Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia: results of a 54-patient prospective study
2021
The current medical treatments of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) have hardly achieved a satisfying clinical improvement. Biologic regenerative therapies, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in the scalp, have been proposed recently. This multidisciplinary prospective study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of autologous PRP injections into the scalp of patients with AGA. Fifty-four patients with AGA (35 men and 19 women) were enrolled. Non-activated autologous PRP was injected into the androgen-related areas of the scalp. The study protocol consisted of three sessions of injections at 3-month interval. The effects were assessed by means of noninvasive methods. Safety profile, p…
The conflict between woman’s desire for autonomy and her internalization of society’s conservative values in May Sinclair’s "The Three Sisters"
2018
To be a woman in the Edwardian age, was to live a double life, one that was alternately Victorian and modern, repressive and liberating, traditional and radically new. In The Three Sisters Sinclair represented the self-division that can arise from living in a time of transition as the conflict between a character’s expressed desire for autonomy and agency, and her internalization of society’s conservative values. The novel is both a dramatization of subconscious drives and a novel of ideas that exposes the tyranny of the family and of religion. Gwenda, Mary and Alice are all in love with the village doctor, Steven Rowcliffe. The eldest sister, Mary, is the archetypal Angel in the House. Of …
'Climbing Untrodden Paths and Unfrequented Passes'. De-Generation in 'The Buddhist Priest's Wife' by Schreiner, 'A Cross Line' by Egerton and 'The Un…
2013
This essay aims to show how different forms of de-generation in the social construction of fin de siècle female identity prove to be intentional instruments to defy conventional 19th century femininity and generate and circulate new female discoursivities in order to integrate forms of transgression into socially accepted behaviours. As critics have long argued the New Woman -the modern woman emerging from the disruption of the Angel in the House stereotype- has to be treated as a discursive process and a multilayered subject. The analysis of Schreiner’s “The Buddhist Priest’s Wife” (1891), Egerton’s “A Cross Line” (1893), and Grand’s “The Undefinable: A Fantasia” (1894), will highlight the…
Maternal occupation, pregnancy length and low birth weight

Objetivo: Evaluar la relación de la ocupación materna durante el embarazo con el bajo peso en los recién nacidos y con los partos pretérmino. Método: La muestra consistió en 1.341.686 nacimientos pretérmino y 1.217.897 con bajo peso, en España (1996-2000), con información válida sobre ocupación materna procedente del Registro Nacional de Nacimientos. La ocupación materna fue la variable principal codificada por grupos de ocupación (CNO-79), y las de resultados fueron el bajo peso (< 2.500 gramos) y los partos pretérmino (< 37 semanas). Se calcularon las odds ratios (OR) y sus intervalos de confianza al 95% (IC95%), crudas y ajustadas mediante el método no condicional de máxima verosimilitud…

Determinants of self-reported smoking and misclassification during pregnancy, and analysis of optimal cut-off points for urinary cotinine: a cross-se…
2013
10 p. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence and factors associated with smoking and misclassification in pregnant women from INMA (INfancia y Medio Ambiente, Environment and Childhood) project, Spain, and to assess the optimal cut-offs for urinary cotinine (UC) that best distinguish daily and occasional smokers with varying levels of second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure.-- Design: We used logistic regression models to study the relationship between sociodemographic variables and self-reported smoking and misclassification (self-reported non-smokers with UC >50 ng/ml). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to calculate the optimal cut-off point for discriminating smokers. The…
Donna e Guerra Civile in Y, Revista para las mujeres nacional sindicalistas (1938-1945)
2020
The Francoist Regime, in order to legitimize and maintain power until the death of its dictator, aimed to impose a system of values and norms by carrying out activities of control and self-control. With this objective, it intended to modify the mental schemas and the dynamic components of individual identity. In this project, the press played a fundamental role, given its capacity to influence the beliefs and actions of all social agents. In this contest, feminine identity was of special importance and the Women's Section intended to re-construct it in the pages of Y Revista para las mujeres nacional sindicalistas (1938-1945), influencing the ideas and behaviour of Spanish women during the …

Die weiblichen Figuren in Elisabeth Werners Romanen: selbstständige Frauen in nationalen Gewändern
2016
The female characters in Elisabeth Werner's novels: independent women in national costumes This essay examines the following novels of Elisabeth Werner: Ein Held der Feder (1872), Gesprengte Fesseln (1875), Heimatklang and Vineta (1877) and Wege des Schicksals (1909). Elisabeth Werner, pseudonym of Elizabeth Bürstenbinder, was one of the most popular writers of the family magazine ‘Die Gartenlaube’. The interest of research at Werner seems still to be relatively low. However, the extensive literary creation of the writer certainly deserves attention; it appears to be different from diverse points from the usual love and women's novels of the XIX century. This study analyses the female figur…
