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. ...
High flow conditioned oxygen therapy for prevention of reintubation in critically ill patients: a preliminary cohort study
(ClinMed International Library, 2015-12-31)

Genomic and serologic characterization ofenterovirus A71 brainstem encephalitis
(Wolters Kluwer, 2020)
Objective: In 2016, Catalonia experienced a pediatric brainstem encephalitis outbreak caused by enterovirus A71 (EV-A71). Conventional testing identified EV in the periphery but rarely in CSF. Metagenomic ...
Immobilization of BMP-2 and VEGF within multilayered polydopamine-coated scaffolds and the resulting osteogenic and angiogenic synergy of co-cultured human mesenchymal stem cells and human endothelial progenitor cells
(MDPI, 2020)
We have previously reported the fabrication of a polycaprolactone and hydroxyapatite composite scaffold incorporating growth factors to be used for bone regeneration. Two growth factors were incorporated ...
Survival benefit of multidisciplinary care in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Spain: association with noninvasive mechanical ventilation
(Dove Press, 2019)
Purpose: Multidisciplinary care has become the preferred model of care for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It is assumed that the sum of interventions associated with this approach ...

(Springer Nature, 2020-10-02)
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is known to be associated with several co-occurring conditions. We aimed at exploring multimorbidity patterns associated with CKD, as well as the impact of ...
Nurr1 protein Is required for N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor-mediated neuronal survival
(Elsevier, 2012-03-30)
NMDA receptor (NMDAR) stimulation promotes neuronal survival during brain development. Cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) need NMDAR stimulation to survive and develop. These neurons differentiate and ...
