Feasibility of Treatment Discontinuation in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Clinical Practice in Spain: Results from a Nationwide Series of 236 Patients
2018
Abstract Introduction: Over half of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in sustained deep molecular remission do not lose the major molecular response (MMR) after stopping treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). This strategy is safe in controlled clinical trials, but there is scarce information on its applicability in the real-life setting. We aimed to assess if treatment cessation was feasible in clinical practice in a large nationwide series of CML patients from Spain. Methods: This retrospective study comprised a series of 236 patients in chronic-phase CML who discontinued TKI treatment outside of clinical trials between April 2009 and February 2018 in 33 Spanish insti…
Duality of moduli in regular toroidal metric spaces
2020
We generalize a result of Freedman and He [4, Theorem 2.5], concerning the duality of moduli and capacities in solid tori, to sufficiently regular metric spaces. This is a continuation of the work of the author and Rajala [12] on the corresponding duality in condensers. peerReviewed
La Muestra Continua de Vidas Laborales (MCVL) como fuente generadora de datos para el estudio del sistema de pensiones
2015
Esta tesis tiene como elemento fundamental de análisis la denominada Muestra Continua de Vidas Laborales (MCVL), como fuente generadora de datos para el estudio del sistema de público de pensiones de España. La MCVL es un conjunto de microdatos individuales anonimizados extraídos de los registros de la Seguridad Social de España. La MCVL se obtiene a partir de un Muestreo Aleatorio Simple (MAS) sobre la población de referencia (conjunto de personas relacionadas durante todo el año con la Seguridad Social, bien como afiliadas o bien como perceptoras de prestaciones, pero con ciertos matices en dicha relación). Los objetivos principales de esta tesis son: - Contribuir a aumentar el conocimien…
La formación continuada en Drogodependencias y las Revistas especializadas en Drogodependencias
2001
La formación continuada en drogodependencias, al igual que en otros campos de la actividad profesional, se encuentra en creciente desarrollo. Así mismo se está prestan¬do especial atención a los mecanismos de la acreditación de dichas actividades de formación continuada. En el presente trabajo se analiza, en primer lugar la información y documentación en drogodependencias, en segundo lugar la formación continuada en drogodependencias, y en tercer lugar el papel de las publicaciones científicas en este campo la formación continuada en drogodependencias.
Redefining outcomes in immune TTP: an international working group consensus report
2021
Abstract Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a potentially fatal thrombotic microangiopathy caused by autoantibody-mediated severe deficiency of ADAMTS13. Standardized definitions of response, exacerbation, remission, and relapse were initially proposed in 2003 and modified by the International Working Group for TTP in 2017. These definitions, which have been widely used in clinical practice and research, are based primarily on the platelet count and are benchmarked against the timing of discontinuation of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). They do not incorporate ADAMTS13 activity or the temporizing effects on the platelet count of caplacizumab, a novel anti–von W…
Acute, subchronic and discontinuation effects of zopiclone on sleep EEG and nocturnal melatonin secretion
1996
Zopiclone is a new short half-life cyclopyrrolone hypnotic agent acting at the GABA-benzodiazepine receptor complex. In order to characterize its pharmacological profile, the effects of 7.5 mg zopiclone on nocturnal melatonin secretion were investigated under polysomnographic control in 11 healthy subjects following acute and subchronic administration as well as after abrupt discontinuation of the drug. No effect of zopiclone on the melatonin plasma levels could be observed. Regarding both total melatonin production and the temporal pattern of melatonin secretion during the night, there was no difference between placebo baseline condition, acute and subchronic administration, and discontinu…
Dropout from Court-Mandated Intervention Programs for Intimate Partner Violence Offenders: The Relevance of Alcohol Misuse and Cognitive Impairments
2019
There is considerable interest in offering insight into the mechanisms that might explain why certain perpetrators of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) drop out of interventions. Although several socio-demographic variables and attitudes towards IPVAW have been proposed as risk factors for IPVAW perpetrators&rsquo
How we prevent and treat differentiation syndrome in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia
2014
Abstract Differentiation syndrome (DS), formerly known as retinoic acid syndrome, is a relatively common and potentially severe complication seen in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia treated with all-trans retinoic acid and/or arsenic trioxide. The full-blown syndrome consists of unexplained fever, weight gain, dyspnea with pulmonary infiltrates, pleuropericardial effusion, hypotension, and renal failure. Most measures currently used for management of DS have very little evidence-based support, and therefore, many remain controversial. Despite the lack of evidence supporting DS prophylaxis, several groups have adopted a preventive strategy with corticosteroids, especially for patie…
Conocimientos en cuidados paliativos de los profesionales de enfermería de un hospital español
2017
Resume Objective: to determine the level of knowledge in palliative care of nursing staff at a Spanish tertiary care hospital. Method: descriptive, cross-sectional study. Data were collected about the results of the Spanish version of the Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses (PCQN), sociodemographic aspects, education level and experience in the field of palliative care. Univariate and bivariate descriptive analysis was applied. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05 in all cases. Results: 159 professionals participated (mean age 39.51 years ± 10.25, with 13.96 years ± 10.79 of professional experience) 54.7% possessed experience in palliative care and 64.2% educational background (mainly b…
Benefits and risks of danazol in hereditary angioedema: a long-term survey of 118 patients
2008
Background Hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1 inhibitor deficiency is clinically characterized by relapsing skin swellings, abdominal pain attacks, and life-threatening upper airway obstruction. Treatment with androgens prevents attacks for those with this condition. Objective To examine the benefits and risks of long-term treatment with danazol. Methods Data were generated retrospectively from 118 German and Danish patients who had HAE due to C1 inhibitor deficiency and were treated with danazol from 2 months to 30 years. The frequency and severity of acute attacks were registered before and during danazol treatment, and adverse effects to the treatment were noted. Data were collected b…
