Efficacy of virtual reality simulation in teaching basic life support and its retention at 6 months
(MDPI, 2023)
Educational efficiency is the predetermining factor for increasing the survival rate of patients with cardiac arrest. Virtual reality (VR) simulation could help to improve the skills of those undergoing ...
Rapid increase of oral bacteria in nasopharyngeal microbiota after antibiotic treatment in children with invasive pneumococcal disease
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Introduction: Antibiotics are commonly prescribed to young children for treating bacterial infections such as invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. Despite the obvious ...
Beneficial effect of corticosteroids in preventing mortality in patients receiving tocilizumab to treat severe COVID-19 illness
(International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020-12)
Objectives: To assess the characteristics and risk factors for mortality in patients with severe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) treated with tocilizumab (TCZ), alone or in combination with ...
Centromeric signaling proteins boost G1 cyclin degradation and modulate cell size in budding yeast
(Public Library of Science, 2018-08-06)
Cell size scales with ploidy in a great range of eukaryotes, but the underlying mechanisms
remain unknown. Using various orthogonal single-cell approaches, we show that cell size
increases linearly ...
Applicability of quality indicators for appropriate antibiotic use in outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT): a point prevalence survey
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
The ability to measure the quality of antibiotic prescription is a critical element in any antimicrobial stewardship programme. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinimetric properties of 33 ...
L-ferritin: one gene, five diseases; from hereditary hyperferritinemia to hypoferritinemia - report of new cases
(MDPI, 2019)
Ferritin is a multimeric protein composed of light (L-ferritin) and heavy (H-ferritin) subunits that binds and stores iron inside the cell. A variety of mutations have been reported in the L-ferritin ...
Defective in mitotic arrest 1 (Dma1) ubiquitin ligase controls G1 cyclin degradation
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2013-02)
Progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle is controlled by diverse cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) that might be associated to numerous cyclin isoforms. Given such complexity, regulation of ...

(Elsevier, 2021-04-18)
Purpose: To validate the Spanish Low Vision Qualify of Life (SLVQOL) questionnaire, a quality of life instrument specifically designed for patients with visual impairment, and evaluate its psychometric ...
The influence of education on the access tochildhood immunization: the case of Spain
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Background: In order to enhance childhood vaccination uptake and the health consequences for the whole society, there is a need to study predictors that might help in understanding parents’ behaviour ...
Evaluation of the retinal nerve fiber layer Thickness, the mean deviation, and the visual field index in progressive glaucoma
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2016)
PURPOSE: To determine and compare the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, the mean deviation, and the visual field index (VFI) in glaucoma cases with progression detected by spectral domain ...
