Effect of respiratory muscle training in asthma: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2023)Background: The last systematic review about respiratory muscle training (RMT) in people with asthma was published almost 10 years ago. Since then, several works have been published. Objective: To review ... -
Superior gluteal nerve: safe area in hip surgery
(Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2004)Injuries to the superior gluteal nerve are very bad complications in hip surgery. An exact knowledge of its course may be helpful in avoiding such problems. Nineteen half pelvises from ten male and ... -
How to avoid injuries of the superior gluteal nerve
(HIP International, 2018)Background: Injuries to the superior gluteal nerve are a common complication in hip replacement surgery. They can be avoided with a good anatomical knowledge of the course of the superior gluteal nerve. ... -
Multidisciplinary approach to the persistent double distal tendon of the biceps brachii
(Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2014)Purpose: The aim of this study is to correlate the ultrasound (US) appearance of the persistent double or bifid distal tendon of the biceps brachii muscle with anatomical and histological data. This ... -
Anatomical and histological study of human deep fasciae development
(Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2015)Purpose: To characterize the connective tissue found between the subcutaneous adipose tissue and the underlying muscle tissue in different regions and at different stages of human fetal development. We ... -
An anatomical and histological study of the structures surrounding the proximal attachment of the hamstring muscles
(Manual Therapy, 2015)Introduction: The proximal attachment of hamstring muscles has a very high incidence of injuries due to a wide number of factors and its morphology may be one of the underlying factors as scientific ... -
Effectiveness of resilience-based interventions in schools for adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2023)Introduction: Resilience has been identified as a dynamic process that provides capabilities to face adversity. Considering the many protective factors involved in resilience and that the school is a ... -
A teaching role practicum during the COVID-19 for final year nursing students in Spain: A qualitative study
(Journal of Professional Nursing, 2022)Background: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, suspension of face-to-face learning and clinical placements for nursing students in Spain led us to expand and adapt clinical training to a teaching role. ... -

Nonsinusoidal neuronal oscillations: bug or feature?
(Journal of Neurophysiology, 2018)There is compiling evidence suggesting that independent neuronal ensembles are coordinated in time and space through cross-frequency coupling (CFC). However, recent studies have convincingly demonstrated ... -
On the physiological modulation and potential mechanisms underlying parieto-occipital alpha oscillations
(Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2018)The parieto-occipital alpha (8–13 Hz) rhythm is by far the strongest spectral fingerprint in the human brain. Almost 90 years later, its physiological origin is still far from clear. In this Research ... -
The hidden spatial dimension of alpha: 10-Hz perceptual Echoes propagate as periodic traveling waves in the human brain
(Cell Reports, 2019)EEG reverse-correlation techniques have revealed that visual information processing entails a ∼10-Hz (alpha) occipital response that reverberates sensory inputs up to 1 s. However, the spatial distribution ... -
Pinging the brain with visual impulses reveals electrically active, not activity-silent, working memories
(PLOS Biology, 2021)Persistently active neurons during mnemonic periods have been regarded as the mechanism underlying working memory maintenance. Alternatively, neuronal networks could instead store memories in fast ...
