TEMPORAL CHANGES IN RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS/DISEASES AND ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS IN REAL LIFE
Background: The prevalence of respiratory diseases increased during last centuries and the rapid rise in the prevalence of such diseases cannot be explained by genetic factors. Analyses on general population samples investigated at interval of some years can permit to better comprehend these increases and the associated risk factors, adding new evidences on this important item taking into account the real life setting. Aims: to assess real life temporal changes in respiratory diseases/symptoms (asthma, allergic rhinitis - AR - and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - COPD) and associated risk factors in general population samples investigated during a period of 30 years. Methods: a gener…
Independence and involvement : an actor-perspective on building intercultural local societies in a globalised, postmodern world

Trasplante autólogo de médula ósea en ovario en mujeres con baja reserva ovárica y fallo ovárico precoz, para rejuvenecimiento del nicho ovárico y fa…
2020
Como consecuencia del retraso de la maternidad a causa de las tendencias sociales actuales, existe una disminución de la calidad y cantidad de ovocitos disponibles. Al problema fisiológico de la edad materna avanzada, se suman dos patologías, que asocian una baja reserva ovárica, en pacientes jóvenes: baja respuesta ovárica (del inglés, poor ovarian response, o POR), e insuficiencia ovárica prematura(del inglés, premature ovarian insufficiency o POI). Numerosos protocolos de estimulación ovárica han sido desarrollados, sin ser efectivos, siendo en la mayoría de los casos, la única opción para estas pacientes la donación de ovocitos/embriones. Varios trabajos de investigación han descrito la…
Análisis de los factores epidemiológicos y clínicos implicados en el desarrollo de la enterocolitis necrosante
2015
La enterocolitis necrosante (ENC) es una de los procesos patológicos neonatales más graves por su elevada mortalidad (30%) y complicaciones. A pesar de los constantes avances en la atención neonatal su incidencia continua siendo elevada en el recién nacido pretérmino (RNPT), especialmente en los de peso al nacimiento inferior a 1500 g en los que se estima del 7-10%, tasa que ha sufrido escasas variaciones en los últimos años. La ECN es una enfermedad de origen multifactorial, y la sintomatología inicial muy inespecífica. Se diseñó un estudio en dos fases. En una primera fase se analizaron las características epidemiológicas y clínicas de todos los RNPT ingresados en una unidad IIIA desde 20…
Prenatální období života jako základ pro formování pohlavní identity
2016
The human has few types of sex - somatic, psychological and social, genetic, gonadal, genital, and hormonal. Individual elements of human sexuality interact by strengthening, confirming or denying one another. Moreover, they form a "mosaic" which means every person is a little different. This article presents the process of shaping of sex identity in the prenatal period, taking into account factors that affect it. It also underlines the importance of the functioning of the reproductive period of psycho-sexual health of subsequent generations. The author hopes it will also provide a reason for deep reflection on how largely existential, ethical and moral issues transpire. Contemplation will …
Prenatal exposure to diazepam and alprazolam, but not to zolpidem, affects behavioural stress reactivity in handling-naïve and handling-habituated ad…
2002
A gentle long-lasting handling produces persistent neurochemical and behavioural changes and attenuates the impairment in the behavioural reactivity to novelty induced by the prenatal exposure to diazepam (DZ) in adult male rat progeny. This study investigated the consequences of a late prenatal treatment with three GABA/BDZ R agonists (DZ) alprazolam (ALP) and zolpidem (ZOLP)), on different stress-related behavioural patterns, in non-handled (NH), short-lasting handled (SLH) and long-lasting handled (LLH) adult male rats exposed to forced swim test (FST), acoustic startle reflex (ASR) and Vogel test (VT). The effects on motor activity were evaluated in the open field and in the Skinner box…
Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19.1 million participants
2017
Background Raised blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. We estimated worldwide trends in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of, and number of people with, raised blood pressure, defined as systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher. Methods For this analysis, we pooled national, subnational, or community population-based studies that had measured blood pressure in adults aged 18 years and older. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends from 1975 to 2015 in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of rai…
Adrb3 adrenergic receptor is a key regulator of human myometrial apoptosis and inflammation during chorioamnionitis1
2008
The pathophysiology underlying preterm labor triggered by inflammatory conditions such as chorioamnionitis remains largely unclear. It has already been suggested that beta-3 adrenergic (ADRB3) agonists might be of interest in the pharmacological management of preterm labor. Although there is evidence implicating ADRB receptors in the control of inflammation, there are minimal data relating specifically to ADRB3. To explore the cellular consequences of chorioamnionitis and detect apoptosis, we first performed immunostaining and Western blot experiments on human myometrial samples obtained from women with confirmed chorioamnionitis. We then developed an in vitro model of chorioamnionitis by i…
Dental treatment of patients with coagulation factor alterations: An update
2007
Hemostasia is a defense mechanism that protects vascular integrity, avoids blood loss, and maintains blood fluidity throughout the circulatory system. The biochemical processes leading to blood clot formation are complex, and alterations can appear at any point within the chain of events. While a range of alterations can affect the coagulation factors, some are more common than others in the general population, including congenital (hemophilia A and B, Von Willebrand’s disease) and acquired disorders (anticoagulant drugs). Such diseases require special consideration in the context of dental treatment, and therefore must be known to dental professionals. Interconsultation with the hematologi…
Smoking ban in public places and myocardial infarction hospitalizations in a European country with high cardiovascular risk: insights from the Polish…
2019
INTRODUCTION Previous studies demonstrated a possible positive effect of a smoking ban in public places on cardiovascular outcomes. However, little is known about the influence of such regulations in Poland, a country with a high cardiovascular risk. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the association of hospitalization rates for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Poland before and after the introduction of the smoking ban in public places in November 2010. PATIENTS AND METHODS The Nationwide Acute Myocardial Infarction Database (AMI‑PL) was searched for the cases of AMI that occurred between 2009 and 2014. The analysis considered sex, age (20–64 years vs 65 years or older), and the place of …
