    Intravitreal methotrexate in type B lymphoblastic leukemia—Case Report

    Get PDF
    Leukemia is a common neoplasia that, in its progress, can have ocular involvement due to direct infiltration or secondary to hematological alterations typical of the disease. These findings are consistent with an involvement of the central nervous system and are thus related to the prognosis. Despite the existing systemic therapies, there needs to be more literature that shows the treatment in the ocular involvement of this disease. A case report of a child with ocular involvement due to treatment-refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia, successfully managed with intravitreal methotrexate, is presented

    La experiencia que se presenta pretende, por un lado, cubrir la necesidad de crear unos materiales docentes en los que la transversalidad, la interdisciplinariedad y las competencias de género y ciudadanía fueran su hilo conductor con la finalidad de que se pudieran utilizar en los estudios jurídicos y, en especial, en el marco de las asignaturas relacionadas con el Derecho Romano. Por otra parte, pretende ser una experiencia en innovación docente, que ha derivado en la realización de investigación científica sobre la materia. Todo ello se ha llevado a cabo por un grupo esencialmente de profesoras de carácter interuniversitario y multidisciplinar. Además, la transferencia de resultados obtenidos ha sobrepasado el ámbito universitario para llegar a la sociedad en genera

    Increasing trend of antimicrobial resistance in Shigella associated with MSM transmission in Barcelona, 2020-21 : outbreak of XRD Shigella sonnei and dissemination of ESBL-producing Shigella flexneri

    Several countries have recently reported the detection of ESBL-producing Shigella sonnei associated with transmission among MSM. In a previous study by our group, 2.8% of Shigella spp. obtained from MSM in Barcelona between 2015 and 2019 were ESBL producers. To describe and characterize the emerging ESBL-producing Shigella spp. associated with sexual transmission among MSM detected from 2020 to 2021 in Barcelona, elucidating their connectivity with contemporaneous ESBL-producing Shigella spp. from other countries. From 2020 to 2021, we identified that among MSM, 68% of S. sonnei were XDR harbouring bla and 14% of Shigella flexneri were MDR harbouring bla . WGS analysis showed that the ESBL-producing S. sonnei were part of a monophyletic cluster, which included isolates responsible for the prolonged outbreak occurring in the UK. Our data also reveal the first emergence and clonal dissemination of ESBL-producing and fluoroquinolone-resistant S. flexneri 2a among MSM. We report an increasing trend of antimicrobial resistance in Shigella spp. among MSM in Barcelona since 2021, mainly as a consequence of the dissemination of XDR ESBL-producing S. sonnei, previously reported in the UK. These results highlight the importance of international collaborative surveillance of MDR/XDR S. sonnei and S. flexneri for rapid identification of their emergence and the prevention of the transmission of these pathogens

    Immunogenicity and efficacy of a novel multi-patch SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 vaccine candidate

    23 Pág.While there has been considerable progress in the development of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, largely based on the S (spike) protein of the virus, less progress has been made with vaccines delivering different viral antigens with cross-reactive potential.This research was supported by La Caixa Banking Foundation grant CF01-00008, Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MCIN)/Spanish Research Agency grant PID2020-117425RB-C22, Fondo COVID-19 grant COV20/00151 (Spanish Health Ministry and Instituto de Salud Carlos III), CSIC grant 2020E84 and Ferrovial donations (to ME).

    Incidence and Prognosis of Colorectal Cancer After Heart Transplantation: Data From the Spanish Post-Heart Transplant Tumor Registry

    In this observational and multicenter study, that included all patients who underwent a heart transplantation (HT) in Spain from 1984 to 2018, we analyzed the incidence, management, and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) after HT. Of 6,244 patients with a HT and a median follow-up of 8.8 years since the procedure, 116 CRC cases (11.5% of noncutaneous solid cancers other than lymphoma registered) were diagnosed, mainly adenocarcinomas, after a mean of 9.3 years post-HT. The incidence of CRC increased with age at HT from 56.6 per 100,000 person-years among under 45 year olds to 436.4 per 100,000 person-years among over 64 year olds. The incidence rates for age-at-diagnosis groups were significantly greater than those estimated for the general Spanish population. Curative surgery, performed for 62 of 74 operable tumors, increased the probability of patient survival since a diagnosis of CRC, from 31.6% to 75.7% at 2 years, and from 15.8% to 48.6% at 5 years, compared to patients with inoperable tumors. Our results suggest that the incidence of CRC among HT patients is greater than in the general population, increasing with age at HT
