ISPUP and INESC TEC part of European project to benefit children and adults born preterm |
|
|
The project, funded by Horizon 2020 and in which 20 institutions from 12 countries participated, sought to understand the risk factors associated with prematurity through the combined analysis of data from a fairly large number of individuals who were born preterm in Europe and who have been followed over several years in cohort studies. |

High-impact exercise shown to help increase bone mass in adolescence |
|
|
An ISPUP study found that high-impact exercise, such as running and football, can contribute to increased bone mass in adolescence. The researchers found that the benefits of exercise are not only felt in the bones directly subject to the impact of physical activity, but also in those that are not. Thus, high-impact exercise promotes overall improvement in bone mass levels. |

What criteria do veterinarians use when prescribing antimicrobials to pets? |
|
|
An ISPUP study found that most Portuguese veterinarians do not use specific protocols when prescribing antimicrobials to pets. The prescription is made empirically, through analysis of the animal's symptoms and without resorting to any examinations that prove the need to prescribe these drugs. |
