Mathematical models of thrombin generation (TG) that have been developed are based on a systems biology approach. Although this approach provides important information about the coagulation system, its clinical applicability is limited by its complexity and number of input variables required. The aim of this study was to develop a semimechanistic model able to describe TG in trauma and control patients.

This dataset comprises information about 1242 lung cancer patients collected by the Medical Oncology Department of the Puerta de Hierro University Hospital of Majadahonda in Madrid, Spain. It includes information about cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as personal and medical data recorded during anamneses. The dataset could assist in data analysis with the aim of discovering relationships between the applied treatment(s), the evolution of the disease and the associated adverse effects.

Recently, an association between dysbiosis of the gut microbiota (GMB) and the development of several diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), has been proposed. Dysbiosis involves changes in microbial diversity influenced by environmental factors, like diet or lifestyle. In this study, we investigated the role of GMB parameters in Spanish AD patients, assessing the impact of adherence to the Mediterranean lifestyle (ML), as well as to characterize these parameters in relation to neuropsychological, neuropsychiatric, emotional, and functionality parameters.

Article Synopsis
  • Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Frontotemporal Dementia, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are serious neurodegenerative diseases with no known cure, highlighting the need for new treatments that can halt their progression.
  • Current knowledge suggests that sporadic cases of these diseases cannot be solely explained by genetics, as only a small percentage of patients have identifiable genetic mutations.
  • Recent research indicates that changes in chromatin structure and histone modifications (epigenetic mechanisms) play a significant role in these diseases, offering potential targets for new therapies that are reversible and more accessible.
