Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is adults' most common acute leukemia. Prognostic factors influencing treatment response and patient survival are diverse, the most relevant being those associated with specific cytogenetic and ...
In this doctoral thesis, the epidemiology of cutaneous and mucosal melanoma is analyzed, as well as its molecular profile to provide new knowledge on a population basis in the province of Girona. The cancer registry of ...
Both the prenatal and postnatal environment have a profound impact on the risk for adult diseases. A model of catch-up growth following fetal growth restriction was set in Wistar rats to study changes in the gene expression ...
The SCN5A gene encodes the alpha subunit of the cardiac sodium channel (NaV1.5), which is responsible for the influx of sodium ions through membrane of cardiomyocytes. Different evidences suggest that an aberrant expression ...
In a small region of the island of Gran Canaria, 11 cases of sudden cardiac death (SCD) were registered in emotional or physical stress situations in young individuals between 1994 and 2007 in four seemingly unrelated ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is defined as a natural and unexpected death due to cardiac etiology. In addition, when the cause of death remains unexplained after a complete autopsy, a cardiac arrhythmia is suspected as a ...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, involving a spectrum of disturbances mainly characterized by fatty acid infiltration and fat deposition in the liver ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the existence of demyelinated areas in the central nervous system, infiltration of inflammatory cells in the ...
