Obesity is one of the most important public health problems facing the world today. Gene expression studies applied to fat depots from obese subjects have provided important clues about the pathophysiology of adipose tissue. ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune and neurodegenerative disease characterized by the infiltration of autoreactive immune cells into the central nervous system that leads to axonal damage, ...
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an entity that groups different clinical forms of hereditable cardiac diseases that are associated to ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. The main cases are characterized ...
The gut microbiota (GM) plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of gut homeostasis, and the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The degree of ...
Natural death defines the death primarily attributed to an illness or an internal malfunction of the body, and not directly influenced by external forces. Most causes can be identified directly with macroscopic forensic ...
Although there are therapies for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and epidermal growth factor-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (EGFRm NSCLC), these two subtypes of cancer are very aggressive, and most patients develop ...
Dementia causes progressive cognitive impairment and inability to lead an independent life. Currently, there is no curative treatment for it, and thus primary prevention is essential. Age is the main risk factor for ...
Huntington disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor, cognitive and psychiatric dysfunction. Huntington disease is caused by an expanded CAG trinucleotide repeat at the exon 1 of the IT15 gen, which ...
Introduction Different types of dose calculation algorithms for external beam radiation therapy with MV photons coexist nowadays. The oldest ones are convolution/superposition (C/S), which consider all media as water of ...
Cerebral ischaemia is a potent inducer of gene expression, however, little is known about the mechanisms that regulate this expression. Studies of gene expression and the study of the mechanisms regulating this expression ...
Hallux valgus is a frequent deformity of the first ray of the foot, with progressive abduction and pronation of the first phalanx. At the same time, adduction, elevation, and pronation of the first metatarsal happens ...
The present thesis, aims to study whether the evaluation of the CT through DTI and tractography sequences in the first 12 hours from the ICH onset, is able to predict the motor and functional outcome at 3 months. The ...
La mort sobtada cardíaca (MSC) es defineix com una mort natural, repentina i d’origen cardíac que succeeix durant la primera hora des de l’inici dels símptomes fins el seu desenllaç final. La MSC és la manifestació més ...
Les Síndromes de QT Llarg (SQTL) i de Brugada (SBr) són malalties hereditàries amb un alt risc de mort sobtada cardíaca degut a alteracions elèctriques cardíaques sense cap defecte estructural del cor. Estan relacionades ...
Different studies link the metabolic alterations of obesity with imbalances in neuregulin 4 levels. In this study we hypothesize that signaling of neuregulin isoforms (NRG) produced through ERBB receptors in human adipose ...
The increase of elderly population in Spain is one of the most important challenges for their caregivers, healthcare professionals, and the society in general. The elderly population has the highest incidence rate of ...
Introduction: In the current socioeconomic context, addressing chronic diseases forces us to seek new, more efficient, strategies for complex chronic patients care. Family care can improve complex chronic patient management, ...
The clinical manifestations of Multiple Sclerosis are motor, sensitive, cerebellar and cognitive alterations. It evolves with a high degree of physical and cognitive disability. The “EM-line! Project” has its origins in ...
Introduction and aims: In recent years, public access defibrillation programs have exponentially increased the availability of automatic external defibrillators in public spaces but there are no data on their performance ...
Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a cardiac electrical disease with high susceptibility to sudden cardiac death. Approximately 25-30% of BrS patients are explained by pathogenic variants in coding sequences of cardiac ion channels, ...
