Statins stimulate the production of a soluble form of the receptor for advanced glycation end products
2013
The beneficial effects of statin therapy in the reduction of cardiovascular pathogenesis, atherosclerosis, and diabetic complications are well known. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) plays an important role in the progression of these diseases. In contrast, soluble forms of RAGE act as decoys for RAGE ligands and may prevent the development of RAGE-mediated disorders. Soluble forms of RAGE are either produced by alternative splicing [endogenous secretory RAGE (esRAGE)] or by proteolytic shedding mediated by metalloproteinases [shed RAGE (sRAGE)]. Therefore we analyzed whether statins influence the production of soluble RAGE. Lovastatin treatment of either mouse alveol…

Parametric assessment of myocardial perfusion by densitometric evaluation of digital subtraction coronary angiograms: a comparison with tomographic T…
2002
Densitometric results about local myocardial perfusion are compared with those derived from a quantitative analysis of TL-201 single photon emission computer tomograms (TL-201 SPECT). Ten patients underwent conventional TL-201 SPECT at rest and after maximum bicycle stress and dipyridamole infusion the day prior to the investigation. SPECT was applied to provide improved spatial resolution for the detection of perfusion abnormalities. During the catheterization procedure four digital subtraction coronary angiograms were performed, two of the left and two of the right coronary artery both before and after pharmacologically induced hyperemia by intracoronary papaverine. The densitometric para…
LAight® Therapy Significantly Enhances Treatment Efficacy of 16 Weeks of Topical Clindamycin Solution in Hurley I and II Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Re…
2021
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory, burdensome skin disease where medical first-line treatment is still limited to long-term, topical and/or systemic antibiotics. The RELIEVE study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of LAight® therapy – a combination of intense pulsed light and radiofrequency – as an adjunct treatment to first-line therapies in Hurley stage I and II HS. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The RELIEVE study was performed as a two-period multicenter randomized controlled trial with blinded assessment. For period A from week 0 to week 16, the 88 participating subjects were randomized into either a…
Directly Observed Physical Activity and Fundamental Motor Skills in Four-Year-Old Children in Day Care
2016
Physical activity (PA), its location, social interactions and fundamental motor skills (FMS) were investigated in four-year-old Finnish children in day care. Six skills in the stability, locomotor and manipulative domains were assessed in 53 children (24 boys, 29 girls, normal anthropometry) with the APM-Inventory manual for assessing children’s perceptual and FMS and Total Motor Scores (TMS; 0–6 points) calculated. PA intensity, location, group composition and activity type − sitting, squatting, kneeling − were directly observed with a modified version of the Observational System for Recording Physical Activity in Children – Preschool Version (OSRAC – P) during three consecutive days in 14…
La Justicia Medioambiental y su posible introducción en el Ordenamiento Jurídico Español
2014
La tesis se centra en el concepto de la Justicia Medioambiental, entendida como “el trato justo y la participación significativa de todas las personas, sin consideración de raza, color, origen nacional o posición económica, en el desarrollo, implementación y cumplimiento de las leyes, reglamentaciones y políticas medioambientales”. La tesis analiza el surgimiento del movimiento de la Justicia medioambiental en los Estados Unidos en la década de los ochenta del siglo XX, y realiza un recorrido histórico por las fases de consolidación y de posterior expansión del mismo en suelo europeo. Describe el marco de la justicia medioambiental, entendido como un modelo de análisis de los conflictos med…
Historias de buentrato y maltrato: Un estudio cualitativo en mujeres mayores, a partir del recuerdo autobiográfico
2022
La presente tesis pretende aproximarse a la vivencia en primera persona de mujeres mayores con edades comprendidas entre 65 a 100 años, sobre buentrato y maltrato a lo largo de sus vidas. Es una investigación desarrollada desde la Perspectiva del Ciclo Vital, en la cual hemos investigado cómo las mujeres mayores, participantes en la misma, han vivido la experiencia del buentrato y maltrato a lo largo de la vida en primera persona, es decir, desde su propia vivencia y no sobre cómo las mujeres mayores han sido o están siendo bientratadas o maltratadas. Nos parece clave hacer énfasis en este aspecto, porque no estamos hablando sobre buenas prácticas de buentrato o identificación de las prácti…
