(NeuroRehabilitation, 2022)BACKGROUND:Telerehabilitation has been proposed as an effective strategy to deliver post-stroke specific exercise. OBJECTIVE:To assess the effectiveness and feasibility of core stability exercises guided ... -
Motor rehabilitation after stroke: European Stroke Organisation (ESO) consensus-based definition and guiding framework
(European Stroke Journal, 2023)Purpose: To propose a consensus-based definition and framework for motor rehabilitation after stroke. Methods: An expert European working group reviewed the literature, attaining internal consensus after ... -
Combined aerobic exercise and high-intensity respiratory muscle training in patients surgically treated for non-small cell lung cancer: a pilot randomized clinical trial
(European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2019)BACKGROUND: Lung resection surgery further decreases exercise capacity and negatively affects respiratory muscle function in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The best design for exercise ... -
Prospective study of shoulder strength, shoulder range of motion, and lymphedema in breast cancer patients from pre-surgery to 5 years after ALND or SLNB
(Supportive Care in Cancer, 2018)Objective: Determine the changes in shoulder strength, shoulder range of motion, and arm volume in breast cancer patients treated with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or axillary lymph node dissection ... -
Respiratory muscle strength training and neuromuscular electrical stimulation in subacute dysphagic stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial
(Clinical Rehabilitation, 2016)Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of inspiratory/expiratory muscle training (IEMT) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to improve dysphagia in stroke. Design: Prospective, single-blind, ... -
Inspiratory and expiratory muscle training in subacute stroke: a randomized clinical trial
(Neurology, 2015)Objective: To assess the effectiveness, feasibility, and safety of short-term inspiratory and expiratory muscle training (IEMT) in subacute stroke patients. Methods: Within 2 weeks of stroke onset, 109 ... -
High-intensity vs. sham inspiratory muscle training in patients with chronic heart failure: a prospective randomized trial
(European Journal of Heart Failure, 2014)Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness, feasibility, and safety of a 4-week high-intensity inspiratory muscle training (hi-IMT) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). ... -
Iron accumulation drives fibrosis, senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype
(Nature Metabolism, 2023)Fibrogenesis is part of a normal protective response to tissue injury that can become irreversible and progressive, leading to fatal diseases. Senescent cells are a main driver of fibrotic diseases ... -
Protocol to quantify polyphosphate in human cell lines using a tagged PPBD peptide
(STAR Protocols, 2022)Polyphosphate (polyP) is an evolutionarily conserved polymer of phosphates that is difficult to study in human cells because of its low concentration and high lability. First, we described how to express ... -
CDK-mediated Yku80 phosphorylation regulates the balance between non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous directed recombination (HDR)
(Journal of Molecular Biology, 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, ... -
Determination of soluble angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in saliva samples and its association with nicotine
(Environmental Research, 2023)Introduction: The Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the main receptor of the SARS-CoV-2. There is contradictory evidence on how the exposure to nicotine may module the concentration of soluble ... -
Exploring the link between MORF4L1 and risk of breast cancer
(Breast Cancer Research, 2011)Introduction: Proteins encoded by Fanconi anemia (FA) and/or breast cancer (BrCa) susceptibility genes cooperate in a common DNA damage repair signaling pathway. To gain deeper insight into this pathway ... -
Targeting DNA repair defects for precision medicine in prostate cancer
(Current Oncology Reports, 2019)Purpose of Review: Genomic studies of localized and metastatic prostate cancer have identified a high prevalence of clinically actionable alterations including mutations in DNA repair genes. In this ... -
Mutations in the RACGAP1 gene cause autosomal recessive congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type III
(Haematologica, 2023)Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type III (CDA III) is one of the rarest types of CDA. The autosomal dominant form of CDA III, is due to mono-allelic mutations in the KIF23 gene (MIM:105600); two ... -
Control of systemic iron homeostasis by the 3’ iron-responsive element of divalent metal transporter 1 in mice
(HemaSphere, 2020)Tight control of intestinal iron absorption is required to avoid both iron insufficiency and excess.1 Dietary nonheme iron is taken up by absorptive enterocytes via the apical iron transporter DMT1 ... -
A mutation in the iron-responsive element of ALAS2 is a modifier of disease severity in a patient suffering from CLPX associated erythropoietic protoporphyria
(Haematologica, 2021)Porphyrias are a group of eight genetically distinct disorders, each resulting from a partial deficiency or gain-offunction of a specific enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway.1 Porphyrias are inherited ... -
The european hematology association roadmap for european hematology research: a consensus document
(Haematologica, 2016)The European Hematology Association (EHA) Roadmap for European Hematology Research highlights major achievements in diagnosis and treatment of blood disorders and identifies the greatest unmet clinical ... -
The actin binding protein profilin 2 is a novel regulator of iron homeostasis
(Blood, 2017)Cellular iron homeostasis is controlled by the iron regulatory proteins (IRPs) 1 and 2 that bind cis-regulatory iron-responsive elements (IRE) on target messenger RNAs (mRNA). We identified profilin 2 ...
