Development of functionalized SYBR green II related cyanine dyes for viral RNA detection
2020
Fluorescent probes for sensing nucleic acids have found widespread use in the field of cell and molecular biology. However, probes combined with potential for post-synthetic conjugation, e.g. for intra-endosomal measurements of RNA, are unavailable. Herein we developed cyanine dyes that can be conjugated to viral capsid or other targets. First, we solved the crystal structure of SYBR Green II. The structural elucidation of this commonly used RNA probe provided the basis for synthesizing similar molecules with much desired function for post-synthetic conjugation. To address this need, cyanine dyes were prepared using an alternative synthesis protocol. All studied compounds showed considerabl…
Children's nutritional status and parental educational styles: an experts appreciation
2013
Antecedentes: la obesidad infantil ha sido estudiada de manera amplia en aspectos de diagnóstico y tratamiento fundamentalmente, pero aquellos referidos a la prevención desde factores familiares, no genéticos, han estado muy ausentes del foco de las investigaciones en salud y nutrición pública. Objetivo: explorar las apreciaciones de los profesionales de la nutrición sobre las posibles relaciones entre el tipo de familia, el estado nutricional infantil y los estilos educativos familiares. Materiales y métodos: estudio, descriptivo y exploratorio. Se aplicó una encuesta on-line, semiestructurada a profesionales de España, Chile, Portugal y Colombia. Se incluyeron tres variables específicas: …
Attachment Anxiety and Attachment Avoidance: Members’ Attachment Fit with Their Group and Group Relationships
2017
We compared each individual group member’s attachment fit with the attachment of the other group members. Participants were 201 members of 20 therapy groups who sought treatment because they were overweight or obese. Group members completed the Attachment Style Questionnaire before commencing treatment and the Group Questionnaire at three points during group treatment. Multilevel polynomial regression followed by response surface analysis was used to examine how the attachment anxiety and avoidance of the individual group member and the aggregated attachment anxiety and avoidance of the group members were related to individual group members’ perceptions of the positive bonding, positive wor…

Evolución psicológica a largo plazo en pacientes con obesidad mórbida que se someten a cirugía bariátrica
2014
Actualmente en las sociedades occidentales la obesidad viene siendo un problema de salud importante al que es necesario prestar atención desde diferentes disciplinas. En los últimos años ha habido un importante y preocupante aumento de la prevalencia de esta enfermedad, aunque no está clasificada como un trastorno de la conducta alimentaria, y ello al margen de que algunos estudios demuestren que las personas diagnosticadas de obesidad mórbida presentan desórdenes alimentarios que se han mantenido durante un largo periodo de tiempo y que han concluido en la obesidad (Kalarchian, M., Marcus, M., Levine, M., et al. 2007 y Denia Lafuente, M. 2009). Según el consenso de la Sociedad Española par…
Enfermedad hepática grasa no alcohólica en la obesidad morbida:Implicaciones patogénicas y diagnosticas
2015
La Enfermedad Hepática Grasa No Alcohólica (EGHNA) se encuentra asociada a la obesidad en sus distintas fases y en especial a la forma de Obesidad Mórbida (OM) con IMC superior a 40. El diagnóstico de confirmación de la EHGNA, se realiza mediante estudio histológico de tejido hepático, pero cada vez más se plantea la búsqueda de métodos no invasivos como forma alternativa de diagnóstico en pacientes tanto normopeso como en portadores de obesidad. Entre estos nuevos sistemas de diagnóstico no invasivo se encuentran: modelos matemáticos (Fibrotest, Fibroscure, ELF, APRI, etc ), la elastografia impulsacional (Fibroscan®) y el estudio en sangre periférica de biomarcadores con implicaciones, tod…

SERUM URIC ACID IS INCREASED IN NORMOTENSIVE OBESE CHILDREN WITH A PARENTAL HYSTORY OF HYPERTENSION
2019
Introduction: Increased uric acid levels are associated with new-onset hypertension in children. Nevertheless, controversy remains concerning a direct causative role of serum uric acid (SUA) in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension (EH). Aim: To determine if normotensive obese children and adolescent offspring of adults with EH show SUA levels different than those of paediatric subjects in whom there is no family history of EH. Methods: Fifty-nine obese normotensive children and adolescents, aged between 8 and 17 years, attending for metabolic assessment the Paediatric Diabetes Unit, Children’s Hospital ‘‘G. Di Cristina’’, and for cardiovascular evaluation the ESH Hypertension excellen…
Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference as Predictors of Disability in Nonagenarians : The Vitality 90+ Study
2017
Background Only scarce data exist on the association between obesity and disability in the oldest old. The purpose of this prospective study is to examine if body mass index and waist circumference (WC) are associated with incident mobility and activities of daily living (ADL) disability in nonagenarians. Methods We used longitudinal data from the Vitality 90+ Study, which is a population-based study conducted at the area of Tampere, Finland. Altogether 291 women and 134 men, aged 90–91 years, had measured data on body mass index and/or WC and did not have self-reported mobility or ADL disability at baseline. Incident mobility and ADL disability was followed-up on median 3.6 years (range 0.…
