Transcultural adaptation and validation of the ' Hip and Knee ' questionnaire into Spanish
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the present study is to translate and validate the 'Hip and Knee Outcomes Questionnaire', developed in English, into Spanish. The 'Hip and Knee Outcomes Questionnaire is a questionnaire planned ...
Elbow extensor muscles in humans and chimpanzees: adaptations to different uses of the upper extremity in hominoid primates
The anatomical and functional characteristics of the elbow extensor muscles (triceps brachii and anconeus) have not been widely studied in non-human hominoid primates, despite their great functional importance. In the ...
Cord blood cardiovascular biomarkers in left-sided congenital heart disease.
Fetal echocardiography has limited prognostic ability in the evaluation of left-sided congenital heart defects (left heart defects). Cord blood cardiovascular biomarkers could improve the prognostic evaluation of left heart ...
Metabolic profiling and targeted lipidomics reveals a disturbed lipid profile in mothers and fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction
Fetal growth may be impaired by poor placental function or maternal conditions, each of which can influence the transfer of nutrients and oxygen from the mother to the developing fetus. Large-scale studies of metabolites ...
Congenital cytomegalovirus awareness and knowledge among health professionals and pregnant women: an action towards prevention
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a major cause of childhood disabilities, and consensus recommendations emphasize the importance of hygienic measures to reduce perinatal infection. Our study aimed to evaluate the level of awareness ...
Risk of contagion of SARS-CoV-2 among otorhinolaryngologists in Spain during the 'Two waves'.
Introduction The aim of our study was to obtain data about the contagion rate among Otolaryngologists in Spanish ENT Departments and about the clinical outcomes in positive otolaryngologists. As a secondary objective, we ...
Economic impact of ovarian stimulation antagonist protocol vs primed progesterone protocol in oocyte donor program: A retrospective study,
Objective: To assess the cost-effectiveness of two ovarian stimulation procedures comparing the use of FSH antagonists with the use of FSH progestin primed controlled ovarian stimulation in an oocyte donor program. Design: ...
A two dimensional electromechanical model of a cardiomyocyte to assess intra-cellular regional mechanical heterogeneities.
Experimental studies on isolated cardiomyocytes from different animal species and human hearts have demonstrated that there are regional differences in the Ca2+ release, Ca2+ decay and sarcomere deformation. Local deformation ...
Entrevista clínica a l'adolescent a urgències. Quan tot sol?
RESUM Fonament. Durant l'adolescència es passa de ser una persona dependent de l'estructura familiar a ser independent, capaç de prendre decisions sobre la salut. Objectiu. Valorar la informació que els adolescents són ...
Postnatal genetic and neurodevelopmental assessment in infants born at term with severely low birth weight of non-placental origin
Objective: To determine the frequency of genetic syndromes and childhood neurodevelopmental impairment in non-malformed infants born at term with severely low birth weight and no evidence of placental insufficiency. Methods: ...
Gene variation impact on prostate cancer progression: lymphocyte modulator, activation and cell adhesion gene variant contribution
Background: The view of prostate cancer (PCa) progression as a result of the interaction of epithelial cancer cells with the host's immune system is supported by the presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). TILs ...
Disruptors endocrins: impacte a la salut femenina
Un disruptor endocrí (DE) és qualsevol compost químic contaminant del medi ambient que un cop incorporat a un organisme, afecta l'equilibri hormonal del mateix. Els DE són diferents tipus de substàncies químiques usades ...
PiwiRNA-651 as marker of treatment response and survival in classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
PiwiRNAs, small non-coding RNAs processed by Piwi proteins, are involved in maintaining genome stability in germline cells. Recently, piwiRNA expression has been identified in some tumors. We have examined the potential ...
Presència dels pares durant els procediments invasius als serveis d'urgències pediàtriques. Què passa a l'Estat espanyol?
Background. The importance of parental involvement during invasive procedures (IP) in Pediatric Emergency Departments (PED) has been documented. Objective. 1) To determine the frequency of parental presence during different ...
Therapeutic education and functional readaptation in obese patients on a waiting list for total knee replacement. A case-control study
Background Studies show patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) on waiting list for total knee replacement (TKR) underused conservative treatment, did not adhere to clinical guidelines on knee OA management, and potentially ...
Quantitative analysis of the carpal tunnel and its inner structures in primates
To explore the anatomical factors potentially involved in the high incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome in humans, we have quantified the anatomical variations of the carpal tunnel and its inner structures in humans, ...
Hemopexin and α1-microglobulin heme scavengers with differential involvement in preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction
Hemopexin and α1-microglobulin act as scavengers to eliminate free heme-groups responsible for hemoglobin-induced oxidative stress. The present study evaluated maternal and fetal plasma concentrations of these scavengers ...
In Vivo Detection of Perinatal Brain Metabolite Changes in a Rabbit Model of Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR)
Background Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a risk factor for abnormal neurodevelopment.We studied a rabbit model of IUGR by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS), to assess in vivo brain structural ...
Machine learning-driven blood biomarker profiling and EGCG intervention in fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition caused by prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE), often underdiagnosed due to heterogeneous symptoms and diagnostic challenges. This study aimed ...
Low birth weight as a potential risk factor for severe COVID-19 in adults
The identification of factors predisposing to severe COVID-19 in young adults remains partially characterized. Low birth weight (LBW) alters cardiovascular and lung development and predisposes to adult disease. We hypothesized ...
