ALCAM shedding at the invasive front of the tumor is a marker of myometrial infiltration and promotes invasion in endometrioid endometrial cancer
(Impact Journals, 2018-03-30)
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the sixth deadliest cancer in women. The depth of myometrial invasion is one of the most important prognostic factors, being directly associated with tumor recurrence and ...
Gender differences in suicidal behavior in adolescents and young adults: systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Objectives: To assess the association between gender and suicide attempt/death and identify gender-specific risk/protective factors in adolescents/young adults. Methods: Systematic review (5 databases ...
Ultrasensitive photonic microsystem enabling sub-micrometric monitoring of arterial oscillations for advanced cardiovascular studies
(Frontiers Media, 2019-07-23)
Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of death globally. Their early diagnosis requires ultrasensitive tools enabling the detection of minor structural and functional alterations in small arteries. ...
Impedimetric antimicrobial peptide-based sensor for the early detection of periodontopathogenic bacteria
(Elsevier, 2016-12-15)
Peri-implantitis, an inflammation caused by biofilm formation, constitutes a major cause of implant failure in dentistry. Thus, the detection of bacteria at the early steps of biofilm growth represents ...
Interventions to improve adherence to reporting guidelines in health research: a scoping review protocol
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2017)
There is evidence that the use of some reporting guidelines, such as the Consolidated Standards for Reporting Trials, is associated with improved completeness of reporting in health research. However, ...
Predicting patient-ventilator asynchronies with hidden markov models
(Springer Nature, 2018-12-04)
In mechanical ventilation, it is paramount to ensure the patient’s ventilatory demand is met while minimizing asynchronies. We aimed to develop a model to predict the likelihood of asynchronies occurring. ...
Antibiotic-loaded polypropylene surgical meshes with suitable biological behaviour by plasma functionalization and polymerization
(Elsevier, 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 ...
Gender differences in labour losses associated with smoking-related mortality
(MDPI, 2019-09-28)
The aim of this paper was to estimate the number of premature deaths, years of potential productive life lost (YPPLL) and labour losses attributable to tobacco smoking due to premature death by gender ...
El principio de precaución y los límites en biomedicina
(Universidad de La Sabana, 2015)
Los actuales avances en tecnología biomédica han alcanzado resultados hasta ahora inimaginables, tanto en la terapia de enfermedades como en el perfeccionamiento de la especie humana. Es necesario ...
A systematic analysis of orphan cyclins reveals CNTD2 as a new oncogenic driver in lung cancer
(Scientific Reports, 2017-08-31)
As lung cancer has increased to the most common cause of cancer death worldwide, prognostic
biomarkers and efective targeted treatments remain lacking despite advances based on patients’
stratifcation. ...
