Biomechanical Basis of Bone Fracture and Fracture Osteosynthesis in Small Animals

Alexandre, Nuno; simões, Gonçalo; Martinho Lopes, António; Guerra Guimarães, Tarcísio; Lopes, Bruna; Sousa, Patrícia; Sousa, Ana Catarina

The mastery of concepts related to biomechanics in bone fracture is crucial for the surgical success of osteosynthesis. The understanding of the basics of bone fracture is a skill fundamental to the choice of the correct method of osteosynthesis. Deep knowledge of implants, namely, their mechanic characteristics, and the correct technical use following the recommended guidelines for each type are crucial factor...


Tracing the volatilomic fingerprint of the most popular Italian fortified wines

Jasmins, Gonçalo; Perestrelo, Rosa; Coïsson, Jean Daniel; Sousa, Patrícia; Teixeira, J. A.; Bordiga, Matteo; Câmara, José S.

The aim of the current study was to provide a useful platform to identify characteristic molecular markers related to the authenticity of Italian fortified wines. For this purpose, the volatilomic fingerprint of the most popular Italian fortified wines was established using headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS). Several volatile organic compound...


Estimating the Glomerular Filtration Rate in Pediatric Patients With Neurogenic...

Menezes, Catarina; Costa, Teresa; Brás, Catarina; Sousa, Patrícia; Mendes, Ana; Amorim, Rosa; Faria, Maria Do Sameiro; Mota, Conceição

Background and objective Patients with neurogenic bladder (NB) are at a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Due to their lower muscle mass, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on creatinine (Cr) may be overestimated and delay the diagnosis of renal failure. This study compared eGFR calculated with different equations based on Cr and/or cystatin C (CysC) in children with NB,...


Influence of the vegan diet on sports performance

Sousa, Patrícia

Being healthy is a prerequisite for becoming a successful athlete. Most scientific evidence strongly associates a well-planned Vegan diet with health, successful body weight control, a preventive measure and, in some cases, the end and reversal of some of the most common noncommunicable chronic diseases. However, despite the solid health benefits of these diets, Vegan athletes are often confronted with prejudic...


Personality traits and exercise modes

Sousa, Patrícia

Over the last few decades, Physical Exercise has been touted as one of the most important behavioural health practices. Personality has been considered a predictive variable for the adoption of behaviours such as involvement in Physical Exercise programs. Therefore, this study analysed the relationship between personality and the choice of exercise modes. The literature suggests the need to investigate more on ...


Is there a relationship between the motivation of female fitness practitioners ...

Sousa, Patrícia; Coelho, Eduarda; Mota, Maria Paula

The practice of Physical Exercise has been associated with the adoption of healthy lifestyles and, consequently, an improvement in health. The objective of the study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between tobacco and alcohol consumption and the type of modality practiced; and if the reasons presented for the practice are somehow related to these habits. The sample consisted of 177 adult wome...


Is respiratory viral coinfection associated with greater clinical severity?

Sousa, Patrícia; Kochetkova, Nadezda; Correia de Oliveira, Susana; Mota, Paula; Dias, Ângela

Introduction: Lower respiratory infections are a major cause of hospital admission in pediatric care. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most commonly identified agent, either isolated or with other agents. Coinfection rates vary between 10-44%, with conflicting data regarding the role of coinfection in clinical severity. Aims: This study aimed to assess whether viral respiratory coinfection is associated...


Severe multifocal alopecia areata − An imaging case report

Correia de Oliveira, Susana; Sousa, Patrícia; Pereira, Cecília; Meireles, Carla

The authors report a severe case of a common disorder in a healthy eight-year-old male child. The boy was observed for asymptomatic hair loss with seven months of evolution that greatly disrupted his life and caused him to wear a hat at all times. Alopecia areata was diagnosed, and the boy underwent four years of multiple treatments before achieving full hair regrowth. It should be noted that alopecia areata ca...
