The objectives of the thesis are to estimate the prevalence of pathological arterial stiffness (measured with the Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index –CAVI-) in a general Mediterranean population and in a Mediterranean intermediate ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice and implies a huge social, medical, and economical burden. Analyses of AF risk factors in certain groups of population would allow tailored ...
INTRODUCTION: Anastomotic leak (AL) is the most dreadful and life-threatening complication in colon cancer (CC) surgery. It is associated to an increase of morbimortality, longer hospital stay, increased healthcare costs ...
In this thesis,the association of FASN (fatty acid synthase) expression with clinicopathological and anthropometric characteristics in breast cancer patients is studied to find out FASN role as a prognostic in early stage ...
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents 20% of breast cancer and patients receive only general chemotherapy. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is commonly expressed in TNBC and it is associated with poor ...
More than half of spinal cord injury patients develop central neuropathic pain, which is largely refractory to current treatments. Developing neuropathic pain has a high impact on the quality of life becoming an emotional, ...
Increased metabolic disease in children is a major public health problem.. Epigenetic marks, such as microRNAs, could be one of the mechanisms that regulate the association maternal obesity with the development of metabolic ...
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system which has an unknown aetiology and an autoimmune mechanism. Two pathogenic processes, inflammation and neurodegeneration, converge causing a progressive ...
The aim of this thesis was to identify transcriptional regulators involved in the modulation of ischaemia, as well as brain plasticity processes responsible for compensating the ischaemic lesions, in order to establish the ...
To gain insight in the relationship between innate immune system and metabolic disease, we aimed to investigate the effects of lactoferrin in obesity-related metabolic disturbances. Circulating lactoferrin concentration ...
The algorithm for calculating absorbed dose in external radiotherapy Acuros XB (AXB), based on the solution of the Boltzmann equation, has shown to achieve a higher level of accuracy than the preceding convolution/superposition ...
Adiponectin is a protein secreted by adipose tissue which possesses insulin-sensitivity and anti-atherosclerotic properties. In this work, we will study if high molecular weight adiponectin is a key molecule in the association ...
The protocol followed in this thesis is to indicate the EAC according to the NASCET criteria. Closure of the arteriotomy with patch. The criteria to indicate this have been based on an original method, which takes into ...
The thickness of epicartic fat can be directly measured by transthoracic echocardiography. Epicartic fat has recently been associated with the onset of atrial fibrillation (AF). In this work we will analyze the relationship ...
La evidencia científica sugiere que la enfermedad arteriosclerótica tiene su origen en edades tempranas de la vida y su progresión está determinada por la suma de factores de riesgo cardiovascular, como la obesidad o el ...
The "Macular Projector" MAP, designed by us, is so effective, reliable and predictive as the Guyton-Minkowski PAMÒ and Retinometer Heine Lambda 100 in the assessment of potential visual acuity. The PAM has the advantage, ...
The evidence available in the medical literature is conclusive that the risk-benefit relationship of the current medications for Alzheimer's disease is not favourable. This risk-benefit relationship is not significantly ...
Despite notable advances in health promotion over the past decades, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, with obesity being a rising contributor of it. Cardiovascular risk factors appear in ...
Introduction: Hypertension is the common cardiovascular risk factor and affects 20 to 50% of the population. Treatment, with drugs or not, involves improving lifestyle. Olive leaf extract has traditionally been taken to ...
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. ...
