Perinatal Western Diet Consumption Leads to Profound Plasticity and GABAergic Phenotype Changes within Hypothalamus and Reward Pathway from Birth to …
2017
This article is part of the Research Topic Early Life Origins of Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes.; International audience; Perinatal maternal consumption of energy dense food increases the risk of obesity in children. This is associated with an overconsumption of palatable food that is consumed for its hedonic property. The underlying mechanism that links perinatal maternal diet and offspring preference for fat is still poorly understood. In this study, we aim at studying the influence of maternal high-fat/high-sugar diet feeding [western diet (WD)] during gestation and lactation on the reward pathways controlling feeding in the rat offspring from birth to sexual maturity. We performed a longit…
Menopausal Status and Physical Activity Are Independently Associated With Cardiovascular Risk Factors of Healthy Middle-Aged Women: Cross-Sectional a…
2019
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of mortality in women in developed countries. CVD risk rises with age, yet for women there is a rapid increase in CVD risk that occurs after the onset of menopause. This observation suggests the presence of factors in the middle-aged women that accelerate the progression of CVD independent of chronological aging. Leisure time physical activity (LTPA) is a well-established protective factor against CVD. However, its role in attenuating atherogenic lipid profile changes and CVD risk in post-menopausal women has not been well-established. The present study is part of the Estrogenic Regulation of Muscle Apoptosis (ERMA) study, a population-based…
From research question to dissemination: how to design, analyse and present study results
2018
Today, the term “study” is very frequently used in quite a broad sense: survey, clinical trial, analysis, research and other terms with deeply different meanings are often generally indicated as “studies”. A “study” can be generally defined as a process composed of several actions aimed to verify one or more hypotheses (objectives), with the ultimate goal of sharing the answers (results) with a target audience, in the form of a scientific paper, presentation or poster.
Soporte telefónico al paciente con EPOC en tiempos de la COVID-19
2020
Resumen: La imposición del estado de alarma por el Gobierno Español como principal medida para evitar el contagio ha supuesto un cambio en la aproximación clínica al paciente crónico. Aunque las nuevas tecnologías de la comunicación nos ofrecen numerosas formas de establecer un contacto directo, pero en la distancia, las peculiaridades del paciente con EPOC hacen que con frecuencia esta atención sanitaria se vea reducida al teléfono. El reto de atender a los pacientes con EPOC por teléfono supone una complejidad añadida a la atención sanitaria. La entrevista se realizará sin la exploración del paciente, sin nuevas pruebas complementarias y sin poder verificar la técnica inhalatoria. Por tan…

Stridor in children
2018
A 16-month-old boy was referred to the emergency department of the Children's Clinical University Hospital (Riga, Latvia) due to cough and noisy breathing for 3 months. The complaints seemed to have worsened over time with coughing fits 2–4 days a week and the boy not being able to tolerate solid food (leading to vomiting) during the fits. In between the bouts, he felt fine. Diminished food intake was noted over the last month. Over the 3-month period, no other symptoms were noted. The father of the child was fixated on a diagnosis of asthma and categorically denied the possibility of any choking attacks after eating or playing with small objects. The boy had been seen by pulmonologist once…
Fever and dyspnoea in a tracheostomised patient
2020
A 65-year-old man was referred for evaluation of acute onset of fever, productive cough and dyspnoea. He had previously received a diagnosis of laryngeal carcinoma, which had been treated with laryngectomy and bilateral laterocervical lymphadenectomy, followed by chemotherapy. He underwent plastic surgery of the laryngocutaneous fistula, and a positron emission tomography (PET)- computed tomography (CT) examination performed during follow-up showed 18-FDG (2-fluoro-2-deoxyd- glucose) lung uptake in the apical right portion. He had a smoking history and his regular medications included dexamethasone, metoclopramide, omeprazole, furosemide, cholecalciferol and pregabalin. He had a history of …

TEMPORARY AESTHETIC RECONSTRUCTION OF A FRACTURED FRONT TOOTH DURING ENDODONTIC TREATMENT BY MEANS OF A HALLOW POST MADE IN A DENTAL OFFICE. A CASE S…
2012
A fractured front tooth at gum level triggers significant changes in human physiognomy. If, in addition to this, a chronic apical lesion occurs, the aesthetic treatment is postponed in most cases. This article describes the way in which we managed to temporarily restore the aesthetic aspect of some patients with fractured superior incisors and chronic apical lesions using a hollow post made in the dental office.
