A 3-biomarker 2-point-based risk stratification strategy in acute heart failure
(Frontiers, 2021-10-22)[Abstract] Introduction and Objectives: Most multi-biomarker strategies in acute heart failure (HF) have only measured biomarkers in a single-point time. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic yielding of NT-proBNP, ... -
A combined transcriptomic and genomic analysis identifies a gene signature associated with the response to anti-TNF therapy in rheumatoid arthritis
(Frontiers, 2019-07-02)[Abstract] Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most frequent autoimmune disease involving the joints. Although anti-TNF therapies have proven effective in the management of RA, approximately one third of patients ... -
A Comparative Study of Doppler Ultrasound Against Temporal Artery Biopsy in the Diagnosis of Giant Cell Arteritis
(Elsevier, 2020-08-13)[Abstract] Background. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a vasculitis that affects medium- and large-sized arteries. Temporal artery biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis. In view of the high demand for temporal biopsies, ... -
A comprehensive characterization of acute heart failure with preserved versus mildly reduced versus reduced ejection fraction - insights from the ESC-HFA EORP Heart Failure Long-Term Registry
(Wiley, 2021-12-27)[Abstract] Aims: To perform a comprehensive characterization of acute heart failure (AHF) with preserved (HFpEF), versus mildly reduced (HFmrEF) versus reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods and results: Of 5951 ... -
A Computational Model of Cuneothalamic Projection Neurons
(Taylor and Francis, 2003)[Abstract] The dorsal column nuclei, cuneatus and gracilis, play a fundamental role in the processing and integration of somesthetic ascending information. Intracellular and patch-clamp recordings obtained in cat in vivo ... -
A Didactic Unit for the Evaluation of the Use of Assistive Technology for Access to Computers in Occupational Therapy
(Wolters Kluwer, 2021-11-19)[Abstract] Assistive technology (AT) is an umbrella term that refers to different devices that facilitate the performance of activity for people. Future occupational therapists (OT) must acquire specific competencies to ... -
A Framework for a New Approach to Empower Users Through Low-Cost and Do-It-Yourself Assistive Technology
(MDPI, 2021-03-16)[Abstract] Background: Assistive Technology (AT) refers to “assistive products and related systems and services developed for people to maintain or improve functioning and thereby to promote well-being”. Improving the ... -
A functional variant of TLR10 modifies the activity of NFkB and may help predict a worse prognosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(Springer, 2016-10-04)[Abstract] Background. Toll-like receptor (TLR) family members are key players in inflammation. TLR10 has been poorly studied in chronic inflammatory disorders, and its clinical relevance in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is ... -
A Meta-Analysis of Genome-Wide Association Studies Identifies Novel Variants Associated with Osteoarthritis of the Hip
(BMJ, 2013-08-29)[Abstract] OBJECTIVES: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis with a clear genetic component. To identify novel loci associated with hip OA we performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies ... -
A model for prediction of in-hospital mortality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage
(Springer, 2020-07-15)[Abstract] Background: Despite being a rare cause of stroke, spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with high mortality rates. The prediction models that are currently being used on SAH patients are ... -
A multitrait genetic study of hemostatic factors and hemorrhagic transformation after stroke treatment
(Elsevier, 2023-12-15)[Abstract] Background: Thrombolytic recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) treatment is the only pharmacologic intervention available in the ischemic stroke acute phase. This treatment is associated with an ... -
A new scenario in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: a SOG‑GU consensus
(Springer, 2020-02-15)[Abstract] Background This article describes and compares approved targeted therapies and the newer immunotherapy agents. Materials and methods This article especially performs an in-depth review of currently available ... -
A non-secreting pituitary adenoma that changed to a prolactinoma
(MDPI, 2024-07-04)[Abstract] Pituitary adenomas (PAs) are the third most common brain tumors in adults right after meningiomas and gliomas. Taking into account their hormonal activity in vivo, they can be divided in functioning PAs, which ... -
A novel procedure for protein extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues
(Wiley, 2011-05-18)[Abstract] Most of the archived pathological specimens in hospitals are kept as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues (FFPE) for long-term preservation. Up to now, these samples are only used for immunohistochemistry ... -
A pharmacoproteomic study confirms the synergistic effect of chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine
(Nature, 2014-06-10)[Abstract] Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common age-related rheumatic disease. Chondrocytes play a primary role in mediating cartilage destruction and extracellular matrix (ECM) breakdown, which are main features of the ... -
A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Aquatic-Based Activities in a Group Occupational Therapy Program for Adults Living With Serious Mental Illness in Spain
(Wiley, 2021-08-17)[Abstract] Although aquatic-based interventions are increasingly used in the psychiatric rehabilitation services, the effects of this type of community program as an adjuvant therapy for psychosocial problems of people ... -
A predictive clinical-genetic model of tissue plasminogen activator response in acute ischemic stroke
(John Wiley & Sons, 2012-06-09)[Abstract] Objective: Wide interindividual variability exists in response to tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) treatment in the acute phase of ischemic stroke. We aimed to find genetic variations associated with hemorrhagic ... -
