Genetic screening for TLR7 variants in young and previously healthy men with severe COVID-19
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
Introduction: Loss-of-function TLR7 variants have been recently reported in a small number of males to underlie strong predisposition to severe COVID-19. We aimed to determine the presence of these rare ...
Association between kidney function, nutritional status and anthropometric measures in older people: the screening for CKD among older people across Europe (SCOPE) study
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-02)
Background: Different mechanisms connect the nutritional status with the occurrence and the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The end-stage renal disease is complicated by catabolic inflammatory ...

Multidisciplinary approach and long-term follow-up in a series of 640 consecutive patients with sarcoidosis: Cohort study of a 40-year clinical experience at a tertiary referral center in Barcelona, Spain
(Wolters Kluwer, 2017-07)
Cohort studies of large series of patients with sarcoidosis over a long period of time are scarce. The aim of this study is to report a 40-year clinical experience of a large series of patients at ...
Real-world epidemiology of potassium derangements among chronic cardiovascular, metabolic and renal conditions: a population-based analysis
(Dovepress, 2020-09-11)
Background: The aims of the present analysis are to estimate the prevalence of five key chronic cardiovascular, metabolic and renal conditions at the population level, the prevalence of renin–angioten ...

(Springer Nature, 2012-06-28)
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate how hospital capacity was managed focusing on standardizing the admission and discharge processes. Methods: This study was set in a 900-bed university ...
Physicochemical properties of lipoproteins assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance as a predictor of premature cardiovascular disease. PRESARV-SEA study
(MDPI, 2021)
Some lipoprotein disorders related to the residual risk of premature cardiovascular disease (PCVD) are not detected by the conventional lipid profile. In this case-control study, the predictive power ...
Implication between genetic variants from APOA5 and ZPR1 and NAFLD severity in patients with hypertriglyceridemia
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: Lipid metabolism disorders, especially hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), are risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the association between genetic factors related ...
