Bases genéticas en la población española con hipertensión arterial pulmonar idiopática o hereditaria y enfermedad venooclusiva pulmonar. Implicaciones clínicas actuales

La hipertensión arterial pulmonar (HAP) es una enfermedad rara caracterizada por el remodelado de pequeñas arteriolas pulmonares que conduce al aumento progresivo de la resistencia vascular pulmonar, fracaso ventricular derecho y eventual muerte. Se asocia con diversas condiciones clínicas, pudiendo presentarse como formas idiopáticas y hereditarias, habitualmente de presentación en la edad adulta joven. Durante muchos años el gen BMPR2 ha sido el único conocido relacionado con el desarrollo de HAP hereditaria, de herencia autosómico dominante, penetrancia incompleta y expresividad variable, caracterizándose por formas tempranas de presentación, mayor severidad hemodinámica y curso clínico más grave. Sin embargo, recientes avances en el campo de la genética han permitido el descubrimiento de nuevos genes responsables, como KCNK3 y TBX4, entre otros, cuyos fenotipos clínicos asociados han sido escasamente descritos. Por otro lado, la enfermedad venooclusiva pulmonar (EVOP) hereditaria es una forma rara de HAP consistente en la afectación predominante de las vénulas pulmonares, que conduce de manera análoga a un aumento de la resistencia vascular pulmonar, fallo ventricular derecho y muerte. Se caracteriza por la reducción de la capacidad de difusión del monóxido de carbono, edades tempranas de presentación y un curso clínico agresivo, con mala respuesta al tratamiento con vasodilatadores pulmonares con eventual desarrollo de edema pulmonar. Hasta la fecha sólo se ha descrito un gen relacionado con el desarrollo de EVOP hereditaria, el gen EIF2AK4, de herencia autosómica recesiva y elevada penetrancia. La población española con HAP idiopática y hereditaria ha sido escasamente descrita, siendo desconocido el papel de las distintas alteraciones genéticas. Por otro lado, no existen estudios previos en nuestro país referentes a la EVOP hereditaria. La presente Tesis Doctoral recoge la mayor cohorte de pacientes con HAP idiopática y hereditaria estudiada en nuestro país y la única de pacientes con EVOP hereditaria, de etnia gitana y marcada consanguineidad, incluidos en el marco del Estudio Multicéntrico Español de genética de HAP. El objetivo es analizar la prevalencia de las distintas alteraciones genéticas en la población española de HAP idiopática y hereditaria, estudiar genéticamente la población española de etnia gitana con EVOP hereditaria y describir el fenotipo clínico y pronóstico asociado a cada una de las alteraciones genéticas estudiadas, así como llevar a cabo el cribado de familiares. A pesar de los avances experimentados en materia de diagnóstico y tratamiento, el pronóstico de ambas entidades sigue siendo muy pobre con una breve supervivencia libre de muerte o trasplante pulmonar, a día de hoy el único tratamiento eficaz. Quizás el creciente conocimiento en el campo de la genética permita en un futuro, no sólo el diagnóstico precoz y consejo reproductivo dirigido a prevenir la aparición de nuevos casos, sino además, el diseño de un plan terapéutico individualizado para cada paciente en función del perfil genético hallado, que permita optimizar los recursos y los resultados clínicos obtenidos

Comparison of ALBAYZIN query-by-example spoken term detection 2012 and 2014 evaluations

Query-by-example spoken term detection (QbE STD) aims at retrieving data from a speech repository given an acoustic query containing the term of interest as input. Nowadays, it is receiving much interest due to the large volume of multimedia information. This paper presents the systems submitted to the ALBAYZIN QbE STD 2014 evaluation held as a part of the ALBAYZIN 2014 Evaluation campaign within the context of the IberSPEECH 2014 conference. This is the second QbE STD evaluation in Spanish, which allows us to evaluate the progress in this technology for this language. The evaluation consists in retrieving the speech files that contain the input queries, indicating the start and end times where the input queries were found, along with a score value that reflects the confidence given to the detection of the query. Evaluation is conducted on a Spanish spontaneous speech database containing a set of talks from workshops, which amount to about 7 h of speech. We present the database, the evaluation metric, the systems submitted to the evaluation, the results, and compare this second evaluation with the first ALBAYZIN QbE STD evaluation held in 2012. Four different research groups took part in the evaluations held in 2012 and 2014. In 2014, new multi-word and foreign queries were added to the single-word and in-language queries used in 2012. Systems submitted to the second evaluation are hybrid systems which integrate letter transcription- and template matching-based systems. Despite the significant improvement obtained by the systems submitted to this second evaluation compared to those of the first evaluation, results still show the difficulty of this task and indicate that there is still room for improvement.This research was funded by the Spanish Government ('SpeechTech4All Project' TEC2012 38939 C03 01 and 'CMC-V2 Project' TEC2012 37585 C02 01), the Galician Government through the research contract GRC2014/024 (Modalidade: Grupos de Referencia Competitiva 2014) and 'AtlantTIC Project' CN2012/160, and also by the Spanish Government and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under project TACTICA

Analysis of thermal comfort in nursing homes in the Atlantic climate

A esperança média de vida da população mundial tem vindo a aumentar, incrementando a faixa etária acima dos 65 anos. Nesse sentido, determinados ser viços experimentam maior demanda em resposta às necessidades crescentes desta população, como é o caso dos ser viços de cuidados a longo prazo, nomeadamente, centros de dia (CD) e estruturas residenciais para idosos (ERPI). Neste âmbito de ser viços para a comunidade idosa, os parâmetros de qualidade e confor to são apresentados como fatores cruciais para o bem-estar dos utentes/residentes, sendo que o confor to térmico (CT) é um fator determinante na monitorização do bem-estar desta população. Para que os valores ótimos de CT sejam alcançados e mantidos nos edificados com esta tipologia de ser viços, elevados gastos energéticos são despendidos para retificar as condições estruturais dos edifícios. A fim de estruturar um modelo matemático viável que permita definir as características estruturais otimizadas na fase de construção e reabilitação dos edifícios para CD ou ERPI, torna-se necessário analisar o CT dos utentes e prever quais as condições térmicas aceitáveis ou preferenciais para esta população. Este estudo, ainda em curso e integrante do programa ConTerMa, analisa as variáveis de CT na zona climática continental atlântica, monitorizando 8 ERPI e CD situados em 5 concelhos da área metropolitana do Por to, e 5 ERPI e CD na área metropolitana de Barcelona, representativas do clima mediterrânico.In recent years, the average life expectancy of the world's population has been rising, resulting in a steady increase in the elderly population. With the older age group increasing, certain ser vices are in greater demand in response to the growing needs of this population, such as the case of long-term care ser vices, i.e. Day Centres (DC) and Nursing Homes (NH). In this ser vice area, quality and comfort parameters are presented as crucial factors for the well-being of the users, with thermal comfort being one of the most important quality parameters of well-being of this population. It takes high energy costs in order for optimum values of thermal comfort (TC) to be achieved and maintained in buildings built for this type of ser vice, since structural conditions of buildings are often degraded. In order to structure a viable mathematical model that allows to define the optimized structural characteristics in the construction phase of the buildings for permanent or temporary geriatric residences, it is necessary to analyse, in an initial phase, the TC of the users of this type of ser vice and to predict which are the acceptable or preferred thermal conditions for this population. The TC analyses, in this study, will focus on an area of continental Mediterranean climate, addressing 8 NH and DC in the metropolitan area of Porto, representative of the Atlantic climate zone in Portugal, and 5 NH and DC in the metropolitan area of Barcelona, exemplifying of the Mediterranean climate.Projeto financiado ao abrigo do Anúncio de Seleção de Trabalhos de Investigação Multidisciplinar sobre o Envelhecimento ‘Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional en el marco del Programa de Cooperación Interreg V-A España – Portugal, (POCTEP) 2014-2020, Expediente: 6/2018_CIE_6’, no âmbito do Programa Coordenado ‘ConTerMa- Análisis del confort térmico en residencias de ancianos en el espacio de cooperación transfronterizo de España-Portugal’.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Search on speech from spoken queries: the Multi-domain International ALBAYZIN 2018 Query-by-Example Spoken Term Detection Evaluation

[Abstract] The huge amount of information stored in audio and video repositories makes search on speech (SoS) a priority area nowadays. Within SoS, Query-by-Example Spoken Term Detection (QbE STD) aims to retrieve data from a speech repository given a spoken query. Research on this area is continuously fostered with the organization of QbE STD evaluations. This paper presents a multi-domain internationally open evaluation for QbE STD in Spanish. The evaluation aims at retrieving the speech files that contain the queries, providing their start and end times, and a score that reflects the confidence given to the detection. Three different Spanish speech databases that encompass different domains have been employed in the evaluation: MAVIR database, which comprises a set of talks from workshops; RTVE database, which includes broadcast television (TV) shows; and COREMAH database, which contains 2-people spontaneous speech conversations about different topics. The evaluation has been designed carefully so that several analyses of the main results can be carried out. We present the evaluation itself, the three databases, the evaluation metrics, the systems submitted to the evaluation, the results, and the detailed post-evaluation analyses based on some query properties (within-vocabulary/out-of-vocabulary queries, single-word/multi-word queries, and native/foreign queries). Fusion results of the primary systems submitted to the evaluation are also presented. Three different teams took part in the evaluation, and ten different systems were submitted. The results suggest that the QbE STD task is still in progress, and the performance of these systems is highly sensitive to changes in the data domain. Nevertheless, QbE STD strategies are able to outperform text-based STD in unseen data domains.Centro singular de investigación de Galicia; ED431G/04Universidad del País Vasco; GIU16/68Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad; TEC2015-68172-C2-1-PMinisterio de Ciencia, Innovación y Competitividad; RTI2018-098091-B-I00Xunta de Galicia; ED431G/0

ALBAYZIN 2018 spoken term detection evaluation: a multi-domain international evaluation in Spanish

[Abstract] Search on speech (SoS) is a challenging area due to the huge amount of information stored in audio and video repositories. Spoken term detection (STD) is an SoS-related task aiming to retrieve data from a speech repository given a textual representation of a search term (which can include one or more words). This paper presents a multi-domain internationally open evaluation for STD in Spanish. The evaluation has been designed carefully so that several analyses of the main results can be carried out. The evaluation task aims at retrieving the speech files that contain the terms, providing their start and end times, and a score that reflects the confidence given to the detection. Three different Spanish speech databases that encompass different domains have been employed in the evaluation: the MAVIR database, which comprises a set of talks from workshops; the RTVE database, which includes broadcast news programs; and the COREMAH database, which contains 2-people spontaneous speech conversations about different topics. We present the evaluation itself, the three databases, the evaluation metric, the systems submitted to the evaluation, the results, and detailed post-evaluation analyses based on some term properties (within-vocabulary/out-of-vocabulary terms, single-word/multi-word terms, and native/foreign terms). Fusion results of the primary systems submitted to the evaluation are also presented. Three different research groups took part in the evaluation, and 11 different systems were submitted. The obtained results suggest that the STD task is still in progress and performance is highly sensitive to changes in the data domain.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad; TIN2015-64282-R,Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad; RTI2018-093336-B-C22Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad; TEC2015-65345-PXunta de Galicia; ED431B 2016/035Xunta de Galicia; GPC ED431B 2019/003Xunta de Galicia; GRC 2014/024Xunta de Galicia; ED431G/01Xunta de Galicia; ED431G/04Agrupación estratéxica consolidada; GIU16/68Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad; TEC2015-68172-C2-1-

ALBAYZIN Query-by-example Spoken Term Detection 2016 evaluation

[EN] Query-by-example Spoken Term Detection (QbE STD) aims to retrieve data from a speech repository given an acoustic (spoken) query containing the term of interest as the input. This paper presents the systems submitted to the ALBAYZIN QbE STD 2016 Evaluation held as a part of the ALBAYZIN 2016 Evaluation Campaign at the IberSPEECH 2016 conference. Special attention was given to the evaluation design so that a thorough post-analysis of the main results could be carried out. Two different Spanish speech databases, which cover different acoustic and language domains, were used in the evaluation: the MAVIR database, which consists of a set of talks from workshops, and the EPIC database, which consists of a set of European Parliament sessions in Spanish. We present the evaluation design, both databases, the evaluation metric, the systems submitted to the evaluation, the results, and a thorough analysis and discussion. Four different research groups participated in the evaluation, and a total of eight template matching-based systems were submitted. We compare the systems submitted to the evaluation and make an in-depth analysis based on some properties of the spoken queries, such as query length, single-word/multi-word queries, and in-language/out-of-language queries.This work was partially supported by Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (FCT) under the projects UID/EEA/50008/2013 (pluriannual funding in the scope of the LETSREAD project) and UID/CEC/50021/2013, and Grant SFRH/BD/97187/2013.

Impact of Pain Neuroscience Education Program in Community Physiotherapy Context on Pain Perception and Psychosocial Variables Associated with It in Elderly Persons: A Ranzomized Controlled Trial

This study investigated the long-term effect (six-months) of a Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) program on pain perception, quality of life, kinesiophobia and catastrophism in older adults with multimorbidity and chronic pain. Fifty participants (n = 50) were randomly assigned to the pain education therapy group (PET; n = 24) and control group (CG; n = 26). The PET group received six sessions (i.e., once a week, 50 min) about neurophysiology of pain while the CG carried on with their usual life. Perception of pain through the visual analogue scale (VAS), quality of life (EQ-5D questionnaire), kinesiophobia (TSK-11) and catastrophism (PCS) were assessed after six months since the last PNE session. Statistically significant differences on VAS (t(48) = 44, p = 0.01, ES = 0.42 [0.13, 0.65]) was found in favor to PET group. No other statistically significant differences were found. This study found that the application of a PNE intervention in an isolated form was able to significantly reduce pain perception with low effect size in the long-term (six months after intervention) in elderly people with chronic pain.Medicin
