Background: It has been proposed that physical activity (PA) could prevent cognitive decline.

Objective: To evaluate the association between changes in PA and changes in cognitive function in a cohort of adults with metabolic syndrome.

Methods: Longitudinal observational study including 5,500 adults (mean age 65 years, SD = 5; women = 49.

Purpose: To determine whether brachytherapy with a single hypofractionated dose of 7 Gy provides the similar vaginal-cuff relapses and safety profile in terms of complications compared to schedules of 2 or 3 fractions of lower doses in patients treated previously with external beam irradiation in postoperative endometrial carcinoma.

Methods/material: From June 2003 to December 2016, 325 patients were treated with 3 different schedules of high-dose-rate brachytherapy after external beam irradiation for postoperative endometrial carcinoma. The patients were divided into 3 groups: Group-1: 125 patients were treated with 3 fractions of 4-6 Gy per fraction (3 fractions/week) between 2003 and 2008; Group-2: 93 patients were treated with 2 consecutive daily fractions of 5-6 Gy between 2008 and 2011; Group-3: 107 patients received a single fraction of 7 Gy between 2011 and 2016.

Introduction And Objectives: The lower prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) could explain why T2DM has not always been identified as an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in different familial hypercholesterolemia cohort studies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical and genetic aspects of HeFH patients with T2DM in the dyslipidemia registry of the Spanish Arteriosclerosis Society.

Methods: HeFH patients were classified according to the presence or absence of T2DM.

Background: Naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by developmental alterations and multiple basal cell carcinomas. Mutations in PTCH1, which encodes a membrane receptor for Sonic Hedgehog, are associated with the development of the disease. Most of them produce a truncated protein, which is unable to suppress Smoothened protein and continuously activates the downstream pathway.

Background: Disseminated germ cell cancers are at high risk of developing thromboembolic complications. We evaluated the prognostic value of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in disseminated germ cell cancer.

Methods: Patients with germ cell cancer receiving upfront platinum-containing chemotherapy between 2004 and 2014 were pooled from the Spanish Germ Cell Cancer Group (SGCCG) registry and reviewed for the presence of VTE.

Purpose: To evaluate the preliminary results of vaginal-cuff relapses (VCR) and complications of a short brachytherapy (BT) schedule in postoperative endometrial carcinoma.

Methods And Materials: From September 2011 to December 2014, 102 patients were treated with postoperative BT for endometrial carcinoma. Seventy-four patients received a single 7 Gy dose after external beam irradiation (Group 1), and 28 intermediate-risk patients received three daily fractions of 6 Gy (Group 2).
