Objectives: Few studies have assessed cognitive impairment among healthy people living with HIV (PLWH) who are stable on antiretroviral treatment (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among a random sample of stable adult PLWH from rural Tanzania on ART for more than 1 year and without immunological failure or pre-existing neurological disease. We evaluated the prevalence and risk factors for neurocognitive impairment (NCI), assessed through neuropsychological tests, functional and depression questionnaires and defined as a mean Z-score ≤ -1 in two or more cognitive domains.

Outcome of patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism and psychiatric disorders.

Thromb Res

September 2020

Department of Internal Medicine, Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol, Badalona, Barcelona, Spain; Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.

Objective: To address the association between psychiatric disorders and short-term outcomes after acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE).

Methods: We identified adults with PE enrolled in the RIETE registry between December 1, 2013, and January 31, 2019. Using multinomial regression, we assessed the association between a history of psychiatric disorders and the outcomes of all-cause mortality, PE-related mortality, and venous thromboembolism recurrence and bleeding rates through 30 days after initiation of treatment.

Background: Limited data exist about the clinical presentation and outcomes of patients with inferior vena cava agenesis (IVCA) who develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Methods: We used the RIETE (Registro Informatizado Enfermedad Trombo Embólica) registry to compare clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with lower limb DVT, according to the presence or absence of IVCA. Major outcomes included recurrent DVT, major bleeding and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS).

Vena cava filters in patients presenting with major bleeding during anticoagulation for venous thromboembolism.

Intern Emerg Med

October 2019

Department of Internal Medicine, Hospital Universitari Germans Trias I Pujol, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Carretera del Canyet s.n., Badalona, 08916, Barcelona, Spain.

The association between inferior vena cava filter (IVC) use and outcome in patients presenting with major bleeding during anticoagulation for venous thromboembolism (VTE) has not been thoroughly investigated. We used the RIETE registry to compare the 30-day outcomes (death, major re-bleeding or VTE recurrences) in VTE patients who bled during the first 3 months of therapy, regarding the insertion of an IVC filter. A propensity score matched (PSM) analysis was performed to adjust for potential confounders.

Background And Aims: Sex-specific differences exist for the initial presentation of acute venous thromboembolism (VTE): men are more likely to present with proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower limbs (versus pulmonary embolism [PE] or isolated distal DVT [IDDVT]) than women. We studied in detail the influence of sex, age, and VTE risk factors on the initial presentation of IDDVT versus proximal DVT.

Methods: A total of 24,911 patients with a first episode of objectively diagnosed acute symptomatic lower-limb DVT (without symptomatic PE) were enrolled in RIETE (years 2000-2017) and included in the present analysis.

Current guidelines of antithrombotic therapy suggest early initiation of vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in non-cancer patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE), and long-term therapy with low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for those with cancer. We used data from RIETE (international registry of patients with VTE) to report the use of long-term anticoagulant therapy over time and to identify predictors of anticoagulant choice (regarding international guidelines) in patients with- and without cancer. Among 35,280 patients without cancer, 82% received long-term VKA (but 17% started after the first week).

How big is this sound? Crossmodal association between pitch and size in infants.

Infant Behav Dev

February 2015

Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour (IR3C), Barcelona, Spain; Departament de Psicologia Bàsica, Facultat de Psicologia, Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied how 4- and 6-month-old infants connect pitch with the size of objects.
  • The results showed that only the 6-month-olds demonstrated a clear connection between these two senses.
  • This indicates that older infants have more experience or developmental maturity, which helps them make these crossmodal associations better than younger infants.

Article Synopsis
  • * In a study, participants were exposed to either synchronized audiovisual stimuli or a 220-ms delay for 3 minutes to see if this adaptation affected their perception of sounds at different frequencies.
  • * Results showed that participants' perception of audiovisual timing improved regardless of the sound frequency, indicating that this adaptation involves broader brain areas not limited by specific sound features like frequency.
