Topical use of hyperoxygenated fatty acids decreases surgical site infection in patients following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A randomized controlled trial.

Background: To date, the topically effect of hyperoxygenated fatty acids (HOFA) on the control of surgical site infection (SSI) is still unclear.

Objective: To assess the effect of topical application of a HOFA solution on the umbilical trocar site after laparoscopic cholecystectomy on SSI. The occurrence of trocar site incisional hernia (TSIH) was also analyzed.

Association between offensive and defensive playing style variables and ranking position in a national football league.

The aim of this study was to determine the association of playing style and efficacy variables with football success in a professional football league. Match statistics were obtained from 23 football teams competing in the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 seasons of the Spanish national league(). Offensive and defensive playing style and efficacy variables were calculated.

Injury Profile in Women's Football: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Football is the most popular sport among women; however, little is known about the injury profile in this population. This information would help design tailored injury risk mitigation strategies that may make football safer for women.

Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological data of injuries in women´s football.

Role of fibroblast growth factor-23 in calcinosis in women with systemic sclerosis.

Objective: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex disorder of unknown etiology. The purpose of this study was to evaluate fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) serum levels in women with SSc compared with healthy controls and to examine a possible association between FGF-23 serum levels with the presence of calcinosis in SSc patients.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in San Cecilio Hospital, Granada (Spain) from November 2017 to May 2019.

Association between homocysteine levels and arterial stiffness in women with systemic sclerosis.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate homocysteine (Hcy) serum levels in women with systemic sclerosis (SSc) compared with healthy controls and to examine possible associations between Hcy and markers of arterial stiffness.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed at a single hospital between November 2017 and May 2019: 62 women with SSc and 62 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured non-invasively along the carotid-femoral arterial segment.

Association Between FGF-23 Levels and Risk of Fracture in Women With Systemic Sclerosis.

Introduction/background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and serum fibroblast grow factor-23 (FGF-23) levels in SSc women patients compared with healthy controls.

Methodology: This cross-sectional study was performed in San Cecilio Hospital, Granada (Spain) from November 2017 to May 2019. Sixty-two women with SSc and 62 age and sex matched healthy controls were included in this study.

Endothelin-1 serum levels in women with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate serum Endothelin-1(ET-1) levels in women Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients compared with healthy controls, examine possible associations between ET-1 with different characteristic of the disease and investigate possible associations between ET-1 with surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in Vega-Baja Hospital, Orihuela (Spain) from November 2016 to May 2018. Sixty-three women with RA and sixty-five age and sex healthy controls were included in this study.

FGF23-Klotho axis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Objectives: We aimed to compare serum Klotho and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) levels between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and healthy controls. Possible association between FGF-23 and soluble Klotho with different characteristic of the disease as well as their potential role as surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) were studied.

Methods: Sixty-three patients with RA recruited at Vega-Baja Hospital, Orihuela (Spain) from November 2016 to May 2018 and sixty-five age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included in this study.

Clinical relevance of monitoring serum adalimumab levels in axial spondyloarthritis.

Our aim was to assess the relationship between serum adalimumab levels, anti-drug antibodies (ADA) and disease activity in patients with axial spondylarthritis (SpA). We have carried out a single-centre cross-sectional study. adalimumab and ADA levels were analysed with ELISA and correlated with SpA activity using BASDAI and ASDAS scores.
