Fibromyalgia is a condition characterised by chronic widespread muscle pain and fatigue, sleep disturbances, cognitive disorders, mood disturbance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness manual therapy technique performed with moderate digital pressure in women fibromyalgia (n = 24). In randomised, controlled trial, participants were randomly assigned experimental group or placebo group. assisted sessions based on connective tissue massage, whereas “treated” ultrasound...
Abstract Background Understanding the role of children in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission is critical to guide decision-making for schools pandemic. We aimed describe SARS-CoV-2 among and adult staff summer schools. Methods During July 2020, we prospectively recruited attending Barcelona who had infection. Primary infections were identified through (1) a surveillance program 22 1905 participants, involving weekly saliva sampling reverse-transcription...
Background: Beach handball (BH) is a sport in which sporting performance influenced, together with team interaction, by individual terms of strength. Body composition one the main factors for sports and eating habits can condition this variable. The Mediterranean diet (MD) significantly reduce risk mortality or cardiovascular disease. In addition, Spanish Ministry Agriculture, Food Environment carries out different campaigns to promote it among young athletes, establishing as suitable...
COVID-19 affects children to a lesser extent than adults but they can still get infected and transmit SARS-CoV-2 their contacts. Field deployable non-invasive sensitive diagnostic techniques are needed evaluate the infectivity dynamics of in pediatric populations guide public health interventions, particularly if this population is not fully vaccinated. We evaluated utility high-throughput Luminex assays quantify saliva IgM, IgA IgG antibodies against five spike (S) nucleocapsid (N) antigens...
Background: Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections and may enhance transmission HIV. However, population-based estimates HSV-2 prevalence correlates infection are rare. Goals: To obtain to identify demographic sexual behavioral among women in low-income communities Northern California. Study Design: A randomized, single-stage, cluster sample, cross-sectional survey age 18 29 years who reside 1990 US Census block groups at lowest tenth...
To evaluate whether patients with high-serum progesterone levels before frozen embryo transfer (FET) under hormonal replacement therapy present worse reproductive outcomes.A cohort retrospective study.A university-affiliated fertility center.A total of 3,183 FET cycles in receiving between March 2009 and December 2020 were included. The luteal phase was covered 200 mg per 8 hours vaginal micronized either alone or combination a daily subcutaneous injection 25 progesterone. A 1,360...
Capsule The Asian Hornet Vespa velutina was the second most important species in diet of European Honey Buzzard Pernis apivorus southwestern Europe, just four years after appearance exotic wasp study area.Aims To assess consumption invasive by following Hornet's there 2014.Methods In northwestern Spain, we installed trail cameras in, and collected comb remains from, nine nests Buzzards (five 2018 2019). We estimated representation birds' diet, as well number colonies attacked. also compared...
Abstract Background Surveillance tools to estimate viral transmission dynamics in young populations are essential guide recommendations for school opening and management during epidemics. Ideally, sensitive techniques required detect low load exposures among asymptomatic children. We aimed SARS-CoV-2 infection rates children adult a school-like environment the initial COVID-19 pandemic waves using an antibody-based field-deployable non-invasive approach. Methods Saliva antibody conversion...
Abstract Differential diagnosis between Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) and other causes of systemic inflammatory response such as sepsis is complex. The aims were to evaluate the differences pediatric patients with MIS-C develop a score distinguish both entities. This was retrospective study that compared demographic, clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic data (cohort 2020–2022) (cohorts 2010–2014 2017–2018) admitted Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) tertiary care...
Varios estudios han sugerido que la tasa de hospitalización por COVID-19 en niños y adolescentes puede reflejar prevalencia infección más gravedad enfermedad. El objetivo este estudio fue describir las características clínicas pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados con SARS-CoV-2, el fin comprender si principal motivo ingreso. Estudio cohortes retrospectivo incluyó a cero 18 años SARS-CoV-2 o síndrome inflamatorio multisistémico pediátrico vinculado (SIM-PedS), ingresados un hospital infantil...
Several studies have suggested that the hospitalization rate for COVID-19 in children and adolescents may reflect prevalence of infection rather than severity disease. The aim this study was to describe clinical features hospitalised paediatric patients with SARS-CoV-2 order understand if reason admission.
Background Family clusters offer a good opportunity to study viral transmission in stable setting. We aimed analyze the specific role of children SARS-CoV-2 within households. Methods A prospective, longitudinal, observational study, including with documented acute infection attending 22 summer-schools Barcelona, Spain, was performed. Moreover, other patients and families coming from school-like environments that voluntarily accessed were also studied. longitudinal follow-up (5 weeks) family...
The aim of this study is to translate, adapt and validate the “Perceived Devaluation Discrimination Scale” (PDD) in Spanish a sample people with schizophrenia.A total 130 between 18 65 years diagnosis schizophrenia according DSM-IV-R criteria from Barcelona Vitoria were included. patients assessed translated version PDD, Social Functioning Scale (SFS), Global Assessment (GAF), Clinical Impression (CGI-S) Self-perception Stigma Questionnaire for (SSQ).The questionnaire scored...
Background Around 12–20% of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) require critical care. Ventilator-associated (VAP) is the second cause nosocomial infection in Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU). As far as we know, there are no studies comparing both types children, thus it remains unclear if differences between them terms severity and outcomes. Objective The aim was to compare clinical microbiological characteristics outcomes severe CAP VAP. Methods A retrospective...
Abstract Portopulmonary hypertension is an uncommon disease associated with high morbidity and mortality, so its early diagnosis treatment are essential. We report here the case of a 57‐year‐old man portopulmonary caused by chronic hepatosplenic schistosomiasis also liver cirrhosis due to hepatitis C alcoholism. As well as treating both diseases, was successfully managed tadalafil macitentan maintenance therapy. This reminds clinicians that pulmonary can be multifactorial, good...

ABSTRACT COVID-19 affects children to a lesser extent than adults but they can still get infected and transmit SARS-CoV-2 their contacts. Field deployable non-invasive sensitive diagnostic techniques are needed evaluate the infectivity dynamics of coronavirus in pediatric populations guide public health interventions. We evaluated utility high-throughput Luminex-based assays applied saliva samples quantify IgM, IgA IgG antibodies against five spike (S) nucleocapsid (N) antigens context...
It is unclear why COVID-19 ranges from asymptomatic to severe. When SARS-CoV-2 detected, interferon (IFN) response activated. it insufficient or delayed, might lead overproduction of cytokines and severe COVID-19. The aim was compare cytokine IFN patterns in children adults with differing severity SARS-CoV-2.It a prospective, observational study, including 84 patients. Patients moderate/severe disease had higher cytokines' values than patients mild (p< 0.001).Two genes were selected build...
Abstract Most studies, aimed at determining the incidence and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in children teenagers, have been developed school settings. Our study conducted surveillance inferred attack rates focusing on practice sports. Prospective observational those attending sports facilities Fútbol Club Barcelona (FCB), Barcelona, Spain, throughout 2020–2021 season. Participants were young players (from five different sports) adult workers, who belonged to stable teams (shared routines...
