Methodological Choices on 24-h Movement Behavior Assessment by Accelerometry: A...
Rodrigues, B; Videira-Silva, A; Lopes, L; Sousa-Sá, E; Vale, S; Cliff, DP; Mendes, R; Santos, R" Background: There are no reviews describing current measurement protocols and accelerometer processing decisions that are being used in 24-h MovBeh studies, across the lifespan. We aim to synthesise information on methods for assessing 24-h movement behaviors using accelerometry across all age groups. Main body: PubMed, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, and EMBASE were searched until December 2022. Observational or inte...
Cumulus cell DNA damage linked to fertilization success in females with an ovul...
Rodrigues, B; Sousa, V; Esteves, F; Vale-Fernandes, E; Costa, S; Sousa, D; Brandão, R; Leal, C; Pires, J; Gaivão, I; Teixeira, JP; Nogueira, AJAIntracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a widely used technique in fertility centers. ICSI success depends on both nuclear and cytoplasmic oocyte maturation. Cumulus cells, which surround the oocytes, play a pivotal role in oocyte competence. However, the significance of DNA damage in cumulus cells as a marker of fertilization success remains largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate the relationshi...
24-hour Movement Questionnaire (QMov24h) for adults: development process and me...
Rodrigues, B; Júdice, PB; Marques, A; Carraça, EV; Lopes, L; Sousa-Sá, E; Encantado, J; Videira-Silva, A; Cliff, DP; Mendes, R; Santos, R"Background: Sleep, sedentary behaviour, and physical activity are essential components within the 24-hour time frame. Existing questionnaires used to measure these behaviours have insufficient measurement properties and are unsuitable for assessing compliance with the WHO Physical Activity and 24-hour Movement Guidelines. To describe the development process of the 24-hour Movement Questionnaire (QMov24h) and i...
Questionnaires Measuring 24-Hour Movement Behaviors in Childhood and Adolescenc...
Rodrigues, B; Encantado, J; Carraça, E; Martins, J; Marques, A; Lopes, L; Sousa-Sá, E; Cliff, D; Mendes, R; Santos, RBackground: We aim to systematically review the literature on measurement properties of self-and proxy-reported questionnaires measuring 24-hour movement behaviors in children and adolescents. Methods: PubMed, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, and EMBASE were searched until June 2021. Studies were included if the sample size for validity studies had 50 participants (minimum) and included, at least, both validity and test-...
Questionnaires measuring movement behaviours in adults and older adults: Conten...
Rodrigues, B; Encantado, J; Carraça, E; Sousa-Sá, E; Lopes, L; Cliff, D; Mendes, R; Silva, MN; Godinho, C; Santos, RBackground Sleep, sedentary behaviour and physical activity are constituent parts of a 24h period and there are several questionnaires to measure these movement behaviours, the objective was to systematically review the literature on content and measurement properties of self- and proxy-reported questionnaires measuring movement behaviours in adults and older adults. Methods The databases PubMed, CINAHL, PsycIN...
Strawberry Leaves Extract for Cosmetic Industry
Silva, AP; Rodrigues, B; Bonny, L; Manrique, Y.A.In 2020, Portugal had an average strawberry production of 10 thousand tons, and 15 % was considered strawberry plant residues. This work proposed a new product that uses the compounds extracted from the strawberry residues-stem and leaves, excluding the fruit-as an active ingredient for cosmetic application. Strawberry leaves were extracted with 50 % ethanol. This extract mainly consists of lactic acid, ascorbi...
Towards an in-depth understanding of physical activity and eating behaviours du...
Silva, MN; Gregório, Maria João; Santos, R; Marques, A; Rodrigues, B; Godinho, C; Silva, CS; Mendes, R; Graça, Pedro; Arriaga, M; Freitas, G<jats:p>Rapid worldwide decreases in physical activity (PA), an increase in sedentary behaviour (SB) and poorer dietary patterns have been reported during COVID-19 confinement periods. However, as national variability has been observed, this study sought to describe PA, SB and eating patterns, and to explore their gender as well as other socio-demographic correlates and how they interrelate in a representative ...
Pathophysiology of Blood–Brain Barrier Permeability Throughout the Different St...
Bernardo-Castro, S; Sousa, JA; Brás, A; Cecília, C; Rodrigues, B; Almendra, L; Machado, C; Santo, G; Silva, F; Ferreira, L; Santana, IThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a dynamic interface responsible for maintaining the central nervous system homeostasis. Its unique characteristics allow protecting the brain from unwanted compounds, but its impairment is involved in a vast number of pathological conditions. Disruption of the BBB and increase in its permeability are key in the development of several neurological diseases and have been extensive...
Importance of Cardiac Implantable Eletronic Devices in the Diagnosis of Sleep A...
Ribeiro, S; Bonito, L; Guimarães, MJ; Português, J; Rodrigues, B; Alves, A; Durães, C; Ferreira, D; Sanfins, V; Lourenço, AIntroduction: Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is a prevalent respiratory disease with marked expression in the population with cardiovascular disease. The diagnosis is based on polysomnography. In patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED), the prevalence of SAS may reach 60%. The objective of this study was to evaluate the value of DEC in the SAS screening. Methods: Prospective study that included ...
Blood Pressure Variability in Acute Ischemic Stroke: The Role of Early Recanali...
Martins, AI; Sargento-Freitas, J; Jesus-Ribeiro, J; Correia, I; Cardoso, L; Gomes, JP; Gonçalves, M; Costa, R; Silva, F; Galego, O; Nunes, CWe performed a retrospective study with the aim of investigating the association between blood pressure (BP) variability in the first 24 h after ischemic stroke and functional outcome, regarding arterial recanalization status. A total of 674 patients diagnosed with acute stroke and treated with revascularization therapies were enrolled. Systolic and diastolic BP values of the first 24 h after stroke were collec...
