Dor nas costas nos pré-adolescentes de uma comunidade escolar do Alto Minho: um...
Matos, Maria João; Barreiras, Catarina; Festas, Constança; Almeida, Sofia; Luís, RicardoO período de crescimento inerente à infância e à adolescência é uma etapa importante para o desenvolvimento músculo-esquelético, pois é marcado por diversas transformações físicas. Durante esta fase, a aquisição de hábitos posturais incorretos, principalmente em ambiente escolar e a ocorrência de alterações posturais, poderá originar lesões músculo-esqueléticas (LME), onde se destaca a dor, principalmente local...
Prevenção de lesões músculo-esqueléticas nos cuidadores informais de doentes de...
Matos, Maria João; Araújo, Clara deIntrodução: Prestar cuidados à pessoa com dependência pode ser extremamente difícil e desgastante a vários níveis, onde a sobrecarga inerente à movimentação manual do doente, poderá ocasionar má postura e consequentemente lesões músculo-esqueléticas, no cuidador informal. As lesões músculo-esqueléticas, ao serem consideradas um problema de saúde multifatorial, tornam-se uma prioridade de atuação da Enfermagem d...
COPD: should diagnosis match physiology?
Studnicka, Michael; Horner, Andreas; Sator, Lea; Buist, A. Sonia; Lamprecht, Bernd; Zhong, NanShan; Liu, Shengming; Lu, Jiachun; Ran, Pixin; Wang, DaliWe are very grateful to Dr. Vanfleteren and colleagues for commenting on our data regarding overdiagnosed COPD2 and for putting this evidence into the framework of the current understanding of the disease. Based on the data presented on overdiagnosis, and on prior Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease (BOLD) observations on underdiagnosis,3 we truly believe that our worldwide community of pulmonary specialists cou...
Surveillance of succinate dehydrogenase gene mutation carriers : insights from ...
Martins, Raquel; Cunha, Nuno; Simões, Helder; Matos, Maria João; Silva, João; Torres, Isabel; Rodrigues, Fernando; Leite, Valeriano; Teixeira, Manuel R.Objective: Mutations in the genes coding for succinate dehydrogenase (SDHx) are the most frequent germline alterations in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas. Evidence for the advantages associated with presymptomatic screening for SDHx mutation carriers is scarce. This study describes a nationwide cohort of these mutation carriers and aims to compare patients with clinical manifestations of the disease and th...
Overdiagnosis of COPD in subjects with unobstructed spirometry
Sator, Lea; Horner, Andreas; Studnicka, Michael; Lamprecht, Bernd; Kaiser, Bernhard; McBurnie, Mary Ann; Buist, A. Sonia; Gnatiuc, LuisaBackground: There are several reports on the underdiagnosis of COPD, while little is known about COPD overdiagnosis and overtreatment. We describe the overdiagnosis and the prevalence of spirometrically defined false-positive COPD, as well as their relationship with overtreatment across 23 population samples in 20 countries participating in the BOLD Study between 2003 and 2012. Methods: A false-positive diagnos...
Crystal structures of three 6-substituted coumarin-3-carboxamide derivatives
Gomes, Lígia R.; Low, John Nicolson; Fonseca, André; Matos, Maria João; Borges, FernandaThree coumarin derivatives, viz. 6-methyl-N-(3-methyl-phen-yl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide, C18H15NO3 (1), N-(3-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide, C18H15NO4 (2), and 6-meth-oxy-N-(3-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide, C18H15NO5 (3), were synthesized and structurally characterized. The mol-ecules display intra-molecular N-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which probab...
