Cholemic nephropathy is an overlooked cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with advanced cirrhosis and high bilirubin plasma levels (usually above 20mg/dl), due to bile acid deposition the kidneys. Those deposits have been hypothesized tubular injury. It has no standardized diagnostic criteria or therapeutic strategies. We present a series fifteen severe cholemic AKI, diagnosed by microscopic urinary cast visualization after excluding treating other causes AKI. Bilirubin removal...
: The accumulation of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) in obesity has been associated with hepatic injury. However, the contribution ATMs to fibrosis non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains be elucidated. Herein, we investigate relationship between and patients NAFLD evaluate impact modulation over an experimental steatohepatitis (NASH) model.Adipose biopsies from 42 different stages were collected. characterised by immunohistochemistry flow cytometry correlation was assessed....
The proportion of postbariatric surgery patients who undergo body contouring (BC) procedures is unknown. We designed a study to explore demographic features and patient education regarding BC in the bariatric (BS) population. A survey was mailed 1158 underwent BS by 2 surgeons between 2003 2011. total 284 (24.5%) responded. Seventy-two (25.4%) reported discussing with their surgeon perioperatively. Forty (14.1%) were referred for plastic consultation. Thirty-three (11.6%) procedures. most...
The study evaluates the effects of κ- (KOR), δ- (DOR), and μ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists on inhibition plasma extravasation during acute chronic intestinal inflammation in mice. antiexudative KOR DOR animals treated with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors their protein levels gut (whole jejunum mucosa) spinal cord mice were also measured. Inflammation was induced by intragastric administration one (acute) or two (chronic) doses croton oil. Plasma measured using Evans blue Western blot...
Summary Background Melasma is a dermatosis with significant repercussions on patients' quality of life, and there currently no standard treatment. Hydroquinone deemed the treatment choice, but its safety has been questioned in certain cases. Aims To determine efficacy new combination retinoids improvement melasma. Patients/Methods Prospective, double‐blind, vehicle‐controlled, randomized study 30 patients The product was applied one side face vehicle other, twice daily during 3 months....
Challenges remain in discerning microbiologic etiology and disease severity childhood pneumonia. Defining host transcriptomic profiles during illness may facilitate improved diagnostic prognostic approaches. Using whole blood RNA sequencing from 222 hospitalized children with radiographic pneumonia 45 age-matched controls, we identified differentially expressed (DE) genes that best according to detected microbial pathogens (viral only vs bacterial typical atypical [with or without [±] viral...
In the last years there have been increasing reports of adverse cutaneous reactions to temporary black henna tattoos. Black does not exist naturally, it is obtained from original after addition other compounds, among them paraphenylenediamine (PPD), that darken and facilitate process tattooing. Paraphenylenediamine an aromatic compound presents cross-reactions with components a benzene ring in their molecular structure. Many these products may be present daily life any person. We reviewed...
Abstract Background Normal healing process becomes severely dysregulated in pathophysiological conditions such as inflammation, infection or underlaying diseases. These scenarios hamper the standard pattern and dermal fibrotic tissue develops. Objective In present study a novel three‐dimensional formulation (Endoret‐Gel) based on plasma rich growth factors technology (Endoret‐PRGF) has been assessed for atrophic scar management. Materials methods Microstructure analysis, factor content,...

Standardized photographs were taken basal (T0) final visit (T1) biopsies performed....
Recent scientific evidence and the incorporation of new drugs into therapeutic arsenal against rosacea have made it necessary to review update treatment criteria strategies. To this end, a panel 15 dermatologists, all experts in rosacea, was formed share experiences discuss options, response criteria, changes treatment. Based on critical literature discussion routine practices Spanish proposed debated different with consideration experience professionals preferences patients or equality...

Ammonia is metabolized into urea in the liver. In acute liver failure (ALF), ammonia has been associated with survival. However, variation poorly studied.
Understanding the origin and referral routes of patients seen in teledermatology in-person dermatology consultations Spain is interest from perspective health care management. The objective this study was to describe frequency characteristics Spain. We performed a descriptive cross-sectional data collected over 6 days DIADERM sample, which included outpatients diagnosed by 80 Spanish dermatologists, selected means stratified random sampling. studied source destination based on funding, type...
