C-reactive protein and other predictors of poor outcome in patients hospitalized with exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(Wiley, 2008)Background and objective: CRP is elevated in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD), but there is little information on whether this biomarker can help to identify adverse short-term clinical outcomes. Methods: ... -
Cadherin expression delineates the divisions of the postnatal and adult mouse amygdala
(Wiley, 2012)The amygdaloid complex represents a group of telencephalic nuclei and cortical areas that control emotional and social behavior. Amygdalar development is poorly understood. It is generally accepted that the structures of ... -
Cadmium exposure during pregnancy and lactation: materno-fetal and newborn repercussions of Cd(II), and Cd–metallothionein complexes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)Cadmium (Cd) is a non-physiological heavy metal that can be harmful at low concentrations. Increasing anthropogenic activities are incrementing the risk of accumulation of this heavy metal in different organs and tissues ... -
Calcium channel expression and applicability as targeted therapies in melanoma
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)The remodeling of Ca2+ signaling is a common finding in cancer pathophysiology serving the purpose of facilitating proliferation, migration, or survival of cancer cells subjected to stressful conditions. One particular ... -
Calcium phosphate product is associated with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2017)Aims. To assess whether circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25OHD) and mineral metabolism-related factors (serum phosphate, calcium, and parathormone) are associated with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis (SCA), defined ... -
Calcium-binding proteins, neuronal nitric oxide synthase, and GABA help to distinguish different pallial areas in the developing and adult chicken. I. Hippocampal formation and hyperpallium
(Wiley, 2006)To better understand the formation and adult organization of the avian pallium, we studied the expression patterns of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), calbindin (CB), calretinin (CR), and neuronal nitric oxide synthase ... -
Calculation of iris-claw IOL power for correction of late in-the-bag IOL complex dislocation
(BMC, 2017)Background: To assess the constants and formula for aphakia correction with iris-claw IOLs to achieve the best refractive status in cases of late in-the-bag IOL complex dislocation. Methods: A literature search was performed. ... -
Calidad de vida global en personas con demencia
(Viguera Editores, 2011)Evaluar la calidad de vida (CV) global en personas con demencia e investigar las variables asociadas con la percepción subjetiva de la CV. -
Caloric restriction reveals a lipidomic and metabolomic signature in liver of male mice
(John Wiley & SonsAnatomical Society, 2014-10-01)Lipid composition, particularly membrane unsaturation, has been proposed as being a lifespan determinant, but it is currently unknown whether caloric restriction (CR), an accepted life-extending intervention, affects ... -
Calpain activation and CaMKIV reduction in spinal cords from hSOD1G93A mouse model
(Elsevier, 2014)Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a severe neurodegenerative disease, affects the upper and lower motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. In some studies, ALS disease progression has been associatedwith an increase ... -
Calpain Inhibition Increases SMN Protein in Spinal Cord Motoneurons and Ameliorates the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Phenotype in Mice
(Springer Verlag, 2018)Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a leading genetic cause of infant death, is caused by the loss of survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. SMA is characterized by the degeneration and loss of spinal cord motoneurons (MNs), ... -
Calpain system is altered in survival motor neuron-reduced cells from in vitro and in vivo spinal muscular atrophy models
(Springer Nature, 2020-06-25)Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neuromuscular disorder caused by loss of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. SMA is characterized by the degeneration of spinal cord motoneurons (MNs), progressive skeletal ... -
Can eukaryotic cells monitor the presence of unreplicated DNA?
(BioMed Central, 2007)Completion of DNA replication before mitosis is essential for genome stability and cell viability. Cellular controls called checkpoints act as surveillance mechanisms capable of detecting errors and blocking cell cycle ... -
Capecitabine and bevacizumab as first-line treatment in elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
(Nature Publishing GroupCancer Research UK, 2010)BACKGROUND: The efficacy and safety of capecitabine and bevacizumab in elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) considered unsuitable for receiving first-line chemotherapy with an irinotecan or oxaliplatin-based ... -
Capecitabine and irinotecan with bevacizumab 2-weekly for metastatic colorectal cancer: the phase II AVAXIRI study
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: The optimal sequence of chemotherapeutic agents is not firmly established for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). This phase II multi-centre study investigated the efficacy and tolerability ... -

Cardiac troponin values in patients with acute coronary syndrome and sleep apnea: a pilot study
(Elsevier, 2018)Background: An analysis of cardiac injury markers in patients with OSA who sustain an episode of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may contribute to a better understanding of the interactions and impact of OSA in subjects with ... -
Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by Endonuclease G deficiency requires reactive oxygen radicals accumulation and is inhibitable by the micropeptide humanin.
(Elsevier, 2018-03-01)The endonuclease G gene (Endog), which codes for a mitochondrial nuclease, was identified as a determinant of cardiac hypertrophy. How ENDOG controls cardiomyocyte growth is still unknown. Thus, we aimed at finding the ... -
