First-Episode Psychotic Patients Showed Longitudinal Brain Changes Using fMRI With an Emotional Auditory Paradigm
2020
[EN] Most previous longitudinal studies of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in first-episode psychosis (FEP) using cognitive paradigm task found an increased activation after antipsychotic medications. We designed an emotional auditory paradigm to explore brain activation during emotional and nonemotional word processing. This study aimed to analyze if longitudinal changes in brain fMRI BOLD activation is present in patients vs. healthy controls. A group of FEP patients (n = 34) received clinical assessment and had a fMRI scan at baseline and follow-up (average, 25-month interval). During the fMRI scan, both emotional and nonemotional words were presented as a block design. Resu…
Oxidative Stress and Ubiquitin Ligases: their involvement in skeletal muscle atrophy
2015
Introduction Muscle atrophy plays a relevant role in the many very prevalent diseases. Generation of reactive oxygen species (mainly by the xanthine oxidase) and inflammation are two of the main triggers of muscle atrophy. Aim The major aim of our study was to determine the mechanism by which reactive oxygen species activate E3 ubiquitin ligases (MuRF-1 and MAFbx) cause muscle atrophy. Possible prevention by allopurinol, a well-known xanthine oxidase inhibitor widely used in clinical practice; and by indomethacin, a non-steroidal antiinflamatory drug was also studied. Materials and methods Male C57BL/6J mice (3 months old) conditioned by 14 days of hindlimb unloading with or without each tr…
Source strength determination in iridium-192 and cobalt-60 brachytherapy : A European survey on the level of agreement between clinical measurements …
2021
Background and purpose: Brachytherapy treatment outcomes depend on the accuracy of the delivered dose distribution, which is proportional to the reference air-kerma rate (RAKR). Current societal recommendations require the medical physicist to compare the measured RAKR values to the manufacturer source calibration certificate. The purpose of this work was to report agreement observed in current clinical practice in the European Union. Materials and methods: A European survey was performed for high- and pulsed-dose-rate (HDR and PDR) highenergy sources (Ir-192 and Co-60), to quantify observed RAKR differences. Medical physicists at eighteen hospitals from eight European countries were contac…

Addendum to the type catalogue of the malacological collection in the Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona
2018
Noves aportacions al catàleg d’exemplars tipus de la col·lecció malacològica del Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona S’amplia el catàleg d’exemplars tipus de mol·luscs del Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona, publicat l’any 2008, amb nou material corresponent a 42 tàxons de mol·luscs continentals de la península Ibèrica, les illes Balears i les Canàries. La majoria d’espècimens pertanyen a les col·leccions històriques del Museu o a la col·lecció malacològica de Miquel Bech, donada a la institució el 2009. Per a cada tàxon representat s’aporta, entre d’altres dades, informació relativa a la categoria del tipus, el nombre d’exemplars, la procedència geogràfica, els espècimens tipus c…
Le processus souverainiste en Catalogne : entre crise institutionnelle et impasse politique
2017
Cet article interroge les facteurs qui ont conduit, à partir de 2010, à une radicalisation des revendications indépendantistes en Catalogne et à une situation de quasi-blocage institutionnel à travers une analyse des discours politiques des exécutifs catalan et madrilène et des nouveaux modes d'activité protestataire mis en place par la société civile. La complexité de cette crise qui pose le problème des limites du cadre constitutionnel de 1978 implique de prendre en compte les interactions qui se créent entre la sphère politique et la société civile au cours de ce cycle de mobilisations. La réflexion s'oriente donc à la fois sur les arguments convoqués dans le discours institutionnel mais…

Intra-articular corticosteroids versus intra-articular corticosteroids plus methotrexate in oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a multicent…
2017
Summary Background Little evidence-based information is available to guide the treatment of oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. We aimed to investigate whether oral methotrexate increases the efficacy of intra-articular corticosteroid therapy. Methods We did this prospective, open-label, randomised trial at ten hospitals in Italy. Using a concealed computer-generated list, children younger than 18 years with oligoarticular-onset disease were randomly assigned (1:1) to intra-articular corticosteroids alone or in combination with oral methotrexate (15 mg/m 2 ; maximum 20 mg). Corticosteroids used were triamcinolone hexacetonide (shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and tibiotalar joints) o…
