Psychometric Properties of the SymptoMScreen Questionnaire in a Mild Disability Population of Patients with Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: Quantifying the Patient’s Perspective
(Springer, 2020)Crucial elements for achieving optimal long-term outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS) are patient confidence and effective physician-patient communication. Patient-reported instruments may provide the means to fill the gap ... -
Long-term Effect of CPAP Treatment on Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Resistant Hypertension and Sleep Apnea. Data From the HIPARCO-2 Study
(Elsevier, 2020)Background: There is some controversy about the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on the incidence of cardiovascular events (CVE). However, the incidence of CVE among patients with both obstructive sleep ... -
T-Type Calcium Channels: A Potential Novel Target in Melanoma
(MDPI, 2020)T-type calcium channels (TTCCs) are overexpressed in several cancers. In this review, we summarize the recent advances and new insights into TTCC biology, tumor progression, and prognosis biomarker and therapeutic potential ... -
Skin Cancer Prevalence in Outdoor Workers of Ski Resorts
(Hindawi, 2018)Background. Snow reflectivity and altitude increase the exposure of ski resort workers to solar ultraviolet radiation. The aim was to assess the presence of skin cancer in ski resorts workers and compare it with other ... -
Cross-sectional study of the association between empathy and burnout and drug prescribing quality in primary care
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)Objective: The aim of this study was to assess whether burnout and empathy levels among general practitioners (GPs) might influence prescribing performance assessed using pharmaceutical prescription quality standard ... -
Resistant/Refractory Hypertension and Sleep Apnoea: Current Knowledge and Future Challenges
(MDPI, 2019)Hypertension is one of the most frequent cardiovascular risk factors. The population of hypertensive patients includes some phenotypes whose blood pressure levels are particularly difficult to control, thus putting them ... -
Protective role of renal proximal tubular alpha-synuclein in the pathogenesis of kidney fibrosis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020)Kidney fibrosis is a highly deleterious process and a final manifestation of chronic kidney disease. Alpha-(α)-synuclein (SNCA) is an actin-binding neuronal protein with various functions within the brain; however, its ... -
Impact of One-Catheter Strategy with TIG I Catheter on Coronary Catheterization Performance and Economic Costs
(Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia, 2019)Background: Coronary angiography with two catheters is the traditional strategy for diagnostic coronary procedures. TIG I catheter permits to cannulate both coronary arteries, avoiding exchanging catheters during coronary ... -
Design, optimization and validation of genes commonly used in expression studies on DMH/AOM rat colon carcinogenesis model
(PeerJ, 2019-01-29)Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as colon cancer, is the third most common form of cancer worldwide in men and the second in women and is characterized by several genetic alterations, among them the expression of several ... -
Sympathetic Hyperactivity and Sleep Disorders in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes
(Frontiers Media, 2019)Introduction: Many studies on the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on sleep breathing have shown a higher prevalence and severity of sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) in those with T2DM. Moreover, an increased ... -
Depression and Apathy After Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke: Prevalence, Evolution and Predictors
(Nature Research, 2019)Few previous studies have focused on affective impairment after transient ischemic attack (TIA) and/or minor stroke. The aim was to establish the prevalence, evolution and predictors of post-stroke depression (PSD) and ... -
EV-associated miRNAs from pleural lavage as potential diagnostic biomarkers in lung cancer
(Nature Research, 2019)Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men and women in the world, accounting for the 25% of cancer mortality. Early diagnosis is an unmet clinical issue. In this work, we focused to develop a ... -
Genome-Wide Association Study of VKORC1 and CYP2C9 on acenocoumarol dose, stroke recurrence and intracranial haemorrhage in Spain
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020)Acenocoumarol is an oral anticoagulant with significant interindividual dose variations. Variants in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 have been associated with acenocoumarol maintenance dose. We analysed whether any of the 49 polymorphisms ... -
