young Elite Athletes-Swim...
Paciencia, I; Rodolfo, A; Leao, L; Silva, D; Rufo, JC; Mendes, F; Padrão, Patrícia; Moreira, Pedro; Boechat, JL; Delgado, L; Moreira, AndréThe benefits of swimming have been extensively assessed. However, swimming pools contain chlorine and other irritating chemicals that may induce contact dermatitis. To evaluate the effect of a swimming training session on transepidermal water loss (TWEL) in swimmers compared to football players, elite swimmers and football players were invited to participate (58 athletes) in the study, where TEWL was measured b...
Human volatilome analysis using eNose to assess uncontrolled asthma in a clinic...
Farraia, M; Cavaleiro Rufo, J; Paciência, I; Castro, Mendes, F; Rodolfo, A; Rama, T; Rocha, SM; Delgado, L; Brinkman, P; Moreira, ABackground Analyses of exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have shown promising results when distinguishing individuals with asthma. Currently, there are no biomarkers for uncontrolled asthma. Therefore, we aimed to assess, in a real-life clinical setting, the ability of the exhaled VOC analysis, using an electronic nose (eNose), to identify individuals with uncontrolled asthma. Methods A cross-sectional ...
Exhaled breath condensate volatilome allows sensitive diagnosis of persistent a...
Cavaleiro Rufo, J; Paciência, I; Mendes, FC; Farraia, M; Rodolfo, A; Silva, D; de Oliveira Fernandes, E; Delgado, L; Moreira, ABackground The diagnosis and phenotyping of paediatric asthma are particularly complex due to the lack of currently available sensitive diagnostic tools. This often results in uncertainties associated with inhaled steroid therapy prescription. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether volatile organic compounds measured in exhaled breath condensate can be used as biomarkers for asthma diagnosis in the ...
The effect of inspiratory muscle training on swimming performance, inspiratory ...
Cunha, M; Mendes, F; Paciência, I; Rodolfo, A; Carneiro-Leão, L; Rama, T; Rufo, J; Delgado, L; Moreira, ABackground: According to studies performed on terrestrial sports athletes, inspiratory muscle training (IMT) may improve athletes’ performance. However, evidence of its effects in elite swimmers is lacking. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effect of 12-week IMT on swimming performance, inspiratory muscle strength, lung function, and perceived breathlessness in elite swimmers. Methods: Elite swimmers from the m...
School environment associates with lung function and autonomic nervous system a...
Paciencia, I; Rufo, JC; Silva, D; Martins, C; Mendes, F; Rama, T; Rodolfo, A; Madureira, J; Delgado, L; Fernandes, ED; Padrão, Patrícia; Moreira, PedroChildren are in contact with local environments, which may affect respiratory symptoms and allergic sensitization. We aimed to assess the effect of the environment and the walkability surrounding schools on lung function, airway inflammation and autonomic nervous system activity. Data on 701 children from 20 primary schools were analysed. Lung function, airway inflammation and pH from exhaled breath condensate ...
