Fertility-Sparing Surgery versus Radical Hysterectomy in Early Cervical Cancer: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis and Noninferiority Study
MDPI (2022-06-30)Objective: Fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) is the treatment of choice for patients with early cervical cancer (ECC) and fertility desire, but survival rates compared to radical hysterectomy (RH) have been scarcely reported. ... -
Fisiopatología renal y mecanismos farmacológicos de nefroprotección
Elsevier (2023-06)Son varios los factores de riesgo que pueden afectar la progresión de la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC). La hipertensión arterial, la proteinuria, la obesidad, la hipertensión intraglomerular, el tabaco y el control ... -
Focal Lesions within the ventral striato-pallidum abolish attraction for male chemosignals in female mice
Elsevier (2014-02)In rodents, socio-sexual behaviour is largely mediated by chemosensory cues, some of which are rewarding stimuli. Female mice display an innate attraction towards male chemosignals, dependent on the vomeronasal system. ... -
Folic Acid Supplementation during Pregnancy and Its Association with Telomere Length in Children at Four Years: Results from the INMA Birth Cohort Study
MDPI (2023)This study examined the association between folic acid supplements (FAs) during different periods of pregnancy and offspring telomere length (TL) at age four in 666 children from the INMA study. FAs were self-reported ... -
Fos response of the tail of the ventral tegmental area to food restriction entails a prediction error processing
Elsevier (2022-05-03)The tail of the ventral tegmental area (tVTA) or rostromedial tegmental nucleus (RMTg) receives lateral habenula inputs and projects heavily to midbrain dopamine neurons. Midbrain dopamine and lateral habenula neurons ... -
Frailty as a predictor of short-and long-term mortality in critically ill older medical patients
Elsevier (2019-01-01)Purpose Frailty is a common condition among critically ill patients. Usually evaluated in a mixed population of medical, cardiac and surgical patients, we aimed to assess the impact of frailty on short- and long-term ... -
From back to front: A functional model for the cerebellar modulation in the establishment of conditioned preferences for cocaine‐related cues
Wiley (2019)It is now increasingly clear that the cerebellum may modulate brain functions altered in drug addiction. We previously demonstrated that cocaine‐induced conditioned preference increased activity at the dorsal posterior ... -
From sexual attraction to maternal aggression: When pheromones change their behavioural significance
Elsevier (2015-02)This article is part of a Special Issue “Chemosignals and Reproduction”. This paper reviews the role of chemosignals in the socio-sexual interactions of female mice, and reports two experiments testing the role of ... -
Functional role of Barrington’s nucleus in the micturition reflex: Relevance in the surgical treatment of Parkinson’s disease
Elsevier (2014)The pontine micturition center or Barrington’s nucleus (BN) – besides regulating micturition – co-regulates the activity of other pelvic viscera such as the colon and genitals. At present, this issue is gaining particular ... -
GABAergic Neurons in the Rat Medial Septal Complex Express Relaxin-3 Receptor (RXFP3) mRNA
Frontiers Media (2018-01-17)The medial septum (MS) complex modulates hippocampal function and related behaviors. Septohippocampal projections promote and control different forms of hippocampal synchronization. Specifically, GABAergic and cholinergic ... -

Gender differences in the diagnosis of dyslipidemia: ESCARVAL-GENERO
MDPI (2021)Evidence shows that objectives for detecting and controlling dyslipidemia are not being effectively met, and outcomes differ between men and women. This study aimed to assess gender-related differences in diagnostic inertia ... -
Gender differences in the neurotoxicity of metals in children
Elsevier (2013-09)Gender-related differences in susceptibility to chemical exposure to neurotoxicants have not received sufficient attention. Although a significant number of epidemiological studies on the neurodevelopmental effects of metal ... -
Gender Inequalities in Diagnostic Inertia around the Three Most Prevalent Cardiovascular Risk Studies: Protocol for a Population-Based Cohort Study
MDPI (2021)Evidence shows that objectives for detecting and controlling cardiovascular risk factors are not being effectively met, and moreover, outcomes differ between men and women. This study will assess the gender-related differences ... -
Gender is a major factor explaining discrepancies in eye colour prediction based on HERC2/OCA2 genotype and the IrisPlex model
Elsevier (2013)In recent years, several studies have greatly increased our understanding of the genetic basis underlying human eye colour variation. A large percentage of the eye colour diversity present in humans can already be genetically ... -
Genetic 3’UTR variation is associated with human pigmentation characteristics and sensitivity to sunlight
Wiley (2017-10)Sunlight exposure induces signalling pathways leading to the activation of melanin synthesis and tanning response. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate the expression of genes involved in pigmentation pathways by binding to the ... -
