Recommendations of the treatment-resistant depression expert center network for promoting tobacco smoking cessation based on the results from the rea…
2022
Abstract Background Tobacco smoking has been associated with suicide, impulsivity and depression in non-clinical populations with differences across sexes. Objective To determine the role of tobacco smoking in Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) according to sex in a precision-medicine approach. Method The FACE-TRD cohort is a national cohort of TRD patients recruited in 13 resistant depression expert centers between 2014 and 2021 and followed-up at 6 months. A standardized one-day long comprehensive battery was carried out, including trained-clinician and patient-reported outcomes, and patients were reevaluated at 6 months on their smoking and psychiatric hospitalization outcomes.

The Independent Effects of Psychosocial Stressors on Subclinical Psychosis: Findings from the Multinational EU-GEI Study
2021
The influence of psychosocial stressors on psychosis risk has usually been studied in isolation and after the onset of the disorder, potentially ignoring important confounding relationships or the fact that some stressors that may be the consequence of the disorder rather than preexisting. The study of subclinical psychosis could help to address some of these issues. In this study, we investigated whether there was (i) an association between dimensions of subclinical psychosis and several psychosocial stressors including: childhood trauma, self-reported discrimination experiences, low social capital, and stressful life experiences, and (ii) any evidence of environment-environment (ExE) inte…
Rapid evaluation of notch stress intensity factors using the peak stress method: Comparison of commercial finite element codes for a range of mesh pa…
2018
The peak stress method (PSM) is an engineering, finite element (FE)-oriented method to rapidly estimate the notch stress intensity factors by using the singular linear elastic peak stresses calculated from coarse FE analyses. The average element size adopted to generate the mesh pattern can be chosen arbitrarily within a given range. Originally, the PSM has been calibrated under pure mode I and pure mode II loadings by means of Ansys FE software. In the present contribution, a round robin between 10 Italian universities has been carried out to calibrate the PSM with 7 different commercial FE codes. To this aim, several two-dimensional mode I and mode II problems have been analysed independe…
Shared genetic risk between eating disorder- and substance-use-related phenotypes: Evidence from genome-wide association studies
2020
AbstractEating disorders and substance use disorders frequently co-occur. Twin studies reveal shared genetic variance between liabilities to eating disorders and substance use, with the strongest associations between symptoms of bulimia nervosa (BN) and problem alcohol use (genetic correlation [rg], twin-based=0.23-0.53). We estimated the genetic correlation between eating disorder and substance use and disorder phenotypes using data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Four eating disorder phenotypes (anorexia nervosa [AN], AN with binge-eating, AN without binge-eating, and a BN factor score), and eight substance-use-related phenotypes (drinks per week, alcohol use disorder [AUD], …
Diagnostic efficacy of Gallium-68-PSMA PET/CT in 565 patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer

Clinical Translation and First In-Human Use of [44Sc]Sc-PSMA-617 for PET Imaging of Metastasized Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer
2017
Background: Various trivalent radiometals are well suited for labeling of DOTA-conjugated variants of Glu-ureido-based prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) inhibitors. The DOTA-conjugate PSMA-617 has proven high potential in PSMA radioligand therapy (PSMA-RLT) of prostate cancer as well as PET imaging when labeled with lutetium-177 and gallium-68 respectively. Considering the relatively short physical half-life of gallium-68 this positron emitter precludes prolonged acquisition periods, as required for pre-therapeutic dosimetry or intraoperative applications. In this context, the positron emitter scandium-44 is an attractive alternative for PET imaging. We report the synthesis of [44Sc…

Resumen Introduccion y objetivos La enfermedad por coronavirus de 2019 (COVID-19) esta causada por el segundo coronavirus del sindrome respiratorio agudo y grave. La fibrilacion auricular (FA) es comun en situaciones agudas, en las que conlleva mas complicaciones y mortalidad. Metodos Analisis del Registro internacional HOPE (NCT04334291); el objetivo es evaluar la informacion pronostica de FA en pacientes con COVID-19. Se realizo un analisis multivariable y un emparejamiento por puntuacion de propension para evaluar la relacion entre FA y mortalidad. Ademas, se evaluo en estos pacientes el impacto en la mortalidad y los eventos embolicos de la puntuacion CHA2DS2-VASc. Resultados Entre los …
PSMA6 gēna promotera poliadenozīna trakta polimorfismu asociācija ar bronhiālo astmu, aptaukošanos un 1. tipa cukura diabētu Latvijas populācijā
2015
Ubikitīna – proteasomu sistēma ir multienzīmatisks proteāžu komplekss, kas regule dažādus šūnu procesus. Šis sistēmas disregulācija var būt iesaistīta tādos cilvēka patoloģiju rašanās mehanismos kā 2. tipa cukura diabēts, juvenīlais idiopātiskais artrīts un Greivsa slimība. Tas var būt atkarīgs no proteasomas gēnu strukturālām pārmaiņām, kuri kodē proteasomu apakšvienības. Šajā pētījumā mēs analizējam asociāciju starp PSMA6 gēna promotera poly(A) (c. –655 An) mikrosatelīta garuma izmaiņām un bronhiālo astmu (BA), 1. tipa cukura diabētu (T1DM) un aptaukošanos (APT) Latvijas populācijā. PSMA6 gēna poly(A) polimorfisms tika analizēts ar gadījuma / kontroles pētījumu un bioinformātiskām program…
In vitro vēža šūnu modeļsistēmas izstrāde molekulāri mērķētu radionuklīdu testēšanai
2019
Prostatas vēzis ir ceturtais biežāk diagnosticētais vēzis Eiropā, 2018. gadā un tas ir kļuvis par visbiežāk sastopamo vēzi vīriešu vidū. Nozīmīgi klīnisko pētījumu rezultāti prostatas vēža diagnostikā un terapijā ir sasniegti ar radioaktīvi iezīmētu PSMA ligandu 68Ga-PSMA – diagnostikai un 177Lu-PSMA – terapijai. Neiroendokrīnie audzēji ir neviendabīga agresīvu audzēju grupa, kam raksturīgi dažādi un bieži nespecifiski simptomi, kas apgrūtina precīzu audzēja primāro diagnostiku un saslimšanas stadijas precizēšanu. Pašlaik šo audzēju diagnostikā un ārstēšanā izmanto ar SSTR2 ligandiem (somatostatīna analogiem) konjugētus radionuklīdus. Šī darba mērķis bija izveidot uz dažādām šūnu līnijām ba…
