- Consensus must be found on intravenous fluid therapy management in trauma patientsPublication . Mota, Mauro; Reis Santos, Margarida; Cunha, Madalena; Melo, Filipe; Neves, Hugo; Abrantes, TitoIntroduction: Trauma is an important cause of death among young people and 30-40% of this mortality rate is due to hypovolemic shock, intensified by trauma’s lethal triad: Hypothermia, Acidosis, and Coagulopathy. Nurses are responsible for managing fluid therapy administration in trauma victims. The purpose of this study is to analyse the reasons why intravenous fluid therapy is recommended for trauma patients’ hemodynamic stabilization. Methods: This narrative literature review included published and unpublished studies in English, Spanish or Portuguese between 1994 and January 2019. The search results were analyzed by two independent reviewers. Inclusion criteria encompasses quantitative studies involving trauma victims aged over 18 who underwent fluid therapy in a prehospital assessment context. Results& Discussion: 11 quantitative studies were included. 9 involved the use of fluid therapy for hypotension treatment and 2 of the studies analyzed involved the use of warmed fluid therapy for hypothermia treatment. The analysis performed reveals that the administration of aggressive fluid therapy seems to be responsible for the worsening of the lethal triad. In the presence of traumatic brain injury, permissive hypotension is not allowed due to the negative impact on cerebral perfusion pressure. Used as warming measure, warmed fluid therapy does not seem to have a significant impact on body temperature. Conclusions: There is no consensus regarding the administration of fluid therapy to trauma patients. This conclusion clearly supports the need to develop more randomized controlled trials in order to understand the effectiveness of such measure when it comes to control hypovolemia and hypothermia.

- O efeito das ligaduras funcionais da articulação tíbio-társica na propriocepção: revisão da literaturaPublication . Esteves, José Manuel; Melo, Filipe; Oliveira, Raúl; Cabri, JanIntrodução: A ligadura funcional na articulação tíbio-társica é utilizada com fins terapêuticos ou preventivos. A sua eficácia pode ser atribuída à limitação mecânica que implica, mas também pode envolver processos neurofisiológicos relacionados com o feedback proprioceptivo. Existem instrumentos de medida que avaliam objectivamente algumas componentes da propriocepção. Objectivos: Realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre o efeito das ligaduras funcionais da articulação tíbio-társica na propriocepção. Relevância: O conhecimento sobre o tema pode constituir mais uma informação que contribui para decisão dos fisioterapeutas ou outros profissionais de saúde quanto à aplicação da ligadura funcional na articulação tíbio-társica. Metodologia: Com base numa metodologia sistemática, foi realizada uma revisão dos artigos publicados entre 1987 e 2007, pesquisados nas bases de dados referenciais PubMed e PEDro. Foram seleccionados os artigos que cumpriam com os critérios de selecção e eliminados os restantes. Resultados e discussão: Dos 66 artigos provenientes das pesquisas, foram seleccionados 10 artigos. Constatou-se que cinco artigos referem que as ligaduras funcionais não apresentam qualquer efeito sobre a propriocepção. Um estudo verificou alterações benéficas que desapareciam após o exercício físico. Dois estudos referem que a ligadura funcional poderá intervir positivamente nos sistemas proprioceptivos implicados na estabilidade dinâmica. Apenas um estudo refere que a ligadura poderá ter um efeito prejudicial sobre a propriocepção. Conclusão: Os resultados dos estudos não são unânimes quanto aos efeitos da ligadura funcional da articulação tíbio-társica na propriocepção. É necessária a realização de mais estudos com desenhos experimentais de maior qualidade metodológica.

- Interdisciplinary working practices: can creative dance improve math?Publication . Rebelo Leandro, Cristina; Monteiro, Elisabete; Melo, FilipeThis study is integrated in the field of Dance in Education, focusing on the instrumentalist aspect of art. We focused on creative dance as a catalyst to learn Mathematics’ contents. This interdisciplinary work can enhance the learning, as far as the understanding of Mathematics’ concepts is achieved through the body and revealed by expressive and creative movement. The main purpose of the investigation, quasi-experimental, was to analyze the impact of creative dance in the learning of Mathematics’ concepts in children (7/8 year old) in primary education, in two Portuguese schools. The sample included 8 classes, 117 children in total, of both genders. The intervention has taken place in two groups (experimental group and control group), with four sessions of creative dance in the experimental group. Both groups were assessed on three different occasions (pre-test, post-test and retest). The statistical techniques used for processing the data were the analysis of variance of mixed plans and the Student’s t test for paired samples. The conclusions showed that the students who consolidated the knowledge in the creative dance classes, exhibited significant differences in their learning gains in Mathematics, as compared to the control group.
