Effects of diacutaneous fibrolysis on passive neuromuscular response and mechanosensitivity in athletes with hamstring shortening: a randomized controlled trial
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021)Introduction. Diacutaneous Fibrolysis is defined as specific instrumental intervention to normalize function in the musculoskeletal system. It is considered a treatment method for the mechanical alterations ... -
Task-dependent modulation of the visual sensory thalamus assists visual-speech recognition
(NeuroImage, 2018-09)The cerebral cortex modulates early sensory processing via feed-back connections to sensory pathway nuclei. The functions of this top-down modulation for human behavior are poorly understood. Here, we ... -
Determining the value of two biologic drugs for chronic inflammatory skin diseases: results of a multi-criteria decision analysis
(BioDrugs, 2018)Background and Objective: Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a tool that systematically considers multiple factors relevant to health decision-making. The aim of this study was to use an MCDA ... -

Mineralization of titanium surfaces: biomimetic implants
(Materials, 2021)The surface modification by the formation of apatitic compounds, such as hydroxyapatite, improves biological fixation implants at an early stage after implantation. The structure, which is identical to ... -
New insights of SF1 neurons in hypothalamic regulation of obesity and diabetes
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 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 ... -
Evaluation of the immunomodulatory effects of cobalt, copper and magnesium ions in a pro inflammatory environment
(Scientific Reports, 2021)Biomaterials and scaffolds for Tissue Engineering are widely used for an effective healing and regeneration. However, the implantation of these scaffolds causes an innate immune response in which the ... -
Association of baseline CD4+ cell count and HIV-RNA on sustained virologic response to interferon-ribavirin in HIV/HCV coinfected patients
(Annals of Hepatology, 2015)Background and rationale for the study. We assessed the association of CD4+ T-cell counts and HIV-RNA onsustained viral response (SVR) after therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin (PR) in HIV/HCV ... -
Prevalence of hepatitis E infection in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients in Spain (2012–2014)
(Scientific Reports, 2019)Hepatitis E virus (HEV) has emerged as a relevant pathogen for HIV-infected patients. However, there is scarce data on HEV infection in HIV/HCV-coinfected individuals with advanced fibrosis, which seems ... -
Dysregulation of the immune system in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients according to liver stiffness status
(Cells, 2018)Background: Advanced cirrhosis is related to alterations in immunity. We aimed to evaluate the levels of peripheral CD4+ T cells (Tregs) and plasma cytokine in patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency ... -
Human immunodeficiency virus/hepatits C virus coinfection in Spain: elimination Is feasible, but the burden of residual cirrhosis will be significant
(Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2018-01)Background: We assessed the prevalence of antibodies against hepatitis C virus (HCV-Abs) and active HCV infection in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Spain in 2016 and compared ... -
Eradication of hepatitis C virus and non-liver-related non–acquired immune deficiency syndrome–related events in human immunodeficiency virus/hepatitis C virus coinfection
(Hepatology, 2017)We assessed non-liver-related non–acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related (NLR-NAR) events and mortalityin a cohort of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV)–coinfected ... -
Boceprevir plus pegylated interferon/ribavirin to re-treat hepatitis C virus genotype 1 in HIV–HCV co-infected patients: final results of the Spanish BOC HIV–HCV Study
(International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016-12)Introduction: Boceprevir (BOC) was one of the first oral inhibitors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 protease to be developed. This study assessed the safety and efficacy of BOC + pegylated interferon-α ... -
Unravelling the encapsulation of DNA and other biomolecules in HAp microcalcifications of human breast cancer tissues by raman imaging
(Cancers, 2021)Microcalcifications are detected through mammography screening and, depending on their morphology and distribution (BI-RADS classification), they can be considered one of the first indicators of suspicious ... -
Computational modeling as a tool to investigate PPI: from drug design to tissue engineering
(Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021)Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) mediate a large number of important regulatory pathways. Their modulation represents an important strategy for discovering novel therapeutic agents. However, the ... -
