The Relevance of the Technical Error of Measurement in Anthropometry: A Pilot S...

<jats:p>Introduction. Anthropometry plays a crucial role in nutritional assessment, especially in clinical and research settings where lack of precision affects data reliability and patient care. However, the accuracy of these measurements is often overlooked when assessing nutritional status and health risks. This study aimed to assess the technical error of measurement (TEM) and evaluate the intra- and inter-...

Real-world safety data of first-line drugs for rheumatoid arthritis

Objectives: To assess adverse events (AE) associated with first-line therapies for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a real-world setting. Material and Methods: Retrospective multicenter cohort study of patients fulfilling classification criteria for RA and followed up in 66 rheumatology centers from the Rheumatic Diseases Portuguese Registry (Reuma.pt). All AE reports associated with first-line disease-modifying an...

The Planetary Health Diet and Its Association with Asthma and Airway Inflammati...

<jats:p>Poor dietary choices have been rising concurrently with an increase in asthma prevalence, especially in children. Dietary indexes that simultaneously measure the healthiness and sustainability of dietary patterns have emerged to address the dual concerns of human and planetary health. Accordingly, we aimed to evaluate adherence to a sustainable dietary pattern and its impact on airway inflammation and a...

Dynamics of CO2, CH4, and N2O in Ria Formosa coastal lagoon (southwestern Iberi...

A first characterization of greenhouse gases had been carried out to study their role and impact in a productive transitional coastal system of the southern Portugal – Ria Formosa lagoon. To this purpose, the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and the concentration of dissolved CH4 and N2O have been measured. Two surveys were carried out during 2020, at low tide under typical conditions of Spring (March) and end of...

From art to insight: The role of a creative arts therapies group workshop on co...

This study examined the effects of a three-hour Creative Arts Therapies (CATs) group workshop on perceived well-being, self-awareness, and loneliness among college students. Using a within-subjects design, participants completed surveys before and after the workshop and during a follow-up phase. Each workshop, facilitated by two certified art therapists, involved groups of 5 to 13 students. The workshops includ...

Food Insecurity and Nutritional Inadequacy in Children and Adolescents of Basic...

Food insecurity (FI) is a critical socioeconomic and public health problem globally, particularly affecting children's nutritional status and development. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of nutritional inadequacy among children and adolescents in the Cantagalo district of S & atilde;o Tom & eacute; and Pr & iacute;ncipe (STP), in Central Africa. It also assessed their households' FI si...

Ultra-Processed Foods and Nutritional Intake of Children and Adolescents from C...

Background: Globally, dietary patterns are shifting toward an increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, raising the risk of some metabolic and nutritional diseases from a young age. This trend is now also affecting low- and middle-income countries. Considering this, we aimed to assess the contribution of ultra-processed foods to total energy intake and their association with the nutritional intake of chil...

EOG measurement analysis under different lighting conditions

Exposure to different wavelengths of light has been demonstrated to have an impact on the body's physiological processes. This work tests such influence in electrooculograms (EOGs). An analysis associated with the recording of the EOG of six healthy volunteers under five different light conditions is presented. Natural light (at midday and in the afternoon), incandescent, fluorescent, and LED artificial light c...
