Risks of adverse outcomes in COVID-19 patients and vaccination status in a secondary hospital in Spain.

Introduction: In December 2020, vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 started in Spain. Until March 2022, 91.1% of the target population was vaccinated.

Adolescent Involvement in Cybergossip: Influence on Social Adjustment, Bullying and Cyberbullying.

Gossip is a type of social behavior present in all types of social networks, and cybergossip is an emerging kind of online social behavior which can both promote and hinder relationships between peers. The aim of this study was to explore the relation between involvement in cybergossip and the development of behavior of social adjustment, bullying and cyberbullying (aggression and victimization), based on gender and age. A total of 510 secondary school students (49.

Epidemiological characteristics of the COVID-19 outbreak in a secondary hospital in Spain.

Objectives: In 2019 Chinese authorities alerted of the appearance of a cluster of cases of unknown pneumonia related to a new type of coronavirus. Spain is among the most affected countries. Our aim is to describe the cases of COVID-19 at Infanta Sofía University Hospital (Madrid), a public secondary hospital that increased its hospital beds to provide assistance during the outbreak.

Evaluation of the immune response to hepatitis B vaccine in patients on biological therapy: results of the RIER cohort study.

To evaluate the response to hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine in patients on biological therapy. Adults with autoimmune inflammatory diseases on biological therapy such as anti-TNFα, rituximab, tocilizumab, abatacept, or anakinra were included. Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) was measured by ELISA before and after vaccination.

New insights in oocyte dynamics shed light on the complexities associated with fish reproductive strategies.

Information on temporal variations in stock reproductive potential (SRP) is essential in fisheries management. Despite this relevance, fundamental understanding of egg production variability remains largely unclear due to difficulties in tracking the underlying complex fluctuations in early oocyte recruitment that determines fecundity. We applied advanced oocyte packing density theory to get in-depth, quantitative insights across oocyte stages and seasons, selecting the commercially valuable European hake (Merluccius merluccius) as a case study.

Antibody responses to influenza vaccine in patients on biological therapy: Results of RIER cohort study.

Background And Objectives: Influenza vaccine is recommended for patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases who receive biological therapy. To evaluate if biological therapy impairs immunization after seasonal influenza vaccine.

Material And Methods: Patients with inflammatory arthopathies, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease or connective tissue diseases who were receiving or were going to initiate biological therapy were included and vaccinated during 2014-2015 influenza season.

Explicative factors of face-to-face harassment and cyberbullying in a sample of primary students.

Background: Research has shown that there is a co-occurrence between bullying and cyberbullying in relation to certain variables that describe and explain them. The present study aims to examine the differential influence of individual and contextual variables on perception of the role played in the involvement in both phenomena.

Method: Participants were 1278 schoolchildren (47.

Exercise-induced bronchospasm diagnosis in children. Utility of combined lung function tests.

Background: The diagnosis of exercise-induced asthma or bronchospasm (EIB) is a complex dare in daily clinical practice. The consensus is that if bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR) is demonstrated in a patient with symptoms consistent with EIB, then that patient can be diagnosed with exercise-induced bronchospasm. The aim of this study was to determine which BHR test is the most efficient to diagnose EIB.

Dehydrated egg white: an allergen source for improving efficacy and safety in the diagnosis and treatment for egg allergy.

Background: Raw and cooked eggs are used as allergens in oral food challenge (OFC). Raw egg is the best option, as it keeps proteins intact and retains their allergenicity, albeit microbiologically safe manipulation is difficult. Therefore, the use of dehydrated egg white (DEW) could improve the efficacy and safety profile of OFC.

Efficacy of oral immunotherapy protocol for specific oral tolerance induction in children with cow's milk allergy.

Background: In the last two decades milkoralimmunotherapy has gained interest as an effective treatment option for milk-allergic patients.

Objectives: To report on the efficacy of a milk oral immunotherapy.

Methods: Children with immunoglobulin E-mediated cow's milk allergy were included in the protocol.

Seroprevalence of antibodies to varicella-zoster virus in Madrid (Spain) in the absence of vaccination.

Objective: to ascertain the seroprevalence of antibodies to varicella-zoster virus in the Madrid population prior to the introduction of vaccination.

Study Design: Cross-sectional antibody seroprevalence study.

Population: persons aged 2 to 40 years in Madrid.

[Tuberculosis in the Autonomous region of Madrid, Spain. Incidence among foreign and Spanish individuals during the 1996-2004 period].

Background: Immigration from countries having a high prevalence of tuberculosis to other more highly-developed countries has a bearing on the overall evolution of tuberculosis in the latter. This study is aimed at describing the influence of the cases of tuberculosis among foreign individuals on the incidence of this disease in the Autonomous Community of Madrid during the 1996-2004 period.

Methods: The data was taken from the Regional Tuberculosis Case Registry and from the 1996 census and the continuous censuses from 1998 to 2004.

[Incidence of pneumococcal disease in the autonomous Region of Madrid (1998--2006)].

Background And Objective: The availability of antipneumococcal vaccines makes it necessary to go deeply into the knowledge of pneumococcal disease. This study aims at describing the magnitude and incidence of pneumococcal disease in the Region of Madrid from 1998 to 2006.

Material And Method: Retrospective study of Computerized Hospital Discharge Data registered from 1998 to 2006.

Varicella and herpes zoster in Madrid, based on the Sentinel General Practitioner Network: 1997-2004.

Background: Varicella (chickenpox) is the primary disease caused by varicella-zoster virus. It is extremely contagious and is frequent in children. Indeed, in the absence of vaccination, a high proportion of the population is liable to contract it.
