Next-Generation Sequencing Identifies Potential Actionable Targets in Paediatric Sarcomas
2021
Background: Bone and soft-tissue sarcomas represent 13% of all paediatric malignancies. International contributions to introduce next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches into clinical application are currently developing. We present the results from the Precision Medicine program for children with sarcomas at a reference centre. Results: Samples of 70 paediatric sarcomas were processed for histopathological analysis, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) with a consensus gene panel. Pathogenic alterations were reported and, if existing, targeted recommendations were translated to the clinic. Seventy paediatric patients with sarcomas…

2016
The research leading to these results was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Health (FIS-PI11/00610, FIS-PI041436, FIS-PI081151, FIS-PI042018, and FIS-PI09/02311), the European Union (EU) (FP7-ENV-2011 cod 282957 and HEALTH.2010.2.4.5-1), the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Red INMA G03/176, CB06/02/0041, FIS-FEDER 03/1615, 04/1509, 04/1112, 04/1931, 05/1079, 05/1052, 06/1213, 07/0314, 09/02647, 11/01007, 11/02591, CP11/00178, FIS-PI06/0867, and FIS-PS09/00090), the Conselleria de Sanitat Generalitat Valenciana, the Generalitat de Catalunya-CIRIT (1999SGR 00241), the Obre Social Cajastur, the Universidad de Oviedo, the Department of Health of the Basque Government (2005111093 and 2009111069),…
A Genome-Wide Association Study of Attention Function in a Population-Based Sample of Children
2016
BACKGROUND: Attention function filters and selects behaviorally relevant information. This capacity is impaired in some psychiatric disorders and has been proposed as an endophenotype for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder; however, its genetic basis remains largely unknown. This study aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) associated with attention function. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The discovery sample included 1655 children (7-12 years) and the replication sample included 546 children (5-8 years). Five attention outcomes were assessed using the computerized Attentional Network Test (ANT): alerting, orienting, executive attention, Hit Reaction time (HRT) and the stand…
Pathways of care for HIV infected children in Beira, Mozambique: pre-post intervention study to assess impact of task shifting
2018
Abstract Background In 2013, Mozambique implemented task-shifting (TS) from clinical officers to maternal and child nurses to improve care for HIV positive children < 5 years old. A retrospective, pre-post intervention study was designed to evaluate effectiveness of a new pathway of care in a sample of Beira District Local Health Facilities (LHFs), the primary, local, community healthcare services. Methods The study was conducted by accessing registries of At Risk Children Clinics (ARCCs) and HIV Health Services. Two time periods, pre- and post-intervention, were compared using a set of endpoints. Variables distribution was explored using descriptive statistics. T-student, Mann Whitney and …
Effects of maternal singing during kangaroo care on maternal anxiety, wellbeing, and mother-infant relationship after preterm birth: a mixed methods …
2020
Introduction: Preterm birth may disturb the typical development of the mother– infant relationship, when physical separation and emotional distress in the neonatal intensive care unit may increase maternal anxiety and create challenges for early interaction. This cluster-randomized controlled trial examined the effects of maternal singing during kangaroo care on mothers’ anxiety, wellbeing, and the early mother– infant relationship after preterm birth. Method: In the singing intervention group, a certified music therapist guided the mothers (n = 24) to sing or hum during daily kangaroo care during 33–40 gestational weeks (GW). In the control group, the mothers (n = 12) conducted daily kanga…
El teatre actual per a infants al País Valencià: Pluja Teatre (1980-1995)
2014
El teatre actual per a infants al País Valencià: Pluja Teatre (1980-1995) és un estudi que aspira a assolir un doble objectiu, d’una banda, la descripció de l’activitat teatral al País Valencià des del final del franquisme fins a la primera meitat dels anys noranta, tot subratllant la tasca que du a terme aquesta companyia de Gandia (la Safor) durant aquest període. De l’altra, l’establiment d’un esquema d’anàlisi dels espectacles per a infants que, a més de permetre aprofundir en els trets principals de les obres d’aquesta companyia, possibilite una visió al màxim d’exhaustiva de qualsevol espectacle teatral. Tenint en compte aquest doble objectiu, en aquest treball es focalitza tota l’ate…
International BEAT-PCD Consensus Statement for Infection Prevention and Control for Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in collaboration with ERN-LUNG PCD Cor…
2021
Introduction In primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) impaired mucociliary clearance leads to recurrent airway infections and progressive lung destruction, and concern over chronic airway infection and patient-to-patient transmission is considerable. So far, there has been no defined consensus on how to control infection across centres caring for patients with PCD. Within the BEAT-PCD network, COST Action and ERS CRC together with the ERN-Lung PCD core a first initiative has now been taken towards creating such a consensus statement. Methods A multidisciplinary international PCD expert panel was set up to create a consensus statement for infection prevention and control (IP&C) for PCD, covering …

Abuso Sexual Infantil: una Revisión de los Síntomas Asociados con el Trastorno Por Estrés Postraumático
2011
La incidencia de personas que han sufrido abusos sexuales durante su infancia o adolescencia es elevada. Algunas de estas personas han tenido que convivir durante mucho tiempo con su agresor, algunas veces de forma física y otras en su mente. Ven como su vida se va poco a poco desquebrajando, sufren todo tipo de dolencias físicas, dificultades sexuales y problemas psicológicos. Cuando el abuso sexual infantil ocurre a edades muy tempranas y se ha prolongado a lo largo del tiempo, la relación con el desarrollo de Trastornos de Ansiedad y en concreto del Trastorno Por Estrés Postraumático es más que significativa. El objetivo de la presente revisión teórica es revisar la información reciente …
Factores inhibidores de la revelación de abuso sexual infantil.
2016
A large number of children sexually abused never reveal their victimization. In some of the cases that do it, the latency of the disclosure is of years or even decades. Al though there are many studies on the factors that influence the revelation of Child Sex Abuse (CSA), in Spain there are no recent publications that encompass and synthesize the currently available scientific evidence about the factors related to the different figures of the victim, the perpetrator and the relationship between them. In this work we revised several studies and meta-studies about the reasons that lead the victims to keep the abuse secret. To the difficulties that generally children present to reveal a secret…
