Pegada 4.0: referenciais de emissões de CO2-eq na atividade agrícola em Portuga...
Silva, J.R.M.; Caldinhas, M.; Correia, M.; Lourenço, P.; Oliveira, Margarida; Amaral, A.; Patanita, M.; Palma, J.; Tomaz, A.; Silva, C.; Rodrigues, G.Os objetivos propostos no Pacto Ecológico Europeu (“European Green Deal”), na estratégia do Prado ao Prato (“Farm to Fork”) e na nova Política Agrícola Comum (PAC) visam a integração de um roteiro de políticas, ações, incentivos e medidas de gestão para fomentar a utilização eficiente dos recursos na agricultura, restaurar e preservar a biodiversidade e as paisagens rurais e reduzir a pegada de carbono. São est...
Intensity and safety of community-based physical activities for people with COPD
Rebelo, P.; Santos, E. S.; Rodrigues, G.; Grave, A. S.; Dias, C.; Oliveira, A. C.; Moura, M. J.; Rijo, A. S.; Brooks, D.; Marques, A.Background: long-term maintenance of the benefits obtained with pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in people with COPD is of upmost importance, yet highly challenging. Integrating these people in community-based physical activities (PAs), after PR, can be a promising strategy to maintain achieved benefits. Nevertheless, to confidently advise people with COPD to enrol these community-based PAs, clinicians must ensure...
Desenvolvimento de nanofertilizantes pela técnica de camada-sobre-camada
Saraiva, Raquel; Ferreira, Q.; Rodrigues, G.; Machado, M.; Oliveira, A.; Oliveira, MargaridaO desenvolvimento de nanofertilizantes é uma alternativa que se afigura de grande interesse no contexto económico e climático atual. Por um lado, é necessário reduzir a extração e o uso de matérias-primas utilizadas na produção de alimentos e por outro lado, a libertação desses compostos no solo deve ser realizada de forma criteriosa e eficiente, nos momentos em que as culturas necessitam. O objetivo deste trab...
COPD: can genetic Background inform about disease heterogeneity?
Marçalo, R. F. Santos; Rodrigues, G.; Córdova, T.; Neves, V.; Neto, S.; Pinheiro, M.; Santos, M. A. S.; Simão, P.; Mendes, A.; Andrade, L.; Marques, A.People with COPD vary substantially on their pulmonary (e.g., airway obstruction) and extra-pulmonary (e.g., symptoms, functional status) manifestations. The aim of this study was to relate this high heterogeneity to the patient’s genetic Background, namely focusing on polymorphisms associated with COPD and COPD-associated phenotypes and features. Summary statistics for COPD and COPD-associated phenotypes and f...
Impact of pulmonary rehabilitation on the social support of people with COPD
Almeida, S.; Rebelo, P.; Rodrigues, G.; Samuel, E.; Monteiro, C.; Grave, A.; Dias, C.; Santos, C.; Simões, A.; Rodrigues, C.; Marques, S.Social support improves general health (e.g., reduces hospitalisations and exacerbations) and well-being of people with COPD, but it has shown to be low in this population. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has potential to improve social support of people with COPD, however, this needs to be investigated. This study explored the impacts of PR on the social support of people with COPD. An observational study was co...
Prevalence, incidence, and factors associated with chronic cough: a systematic ...
Crespo, T.; Moço, D.; Rodrigues, G.; Marques, A.; Oliveira, A.Introduction: Chronic cough (CC) is a common and disabling symptom, associated with physical and psychological effects that interfere with patients’ daily activities. Previous studies showed that CC may be present in people without any underlying condition and that environmental and occupational factors increase the risk of developing CC. However, the prevalence and incidence of CC in the general population and...
Functional status following pulmonary rehabilitation in people with AECOPD: a s...
Santos, A.; Fernandes, I.; Rodrigues, G.; Oliveira, A.; Marques, A.Introduction: Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) lead to a decline not only in the patient’s lung function but also in other important health domains, such as functional status. Functional status includes functional capacity and functional performance. Functional capacity refers to one’s maximal potential to realize a functional activity in a standardized environment. Function...
Effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in the functional status of people with ILD...
Pinto, R.; Santos, R.; Rodrigues, G.; Oliveira, A.; Marques, A.Introduction: Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a disabling group of chronic respiratory diseases characterized by different degrees of lung inflammation and fibrosis. People with ILD frequently report a decline in their functional status with a significant impact on their daily life activities. Functional status is an individual’s ability to perform normal daily activities required to meet basic needs and m...
Migration in the ABCD assessment tool after community-based pulmonary rehabilit...
Marques, A.; Roque, A.; Rebelo, P.; Agostinho, I.; Rodrigues, G.; Gomes, M.; Rocha, V.; Paixão, C.; Machado, A.; Souto-Miranda, S.; Freitas, C.Objectives: The ABCD assessment tool (ABCD) proposed by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) is often used to guide treatment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, treatment remains focused on pulmonary pharmacology, despite being known that this will have minimal effects on meaningful aspects of people’s daily life such as symptoms. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR)...
Social support in people with chronic respiratory diseases: an exploratory study
Almeida, S.; Rebelo, P.; Agostinho, I.; Gomes, M.; Rodrigues, G.; Oliveira, C.; Ferreira, V.; Moura, M. J.; Rijo, A. Sofia; Moreira, I.; Ferreira, M.Objectives: Social support influences health status and manage-ment of people with chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), but it is largely unexplored. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the quantity, quality and network composition of social support in peo-ple with CRDs.Methods: An exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted in people with CRDs. Quantity (number of people), quality (level of satisfac...
