Importance of specialized paediatric and neonatal transport. Current situation in Spain: Towards a more equitable and universal future.

Specialized paediatric and neonatal transport is a useful and essential resource in the interhospital transfer of these patients. It allows bringing the material and personal resources of an intensive care unit closer to the regional hospitals where the patient can be found. The benefits of these teams are very well demonstrated in the literature.

LOXL2 Is Highly Expressed in Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts and Associates to Poor Colon Cancer Survival.

Purpose: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) are major mediators in tumor microenvironment. We investigated the changes in protein expression in colon cancer-associated fibroblasts compared with normal fibroblasts (NF) in the context of searching for prognostic biomarkers, particularly for stage II patients.

Experimental Design: CAFs and NFs isolated from colon cancer patients were used to identify differentially expressed proteins using quantitative proteomics.

[Characteristics of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. analysis of a series of 474 patients].

Objective: To determine the clinical, laboratory, serological and histologic characteristics of chronic hepatitis B virus carriers in our environment.

Material And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed that included chronic AgHBs carriers aged more than 13 years attending our service since January 2000.

Results: A total of 474 patients were included.

[Significance of free perigastric fluid detected by echoendoscopy in patients with gastric cancer].

Objectives: To determine the diagnostic value of free perigastric fluid identified by echoendoscopy in patients with gastric cancer and to establish the factors related to the presence of peritoneal carcinomatosis in these patients.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively included 100 patients with a histological diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma referred for echoendoscopy. A positive result was defined as the echoendoscopic identification of free perigastric fluid.
