Early short-term postoperative mechanical failures of current ceramic-on-ceramic bearing total hip arthroplasties
(MDPI, 2020)
Although ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings have been shown to produce the smallest amount of wear volume in vitro as well as in vivo studies when used for total hip arthroplasties (THA), concerns about ...
Applying qualitative research to develop a guide for parents of newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
(Sage Journals, 2020-05-07)
Moderate-to-severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a significant cause of neonatal mortality and permanent disability in surviving newborns. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the only effective ...
Vitrectomy for endophthalmitis in eyes with osteokeratoprosthesis
(Wolters Kluwer, 2020)
Purpose: To analyze functional and anatomical results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) to treat endophthalmitis in eyes with osteokeratoprosthesis. Methods: An observational, retrospective study of five ...
Gender differences in health-related quality of life in patients with systolic heart failure: results of the VIDA multicenter study
(MDPI, 2020-08-31)
Previous studies have shown that heart failure is associated with worse health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The existence of differences according to gender remains controversial. We studied 1028 ...
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 ...
Serotype and clonal distribution dynamics of invasive pneumococcal strains after PCV13 introduction (2011-2016): surveillance data from 23 sites in Catalonia, Spain
(Public Library of Science, 2020-02)
Background: The objective of this study is to describe incidence and shifts of serotype and clonal distribution of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae strains in four different age groups (<5 years, 5–17 ...
CDK-mediated Yku80 phosphorylation regulates the balance between non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous directed recombination (HDR)
(Elsevier, 2020)
There are two major pathways for repairing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs): homologous directed recombination (HDR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ). While NHEJ functions throughout the cell cycle, ...
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 ...
Gender differences in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia severity
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Background: Gender differences in organ involvement and clinical severity have been poorly described in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). The aim of this study was to describe differences in ...
Study design of heart failure events reduction with remote monitoring and eHealth support (HERMeS)
(John Wiley & Sons, 2020)
Aims: The role of non‐invasive telemedicine (TM) combining telemonitoring and teleintervention by videoconference (VC) in patients recently admitted due to heart failure (HF) (‘vulnerable phase’ HF ...
