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. ...
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 ...
