A New Species ofTelenomusHaliday (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) Associated with Egg Batches of the Pine Processionary Moth,Thaumetopoea pityocampa(Dennis…
2009
Telenomus thaumetopoeae Buhl sp. n. is described from northeastern València (Peninsular Spain) taking as starting point females parasitizing the egg-batches of the Pine Processionary Moth, Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Dennis et Schiffermüller, 1775). Its morphological affinities with the most closely related species and parasitism data are offered.
Clinical Changes of Respiratory Parameters in Institutionalized Older Adults after a Physiotherapy Program Combining Respiratory and Musculoskeletal …
2022
Nowadays pulmonary diseases are an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality. Diaphragmatic breathing is a controlled-breathing technique that aims to optimize thoracoabdominal movements. The aim of this study was to apply a respiratory and musculoskeletal physiotherapy program in institutionalized older adults and to assess the effects on their pulmonary function tests and oxygen saturation. A randomized double-blind clinical trial was conducted with thirty institutionalized older adults, randomly assigned to a control group (CG), who conducted musculoskeletal exercises; or an experimental group (EG) who, in addition, carried out diaphragmatic breathing, administered for eigh…
No Difference in Penetrance between Truncating and Missense/Aberrant Splicing Pathogenic Variants in MLH1 and MSH2: A Prospective Lynch Syndrome Data…
2021
Background. Lynch syndrome is the most common genetic predisposition for hereditary cancer. Carriers of pathogenic changes in mismatch repair (MMR) genes have an increased risk of developing colorectal (CRC), endometrial, ovarian, urinary tract, prostate, and other cancers, depending on which gene is malfunctioning. In Lynch syndrome, differences in cancer incidence (penetrance) according to the gene involved have led to the stratification of cancer surveillance. By contrast, any differences in penetrance determined by the type of pathogenic variant remain unknown. Objective. To determine cumulative incidences of cancer in carriers of truncating and missense or aberrant splicing pathogenic …
Role of thyroid hormones in burning mouth syndrome. Systematic review
2022
Background: Burning mouth syndrome is an idiopathic condition characterized by burning pain in a normalappearing oral mucosa lasting at least four to six months. In the case of secondary burning mouth syndrome is associated with local or systemic factors (such as thyroid disorders) that can cause these symptoms. The aim of this review was to study the relationship between thyroid disorders and burning mouth syndrome. Material and Methods: The present study followed the PRISMA guidelines. An electronic search strategy was developed for PubMed/Medline, Scopus and Cochrane. The following combination of keywords and Boolean operators were used: Thyroid AND burning mouth; Thyroid AND burning mou…
Antithrombotic Therapy in Elderly Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes
2022
The treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in elderly patients continues to be a challenge because of the characteS.G.B.ristics of this population and the lack of data and specific recommendations. This review summarizes the current evidence about critical points of oral antithrombotic therapy in elderly patients. To this end, we discuss the peculiarities and differences reported referring to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in ACS management in elderly patients and what might be the best option considering these population characteristics. Furthermore, we analyze antithrombotic strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), with a particular focus on those cases that also presen…
La periodontitis como factor de riesgo en los pacientes con cardiopatía isquémica
2004
La patología cardiovascular y en especial la cardiopatía isquémica (CI) se encuentran entre las principales causas de muerte en el mundo occidental. Recientemente se ha incrementado el interés en investigar la relación entre la cardiopatía isquémica y diversas patologías infecciosas como desencadenantes de la misma, como se ha observado con la Clamydia pneumoniae y el Helicobacter pylori. La periodontitis también se ha relacionado con el incremento de riesgo de aparición de enfermedad coronaria, debido a que ambas patologías presentan algunas características comunes como la edad, el sexo y el hábito tabáquico entre otras. Existen muchas similitudes entre la patología vascular inducida por b…
Staging, neurocognition and social functioning in bipolar disorder.
2018
Introduction: Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with significant neurocognitive and functional impairment, which may progress across stages. The ‘latent stage' of BD remains understudied. This cross-sectional study assessed staging, neurocognition and social functioning among BD patients and their healthy siblings.Methods: Four groups were included: euthymic type I BD patients in the early (n = 25) and late (n = 23) stages, their healthy siblings (latent stage; n = 23) and healthy controls (n = 21). All 92 subjects underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological battery of processing speed, verbal learning/memory, visual memory, working memory, verbal fluency, executive cognition, and motor …
Malformación de Arnold-Chiari: la pérdida de la sonrisa
2014
La Malformación de Arnold-Chiari es una enfermedad rara caracterizada por la presencia de síntomas insidiosos que pueden suponer un retraso en el diagnóstico. Las características sintomatológicas como el dolor, la pérdida de fuerza progresiva, los mareos, etc., junto con los efectos secundarios de los fármacos indicados para el tratamiento sintomático (anticonvulsionantes, antidepresivos, analgésicos, etc.) supone una pérdida de la calidad de vida de la persona. Aspectos de la calidad de vida que en un entorno biomédico suelen pasar desapercibidos, y juntamente, con la falta de repercusión exterior de la patología, supone la incomprensión de las personas del entorno. Con el fin de poder con…
Antibiotic susceptibility of the bacteria causing odontogenic infections
2006
Objetivos: Identificar la flora bacteriana y su susceptibilidad a varios antibióticos utilizados en infecciones odontogénicas de localización periapical y en las pericoronaritis del tercer molar inferior, para poder adaptar convenientemente el tratamiento antibiótico a las exigencias de tales infecciones, y evitar así los efectos secundarios y los sobretratamientos con antibióticos. Material y métodos: Se han seleccionado con unos criterios de inclusión y de exclusión a 64 pacientes que presentaban una infección odontogénica. Se recogieron muestras de las lesiones en condiciones de máxima asepsia, evitando la contaminación por flora saprófita bucal. Las muestras se sembraron en medios de cu…
Global, regional, and national burden of traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury, 1990-2016: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Dis…
2019
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI) are increasingly recognised as global health priorities in view of the preventability of most injuries and the complex and expensive medical care they necessitate. We aimed to measure the incidence, prevalence, and years of life lived with disability (YLDs) for TBI and SCI from all causes of injury in every country, to describe how these measures have changed between 1990 and 2016, and to estimate the proportion of TBI and SCI cases caused by different types of injury. METHODS: We used results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors (GBD) Study 2016 to measure the global, regional, and national burden of TBI an…
