Materials and methods: The study was carried out in two phases. In the first phase, the MSK-HQ was translated and culturally adapted. In the second phase, a longitudinal observational study was carried out with a convenience sample of ...
The European Portuguese Version of the Brief Negative Symptom Scale
Santos, HC; Rodrigues, A; Ferreira, S; Martins, JM; Baptista, T; Gama Marques, J; Kirkpatrick, B; Prata, DNegative symptoms reflect a currently much-untreated loss of normal functioning and are frequently found in psychotic disorders. We present the first translation of the Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS) to European Portuguese and evaluate its validity in a sample of Portuguese male patients with a psychotic spectrum disorder. The Portuguese BNSS showed excellent internal consistency, high convergent validity ...
New Insights into pH-dependent Complex Formation between Lignosulfonates and An...
Pereira, AR; Bravo, C; Ramos, RM; Carina Costa; Rodrigues, A; de Freitas, V; Mateus, N; Dias, R; Soares, S; Joana OliveiraAnthocyanins have limited application as natural colorants and antioxidants due to their color loss and instability under certain conditions. This research explores the formation of a complex between lignosulfonates (LS) and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) using a multitechnique approach as well as the effect on C3G ' s red color, oxidative stability, and antioxidant activity in acidic mediums. All data revealed p...
Pre-eclampsia as a predictor of early-onset cardiovascular impairment among you...
Turé, R; Damasceno, A; Rodrigues, A; Barai, E; Cissé, A; Sanca, G; Iafa, T; Jalo, W; Embalo, B; Dju, M; Iala, V; Lunet, N" Introduction: Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy-related complication estimated to affect up to 8% of pregnancies worldwide. It is associated with an increased risk of postpartum sustained hypertension, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease and cardiovascular-related mortality. Nevertheless, these associations have seldom been addressed in younger women from sub-Saharan Afric...
Fly and Treat: Endovascular Treatment of Ruptured Aneurysms at an Insular Terti...
Almeida Xavier, S; Rodrigues, A; Meira, T; Mota Dória, H; Figueira, C; Amorim, J; Pestana, R; Nobrega, J; Franco, J; Carneiro, A(Objectives) Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a life-threatening condition associated with poor outcomes. Early intervention is critical, particularly in low-volume hospitals, which are advised to transfer aSAH patients to high-volume centers. This study examines a novel protocol implemented in 2016 at Região Autónoma da Madeira, a Portuguese island. It involves the mobilization of experienced neuro...
Exploring the Potential of Vine Shoots as a Source of Valuable Extracts and Sta...
Pereira, AR; Carina Costa; Nuno Mateus; Victor de Freitas; Rodrigues, A; Joana OliveiraLarge amounts of vine shoots are generated every year during vine pruning. This residue still presents many of the compounds found in the original plant, including low molecular weight phenolic compounds and structural compounds such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. For wine-producing regions, the challenge is to develop alternatives that will increase the value of this residue. This work proposes the f...
Renal Dysfunction Phenotypes in Patients Undergoing Obesity Surgery
Pereira, PR; Pereira, J; Braga, PC; Pereira, SS; Nora, M; Guimaraes, M; Monteiro, MP; Rodrigues, AObesity surgery candidates are at an increased risk of kidney injury, but pre-operative evaluation usually neglects kidney function assessment. This study aimed to identify renal dysfunction in candidates for bariatric surgery. To reduce the sources of bias, subjects with diabetes, prediabetes under metformin treatment, neoplastic or inflammatory diseases were excluded. Patients' (n = 192) average body mass ind...
Portuguese Recommendations for the Use of Biological and Targeted Synthetic Dis...
Fernandes, BM; Guimarães, F; Almeida, DE; Neto, A; Tavares-Costa, J; Roxo Ribeiro, A; Quintal, A; Pereira, JP; Silva, L; Nóvoa, TS; Faustino, A; Vaz, CObjective: To update the recommendations for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with biological and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs and tsDMARDs), endorsed by the Portuguese Society of Rheumatology (SPR). Methods: These treatment recommendations were formulated by Portuguese rheumatologists taking into account previous recommendations, new literature evidence and consen...
Neuropathology of central nervous system involvement in TTR amyloidosis
Taipa, R; Sousa, L; Pinto, M; Reis, I; Rodrigues, A; Oliveira, P; Melo-Pires, M; Coelho, THereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) is a systemic disease caused by the accumulation of misfolded transthyretin (TTR). It usually presents with an adult-onset progressive axonal peripheral neuropathy and cardiomyopathy. In the central nervous system (CNS), variant TTR is produced by the choroid plexus and accumulates in the leptomeninges. CNS symptoms have been increasingly recognized in this populatio...
