Evaluation of imaging findings in gastrointestinal anisakiasis in emergency CT and ultrasound.
Insights Imaging
November 2023
Radiology Department, Basurto Universitary Hospital, Bilbao, Vizcaya, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated imaging tests (ultrasound and CT scans) in patients diagnosed with anisakiasis to identify signs related to the disease based on where it occurred in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Findings showed that in gastric cases, wall stratification and thickening, along with fat stranding and ascitic fluid, were common; while in intestinal cases, wall thickening and fat stranding were predominant.
- The research emphasizes the importance of recognizing these imaging signs for better diagnosis and management of anisakiasis in emergency settings, highlighting higher rates of intestinal and multifocal involvement than previously reported.
Influence of depression on survival of colorectal cancer patients drawn from a large prospective cohort.

October 2022
Research Unit, Costa del Sol Health Agency, Marbella, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- * It utilized a large sample of 2602 CRC patients, using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale for measurement and analyzing survival data with advanced statistical methods.
- * Results indicated that depression significantly increases the risk of poor survival outcomes, suggesting the need for regular screening and treatment of depressive symptoms in CRC patients to improve their overall prognosis.
Influence of Diagnostic Delay on Survival Rates for Patients with Colorectal Cancer.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
March 2022
Research Unit, Agencia Sanitaria Costa del Sol, 29603 Marbella, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer affects both men and women, and diagnosis can be delayed due to various factors like absence of symptoms or lack of screening tests.
- A study involving 1,688 patients across 22 Spanish hospitals aimed to assess whether delayed diagnosis impacts overall survival at five years.
- Results showed that a diagnostic delay of more than 30 days did not worsen prognosis, while delays less than 30 days were linked to shorter survival, suggesting that quicker diagnoses are often related to more severe cases.

Osakidetza Basque Health Service, Galdakao - Usansolo Hospital (Research Unit), Galdakao, Basque Country, Spain.
Background: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of mortality in elderly patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery and to develop a risk score.
Methods: This was an observational prospective cohort study. Individuals over 80 years diagnosed with colorectal cancer and treated surgically were recruited in 18 hospitals in the Spanish National Health Service, between June 2010 and December 2012, and were followed up 1, 2, 3, and 5 years after surgery.
The Predictive Value of Lung Ultrasound Scores in Developing Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: A Prospective Multicenter Diagnostic Accuracy Study.
Chest
September 2021
Biomedicine Institute of León (IBIOMED), University of León, León, Spain; Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Complejo Asistencial Universitario de León, León, Spain; Working Group on Bedside Ultrasound of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Intensive Care (SECIP), Madrid, Spain.
Background: Different lung ultrasound (LUS) scanning protocols have been used, and the results in terms of diagnostic accuracy are heterogeneous.
Research Questions: What is the diagnostic accuracy of the LUS score to predict moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (msBPD)? Does scanning of posterior lung fields improve the diagnostic accuracy?
Study Design And Methods: This was a multicenter prospective, observational study in six centers. Two LUS aeration scores, one involving only anterolateral lung fields and the other adding the posterior fields were obtained at birth, on the third day of life (DOL), on the seventh DOL, on the 14th DOL, and on the 21st DOL.
NMR-based newborn urine screening for optimized detection of inherited errors of metabolism.

Protein Stability and Inherited Disease Laboratory, CIC bioGUNE, Bizkaia Technology Park, Bld. 800, 48160, Derio, Bizkaia, Spain.
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are rare diseases produced by the accumulation of abnormal amounts of metabolites, toxic to the newborn. When not detected on time, they can lead to irreversible physiological and psychological sequels or even demise. Metabolomics has emerged as an efficient and powerful tool for IEM detection in newborns, children, and adults with late onset.
