Automatic glaucoma classification using color fundus images based on convolutional neural networks and transfer learning
(Biomedical Optics Express, 2019-02-01)
Glaucoma detection in color fundus images is a challenging task that requires expertise and years of practice. In this study we exploited the application of different Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) ...
Antibiotic-loaded polypropylene surgical meshes with suitable biological behaviour by plasma functionalization and polymerization
(Biomaterials, 2015-12)
Hernia repair is one of the most common operations in general surgery, and its associated complications typically relate to infections, among others. The loading of antibiotics to surgical meshes to ...
Agreement among spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, standard automated perimetry, and stereophotography in the detection of glaucoma progression
(Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 2015-02)
PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the agreement among spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, standard automated perimetry (SAP), and optic disc stereo photography in the detection ...
Differential HMG‐CoA lyase expression in human tissues provides clues about 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaric aciduria
(Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2010)
3‐Hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaric aciduria is a rare human autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl CoA lyase (HL). This mitochondrial enzyme catalyzes the common final ...
Emergency short-stay unit as an effective alternative to in-hospital admission for acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure
(International Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2014-10)
Study Objective: To determine whether a new emergency department short-stay unit (EDSSU) was an effective alternative to conventional hospital units (HU) for acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure ...
Trichoscopy: essentials for the dermatologist
(World Journal of Dermatology, 2015-05-02)
Noninvasive in vivo imaging techniques have become an important diagnostic aid for dermatology. Dermoscopy, also known as dermatoscopy, has been shown to increase the clinician’s diagnostic accuracy ...
Reconfigurable multiplexed point of care system for monitoring type 1 diabetes patients
(Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2019-07)
At the point of care (POC), on-side clinical testing allows fast biomarkers determination even in resource-limited environments. Current POC systems rely on tests selective to a single analyte or complex ...

This is the pre-peer reviewed version of the following article: Monforte‐Royo, C, Crespo, I, Rodríguez‐Prat, A, Marimon, F, Porta‐Sales, J, Balaguer, A. The role of perceived dignity and control in the ...
The transcriptional network activated by Cln3 cyclin at the G1-to-S transition of the yeast cell cycle
(Genome Biology, 2010-06-23)
Background: The G1-to-S transition of the cell cycle in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves an extensive
transcriptional program driven by transcription factors SBF (Swi4-Swi6) and MBF (Mbp1-Swi6). ...
Short-term effect of antibiotics on human gut microbiota
(PLoS ONE, 2014-04-18)
From birth onwards, the human gut microbiota rapidly increases in diversity and reaches an adult-like stage at three years of age. After this age, the composition may fluctuate in response to external ...
