Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a significant cancer-related cause of death worldwide. GC's most used chemotherapeutic regimen is based on platinum drugs such as cisplatin (CDDP). However, CDDP chemoresistance reduces the survival rate of advanced GC.

- Pain in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) is often underestimated and inadequately managed, particularly in those with communication challenges.
- A study analyzed changes in salivary metabolites and pain behaviors in adults with CP compared to healthy adults after a painful procedure, revealing that CP subjects exhibited higher pain levels despite stable stress biomarkers.
- The findings suggest that sTNF-α could be an effective pain indicator, warranting further research to explore its potential as a biomarker in pain assessment.
Individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders exhibit overlapping emotional, somatosensory and motor deficits. Although brain processes underlying these impairments have been extensively studied in a separate way, the brain interaction of these inputs is an innovative line of research. Here we present a new EEG methodology for exploring the interactive brain activity of sensorimotor and affective stimuli.

Background: The Rolandic ∼20-Hz beta rhythm of the sensorimotor cortex is associated with motor function and perception. However, the modulation of this rhythm by different emotional stimuli is an innovative area of research.
Aims: This study aims at investigating the impact of affective pictures (positive, negative, and neutral) on the proprioceptive modulation of the Rolandic ∼20 Hz beta rhythm in typically developing children and children with neurodevelopmental disorders (i.
Background: Promoting quality of life (QoL) is one of the main goals in interventions carried out with children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP).
Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze the determinants of QoL in children with CP, including evaluations by the children themselves and their parents, and to identify discrepancies between evaluators.
Methods And Procedures: The adapted Spanish version of the Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life (CP-QOL) for children and adolescents (self-report and primary caregiver-reports versions) was applied to a sample of 74 children with CP and their respective parents (totaling 222 participants), as well as instruments to measure functioning (i.
