Zero-contrast percutaneous coronary interventions to preserve kidney function in patients with severe renal impairment and hemodialysis subjects
2019
Introduction Zero-contrast percutaneous coronary intervention (zero-PCI) is a new method for prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, evidence for its feasibility, safety and clinical utility is limited to reports of single cases or series of patients. Aim To present outcomes of zero-PCI in patients with severe CKD, including hemodialysis subjects, who were treated with this procedure in order to preserve their renal function. Material and methods Twenty-nine zero-PCIs were performed, mostly as a staged procedure, in 20 patients with advanced CKD. In this group, 4 patients were treated with hemodialysis but presented pr…
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) and ischemic heart disease. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
2014
Several lines of evidence demonstrate that the immune system plays a pivotal role in development and progression of ischemic heart disease (IHD). More recently, a series of biological and clinical investigations has generated new interest about the existence of a relationship between a specific class of immunoglobulin, that is immunoglobulin E (IgE), and IHD. Data obtained in several epidemiological studies have convincingly demonstrated that the concentration of total serum IgEs is significantly increased in patients with IHD and often correlates with the prognosis. The putative mechanisms are essentially mediated by a physiological interaction between IgEs and mast cells, which triggers t…
POLYPHENOLS FROM RED WINE MODULATE IMMUNE RESPONSIVENESS: BIOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE.
2008
Many studies have been conducted on the effects of red wine polyphenols on certain diseases, primarily, coronary heart disease (CHD) and, in this respect, evidence has been demonstrated that intake of red wine is associated with a reduction of CHD symptomatology. In this framework, the purpose of this review is to illustrate the effects of polyphenols on immune cells from human healthy peripheral blood. Data will show that polyphenols are able to stimulate both innate and adaptive immune responses. In particular, the release of cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-12, interferon (IFN)-gamma, and IL-10 as well as immunoglobulins may be important for host protection in different immune related …
El tesoro medieval de la Catedral de Valencia
2020
Esta tesis doctoral se ha centrado en la investigación del tesoro medieval de la Catedral de Valencia con el objetivo principal de actualizar todo aquello que se había dicho sobre su origen y formación, e intentar dar un paso más, estableciendo un nuevo enfoque con el que tratar de explicar este tipo de piezas de gran valor histórico y artístico. Con esto hemos querido dejar patente la importancia del periodo medieval en la formación y posterior desarrollo del tesoro, en consonancia con el auge que experimentó la ciudad entre los siglos XIII y XVI. Para ello en un primer momento se ha comprobado que los estudios que iniciaron este interés, como los de José Sanchis Sivera y Peregrín Llorens …
Forme della rappresentanza nel regno di Sicilia: circolazione di modelli istituzionali nella Corona d'Aragona
2009
Tra la fine del XII e la metà del XIII secolo, il meccanismo parlamentare comincia ad affermarsi in maniera più o meno omogenea in tutte le monarchie europee, dalla Francia all''Inghilterra, dalla Corona d''Aragona alla Sicilia. Questo saggio ripercorre le analogie fra i sistemi parlamentari dalla loro istituzione fino al XV secolo
Effect of Bariatric Surgery on Intima Media Thickness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
2022
Background: Obesity, and in particular extreme obesity, as a global health problem is an important risk factor for many diseases, including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD). Bariatric surgery might stop or slow atherogenesis by decreasing excessive weight in the early stages of atherogenesis, by suppressing low-grade systemic inflammation as well as by inhibiting oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this meta-analysis was to provide an answer to whether bariatric surgery has a significant effect on intima-media thickness (IMT) which is a surrogate marker of early atherosclerosis and has a good correlation with atherosclerotic coronary heart disease. Methods:…
Biopsychosocial Profiles of Patients With Cardiac Disease in Remote Rehabilitation Processes : Mixed Methods Grounded Theory Approach
2021
Background: Digital development has caused rehabilitation services and rehabilitees to become increasingly interested in using technology as a part of rehabilitation. This study was based on a previously published study that categorized 4 groups of patients with cardiac disease based on different experiences and attitudes toward technology (e-usage groups): feeling outsider, being uninterested, reflecting benefit, and enthusiastic using. Objective: This study identifies differences in the biopsychosocial profiles of patients with cardiac disease in e-usage groups and deepen the understanding of these profiles in cardiac rehabilitation. Methods: Focus group interviews and measurements were c…

Fear of COVID-19 as a buffer in the relationship between perceived stress and life satisfaction in the Polish population at the beginning of the glob…
2020
BackgroundCOVID-19 is a significant threat to human life and health. It makes people experience fear, stress, anxiety and mood disor-ders, which have a negative impact on their psychological well-being. The aim of the study was to determine the relation-ship between fear of COVID-19, perceived stress, and life satisfaction during the coronavirus pandemic.Participants and procedure907 Polish people (522 women and 385 men) participated in this study. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FOC-6) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) were used in the study.ResultsFear of COVID-19 and perceived stress were positively correlated with each other and both negatively…
