New cases of hypochromic microcytic anemia due to mutations in the SLC11A2 gene and functional characterization of the G75R mutation
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022)Divalent metal-iron transporter 1 (DMT1) is a mammalian iron transporter encoded by the SLC11A2 gene. DMT1 has a vital role in iron homeostasis by mediating iron uptake in the intestine and kidneys and ... -
Informal caregiving: perceived needs
(Nursing Science Quarterly, 2008)With the increasing population of persons over the age of 65 who need daily assistance in Spain, there is considerable need to better understand informal caregivers' views, particularly about the resources ... -
Factors influencing burden among non-professional immigrant caregivers: a case-control study
(Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2012)Aim: To identify factors related to the burden that is experienced by untrained immigrant caregivers. Background: There is growing concern about how to provide the care required by an ageing population. ... -
Impact of a long-term tobacco-free policy at a comprehensive cancer center: a series of cross-sectional surveys
(BMC Public Health, 2014)Background: Spain has passed two smoke-free laws in the last years. In 2005, the law banned smoking in indoor places, and in 2010 the ban was extended to outdoor areas of certain premises such as ... -
Impact of the Bachelor's thesis on the nursing profession
(Nurse Education Today, 2015)Background: The Bologna Declaration ushered in the reform of higher education in 30 countries of the European Union (EU) and led to the establishment of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), ... -
Interproximal papilla stability around CAD/CAM and stock abutments in anterior regions: a 2-year prospective multicenter cohort study
(The International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry, 2017)The aim of this study was to compare the interproximal papilla stability of restorations supported by computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) abutments to those supported by ... -
Efficacy of adjunctive Er, Cr:YSGG laser application following scaling and root planing in periodontally diseased patients
(The International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry, 2016)The application of laser as a monotherapy has been shown to reduce probing pocket depths and increase clinical attachment levels after treatment of patients suffering from chronic periodontitis. Its ... -
Bone-level changes around implants with 1- or 3-mm-high abutments and their relation to crestal mucosal thickness: a 1-year randomized clinical trial
(Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 2021)Aim: To evaluate 1-year bone-level changes around subcrestal platform-switching implants with 1 or 3 mm definitive abutments. The influence of mucosal thickness on bone-level alterations was further ... -
Radiographic and histological evaluation of deproteinized bovine bone mineral vs. deproteinized bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen in ridge preservation. A randomized controlled clinical trial
(Clinical Oral Implants Research, 2016)Objectives: The aims of this randomized clinical trial were to compare the dimensional changes and the histological composition after using deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) or deproteinized ... -
Inferior subapical osteotomy for dentoalveolar decompensation of class III malocclusion in ‘surgery-first’ and ‘surgery-early’ orthognathic treatment
(International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2017)Increasing experience with alternative timing protocols in orthognathic surgery has given way to new surgical and orthodontic techniques to shorten treatment times, reduce biological costs, and improve ... -
Interposition of a connective tissue graft or a collagen matrix to enhance wound stability – an experimental study in dogs
(Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 2016)Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of a connective tissue graft (CTG) or a collagen matrix (CM) interpositioned between flaps and non-shedding hard surfaces on wound stability. Material ... -
Finite element analysis relative to the crestal position of a 3.0-mm-diameter implant
(The International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry, 2014)It has been shown that implant designs and different vertical positions have an influence on crestal bone. The purpose of this study was to use finite element (FE) analysis to biomechanically investigate ... -
Iron regulatory protein-1 and -2: transcriptome-wide definition of binding mRNAs and shaping of the cellular proteome by iron regulatory proteins
(Blood, 2011)Iron regulatory proteins (IRPs) 1 and 2 are RNA-binding proteins that control cellular iron metabolism by binding to conserved RNA motifs called iron-responsive elements (IREs). The currently known ... -
Iron refractory iron deficiency anemia
(Haematologica, 2013)Iron refractory iron deficiency anemia is a hereditary recessive anemia due to a defect in the TMPRSS6In vitro gene encoding Matriptase-2. This protein is a transmembrane serine protease that plays an ... -
Functional and clinical impact of novel Tmprss6 variants in iron-refractory iron-deficiency anemia patients and genotype–phenotype studies
(Human Mutation, 2014)Iron-refractory iron-deficiency anemia (IRIDA) is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by hypochromic microcytic anemia, low transferrin saturation, and inappropriate high levels of the ... -
Population screening for hemochromatosis: a study in 5370 Spanish blood donors
(Journal of Hepatology, 2003)Background/Aims: Hereditary hemochromatosis is associated with homozygosity for C282Y mutation in the HFE gene, elevated serum transferrin saturation and excess iron deposits throughout the body. We ... -
An Hfe-dependent pathway mediates hyposideremia in response to lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in mice
(Nature Genetics, 2004)Inflammation influences iron balance in the whole organism. A common clinical manifestation of these changes is anemia of chronic disease (ACD; also called anemia of inflammation). Inflammation reduces ... -
