[Descriptive study of the use of arcade screens in the school population of 0-12 years of El Prat de Llobregat].

Introduction: There is sufficient scientific evidence that determines a direct relationship between the number of hours of exposure to screens with a sedentary lifestyle, overweight, delayed psychomotor development and mental disorders, among others.

Aim: Know the exposure time of the screens. The main rules of use for school children aged 0-12.

IL-10 Modulates the Expression and Activation of Pattern Recognition Receptors in Mast Cells.

Mast cells (MCs) are involved in several immune-related responses, including those in bacterial infections, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, and cancer, among others. MCs identify microorganisms by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), activating a secretory response. Interleukin (IL)-10 has been described as an important modulator of MC responses; however, its role in PRR-mediated activation of MC is not fully understood.

Attached stratified mucus separates bacteria from the epithelial cells in COPD lungs.

The respiratory tract is normally kept essentially free of bacteria by cilia-mediated mucus transport, but in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF), bacteria and mucus accumulates instead. To address the mechanisms behind the mucus accumulation, the proteome of bronchoalveolar lavages from COPD patients and mucus collected in an elastase-induced mouse model of COPD was analyzed, revealing similarities with each other and with the protein content in colonic mucus. Moreover, stratified laminated sheets of mucus were observed in airways from patients with CF and COPD and in elastase-exposed mice.

Adalimumab for Induction of Histological Remission in Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis.

Background: Histological remission represents a target distinct from endoscopic healing in ulcerative colitis (UC) and seems a better predictor of clinical outcomes.

Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the ability of adalimumab to achieve histological remission in UC patients.

Methods: Single-center, retrospective, open-label study of patients treated with adalimumab.

[Reversion of overweight and obesity in Vilafranca del Penedès child population: ACTIVA'T Program (2012)].

Objective: To assess a 6-month nutritional and physical activity intervention program on the nutritional status of overweight or obese and not very active 8-14 years old children by means of a controlled pre-post design (ACTIVA'T program).

Method: Pre-post study in 8-14 years old overweight or obese and low active children from Vilafranca del Penedès (Barcelona, Spain) randomized in control group (n = 51, 47.1% girls, nutritional intervention and ≤3h/wk physical activity) and ACTIVA'T group (n = 45, 37.
