1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 regulates VEGF production through a vitamin D response element in the VEGF promoter
(Elsevier, 2009)In previous studies we have demonstrated that the active form of vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3) increases vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and release in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in vitro. However, ... -
A Case Report of Lymphocytic Hypophysitis Related to Pregnancy
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015)A 39-year-old woman consulted in the postpartum period because of agalactia, polyuria, polydipsia, and headache and decreased visual acuity. The initial analysis was compatible with a panhypopituitarism. The magnetic ... -
A Custom Target Next-Generation Sequencing 70-Gene Panel and Replication Study to Identify Genetic Markers of Diabetic Kidney Disease
(MDPI, 2021)Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has been pointed out as a prominent cause of chronic andend-stage renal disease (ESRD). There is a genetic predisposition to DKD, although clinically relevantloci are yet to be identified. We ... -
A low fractional excretion of Phosphate/Fgf23 ratio is associated with severe abdominal Aortic calcification in stage 3 and 4 kidney disease patients
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Vascular calcification (VC) contributes to high mortality rates in chronic kidney disease (CKD). High serum phosphate and FGF23 levels and impaired phosphaturic response to FGF23 may affect VC. Therefore, ... -
A New Gender-Specific Formula to Estimate 24-Hour Urine Protein from Protein to Creatinine Ratio
(Karger, 2016-07-20)Background: The quantification of proteinuria with the protein to creatinine ratio (PCR) is influenced by the excretion of creatinine, which, in turn, varies according to muscle mass and hence, to gender. Aims: To assess ... -
A Non-digestible Fraction of the Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Induces Cell Cycle Arrest and Apoptosis During Early Carcinogenesis
(Springer, 2014-06-21)We have previously demonstrated that the non-digestible fraction (NDF) from common cooked beans (P. vulgaris L., cv Negro 8025) inhibits azoxymethane (AOM) induced colon cancer and influences the expression of genes involved ... -
A pilot study on the diagnostic accuracy of proadrenomedullin and proatrial natriuretic Peptide in lower respiratory tract infections
(Bentham Open, 2014)Abstract: Background: Pneumonia is the leading cause of death among infectious diseases in developed countries. However, the severity of pneumonia requiring hospitalization often makes the initial diagnosis difficult ... -
A prospective cross-sectional study on quality of life and treatment satisfaction in type 2 diabetic patients with retinopathy without other major late diabetic complications
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: To assess quality of life and treatment satisfaction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic retinopathy (DR) using validated instruments, with comparison to patients without DR. Methods: A ... -
A prospective pilot study using metabolomics discloses specific fatty acid, catecholamine and tryptophan metabolic pathways as possible predictors for a negative outcome after severe trauma
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2019-05-22)Background: We wanted to define metabolomic patterns in plasma to predict a negative outcome in severe trauma patients. Methods: A prospective pilot study was designed to evaluate plasma metabolomic patterns, established ... -
A prospective study examining cachexia predictors in patients with incurable cancer
(BioMed Central, 2019)Background: Early intervention against cachexia necessitates a predictive model. The aims of this study were to identify predictors of cachexia development and to create and evaluate accuracy of a predictive model based ... -
A Review of Clinical Studies and Practical Guide for the Administration of Triplet Chemotherapy Regimens with Bevacizumab in First-line Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
(Springer, 2016)Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide. A significant proportion of patients presents with unresectable metastatic disease or develops metachronous metastases following surgical resection of the primary ... -
A Simple Scoring System to Differentiate Bacterial from Viral Infections in Acute Exacerbations of COPD Requiring Hospitalization
(Dove Press, 2022)Objective: Both bacteria and viruses may cause acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). The objective of this study was to identify readily available clinical parameters to discriminate between ... -

(Sociedad Española de Medicina de Urgencias y Emergencias (SEMES), 1997)Presentamos un caso de accidente de tráfico con múltiples víctimas, ocurrido en una zona rural de montaña del Pirineo Leridano. Se analiza la relación de heridos y su distribución y se estudia la coordinación sanitaria ... -
Acetylsalicylic acid prevents intermittent hypoxia-induced vascular remodeling in a murine model of sleep apnea
(Frontiers Media, 2018)Study objectives: Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), a hallmark feature of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), induces accelerated atherogenesis as well as aorta vascular remodeling. Although the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway ... -
