Breastfeeding for Better Health – A Community-Based Intervention
Padilha, Sofia; Arantes, Pedro; Sarmento de Beires, Teresa; Ribeiro, Joana; Eiras, AndreiaIntroduction: Breastfeeding provides multiple health benefits for both mother and child. Several studies suggest that community interventions enhance breastfeeding literacy, practice and duration. The authors developed an intervention to improve parents’ knowledge of the benefits of breastfeeding in the prenatal period as a means of promoting this practice. Methods: An informative session on breastfeeding was o...
Optimizing Contraceptive Counselling for Women with Migraine in a Primary Care ...
Vasconcelos, Rita; Sousa, Joana; Ribeiro, Joana; Pereira, Pedro; Alvarenga, Bárbara; Gomes, Mário; Sá, MariaINTRODUCTION: Contraceptive counselling plays a crucial role in Family Planning within Primary Healthcare. While combined hormonal contraceptives (CHC) are widely used, it is essential to consider alternatives for women diagnosed with migraine. The primary objective of this project is to ensure the appropriate prescription of contraceptives for women diagnosed with migraine within a Portuguese family health uni...
Compositional variation of soils from Cabo Mondego (Portugal): new data to supp...
Heck Michels, Fernando; Ribeiro, Joana; Henriques, Maria Helena; Misz-Kennan, Magdalena; Fabiańska, MonikaABSTRACT: This study aims to determine physicochemical parameters of soils from Cabo Mondego area (Central Portugal), allowing the establishment of the natural background to serve as a reference to identify variations resulting from industrial activities. Forty-three surface soil samples were collected near the deactivated industrial complex and another seven in more distant areas. The soils present a predomina...
Natural radioactivity of soils surrounding the deactivated Sines thermal power ...
Erbolato Filho, José; Ribeiro, Joana; Pereira, AlcidesABSTRACT: For 36 years, the coal combustion in Sines thermal power plant generated a complex mixture of gases and particles that were partially emitted into the atmosphere and the environment. The determination of radiological parameters in soils surrounding the power plant reveals that soils in the southern area have higher activity concentration of natural radionuclides (40K, 232Th, and 238U), as well as high...
Aplicação do método de resistividade elétrica na caracterização do calcário em ...
Gomes, Alexandre; Duarte, João; Ribeiro, JoanaRESUMO: O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi a caracterização do maciço calcário explorado na pedreira “EM&R nº 6478”, com base na aplicação do método geofísico de resistividade elétrica, tendo em vista a otimização da operação extrativa de calcário para fins ornamentais. Pretende-se identificar as zonas do maciço com coloração acinzentada, que apresentam menor interesse económico. Verificou-se que os valore...
PRRT2-Associated Disorders: A Phenotypic Spectrum of Paroxysms
Bernardes, Catarina; Santos, Constança; Amaral , Joana; Palavra, Filipe; Pereira, Cristina; Ribeiro, JoanaPRRT2 is a presynaptic plasma membrane protein involved in neurotransmitter release. Disorders associated with PRRT2 pathogenic variants are a spectrum of clinical conditions with autosomal dominant inheritance, characterized by a paroxysmal presentation. The three main ones are self-limited infantile epilepsy, paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia, and hemiplegic migraine, but other presentations have been reporte...
Improving genetic diagnostics for patients with negative exome sequencing using...
Ribeiro, Joana; Faria, Brígida Mónica; Pinto, Pedro; Sá, Joaquim; Faria, Brigida MonicaNext-generation sequencing (NGS) can be performed using several different platforms. Detecting DNA alterations that affect human health is now possible because of NGS technologies [1]. Despite the advancements in NGS, challenges persist, particularly in cases where traditional exome sequencing yields negative results. Sequencing of the entire genome provides global information about exons and introns, which can...
The influence of range of motion on the functional and structural capacity of t...
Ferreira, Luís M.; Ferreira, Luís; Ribeiro, Joana; Branquinho, Luís; Peixoto, Rafael; Leite, Luciano Bernardes; Forte, PedroRange of motion in exercises is one of the foundations for greater activation of a muscle group. The objective of this investigation was to compare the structural and functional capacity of the triceps brachii between three groups with different angles (90°, 110°, and 130°) in a unilateral elbow extension exercise. The sample consisted of 25 subjects with a mean age of 24.12 ± 3.83 years, mean height of 1.78 ± ...
Analyzing Key Factors on Training Days within a Standard Microcycle for Young S...
Teixeira, José Eduardo; Branquinho, Luís; Ferraz, Ricardo; Morgans, Ryland; Encarnação, Samuel Gonçalves; Ribeiro, Joana; Afonso, Pedro; Ruzmetov, NematUtilizing techniques for reducing multivariate data is essential for comprehensively understanding the variations and relationships within both biomechanical and physiological datasets in the context of youth football training. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the primary factors influencing training sessions within a standard microcycle among young sub-elite football players. A total of 6...
