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...
World Heart Federation Cholesterol Roadmap: The Portuguese case
Abreu, A; Dores, H; Gonçalves, L; Franco, F; Silveira, C; Proença, G; Teresa Timóteo, A; Cardim, N; Pedro, M; Fiuza, M; Ferreira, D; Bento, LAtherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains the major cause of premature death and disability; effective cardiovascular (CV) risk prevention is fundamental. The World Heart Federation (WHF) Cholesterol Roadmap provides a framework for national policy development and aims to achieve ASCVD prevention. At the invitation of the WHF, a group of experts from the Portuguese Society of Cardiology (SPC), addr...
Fostering the Ecosystem of Open Neural Encoders for Portuguese with Albertina P...
Santos, R; Rodrigues, J; Gomes, L; Silva, J; Branco, A; Henrique Lopes Cardoso; Osório, TF; Leite, BTo foster the neural encoding of Portuguese, this paper contributes foundation encoder models that represent an expansion of the still very scarce ecosystem of large language models specifically developed for this language that are fully open, in the sense that they are open source and openly distributed for free under an open license for any purpose, thus including research and commercial usages. Like most lan...
Recommendations for the implementation of a national lung cancer screening prog...
Fernandes, MGO; Dias, M; Santos, R; Ravara, S; Fernandes, P; Firmino-Machado, J; Antunes, JP; Fernandes, O; Madureira, A; Hespanhol, V; Rodrigues, CLung cancer (LC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) programs that use low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) have been shown to reduce LC mortality by up to 25 % and are considered cost-effective. The European Health Union has encouraged its Member States to explore the feasibility of LCS implementation in their respective countries. The task force conducted a com...
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...
Systematic review of mediterranean diet interventions in menopausal women
Gonçalves, C; Moreira, H; Santos, RThe increasing lifespan of women and their extended time spent in menopause pose significant challenges for health care systems, primarily due to the impacts of postmenopausal estrogen deficiency and aging on health. Menopause’s onset is linked to a heightened prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. Diet is particularly relevant during menopause given its impact on q...
Worldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: A pooled analysi...
Robinson, L; Roccaldo, R; Rodrigues, D; Rodriguez Perez, MdC; Rodríguez Villamizar, LA; Rodríguez, AY; Roggenbuck, U; Rohloff, P; Rohner, FBackground: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories. Methods: We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that...
PORTULAN ExtraGLUE Datasets and Models: Kick-starting a Benchmark for the Neura...
Osório, TF; Leite, B; Henrique Lopes Cardoso; Gomes, L; Rodrigues, J; Santos, R; Branco, ALeveraging research on the neural modelling of Portuguese, we contribute a collection of datasets for an array of language processing tasks and a corresponding collection of fine-tuned neural language models on these downstream tasks. To align with mainstream benchmarks in the literature, originally developed in English, and to kick start their Portuguese counterparts, the datasets were machine-translated from ...

Predicting Post-Discharge Complications in Cardiothoracic Surgery: a Clinical D...
Santos, R; Ribeiro, B; Sousa, I; Santos, J; Guede-Fernández, F; Dias, P; Carreiro, A; Gamboa, H; Coelho, P; Fragata, J; Londral, ACardiac surgery patients are highly prone to severe complications post-discharge. Close follow-up through remote patient monitoring can help detect adverse outcomes earlier or prevent them, closing the gap between hospital and home care. However, equipment is limited due to economic and human resource constraints. This issue raises the need for efficient risk estimation to provide clinicians with insights into ...
