INTRODUCTION: Bariatric surgery (CB) is the only treatment option that has proved capable of solving the DM2. In addition to the impact on weight and comorbidities, the CB has shown a great impact on adipose tissue. THEORY: ...
The incidence, time trends and survival of lymphoid neoplasm’s in the Girona province are analyzed from 1996 to 2015. The survival of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (LBDCG) before and after 2004 and estimate incidence rate ...
We performed a descriptive and functional experimental study in various phases of the lateral elbow liamentous complex (LCL), with special relevance to the function of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LCUL). Initially,we ...
Brugada syndrome (SBr) is a cardiac electrical disease associated with a high susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Genetic variants in the coding regions of the SCN5A gene, which encodes for ...
The aim is to demonstrate the utility of magnetic resonance (MR) for identifying subclinical changes associated with the metabolic syndrome (MS) that contribute to increased cardiometabolic risk. The effect of MS on ...
Study of the impact of UGT2B17 and PD-1 on allogeneic transplantation of hematopoietic progenitors (allo-TPH) from HLA-identical related donor. everal genetic factors can favor the development of graft-versus-host disease ...
SCUBA (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) diving is an underwater activity that is practiced with a certain frequency in certain environments and which is very popular nowadays. In this thesis it is proved that ...
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 ...
