Lomitapide: a novel drug for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia

2014

Lomitapide (Juxtapid® and Lojuxta®; Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., MA, USA), an orally administered inhibitor of the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, inhibits the synthesis and secretion of ApoB-containing lipoproteins and, thus, reduces plasma levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C). Lomitapide has been approved for the therapy of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia patients. After a proof-of-concept Phase II trial, lomitapide has been tested in a multinational single-arm, open-label, 78-week, Phase III trial. Lomitapide effectively reduced mean plasma LDL-C levels by 50% from baseline in 23 adults with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia over a 26-week treatment period and t…

Therapeutic options for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: the role of Lomitapide

2020

Background:Lomitapide (Juxtapid® in US and Lojuxta® in Europe) is the first developed inhibitor of the Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein (MTP) approved as a novel drug for the management of Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). It acts by binding directly and selectively to MTP thus decreasing the assembly and secretion of the apo-B containing lipoproteins both in the liver and in the intestine.Aims:The present review aims at summarizing the recent knowledge on lomitapide in the management of HoFH.Results:The efficacy and safety of lomitapide have been evaluated in several trials and it has been shown a reduction of the plasma levels of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol …

Lomitapide does not alter PCSK9 and Lp(a) levels in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia patients: analysis on cytokines and lipid profile

2021

Abstract Lomitapide, a drug for the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia patients, reduced total and LDL cholesterol but no significant changes were observed on PCSK9 and Lp(a) plasma levels. Some changes of inflammatory mediators were also observed, including hsCRP, which may suggest an anti-inflammatory effect.

Reporte de las familias sobre los patrones de actividad física extraescolar en niñas y niños de educación infantil

2016

Early childhood education is an important opportunity in order to promote healthy habits. In doing so, it has been shown that parents attitudes, values and knowledge in relationship with physical activity could be determine children´s behaviours. For this reason, the main aim of this descriptive-exploratory study is to determine the parents perception of physical activity patterns of children between 3-4 years old from a public school of Valencia, Spain. It was used a previously validated questionnaire. Only 50% of the families reported that children participated in leisure time activities outside school. Of them, 50% and 38% participated during 2 and 1 time, respectively. 60% and 22% repor…

Recuperando el Ecodesarrollo, a través de la Economía Substantiva, para interpretar la agricultura familiar ribereña del Amazonas (Brasil)

2015

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar e interpretar la agricultura familiar ribereña fundamentada teóricamente en la economía substantiva para explicar las particularidades y las diferencias de los factores endógenos que definen esta agricultura como una agricultura no capitalista, así como profundizar en los procesos dinámicos endógenos capaces de impulsar un desarrollo desde dentro que sea sostenible social, económica y ambientalmente en coherencia con los principios básicos establecidos por el ecodesarrollo. La metodología utilizada es de carácter cualitativo cuyo objetivo es profundizar en las cualidades de los fenómenos y procesos estudiados, buscando abarcarlos en su conjunto. Fuero…

Forest Fragmentation Increases Nest Predation in the Eurasian Treecreeper

2004

We used long-term breeding data to monitor the influences of fragmentation and habitat composi- tion at different spatial scales on the reproductive success of Eurasian Treecreepers (Certhia familiaris) breeding in nest boxes. We collected data from the same forest patches (2.7-65.1 ha in size) during seven breeding sea- sons. Nest predation varied considerably over the years and was the primary cause of nesting failure (mean annual rate of 21.6 ± 12.8%). Nest predation explained most of the variation in fledgling production during the study period. Landscape-level fragmentation (radius of 500 m from territory center) affected nest predation more than did fragmentation on the territory scal…

Que voten los niños. Reflexiones en torno a una propuesta de David Runciman

2021

De unos años a esta parte, el catedrático de Teoría política de la Universidad de Cambridge, David Runciman, viene defendiendo una extensión del derecho al voto que incluya a los niños y niñas en Educación Primaria, esto es, desde los seis años hacia adelante. No es el único: se trata de un debate vivo en algunos círculos académicos, que por el momento se concreta en la petición de rebajar la edad de sufragio a los dieciséis, como sucede en Austria (Marshall, 2017). Este texto trata de identificar las consecuencias sociales, políticas y educativas que se derivarían de la extensión del derecho a voto a los seis años, y concluye que tal medida sería deseable.

Recensión: Cánovas, P. y Sahuquillo, M.ª P. (2014) Familias y menores. Retos y propuestas pedagógicas. Valencia, Tirant Humanidades.

2015

Tras disfrutar con la lectura del libro Familias y menores. Retos y propuestas pedagógicas me vienen a la mente algunas de las palabras que dijo mi Maestro, D. Juan Escámez Sánchez, en su discurso de investidura como Hijo Honorífico de su ciudad natal, Bullas: «Los momentos clave de mi vida, como los de la vida de todos, se produjeron en la más tierna infancia. De ahí la primacía de las familias en la conformación de la identidad, aunque después haya ido reescribiendo tal identidad en el fluir de las experiencias vividas a lo largo del tiempo. La familia es la primera unidad de acogida». Estas palabras conectan con la esencia del libro que tengo entre manos.
