Abstract:

Within the health sciences, action research is a methodology well suited to the goal of collaboratively improving practice. As the Royal College of Radiology recommends the use of published clinical trials as guides for achieving higher standards of accuracy, it is important for radiologists to reflect deeply on the results from diagnostic accuracy studies. When the results of the gold standard (or reference standard) are used to confirm a particular diagnosis or disease by comparing the diagnostic accuracy to a newer or index test, this is referred to as diagnostic accuracy research.

Abstract:

Tooth whitening is becoming popular in the world today due to peoples' increased awareness of their cosmetic appearance. Tooth whitening is usually achieved either by the physical removal of stain using abrasives or by chemically reducing it with the help of bleaching agents. Product evaluations have been carried out by different investigators and manufacturers to assess the whitening efficacy of different products. Techniques employed in product testing should be standard, reliable, precise and accurate so that meaningful comparisons may be carried out. Tooth whitening and stain has been conv

Abstract:

Background: Decisions on which tests to use should be informed by evidence that they do more good than harm. Test-treatment RCTs are recommended as the ‘gold–standard’ approach, but have attracted criticism that question whether they are fit for purpose. Confronting this question, the thesis investigates four key challenges by finding and analysing all identifiable test-treatment RCTs (2004–2007). Methods: Capture–recapture analysis estimated the total population of trials; descriptive analysis characterised the diagnostic questions evaluated by RCT; reviews of reporting and methodological qua

Abstract:

Dengue is a major public health problem that affects tens of millions of people annually in tropical and sub-tropical countries. This acute viral infection happens to be severe and even life threatening but there is still no available drug or vaccine. Previous studies have noted early higher viral burden in patients who develop more severe symptoms suggesting that administration of a potent and safe antiviral may prevent progression to severe dengue. To verify this hypothesis, we have conducted the first RCT directed towards reducing the viral burden in vivo by administrating chloroquine (CQ),

Abstract:

Clinical and scientific understanding of the human prion diseases has advanced rapidly in recent years, and the possibility of an effective therapeutic agent being found now seems a realistic prospect. Alongside the search for an effective therapy, a number of major obstacles must be overcome to ensure that clinical trials have the best possible chance of being successful, and to maximise the benefit that can be gained from any treatment that is found. This thesis presents several projects that aim to contribute to this. Improving early diagnosis is likely to be key to making the most of any a

Both study groups received one hour of theory on OME; the intervention group also received a 30-minute teaching session that included both video-otoendoscopic examination (VOE) pneumatic assessments and one practice session.

Binge-eating disorder (BED) is characterized by recurrent objective binge eating that occurs in the absence of compensatory behaviors to prevent weight gain. As the most common eating disorder emerging in youth, BED co-occurs with increased eating disorder and general psychopathology, impaired quality of life, and obesity [1]. Despite its clinical significance, there is a dearth of treatment studies in adolescents [1, 2].

Abstract:

INTRODUÇÃO: Poucas são as estratégias testadas para reduzir o volume de contraste durante angioplastia coronária. Levantamos a hipótese de que o ultrassom intravascular teria o potencial de substituir muitas informações fornecidas pela angiografia, reduzindo, dessa forma, o volume total de contraste utilizado durante a angioplastia coronária. MÉTODOS: No total, 83 pacientes foram randomizados para realização de angioplastia guiada pela angiografia isolada ou angioplastia guiada pelo ultrassom intravascular. Ambos os grupos foram tratados com estratégias rigorosas para redução de contraste, ten

Projeto de Pós-Graduação/Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Medicina Dentária<br>As distonias oromandibulares (DOM) são desordens neuromusculares raras que consistem em espasmos prolongados derivados de contrações dos músculos da cavidade oral e da mandíbula. Os músculos envolvidos podem ser os da mastigação, os da expressão facial ou até mesmo os da língua. Atualmente a fisiopatologia ainda não é clara e não existe tratamento que a elimine. Contudo, para a maioria das distonias focais, como é o caso da distonia

Orientador: José Carlos de Figueiredo Pantoja<br>Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar novas estratégias de identificação e tratamento de mastite subclínica causada por Streptococcus agalactiae. Dois estudos foram conduzidos para alcançar os objetivos propostos: 1) um ensaio clínico randomizado, para avaliar a eficácia do tratamento de S. agalactiae com cloxacilina intramamária (CLOXIMM), cefquinoma intramamária (CEFIMM) e cefquinoma intramuscular (CEFIM); e avaliar a não-inferioridade da CLOXIMM em relação a CEFIMM. E, 2) um estudo de acurácia diagnóstica, para estimar a acurácia do Som

Introdução: A hipersensibilidade dentária é caracterizada por dor aguda proveniente dos túbulos dentinários expostos em resposta a um estímulo térmico, tátil, osmótico ou químico e que não pode ser descrita como nenhum defeito dentário ou patologia. [1-3] A hipersensibilidade dentária é frequente em doentes com patologia Periodontal, e é frequente a sua exacerbação após a fase higiénica do tratamento periodontal. Objetivo: Este estudo clínico tem como objetivo avaliar a eficácia da pasta de polimento com arginina (Colgate GmbH) no alívio da hipersensibilidade dentária, secundária ao tratamen
