Introduction Sepsis is a leading cause of admission to non-cardiological intensive care units (ICUs) and the second leading cause of death among ICU patients. We present the first extensive dataset on the epidemiology of severe sepsis treated in ICUs in Spain. Methods We conducted a prospective, observational, multicentre cohort study, carried out over two 3-month periods in 2002...

The important contribution of several researchers on the characteristics of H. pylori infection in Peru is shown in this article. Epidemiology: the onset of the infection is at early stages of life. The most important way of trasmission is the fecal-oral route and by water. The prevalence in low socioeconomic population is similar for the coast, mountain and jungle. The...
The cortical actin network is dynamically rearranged during secretory processes. Nevertheless, it is unclear how de novo actin polymerization and the disruption of the preexisting actin network control transmitter release. Here we show that in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells, both formation of new actin filaments and disruption of the preexisting cortical actin network are...
The disease huanglongbing (HLB), caused by the phloem-limited and psyllid-vectored ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ spp., is threatening the Mediterranean citrus industry. The African psyllid (Trioza erytreae) vector of the pathogen was detected in Madeira (Portugal) in 1994 and in the Canary Islands (Spain) in 2002, and its arrival in 2014 in northwest Spain and Portugal along the...
Background Cellulitis is a frequent cause of hospital admission of adult patients. Increasing prevalence of multiresistant microorganisms, comorbidities, predisposing factors and medical and surgical therapies might affect cellulitis response and recurrence rate. Methods Prospective and observational study of 606 adult patients with cellulitis admitted to several Spanish...
