Mayka Freire, Bernardo Sopeña, Iago Carballo, José A. Diaz‐Peromingo, more

Internal Medicine Journal > 50 > 2 > 235 - 238

In the 79 countries revised, two fundamental internal medicine (IM) training patterns were in evidence, first, only basic training needed, requiring a 3–4‐year residency period for obtaining the diploma of internist; and advanced training needed, requiring 5–7 years of study. Second, evaluation of common IM training for sub‐specialists revealed the following three patterns: dual training; core training...

Santiago Rodriguez-Segade, Javier Rodriguez, Félix Camiña, Manuel Fernández-Arean, more

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice > 2018 > 142 > C > 100-109

To investigate whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) reveals patterns of glycaemic behaviour, the detection of which might improve early diagnosis of dysglycaemia.A total 1521 complete days of valid CGM data were recorded under real-life conditions from a healthy sample of a Spanish community, as were matching FPG and HbA1_C data. No participant was pregnant, had a history of kidney or liver...

Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism > 2017 > 47 > 1 > 46-52

To perform a systematic review of all cases of the association between Kikuchi’s disease (KD) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to ascertain the clinical and laboratory characteristics of this association (KD-SLE).We conducted a systematic search of the scientific literature until 31 January 2016. For study purposes, only patients aged >14 years, with histologically proven KD, definite...

Mayo Clinic Proceedings > 2017 > 92 > 6 > 899-907

To analyze the differences in characteristics and prognosis between alcoholic and nonalcoholic patients with Wernicke encephalopathy (WE).A retrospective observational cohort of 468 patients diagnosed with WE with at least 2 Caine criteria was selected from all patients discharged with a diagnosis of WE from 21 medical centers in Spain from January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2012. Demographic,...

Acute focal bacterial nephritis in a cohort of hospitalized adult patients with acute pyelonephritis. Assessment of risk factors and a predictive model

Joaquin Campos-Franco, Cristina Macia, Emilio Huelga, Carla Diaz-Louzao, more

European Journal of Internal Medicine > 2017 > 39 > C > 69-74

Acute focal bacterial nephritis (AFBN) is a complicated form of acute pyelonephritis (APN) characterized by single or multiple areas of localised infection in the kidney without liquefaction or abscess. Studies investigating AFBN in adults are scarce.The present study was aimed at evaluating the prevalence, associated factors, and presence of atypical clinical and radiological manifestations in adult...

Altered Distribution of Peripheral Blood Maturation‐Associated B‐Cell Subsets in Chronic Alcoholism

Julia Almeida, Maria Angeles Polvorosa, Arturo Gonzalez‐Quintela, Ignacio Madruga, more

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research > 39 > 8 > 1476 - 1484

BackgroundAlthough decreased counts of peripheral blood (PB) B cells—associated with an apparently contradictory polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia—have been reported in chronic alcoholism, no information exists about the specific subsets of circulating B cells altered and their relationship with antibody production. Here, we analyzed for the first time the distribution of multiple maturation‐associated...

Serum Concentrations of Mast Cell Tryptase Are Reduced in Heavy Drinkers

Carmen Beceiro, Joaquín Campos, Maria‐Angeles Valcarcel, Runa V. Fenger, more

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research > 39 > 4 > 672 - 678

BackgroundBaseline serum tryptase concentrations are commonly used in clinical practice as a marker of the body's mast cell burden. This study aimed to investigate serum tryptase concentrations in heavy drinkers. MethodsSerum tryptase concentrations were determined in 126 heavy drinkers (75% males, median age 47 years) who were admitted to the hospital because of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (n = 60),...

Spatial Patterns in the Rate of Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome in Galicia (Spain)

Jenifer Espasandín-Domínguez, Ipek Guler, María P. Pata, Francisco Gude, more

Procedia Environmental Sciences > 2015 > 27 > Complete > 94-97

In the last twenty years there have been many studies that have considered geographic area as a health determinant. The analysis of the impact of these geographical effects is of importance to capture possible spatial heterogeneities. The present ecological study was aimed at investigating spatial trends in the rate of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS rate) in a defined community. To take into account...

Association between Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease and Streptococcus pneumoniae infection

M Ángeles Valcárcel-García, Carlos Aliste-Santos, Arturo González-Quintela, José Díaz-Peromingo

Open Medicine > 2014 > 9 > 5 > 709-713

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a rare histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis that affects typically young women causing fever and painful laterocervical lymphadenopathy. The etiology is unknown, but several viral infections and autoimmune diseases have been related with the disease. Bacterial infections are less frequent. Diagnosis needs for excisional lymph node biopsy that shows paracortical areas of...

The longitudinal relationship of changes of adiposity to changes in pulmonary function and risk of asthma in a general adult population

Runa V Fenger, Arturo Gonzalez-Quintela, Carmen Vidal, Lise-Lotte Husemoen, more

BMC Pulmonary Medicine > 2014 > 14 > 1 > 1-10

Background Adiposity has been linked to both higher risk of asthma and reduced lung function. The effects of adiposity on asthma may depend on both atopic status and gender, while the relationship is less clear with respect to lung function. This study aimed to explore longitudinal weight changes to changes in forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC), as...

Decreased Peripheral Blood CD4⁺/CD25⁺ Regulatory T Cells in Patients with Alcoholic Hepatitis

Julia Almeida, Maria Angeles Polvorosa, Arturo Gonzalez‐Quintela, Miguel Marcos, more

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research > 37 > 8 > 1361 - 1369

BackgroundDevelopment of alcoholic hepatitis (AH) may be favored by the activation of the innate immune response. Recently, decreased numbers of circulating regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been reported in diseases associated with an immune activation status, but no studies have focused so far, in investigating the distribution of Tregs in chronic alcoholism and its potential association with liver...

OLALLA CASTRO‐AÑÓN, RAFAEL GOLPE, LUIS A. PÉREZ‐DE‐LLANO, MARÍA JESÚS LÓPEZ GONZÁLEZ, more

Respirology > 17 > 8 > 1269 - 1274

Background and objective: Although it has been reported that pulmonary hypertension is more frequent in patients with obesity‐hypoventilation syndrome than in patients with ‘pure’ obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome, little is known about the haemodynamic repercussions of this entity. The aim was to describe the haemodynamic status, as assessed by echocardiography and 6‐min walk test (6MWT), of patients...
