Tobacco use in lung cancer (LC) patients (p) in Spain

2019

Abstract Background Tobacco use, mainly as cigarette smoking, is the leading cause of lung cancer. Eighty-five percent of LC occur in smokers. Understanding the Spanish smoking habits allows the government to design health care policies against this consumption. To do so, the Grupo Espanol de Cancer de Pulmon (Spanish Lung Cancer Group) made this analysis within the context of the Thoracic Tumor Registry (TTR). Methods The TTR is an observational cohort multicenter study in Spain. The study is conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the institutional review board of each participating site. The registry was approved by the Spanish Drug Agency, as a non-post-author…

The Role of Asymptomatic Individuals in the COVID-19 Pandemic <i>via</i> Complex Networks

2020

Background: Recent seroprevalence studies have tried to estimate the real number of asymptomatic cases affected by COVID-19. It is of paramount importance to understand the impact of these infections in order to prevent a second wave. This study aims to model the interactions in the population by means of a complex network and to shed some light on the effectiveness of localised control measures in Italy in relation to the school opening in mid-September.}  Methods: The formulation of an epidemiological predictive model is given: the advantage of using this model lies in that it discriminates between asymptomatic and symptomatic cases of COVID-19 as the interactions with these two categorie…

The GALAD Score as Potential Screening Test for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis: An International Multicenter Study

2019

The prevalence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is rising rapidly and is currently the most common chronic liver disease in Western populations. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major complication of NASH and the current performance of screening approaches based on ultrasound shows limitations. To facilitate earlier diagnosis, this international multicenter study, with eight German and one Japanese center participating, tests the potential benefit of applying the biomarkers AFP, AFP-L3, DCP and related scores for HCC screening in NASH patients. In the retrospective German cohort, 126 NASH patients with newly diagnosed HCC and 231 NASH control patients without HCC were enrolled. In …

Leg extension power asymmetry and mobility limitation in healthy older women

2005

Objective To investigate the association of asymmetry in leg extension power (LEP) with walking and standing balance. Design Cross-sectional analysis. Setting Research laboratory. Participants Healthy female twins (N=419), ages 63 to 75 years. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures The LEP difference between the stronger and the weaker leg, measured with the Nottingham power rig, was calculated. Ten-meter maximal walking velocity was assessed in a laboratory corridor on a wide (170cm) and narrow (35cm) track, and the ability to maintain tandem stance for 20 seconds was recorded. Results The mean LEP difference ± standard deviation between the legs was 15%±9% (P<.001). Those wit…

Terapeuttisen harjoittelun vaikuttavuus päänsäryn hoidossa : systemaattinen katsaus ja meta-analyysi satunnaistetuista, kontrolloiduista tutkimuksista

2014

Tausta: Päänsärky on yksi yleisimmistä neurologisista oireista, sillä lähes kaikilla on jossain vaiheessa elämäänsä päänsärkyä. Tämän vuoksi on tärkeää selvittää myös ei-lääkkeellisten hoitomuotojen käyttöä päänsäryn hoidossa. Tämän systemaattisen katsauksen ja meta-analyysin tarkoituksena oli tutkia terapeuttisen harjoittelun vaikutusta päänsärkyyn. Tutkimusmenetelmä: Tähän analyysin haettiin satunnaistettuja, kontrolloituja tutkimuksia seuraavista tietokannoista vuosilta 1980 - 2013 syyskuu; PubMed (Medline), The Cochrane Central Register of controlled Trials, SPORTDiscus, Cinahl ja The Physiotherapy evidence based database (PEDro). Katsaukseen hyväksyttiin tutkimukset, jotka käsittelivät…
