Existe un vasto cuerpo de investigación que evalúa los efectos de las intervenciones psicosociales sobre la adaptación psicológica durante el tratamiento del cáncer (Antoni, 2013; Guo et al., 2013; Stanton, 2006; Stanton, Luecken, MacKinnon y Thompson, 2013). En entornos oncológicos, las intervenciones basadas en Mindfulness han demostrado su eficacia para promover el bienestar y los dominios de calidad de vida (Sinatra y Black, 2018; Zainal, Booth y Huppert, 2013), estrategias de afrontamiento constructivas frente al estrés psicosocial relacionado con la enfermedad, aliviando la ansiedad, el estrés, la fatiga, el estado de ánimo general, la alteración del sueño (Carlson et al., 2003; Carls…

Early development of hedonic and motivational aspects of eating behaviour

2015

Eating is essential for survival. However, the newborn is not an autonomous eater, and has to learn ‘how', ‘what', ‘when', and ‘how much' to eat quickly enough to ensure harmonious growth and development. In other nutritional areas, it has been shown during the past 20 years that early experiences are likely to impact long-term health outcomes. Thus, it appears fundamental to understand the early development of hedonic and motivational aspects of eating behaviour. This presentation will describe several studies conducted in our group during the past 10 years, in order to gain more knowledge about the development of what and how much children eat, in relation with food sensory and nutritiona…

HER-2 marķiera noteikšana krūts vēža pacientēm neoadjuvantas ķīmijterapijas laikā

2021

Ievads. Onkomarķieriem ir īpaša nozīme ļaundabīgo slimību diagnostikā un ārstēšanas efektivitātes prognozēšanā. HER-2 receptora ekspresija raksturīga vidēji 15-30% krūts vēža audzējiem un ir saistīta ar agresīvu audzēja gaitu. Audzēja HER-2 ekspresiju nosaka biopsijas materiālā. Savukārt, ekstracelulāro HER-2 domēnu iespējams noteikt asins serumā. Seruma HER-2 var būt noteikts arī veseliem pacientiem, taču, tā koncentrācija ir augstāka pacientiem ar krūts vēzi, īpaši ja audzējs ir HER-2 receptoru pozitīvs. Izteikts seruma HER-2 koncentrācijas samazinājums ķīmijterapijas laikā var būt saistīts ar labāku atbildi uz terapiju, ilgāku laiku līdz slimības progresijai un garāku kopējo dzīvildzi. D…

COVID-19 in Severe Asthma Network in Italy (SANI) patients: Clinical features, impact of comorbidities and treatments

2020

To the Editor Since the end of February 2020 Italy, first non- Asian Country, has reported an ever increasing number of COronaVIrus Disease 19 (COVID-19) patients, which has reached over 200,000 confirmed Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infected subjects and resulted in more than 34000 deaths (data updated to June 19th, 20201).Patients with asthma are potentially more severely affected by by SARS-CoV-2 infection 2 and it is well established that respiratory viral infections are associated with severe adverse outcomes in patients with asthma, including increased risk of asthma exacerbation episodes 3. Nonetheless, according to the epidemiological studies publishe…

Effects of ectopic expression of NGAL on doxorubicin sensitivity.

2012

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL, a.k.a Lnc2) is a member of the lipocalin family which has diverse roles including stabilizing matrix metalloproteinase-9 from auto-degradation and as siderocalins which are important in the transport of iron. NGAL also has important biological functions involved in immunity and inflammation as well as responses to kidney damage. NGAL expression has also been associated with certain neoplasia and is important in the metastasis of breast cancer. Many advanced cancer patients have elevated levels of NGAL in their urine and it has been proposed that NGAL may be a prognostic indicator for certain cancers (e.g. breast, brain, and others). NGAL exp…

Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk

2013

Journal article Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Common variants at 27 loci have been identified as associated with susceptibility to breast cancer, and these account for ~9% of the familial risk of the disease. We report here a meta-analysis of 9 genome-wide association studies, including 10,052 breast cancer cases and 12,575 controls of European ancestry, from which we selected 29,807 SNPs for further genotyping. These SNPs were genotyped in 45,290 cases and 41,880 controls of European ancestry from 41 studies in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC). The SNPs were genotyped as part of a collaborative genotyping experiment involving four consortia (Collaborat…

Verità e menzogna dei simboli

2008

Cosa sono e come funzionano i simboli? Quali sono i meccanismi di trasmissione dell’immaginario, i suoi spazi e la sua rilevanza sociale? Quali il ruolo e il perimetro del sacro, del mito, del rito, della magia e della religione in certi ambiti, erroneamente percepiti come marginali, della società contemporanea? Quali le strategie di trasmissione della memoria culturale e i processi di produzione e riproduzione dell’identità comunitaria? I saggi riuniti in questo volume cercano di fornire alcune risposte a questi interrogativi confrontandosi con la pervasiva, sebbene non di rado occulta, dialettica culturale tra immanenza e trascendenza e indagando sulle dinamiche psicologiche e sociali del…

Effects of Social Hierarchy Establishment on Stress Response and Cell Phagocytosis in Gilt-Head Sea Bream (Sparus aurata)

2022

Social stress can affect the ability of fish to respond to various stressors, such as pathogens or environmental variations. In this paper, the effects of social stress on gilt-head bream (Sparus aurata) were investigated. To study the effects of physiological stress, we evaluated biochemical and cellular parameters, such as cortisol, glucose, lactate, osmolarity, and phagocytosis, 24 h after the establishment of social hierarchy in a group of three fish. Social hierarchy was determined and characterized by behavioral observation (aggressive acts and feeding order) of the specimens (dominant: “α”; subordinate: “β” and “γ”). After the esta…
