Recommendations of the Spanish Working Group on Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (GETECCU) on topical therapy in ulcerative colitis
2020
Although most patients with ulcerative colitis should be given topical treatment, different studies have shown that they are underused in clinical practice. The purpose of this article is to answer 10 specific questions about which drugs are available for topical use in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, and their characteristics in terms of formulation, dosage, presentation, application and proximal distribution of rectal-administered drugs. The efficacy of available topical drugs and the benefits of combining different formulations and routes of administration, and their usefulness during disease remission are evaluated. Finally, a series of recommendations addressed to patients are giv…
Herramientas de análisis y resolución de problemas utilizadas en los sistemas de gestión de la calidad y su relación con los costes de calidad
2005
Es este trabajo presentamos los resultados de una encuesta realizada a las empresas certificadas en la Norma ISO 9000 de calidad de la Comunidad Valenciana. En ella se analiza el conocimiento y la utilización de diversas herramientas de análisis y resolución de problemas, por diferentes variables, como, tamaño, sectores, antigüedad en la certificación, etc. También analizamos como el conocimiento y la utilización de estas herramientas esta relacionado con otras variables como la reducción de costes, el incremento de productividad, la gestión excelente, la medición de los costes de calidad etc.
Preparation of 2,3-seco-5α-cholestane-2,3-diol and 4α-methyl-2,3-seco-5α-cholestane-2,3-diol and its reactions with o-nitrophenyl selenocyanate
1984
The reaction of 2,3-seco-5 alpha-cholestane-2,3-diol and 4 alpha-methyl-2,3-seco-5 alpha-cholestane-2,3-diol with o-nitrophenyl selenocyanate was studied. The diols were synthesized from cholesterol.
La contabilidad de costes a finales del s. XIX: el caso de la empresa española Trenor y Cía. (1838-1926)
2006
El objetivo principal de este estudio es aportar evidencia empírica sobre la evolución de los sistemas de costes, y el papel de la información contable como instrumento esencial en la gestión y evolución de las empresas, para lo que hemos investigado el caso de la sociedad colectiva Trenor y Cía., una de las empresas más relevantes de la economía valenciana del siglo XIX, por su contribución al desarrollo agrícola e industrial. Aunque inicialmente se estableció en una fábrica de hilatura de seda y se dedicó a la importación y exportación de productos agrarios, exportación de pasas sobre todo, y a las operaciones de banca, en las últimas décadas del siglo XIX comenzó la producción de sacos, …
Early palliative care of non‑small cell lung cancer in the context of immunotherapy (Review)
2020
Abstract. The most common cause of mortality due to malig‑ nant neoplasms in the general population around the world is lung cancer. In the last 10 years, there has been an enormous improvement in the treatment of this disease, mainly due to the immunotherapy that activates the immune system to fight cancer. Patients with metastatic non‑small cell lung cancer are a special group of patients requiring not only cancer treatment but also considerable support in the treatment of cancer‑related problems, as well as comorbidities. Early palliative care is important in this area. In addition, there is certain evidence that medicines most commonly administered in palliative care may lower the effic…
Intravenöse Immunglobulin- und Prednisolon-Behandlung bei kryoglobulinämischer Polyneuropathie
2001
A 71-year-old man with cryoglobulinemia associated with severe symmetrical sensorimotor polyneuropathy was successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and a corticosteroid. Within 2-3 months, he developed distal motor and sensory deficits and burning feet deteriorating after cold exposure. On examination, symmetric hypesthesia and hypalgesia were found along with bilateral loss of vibration and position sense, loss of ankle jerks, and paralysis of the pretibial muscles with step-page gait. The laboratory exam revealed elevated cryoglobulin levels and reduced complement C4. Nerve conduction studies were consistent with a severe axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Sural nerve …
Mucin 1 downregulation associates with corticosteroid resistance in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
2013
Background A number of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) are resistant to oral corticosteroids. Mucin 1 (MUC1) shows anti-inflammatory properties, and its cytoplasmic tail (CT) interacts with transcription factors, facilitating their nuclear translocation. Because glucocorticoid receptor (GR) nuclear translocation is key to the anti-inflammatory effect of corticosteroids, we hypothesized that MUC1 is involved in the effectiveness of corticosteroids. Objective To analyze the role of MUC1 in corticosteroid effectiveness in different cohorts of patients with CRSwNP and elucidate the possible mechanisms involved. Methods Seventy-three patients with CRSwNP took oral…
Use of corticosteroids in Coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia: A systematic review of the literature
2020
The aim was to investigate the effectiveness of glucocorticoid therapy in patients with COVID-19. A systematic search of the literature across nine databases was conducted from inception until 15th March 2020, following the PRISMA guidelines. Patients with a validated diagnosis of COVID-19 and using corticosteroids were included, considering all health outcomes. Four studies with 542 Chinese participants were included. Two studies reported negative findings regarding the use of corticosteroids in patients with COVID-19, i.e., corticosteroids had a detrimental impact on clinical outcomes. One study reported no significant association between the use of corticosteroids and clinical outcomes. …
Aldosterone biosynthesis induced by ACTH and angiotensin II in newborn rat adrenocortical cells transfected by c-EJ-Ha-ras oncogene
1991
Abstract Adrenocortical cells were obtained by fractionated trypsination of newborn rat adrenal glands and transfected with a plasmid containing the EJ T24 -Ha-ras oncogene. Isolation of adhesive cells led to a proliferative cell line with an overexpression of 21 kDa ras protein. These cells incubated with corticosterone or deoxycorticosterone as the precursor produced a high level of 18-hydroxycorticosterone and aldosterone as identified by gas chromatography- mass spectrometry. ACTH and angiotensin II increased the basal production of aldosterone nineteen-fold and six-fold respectively. Under ACTH stimulation the ratio between aldosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone production was 1:3. T…
Pharmacotherapy of COPD in Central and Eastern Europe - The POPE study
2016
Introduction: In Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) the burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is high. It remains unknown whether patients are treated in line with GOLD recommendations or according to their phenotypes. Our aim was to analyze the treatment patterns of COPD in CEE. Methods: In the frame of the POPE study (ClinicalTrials.gov - NCT02119494) data including pharmacotherapy were collected in patients with stable COPD across 11 CEE countries. Results: 3366 patients (66±9 yrs, 70% male, FEV 1 53±18%) participated in the study. In all GOLD categories, the most widely used medications were long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABA), followed by long-acting antimuscarinic agents…
