- A7.1 Cultural adaptation and validation of instruments the london fibromyalgia epidemiology study screening questionnaire and fibromyalgia new clinical diagnostic criteria for the portuguese population with fibromyalgiaPublication . Mesquita, Cristina; Lopes, Sofia; Araújo, Filipa; Vitorino, Alice; Neves, Inês; Silva, Daniela; Lopes, Patrícia; Moreira, Excelsa; Carneiro, AnaBackground and Objectives Fibromyalgia it is recognised as a chronic condition because of high morbidity. Usually classified as a disease by the absence of functional organic changes, the diagnosis is controversial and takes approximately 2 to 3 years to be established by a rheumatologist. To minimize this gap, as well as the negative impact on quality of life of patients and the socio-economic context of the country concerned can resort to the administration of validated questionnaires. They also facilitate the collection of reliable information and its comparison with international studies in the scientific community. The objective of this study is culturally adapt and validate the instruments The London Fibromyalgia Epidemiology Study Screening Questionnaire (LFESSQ) and Clinical New Fibromyalgia Diagnostic Criteria (NCFDC) for the Portuguese population with FM.
- A7.2 Evaluation of the influence of a program of home-based exercises in disability due to neck pain in subjects with FibromyalgiaPublication . Mesquita, Cristina; Lopes, Sofia; Neves, Inês; Silva, Daniela; Araújo, Filipa; Vitorino, Alice; Lopes, Patrícia; Moreira, Excelsa; Carneiro, AnaBackground and Objectives Patients with fibromyalgia often feel disable in daily function and admit a great impact in quality of life due to their health condition. The recommendations of an exercise program are important, because individuals with FM are often inactive and physically deconditioned, they fear that exercise exacerbates symptoms. The exercise programs for individuals with fibromyalgia have poor adhesion primarily by the need for equipment, facilities and travel, and the presence of depressive symptoms. All these factors are relevant and take into account when designing the home-based exercise program. The objective of this study was investigate the effect of a home-based exercise program in disability caused by neck pain in patients with fibromyalgia.
- A7.3 Evaluation the effect of a home-exercise program based on disability caused by back pain in individuals with fibromyalgiaPublication . Mesquita, Cristina; Lopes, Sofia; Silva, Daniela; Neves, Inês; Araújo, Filipa; Vitorino, Alice; Lopes, Patrícia; Excelsa Moreira, Maria; Carneiro, AnaBackground and Objectives Fibromyalgia (FM) is a rheumatic disease and the cause remains unknown, it’s characterised by the presence of musculoskeletal widespread pain, and the lumbar region is one of the places frequently affected. Pain presented by FM patients is usually described as the forum muscular, and one of the most referred to is the back. These painful situations can be associated to the function of the lumbar support of the upper body weight, so this region being subjected to compressive loads and lumbopelvic instability situations, which are frequently associated with low back pain, so it is important to consciousness of posture neutral in the lumbar spine, strengthening and stretching the muscles responsible for the stability of this region. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of an exercise program performed at home in the level of disability caused by low back pain in patients with FM.
- A7.4 Study of psychometric properties of the "medical outcomes Scale (MOS) sleep scale" in the portuguese population with fibromyalgiaPublication . Mesquita, Cristina; Lopes, Sofia; Vitorino, Alice; Araújo, Filipa; Neves, Inês; Silva, Daniela; Lopes, Patrícia; Moreira, Excelsa; Carneiro, AnaBackground and Objectives Sleep is a highly organised biological process that is an important component of functioning and well-being of human. Sleep disorders have been referred as one of the main symptoms of Fibromyalgia. However, after the pain, sleep disorder symptoms is most often referenced by these individuals, including non-restorative sleep, insomnia and poor quality sleep. Recent studies suggest a reciprocal relationship between pain and sleep. Thus, the new diagnostic criteria proposed by American College of Rheumatology (ACR) suggest that sleep should be a central aspect of Fibromyalgia clinical evaluation. The objective of this study is evaluate the psychometric properties of the MOS Sleep Scale in patients with Fibromyalgia.

Foram encontradas concordâncias com a bibliografia, no entanto não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente descritivas entre os sexos.
- Ensaios in vitro de avaliação do efeito antitumoral de inibidores glicolíticosPublication . Cunha, Andrea; Rocha, Ana Catarina; Silva, Daniela; Barbosa, Flávia; Sarmento, Bruno; Queirós, OdíliaA quimioterapia é particularmente tóxica para as células tumorais; porém, não é específica, sendo responsável por importantes efeitos adversos associados ao tratamento. O "Efeito Warburg" é uma característica do cancro, que consiste numa alteração metabólica na produção de energia da fosforilação oxidativa para a glicólise, mesmo na presença de O2. A ativação contínua da glicólise conduz a um rápido aumento de energia e de lactato, promovendo a proliferação, a invasão e a resistência à quimioterapia. O 3-bromopiruvato (3BP), o dicloroacetato (DCA) e a 2-desoxiglucose (2DG) são agentes anti-glicolíticos que inibem o metabolismo energético da célula tumoral, levando à depleção do ATP celular.
- Physical activity and low back pain in former athletesPublication . Fleming, Miguel; Miranda, Leonor G.; Oliveira, Rosa; Machado, Isabel; Cunha, Sabrina; Silva, DanielaThe majority of guidelines accentuates the regular physical activity and exercise as a protective factor in chronic pelvic low back pain. Surprisingly, there is some controversy about the possible protective role of physical activity (PA) in low back pain. Objectives: To compare physical activity between former athletes with and without nonspecific chronic pelvic low back pain. To analyze the relationship between physical activity and functional low back pain disability in former athletes with nonspecific chronic pelvic low back pain.
