The human hand is important for the performance of activities daily living which are directly related to quality life. Various conditions, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) can affect function and wrist. ability assess impairment in wrist by measuring range motion (ROM), essential development effective rehabilitation protocols. Currently clinical standard goniometer. In this study we explore feasibility reliability an optical sensor (Leap sensor) active hand/wrist ROM. We measured...
Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma, and objective assessment of inhaler needed. The InspirerMundi app aims to monitor while providing positive experience through gamification social support.
ABSTRACT Minas Gerais is the leading state in groundwater usage for rural areas, particularly agricultural practices, making effective monitoring and management of these water resources essential. This study analyzes hydrogeological context two Regional Environmental Offices (REOs) Gerais: Jequitinhonha (JQ) Leste Mineiro (LM). The research cross-referenced data on availability with information soil requirements fertilizer corrective applications, utilizing a robust dataset over 1,400...
Honey allergy is a very rare, but serious health condition. In this study, we presented 1 patient who had anaphylaxis after the honey allergological investigation with skin prick-prick test honey. as food has been associated to allergic reactions and increased consumption of in may increase incidence honey-related reactions.
We aimed to compare patient's and physician's ratings of inhaled medication adherence identify predictors patient-physician discordance. Baseline data from two prospective multicentre observational studies. 29 allergy, pulmonology paediatric secondary care outpatient clinics in Portugal. 395 patients (≥13 years old) with persistent asthma. Data on demographics, relationship, upper airway control, asthma treatment, forced expiratory volume one second (FEV1) healthcare use were collected....
The prevalence of transmitted human immunodeficiency virus type 1 drug resistance in Angola 2001 196 untreated patients was investigated. All subtypes were detected, along with unclassifiable and complex recombinant strains. Numerous new polymorphisms identified the reverse transcriptase protease. Two (1.6%) unrelated harbored nucleoside inhibitor- nonnucleoside inhibitor-resistant viruses (mutations: M41L, D67N, M184V, L210W, T215Y or T215F, K103N). Continued surveillance is required for...
Background Health and fitness apps have potential benefits to improve self-management disease control among patients with asthma. However, inconsistent use rates been reported across studies, regions, health systems. A better understanding of the characteristics users nonusers is critical design solutions that are effectively integrated in patients’ daily lives, ensure these equitably reach out different groups patients, thus improving rather than entrenching inequities. Objective This study...
Cortisol implants in normal and diabetic rats reduced body weight, adiposity, insulin receptor concentration both basal insulin-stimulated rates of lipogenesis isolated adipocytes, whilst sensitivity was unchanged. In but not these changes were accompanied by increased serum glucose concentrations. contrast, progesterone weight gain, adipose tissue, again without affecting sensitivity. Progesterone did affect concentrations or accelerated the decline which occurred during an overnight fast...

We aimed to identify persistent asthma phenotypes among adolescents and evaluate longitudinally asthma-related outcomes across phenotypes. Adolescents (13-17 years) from the prospective, observational, multicenter INSPIRERS studies, conducted in Portugal Spain, were included (n = 162). Latent class analysis was applied demographic, environmental, clinical variables, collected at a baseline medical visit. Longitudinal differences variables assessed 4-month follow-up telephone contact 128)....
Background: Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma and objective assessment of inhaler needed. InspirerMundi app aims to monitor while turning it into positive experience through gamification social support. Objective: We assessed the medium-term feasibility real-world patients with persistent (treated daily inhaled medication). In addition, we attempted identify characteristics related higher use. Methods: Two multicenter observational studies, one initial face-to-face...
Objective.Describe the safety and long-term use of omalizumab in chronic urticaria (CU), both spontaneous (CSU) inducible (CIndU).Methods.Retrospective chart-review (2006-15) CU patients treated with for ≥ 6 months.Statistical analyses: descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney, generalized linear models.Results.23 CSU (3 men), 3 CIndU (2 men).Generalized models showed UAS reduction per administration 16% (both p < 0.001) UAS7, 15% CIndU, 20% 0.001).DLQI score at baseline had a median 19 (CIndU...
Abstract A comparison assessment of lateral buckle (LB) formation among three typical mitigation devices (sleeper, distributed buoyancy modules (DBM), and residual curvature method (RCM)) commonly considered in the design high pressure temperature (HPHT) flowlines is carried out by adopting a probabilistic approach based on Virtual Anchor Spacing Finite-Element (VAS FE) modeling to assess initiation reliability. The pros cons each device are detailed, critical stochastic parameters...
Introdução: A psoríase é uma doença inflamatória crônica da pele que se caracteriza pela formação de placas escamosas e vermelhas, resultantes aceleração do ciclo renovação celular. Embora frequentemente considerada apenas questão dermatológica, a possui impactos profundos na qualidade vida dos pacientes, afetando não saúde física, mas também o bem-estar emocional social. Dessa forma, tratamento intervencionista psoríase, inclui terapias biológicas medicamentos sistêmicos, tem mostrado...
