Measuring Adherence to Inhaled Control Medication in Patients with Asthma: Comp...
Cachim, A; Pereira, AM; Almeida, R; Amaral, R; Alves‐Correia, M; Vieira‐Marques, P; Chaves‐Loureiro, C; Ribeiro, C; Cardia, F; Gomes, J; Vidal, CBackground: Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of using an asthma app to support medication management and adherence but failed to compare with other measures currently used in clinical practice. However, in a clinical setting, any additional adherence measurement must be evaluated in the context of both the patient and physician perspectives so that it can also help improve the process of share...
Trends in diabetes incidence from 1992 to 2015 and projections for 2024: A Port...
Uva, Mafalda Sousa; Antunes, L; Nunes, Baltazar; Rodrigues, AP; Simões, JA; Ribeiro, RT; Boavida, José Manuel; Dias, Carlos MatiasBackground: Diabetes is known as a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Portugal is known as the European country with the highest prevalence of this disease. While diabetes prevalence data is updated annually in Portugal, the General Practitioner’s (GP) Sentinel Network represents the only data source on diabetes incidence. This study describes the trends in Diabetes incidence, between 1992 and 20...
Bone mechanical stimulation with piezoelectric materials
Reis, J; Frias, C; Capela e Silva, F; Potes, J; Simões, JA; Botelho, MI; Castro, CC; Marques, ATThis chapter summarized explores in vivo use of a piezoelectric polymer for bone mechanical stimulation
Piezoelectric actuators for bone mechanical stimulation: exploring the concept.
Reis, J; Frias, C; Capela e Silva, F; Potes, J; Botelho, ML; Canto e Castro, C; Marques, AT; Simões, JAArthroplasty is liable to cause intense changes on strain levels and distribution in the boné surrounding the implant, namely stress shielding. Several solutions have been proposed for this, namely design variations and development of controlled-stiffness implants. A new approach to this problem, with potential application to other orthopaedic problems and other medical fields, would be the development of smart...
