Polyphosphate degradation by Nudt3-Zn2+ mediates oxidative stress response
(Elsevier, 2021)
Polyphosphate (polyP) is a polymer of hundreds of phosphate residues present in all organisms. In mammals, polyP is involved in crucial physiological processes, including coagulation, inflammation, and ...
Development of a common scale for measuring healthy ageing across the world: results from the ATHLOS consortium
(Oxford University Press, 2021-06)
Background: Research efforts to measure the concept of healthy ageing have been diverse and limited to specific populations. This diversity limits the potential to compare healthy ageing across countries ...
Rapid molecular syndromic testing for aetiological diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections and targeted antimicrobial prescription: experience from a reference paediatric hospital in Spain
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Aetiological diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections is challenging since a wide range of bacteria, parasites and viruses can be causal agents and derived clinical manifestations appear quite similar. ...
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 ...
Enfermedad neumocócica invasiva en niños menores de 60 meses, antes y después de la introducción de la vacuna conjugada 13-valente
(Elsevier, 2021)
Introducción: La enfermedad neumocócica invasiva (ENI) es la infección bacteriana más relevante en niños pequeños y la introducción de las vacunas antineumocócicas conjugadas (VNC) ha cambiado su ...
Machine learning risk prediction of mortality for patients undergoing surgery with perioperative SARS-CoV-2: the COVIDSurg mortality score
(Oxford University Press, 2021)
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic tens of millions of operations have been cancelled1 as a result of excessive postoperative pulmonary complications (51.2 per cent) and mortality rates (23.8 ...
Methylprednisolone pulses plus tacrolimus in addition to standard of care vs. standard of care alone in patients with severe COVID-19. A randomized controlled trial
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Introduction: Severe lung injury is triggered by both the SARS-CoV-2 infection and the subsequent host-immune response in some COVID-19 patients. Methods: We conducted a randomized, single-center, ...
Self-learning methodology in simulated environments (MAES©) as a learning tool in perioperative nursing. An evidence-based practice model for acquiring clinical safety competencies
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: The self-learning Methodology in Simulated Environments (Spanish acronym: MAES©, (Murcia, Spain) is a type of self-directed and collaborative training in health sciences. The objective of ...
New insights of SF1 neurons in hypothalamic regulation of obesity and diabetes
(MDPI, 2021)
Despite the substantial role played by the hypothalamus in the regulation of energy balance and glucose homeostasis, the exact mechanisms and neuronal circuits underlying this regulation remain poorly ...
Effects of the manual therapy approach of segments C0-1 and C2-3 in the flexion-rotation test in patients with chronic neck pain: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021-01)
Background: Flexion-rotation test predominantly measures rotation in C1-2 segment. Restriction in flexion-rotation may be due to direct limitation in C1-2, but also to a premature tightening of the alar ...
