Dietary Quality Changes According to the Preceding Maximum Weight: A Longitudinal Analysis in the PREDIMED-Plus Randomized Trial
2020
One-year dietary quality change according to the preceding maximum weight in a lifestyle intervention program (PREDIMED-Plus trial, 55–75-year-old overweight or obese adults; n = 5695) was assessed. A validated food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary intake. A total of 3 groups were made according to the difference between baseline measured weight and lifetime maximum reported weight: (a) participants entering the study at their maximum weight, (b) moderate weight loss maintainers (WLM), and (c) large WLM. Data were analyzed by General Linear Model. All participants improved average lifestyle. Participants entering the study at their maximum weight were the most susceptible …
Blood pressure values and depression in hypertensive individuals at high cardiovascular risk
2014
Background: Hypertension and depression are both important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, the association of blood pressure on and depression has not been completely established. This study aims to analyze whether depression may influence the control of blood pressure in hypertensive individuals at high cardiovascular risk. Methods: Cross-sectional study, embedded within the PREDIMED clinical trial, of 5954 hypertensive patients with high cardiovascular risk factor profiles. The relationship between blood pressure control and depression was analyzed. A multivariate analysis (logistic and log-linear regression), adjusting for potential confounders (socio-demographic …
Global variation in anastomosis and end colostomy formation following left-sided colorectal resection
2019
Background: End colostomy rates following colorectal resection vary across institutions in high-income settings, being influenced by patient, disease, surgeon and system factors. This study aimed to assess global variation in end colostomy rates after left-sided colorectal resection. Methods: This study comprised an analysis of GlobalSurg-1 and -2 international, prospective, observational cohort studies (2014, 2016), including consecutive adult patients undergoing elective or emergency left-sided colorectal resection within discrete 2-week windows. Countries were grouped into high-, middle- and low-income tertiles according to the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI). Factors associ…
Polyphenol intake and mortality risk: a re-analysis of the PREDIMED trial
2014
[Background] Polyphenols may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other chronic diseases due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as their beneficial effects on blood pressure, lipids and insulin resistance. However, no previous epidemiological studies have evaluated the relationship between the intake of total polyphenols intake and polyphenol subclasses with overall mortality. Our aim was to evaluate whether polyphenol intake is associated with all-cause mortality in subjects at high cardiovascular risk.

La diversidad cultural del primer neolítico (VII cal. BP) en el mediterráneo occidental. Una análisis desde los sistemas complejos y la simulación ba…
2015
Esta tesis doctoral aborda el estudio de la variabilidad cultural del primer Neolítico en el Mediterráneo occidental partiendo de la hipótesis del autoestop cultural. En este contexto el principal objetivo ligado a la expansión del Neolítico que queremos contestar con la elaboración de la presente tesis doctoral es cuál fue el mecanismo o mecanismos de transmisión que afectaron en la formación de las culturas neolíticas del Mediterráneo occidental. Dicho de otro modo, nuestra intención es investigar si existe un patrón cultural claro que podría estar relacionado con una expansión desde el sur de Italia, y si dicha homogeneidad debe asociarse a la hipótesis del autoestop cultural "Cultura…
Modelización computacional cardiaca
2020
Resumen Las enfermedades cardiovasculares tienen en la actualidad un gran impacto social y economico y constituyen una de las principales causas de mortalidad y morbilidad. Los modelos computacionales personalizados del corazon estan demostrando ser utiles tanto para ayudar a comprender los mecanismos subyacentes a las patologias cardiacas como para optimizar su tratamiento prediciendo la respuesta del paciente. En este contexto, se ha puesto en marcha la Red Espanola de Investigacion en Modelizacion Computacional Cardiaca (V-Heart SN). El objetivo general de V-Heart SN es el desarrollo de un modelo computacional multifisico y multiescala integrado del corazon. Este objetivo general se abor…
Modelización computacional cardiaca
2020
[EN] Cardiovascular diseases currently have a major social and economic impact, constituting one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Personalized computational models of the heart are demonstrating their usefulness both to help understand the mechanisms underlying cardiac disease, and to optimize their treatment and predict the patient's response. Within this framework, the Spanish Research Network for Cardiac Computational Modelling (VHeart-SN) has been launched. The general objective of the VHeart-SN network is the development of an integrated, modular and multiscale multiphysical computational model of the heart. This general objective is addressed through the following spe…
Implicaciones del turismo masivo en un destino de cruceros
2020
[EN] One of the types of tourism that can generate greater problems of overtourism is cruise ship tourism, given the large number of people who disembark at a port of call to visit the destination. For this reason, the present study aims to analyze the perception of massification among cruise ship tourists visiting an important Mediterranean port of call and how it influences their satisfaction with their visit. To this end, using structural equation models and from a sample of cruise ship passengers, the model proposed in this study is tested. The results indicate that of the two typologies of massification analysed, it is spatial massification that contributes most to the perception of to…
Inmigración y modelos de integración: la evolución de un proceso inacabado.
2013
Este artículo ofrece una perspectiva panorámica de diferentes modelos2 de integración, como categorías teórico-abstractas que se han visto más o menos reflejadas en las políticas de determinados países. La evolución en materia de política migratoria ha implicado la necesidad de políticas de integración. Si bien existen diferentes modelos de integración, no existe una integración modélica. Aunque la evolución desde modelos segregacionistas o asimilacionistas hacia modelos multiculturalistas o interculturalistas ha supuesto un avance en reconocimiento y respeto de los derechos e identidad cultural de las minorías inmigradas, este progreso teórico exige una plasmación fáctica, verificable medi…
