- Aprendizagem gamificada da auscultação pulmonar no 1.º ano do curso de fisioterapia – ESS-P.PORTOPublication . Alexandrino, Ana; Noites, AndreiaA auscultação pulmonar (AP) é fundamental para a fisioterapia respiratória, porém os resultados dependem da experiência e capacidade do examinador para distinguir e interpretar sons respiratórios.
- Artificial intelligence in problem-based learning in higher education: A scoping reviewPublication . Alexandrino, Ana; Cunha, Christine; Lima, Teresa; Alexandrino, Ana Silva; Cunha, ChristineThe rapid evolution of technology calls for continuous pedagogical innovation in higher education, with active approaches like Problem-Based Learning (PBL) fostering critical thinking and collaboration. Artificial Intelligence (AI) shows strong potential to enhance PBL, yet there is a clear need for comprehensive research on its integration within higher education (HE) curricula. This study aims to map the scope of existing evidence on the use of AI in PBL contexts for higher education students. The eligibility criteria follow the PCC framework: Population: Higher education students; Concept: Use of Artificial Intelligence; Context: Problem-Based Learning. Methodology: Following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and reporting according to PRISMA-ScR guidelines, this scoping review addresses the main research question: What is the scope of existing evidence on the use of AI in PBL for higher education students? The sub-questions are: 1. What types of AI tools and systems are used and how are they pedagogically integrated into PBL approaches for HE students? 2. What are the identified benefits and challenges in using AI in PBL contexts for HE students? 3. What are the identified research gaps regarding the use of AI in PBL for HE students? A systematic search will be conducted in electronic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and ScienceDirect, including studies published between 2015 and 2025, available in English or Portuguese. Study selection will be done by two independent reviewers. Results will be synthesized narratively, grouping findings thematically. This review expects to identify AI tools applied in PBL, pedagogical strategies, benefits, challenges, and gaps in the literature, offering evidence-based insights for pedagogical practice, and guide future research in this emerging domain.
- Relationship of cranial deformation with nasal obstruction and middle ear function in babies: cross-sectional studyPublication . Gomes, Ana Jacinta; Tavares, Angélica; Silva, Maria Sousa; Silva, Cláudia; Alexandrino, Ana; Varela, Goreti; Mota, António; Tomé, David; Tomé, David; Alexandrino, Ana SilvaThis study aimed to analyse the relationship between cranial deformations (CD), nasal obstruction, and middle ear function in infants up to 12 months of age. A cross-sectional analytical observational study was conducted with a sample of 10 babies (3 females, 7 males) aged between 1 and 7 months. The study utilized quantitative and qualitative methodologies, including the Pediatric Respiratory Severity Scale, tympanometry, and cranial anthropometry using a craniometer. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics 28, with a 95% confidence interval. Of the 10 participants, 70% had cranial asymmetry index (CAI) alterations, and 60% had cephalic ratio (CR) alterations. Nasal obstruction was observed in 60% of the babies. A significant linear relationship was found between CAI and ear canal volume bilaterally, and between CAI and right ear compliance. Additionally, a significant relationship was observed between CR and ear canal volume. However, no statistically significant relationship was found between CD and nasal obstruction or middle ear pressure values. The study found no direct relationship between cranial deformities and nasal obstruction, although a tendency for nasal obstruction in babies with plagiocephaly and brachycephaly was noted. An increase in CAI was associated with a decrease in ear canal volume and right middle ear compliance, while an increase in CR was related to an increase in ear canal volume. These findings suggest that cranial deformities may impact middle ear function and structure, highlighting the importance of early referral to ENT specialists for infants with CD.
- What is the relationship between inspiratory muscle training and performance and respiratory biomechanics in athletes?Publication . Santos, José; Viana, Rui; Alexandrino, AnaInspiratory muscle training has an important role in sports performance. Scientific evidence suggests the coadjuvation of sports performance competition training with association of training of the inspiratory muscles alongside the use of a threshold. The purpose of this review is to summarize and assess the scientific evidence about optimizing respiratory biomechanics in specific sports.
