Assessing preschoolers interactive behaviour: a validation study of the "Coding...
Baião, Rita Isabel Curto; Baptista, J.; Carneiro, A.; Pinto, R.; Toscano, C.; Fearon, P.; Soares, Isabel; Mesquita, Ana Raquel MarcelinoBackgroundThe preschool years are a period of great developmental achievements, which impact critically on a child's interactive skills. Having valid and reliable measures to assess interactive behaviour at this stage is therefore crucial. The aim of this study was to describe the adaptation and validation of the child coding of the Coding System for Mother-Child Interactions and discuss its applications and im...

This study aimed to examine...

Molecular and epidemiologic study of Clostridium difficile reveals unusual hete...
Santos, A.; Isidro, J.; Silva, C.; Boaventura, L.; Diogo, J.; Faustino, A.; Toscano, C.; Oleastro, M.Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) represents a great healthcare burden in developed countries. The emergence of the epidemic PCR ribotype (RT) 027 and its acquired fluoroquinolones resistance have accentuated the need for an active surveillance of CDI. Here we report the first countrywide study of CDI in Portugal with the characterization of 498 C. difficile clinical isolates from 20 hospitals in four regio...
