Estudio de la migración neuronal de las células nerviosas de la SVZ en la enfermedad de Alzheimer
2021
En el cerebro adulto de la mayoría de los mamíferos el nicho neurogénico con mayor capacidad neurogénica es la zona ventricular-subventricular (V-SVZ). Esta región se encuentra distribuida a lo largo de las paredes de los ventrículos laterales. La capacidad neurogénica que presenta esta región se debe a la presencia de las denominadas células B. Además nos encontramos con otros tipos celulares como son las células tipo C o progenitores intermedios, las tipo A o migradoras y las tipo E o células ependimarias. Las células tipo B son capaces de dar lugar a las células tipo C que finalmente generan las células tipo A. En condiciones fisiológicas, las células tipo A migran principalmente hasta l…
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…

[Objective] To describe the characteristics of patients with very-late-onset myasthenia gravis (MG).
Efectos de la exposición crónica al etanol sobre el tráfico intracelular y citoesqueleto como factores implicados en la migración neuronal
2013
El consumo de etanol durante la gestación puede inducir una serie de alteraciones graves en el desarrollo del feto, la manifestación más extrema da lugar al Síndrome Alcohólico Fetal (SAF). La exposición prenatal al alcohol es la causa conocida y, además evitable, más importante de retraso mental en el mundo occidental. Además de déficits cognitivos, los niños con SAF presentan múltiples anomalías estructurales en el sistema nervioso central, como reducción de la masa cerebral, y a nivel celular, daños en la migración neuronal, en el proceso de formación de espinas dendríticas y establecimiento de sinapsis. En la actualidad, los mecanismos moleculares implicados en la teratogénesis inducida…
Neuroprotective potential of Ginkgo biloba in retinal diseases
2019
AbstractLike other tissues of the central nervous system, the retina is susceptible to damage by oxidative processes that result in several neurodegenerative disease such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, ischaemic retinal disease, retinal disease produced by light oxidation, and detached retina, among other diseases. The use of antioxidant substances is a solution to some health problems caused by oxidative stress, because they regulate redox homeostasis and reduce oxidative stress. This is important for neurodegeneration linked to oxidation processes. In line with this, Ginkgo biloba is a medicinal plant with excellent antioxidant properties whose effect…
A strategy to improve the comprehension and learning in morphological science: Powerpoint presentation
2003
In this paper, a hypertext to the Morphological Sciences in biological area was developed and evaluated. The application with format of digital atlas approaches Anatomical, Histological and Functional concepts about the man and animals in integrated form. PowerPoint presentation was developed to operators which experience in the handling of software are limited. This digital resource was qualified as a good complement of other didactic materials. In this knowledge area offers opportunity to develop significant knowledge to improve the understanding and learning through an interactive methodology.
Impact of the Relationship of Stress and the Immune System in the Appearance of Alzheimer’s Disease
2016
The understanding of how the immune system works, as well as its relationship with the stress level, seems to be important at the start of the Alzheimer’s disease (AD). To analyze this, immunoglobulin A (IgA) and cortisol in saliva were measured using ELISA in patients with mild AD and healthy volunteers, and the production of both biomarkers was compared and correlated. In participants without AD, IgA was higher when cortisol was lower, and the opposite happened in participants with AD, with the quantification in saliva being a suitable method to determine it.

Effects of progressive resistance exercise in akinetic-rigid Parkinson's disease patients: a randomized controlled trial.
2017
Progressive resistance exercise (PRE) can have a positive effect in individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the effect of PRE may vary with the clinical subtype of PD. To date, no study has assessed the effects of PRE in the different subtypes of PD. AIM: The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of PRE in PD patients with akinesia and rigidity (AR-subtype). DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial was conducted. SETTING: Outpatients clinics of the Bierzo Parkinson Association (Ponferrada, Spain) and the Asturias Parkinson Association (Oviedo, Spain). POPULATION: Twenty-eight patients with AR-subtype PD were randomized into an Experimental Group (EG, N.=13) and Control…
Does Music Therapy Improve Anxiety and Depression in Alzheimer's Patients?
2017
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of a short protocol of music therapy as a tool to reduce stress and improve the emotional state in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease. METHODS: A sample of 25 patients with mild Alzheimer's received therapy based on the application of a music therapy session lasting 60 min. Before and after the therapy, patient saliva was collected to quantify the level of salivary cortisol using the Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) immunoassay technique and a questionnaire was completed to measure anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). RESULTS: The results show that the application of this therapy lowers th…
