Background and aims: Nutritional status has a great impact on the prognosis of maintenance hemodialysis patients. Therefore, its management should be a priority, and risk screening frequent and easily implemented, based on the biochemical and clinical routine parameters already available, when the use of more comprehensive tools is not possible. Many tools fit these simple criteria, namely the modified creatini...
Diabetes poses a substantial disease burden, prompting preventive interventions. Physical inactivity, a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes, can potentially be mitigated by enhancing area-level walkability. Despite this, limited population-based studies have investigated the link between walkability and objective diabetes measures. Our study aims to estimate the association between area-level walkability and ...
Multi-Analytical Investigation of Red Pigments Recovered from Human Burials of Vale de Barrancas 1 Hypogea
BackgroundCurrently, the measurement of glomerular filtration rate is very complex and costly, so its daily evaluation is performed using endogenous markers, of which creatinine is the most frequently used. It allows the estimation of glomerular filtration rate by means of its clearance or by formulas based on its serum and urine concentration. Augmented renal clearance (ARC) is frequent among critically ill pa...

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) has been the focus of numerous observational studies over the years and a common strategy employed in their design is the use of composite and aggregate outcomes. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to identify composite and aggregate outcomes of observational studies in UC and to evaluate how the number and type of variables included and the length of fo...
The ongoing search to decode the brain communication system has propelled major advancements in bioelectronics research. From these, planar microelectrode arrays (MEAs) offer the possibility to record neuronal signals for extremely long periods of time and to probe fundamental principles of learning and adaptation. Unfortunately, MEAs have low neuronal coupling and are thus insensitive to sub-threshold neuronal...
Cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (cBCC) is an economic burden to health services, due to its great morbidity and increasing incidence in old people. Infiltrative cBCCs and cBCCs with micronodular pattern are considered as more aggressive. The role of p53 expression and TERTp mutation on cBCC behavior remains to be clarified. We aimed to assess TERTp mutations and p53 expression in relation to the cBCC histologica...
