Central nervous system involvement at first relapse in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia treated with all-trans retinoic acid and anthracycl…

2009

Background The prevalence of and risk factors for central nervous system recurrence in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia are not well established and remain a controversial matter. Design and Methods Between 1996 and 2005, 739 patients with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia enrolled in two consecutive trials (PETHEMA LPA96 and LPA99) received induction therapy-with all-trans retinoic acid and idarubicin. Consolidation therapy comprised three courses of anthracycline monochemotherapy (LPA96), with all-trans retinoic acid and reinforced doses of idarubicin in patients with an intermediate or high risk of relapse (LPA99). Central nervous system prophylaxis was not given. Re…

Deep-Sea Bioluminescence Blooms after Dense Water Formation at the Ocean Surface

2013

The deep ocean is the largest and least known ecosystem on Earth. It hosts numerous pelagic organisms, most of which are able to emit light. Here we present a unique data set consisting of a 2.5-year long record of light emission by deep-sea pelagic organisms, measured from December 2007 to June 2010 at the ANTARES underwater neutrino telescope in the deep NW Mediterranean Sea, jointly with synchronous hydrological records. This is the longest continuous time-series of deep-sea bioluminescence ever recorded. Our record reveals several weeks long, seasonal bioluminescence blooms with light intensity up to two orders of magnitude higher than background values, which correlate to changes in th…

Posttraumatic carotid-cavernous fistula: Pathogenetic mechanisms, diagnostic management and proper treatment. A case report.

2016

Journal Article; UNLABELLED Carotid-cavernous fistulas are an uncommon diseases characterized by abnormal communications between arteries and veins located in the cavernous sinus. According with Barrow´s classification they could be divided in two groups: direct and indirect. The typical symptoms showed by theses pathologies are: pulsating exophthalmos and orbital blow. The present study describes a case of direct posttraumatic carotid-cavernous fistula in a 26 years old man. Furthermore, we present the images that we used to make the diagnosis. In this light, we decided to treat this case with endovascular approach after considering several therapeutic options. The aim of the present repor…

Perspectives for the Treatment of Brucellosis in the 21st Century: The Ioannina Recommendations

2007

Policy Forum. Competing interests: ER has received research grants from Daiichi, Bayer, and Theravance and has served as a consultant to Pfizer, Theravance, Bayer, Wyeth, Rosetta, and BiondVax. Summary Points Brucellosis remains the commonest anthropozoonosis worldwide, and its treatment remains complex, requiring protracted administration of more than one antibiotic. In November 2006, a consensus meeting aimed at reaching a common specialist statement on the treatment of brucellosis was held in Ioannina, Greece under the auspices of the International Society of Chemotherapy and the Institute of Continuing Medical Education of Ioannina. The author panel suggests that the optimal treatment o…

Stable and efficient Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

2014

La evolución de la tecnología exige el diseño de nuevas pantallas y sis-temas de iluminación. En este marco se necesitan rendimientos mejores y diseños avanzados y novedosos de productos. Los diodos orgánicos emisores de luz (OLEDs) son una alternativa factible a los sistemas inorgánicos debido a sus propiedades físicas únicas. Se pueden preparar dispositivos muy finos que pueden ser procesados a temperatura ambiente en sustratos grandes y flexibles. Además, sus propiedades se pueden ajustar fácilmente modificando la estructura química de las moléculas emisoras. Los rendimientos de los OLEDs están ya muy cercanos a los obtenidos utilizando las tecnologías clá-sicas inorgánicas. Sin embargo,…

Vector FWM in optical fibers: tuning techniques and applications

2022

Recientemente, el efecto no lineal de mezcla de cuatro ondas (FWM) en fibras ópticas ha atraído un gran interés para el desarrollo de nuevas fuentes de luz de fibra óptica debido a la emisión de luz múltiple producida por este efecto no lineal. En los últimos años, estas fuentes de luz basadas en FWM han demostrado una gran utilidad en áreas como la óptica cuántica y la microscopía avanzada basada en efecto Raman. Además, según el estado de polarización de la luz de bombeo responsable del efecto FWM y la birrefringencia de la fibra, la luz producida por FWM puede presentar diferentes propiedades de polarización dada la naturaleza vectorial de FWM. Esto posibilita el diseño y desarrollo de f…

Passive direct measurement of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence spectrum from in vivo leaves

2022

The fluorescence of chlorophyll in vegetation is a weak signal emitted between 650 and 850 nm that is mixed with the much more intense light reflected by the leaf, which is why active methods are commonly used (through the additional contribution of controlled artificial light) or using indirect measurements instead. So, the measurement is provided just in relative units in the first case, or the accuracy of the estimate in the second case is uncertain without proper direct validation. The Thesis presents a new device, called FluoWat, for passive measurement that allows direct measurement of the fluorescence emission of leaves in vivo under natural conditions in the field with sunlight. And…

Patients' and physicians' preferences for type 2 diabetes mellitus treatments in Spain and Portugal: a discrete choice experiment.

2015

Objective: To assess Spanish and Portuguese patients' and physicians' preferences regarding type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatments and the monthly willingness to pay (WTP) to gain benefits or avoid side effects. Methods: An observational, multicenter, exploratory study focused on routine clinical practice in Spain and Portugal. Physicians were recruited from multiple hospitals and outpatient clinics, while patients were recruited from eleven centers operating in the public health care system in different autonomous communities in Spain and Portugal. Preferences were measured via a discrete choice experiment by rating multiple T2DM medication attributes. Data were analyzed using the cond…

EN TORNO A LA CULTURA POLÍTICA DE LA ALTA MAGISTRATURA

2008

International audience; One of the most striking facts in the political history of the monarchy in early modern Spain is the growth of a significant state bureaucracy. At the same time, there occurred an intensive reflection on justice, law and government which led to the publication of numerous political and legal treatises. If we know, at least theoretically, how the main institutions of the government worked, we are still ignorant about much concerning the social and cultural profile of the royal officials of the monarchy. Firstly, the goal of this contribution is to offer an analysis on a particular kind of bureaucrats, namely the lawyers, by placing them in their political and institut…
