Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with increased cancer mortality, but whether it is also incidence unknown.To investigate OSA in a large clinical cohort.A multicenter, cohort study including consecutive patients investigated for suspected between 2003 and 2007 seven Spanish teaching hospitals. Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) percent nighttime oxygen saturation less than 90% (TSat(90)) were used as surrogates of severity, both continuous variables categorized by tertiles. Cox...

Summary The aims of this study areto describe the adequacy treatment for anxiety and depressive disorders in Europe how it differs between providers, using data from ESEMeD overall proportion adequate was 45.8% (57.4% specialised sector 23.3% general medical care sector). Between-country differences were found setting. Organisational political aspects may explain these findings.

Abstract Background Psoriasis is a very prevalent systemic chronic inflammatory disease. Major cardiovascular events are the main cause of mortality in these patients which suggests an association between psoriasis and traditional risk factors. Objective To identify classic factors metabolic syndrome ( MS ) with psoriasis, their possible its severity compare it non‐psoriatic population. Methods This observational cross‐sectional population study Lleida (Spain) from joint hospital/primary...
Medical nutrition therapy based on the control of amount and distribution carbohydrates (CHO) is initial treatment for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but there a need randomized controlled trials comparing different dietary strategies. The purpose this study was to test hypothesis that low-CHO diet GDM would lead lower rate insulin with similar pregnancy outcomes compared diet.A total 152 women were included in open, trial assigned follow either content (40% energy as CHO) or (55%...
The causes of the high cardiovascular mortality observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) are unknown. Here, we report data on prevalence subclinical atherosclerosis NEFRONA population and a stratified multivariate logistic analysis factors associated with presence plaque. We analysed 2445 patients an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min (CKD 3: 937; CKD 4–5: 820; 5D: 688) 559 non-CKD subjects (eGFR >60 mL/min), 18–75 years old, without previous events. An itinerant team...
Loss of 53BP1 rescues BRCA1 deficiency and is associated with BRCA1-deficient triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) resistance to genotoxic drugs. The mechanisms responsible for decreased transcript protein levels in tumors remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that loss activates cathepsin L (CTSL)-mediated degradation 53BP1. Activation this pathway rescued homologous recombination repair allowed cells bypass growth arrest. Importantly, depletion or inhibition CTSL vitamin D specific...
To assess quality of life and treatment satisfaction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus diabetic retinopathy (DR) using validated instruments, comparison to without DR.A prospective cross-sectional study was designed the influence on who do not have any other advanced late complications that could interfere these outcomes. We included 148 DR 149 DR, all complications. Quality assessed Audit Diabetes Dependent Life (ADDQoL) questionnaire, Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ)....
Background and objectives Ultrasonographic detection of subclinical atheromatosis is a noninvasive method predicting cardiovascular events. Risk factors progression in CKD are unknown. Predictors were evaluated patients with CKD. Design, setting, participants, & measurements Our multicenter, prospective, observational study included 1553 (2009–2011). Carotid femoral ultrasounds performed at baseline after 24 months. A subgroup 476 was also randomized to undergo ultrasound examination 12...
