Endophthalmitis following penetrating eye injuries
1997
Postinjury endophthalmitis is the eye infection with the worst prognosis. A retrospective 9-year study was made of penetrating eye injuries, with an analysis of the incidence of infection and its relation to the type of wound and the presence of intraocular foreign bodies. There were 403 cases of penetrating eye injury; of these, 233 affected the cornea and 170 involved the posterior pole. Intraocular foreign bodies were present in 40 cases. Endophthalmitis developed in 4.2% of cases (17/403), and was more common in patients with posterior pole involvement (7%) than in purely corneal trauma (2.1%) (p = 0.03, Chi-square). Infection was in turn more frequent in the presence of intraocular for…
Clinical significance of interleukin-1 genotype in smoking patients as a predictor of peri-implantitis: A case-control study
2015
Background: Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, and so it might be useful to detect high-risk cases of peri-implantitis. It has been reported that IL-1 polymorphisms and smoking habit have a synergic effect, increasing the incidence of peri-implantitis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between IL-1 gene polymorphisms and peri-implantitis in smoking patients. Material and Methods: A case-control study was performed in 27 patients with peri-implantitis and 27 patients with healthy implants. All patients included were smokers. IL-1A-C889T, IL-1B+C3953T and IL-1RN+T2018C were identifie…
Wilson's disease in Spain: validation of sources of information used by the Rare Diseases Registries
2021
[ES] Objetivo: Evaluar las fuentes de información empleadas por los Registros Autonómicos de Enfermedades Raras (RAER) para la captación de la enfermedad de Wilson en España, calcular su prevalencia y mortalidad, y describir las características sociodemográficas de las personas afectadas. Método: Estudio epidemiológico transversal, periodo 2010-2015. Se captaron los posibles casos mediante los códigos 275.1 (CIE-9-MC), E83.0 (CIE-10) y 905 ORPHA en 15 RAER y el Registro de Pacientes de Enfermedades Raras del Instituto de Salud Carlos III. Los diagnósticos fueron validados revisando la documentación clínica. Se calcularon el valor predictivo positivo (VPP) de las fuentes de información, la p…
Abnormal Immunoexpression of Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) in Cervical Cancer
2010
Artículo publicado en: International Journal of Surgical Pathology published online 18 July 2010 The purpose of this study was to examine the immunoexpression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) E-cadherin, CD44s, and CD44v3 in cervical cancer and compare it with that in benign exo-endocervical tissue. In all, 81 cervical cancer biopsy specimens and 22 benign controls were included. Primary monoclonal antibodies NHC-38, F10-44-2, and 3G5 for E-cadherin, CD44s, and CD44v3 were used, respectively. Statistical significance was evaluated by the ?2 test. Antigen expression was significantly different in cervical cancer specimens compared with controls, showing marked decrease in membrane expressio…
Immunohistochemical expression of ubiquitin and telomerase in cervical cancer
2009
Artículo publicado en: Virchows Arch (2009) 455:235–243. DOI 10.1007/s00428-009-0818-7 Ubiquitin and telomerase immunohistochemical expression patterns in cervical cancer were compared with normal cervical tissue samples. Eighty-one cervical cancer cases and 22 normal exo–endocervical tissue were examined with polyclonal antibody for ubiquitin and 44G12 clone for telomerase using tissue microarrays. The results were interpreted using a semiquantitative scale The average age of patients was 50.67 years. The most frequent histological types were moderately differentiated epidermoid carcinoma (43.5%), according to the degree of differentiation, and endocervical adenocarcinoma (42.1%). Immunohi…

Romanization of Funerary Rituals in Oretania: The Tomb 1 of the Cemetery of the Cerro de las Cabezas (Valdepeñas, Ciudad Real, Spain)
2017
La correcta aplicación de un procedimiento de prevención de impactos y protección al patrimonio arqueológico, desarrollado con motivo de la implantación de una línea eléctrica de alta tensión, permitió en 2013 el hallazgo de una necrópolis junto al Cerro de las Cabezas (Valdepeñas, Ciudad Real). Hasta el momento se desconocía la localización del área funeraria de este gran oppidum. Las catorce tumbas documentadas durante esta breve intervención (catorce días de trabajo) corresponden a los enterramientos de cremaciones en urnas, con piezas de ajuar asociadas como fusayolas, fíbulas, armas y recipientes cerámicos. Se presenta el estudio ceramológico de la Tumba 1; la única de entre las excava…
Audiovisual Verification in the evolution of television newsrooms: Al Jazeera and the transition from satellite to the cloud
2021
With the spread of the digital sphere and the proliferation of images from indirect sources that can be accessed by systems and users, verification routines have become essential to ensure media corporations' credibility. The advances in artificial intelligence which allow automated fact-checking (AFC) initiatives to be created help detect falsehoods, but they do not eliminate the need for human intervention. On the contrary, information professionals are necessary, and their functions increasingly include procedures such as mediating in videos and images. This study analyses the evolution of verification routines in audiovisual journalism and how new techniques have influenced the percepti…
