Immunotherapy with chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) has revolutionized the treatment of oncohematological diseases and its applications in solid tumors and non-neoplastic diseases are advancing. Cytopenias after CAR-T therapy are the most frequent complication in the medium and long term after treatment, they are a cause of morbimortality, and there are no effective therapies available. The general objective of the present research project is to analyze, in a series of 40 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma undergoing consecutive commercial CAR-T therapy at the University Hospital of Salamanca, the characteristics of the hematopoietic niche and the systemic and bone marrow inflammatory status in patients with prolonged cytopenias after CAR-T cell therapy with respect to those without cytopenias and with respect to the pre-treatment situation (performing quantitative and functional analysis of the stroma by immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and genomic studies, in addition to functional hematopoietic assays-clonogenic assays, long-term cultures-), and to evaluate both in vitro (by co-culturing with macrophages activated by CAR-T/tumor cell interaction and assessing cytokines) and in vivo (in an animal model of lymphoma and CRS) the therapeutic potential of therapies aimed at repairing the hematopoietic bone marrow microenvironment, such as the use of allogeneic mesenchymal cells (MSC) from healthy donors and MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EV) studying their effects on inflammatory mediators, hematopoiesis and the cytotoxic effect of CAR-T.
The aging of the global population presents significant social and health challenges. In Aragón, 15% of the population is between 65 and 79 years old, and the over-aging index is 16.6%, higher than the national average. This aging necessitates promoting healthy aging and maintaining functional capacity in advanced ages. Currently, 15% of the Aragonese population is potentially dependent, a figure that rises to 26% among those over 85 years old. The decline in functional capacity is due to auditory, visual, joint, and proprioceptive issues, resulting in increased vulnerability to falls, which are a significant cause of death among the elderly. The frailty syndrome, although common with aging, is not inevitable and is characterized by the loss of functional capacity and increased risk of falls and hospitalization. To assess this capacity in frail individuals, specific tools like the Mini-Motor Test, the Morton Mobility Index, and the Elderly Mobility Scale exist. The BESTest, developed in 2009, evaluates balance but is time-consuming to administer, leading to the creation of a shorter version, the Mini BESTest. However, both can be limiting for frail individuals. To address these limitations, the Frail'BESTest was developed, evaluating six balance subsystems and being suitable for frail individuals, making it a valid and sensitive tool in clinical practice. This research project aims to develop tools that identify balance problems in frail individuals with mild cognitive impairment, allowing for specific interventions to reduce the risk of falls.
Spastic Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy (SHCP) uses to limit the manual function. Using anodic transcranial direct current stimulation, it is possible to activate certain cerebral areas depending on where the electrodes are. This study will use this kind of stimulation on the contralateral primary motor cortex of the affected upper limb and analyze the effects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of naxitamab, granulocyte macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM CSF) and Isofosfamide/Carboplatin/Etoposide (NICE) for Patients With Relapsed /Refractory, soft tissue or anti GD2 immunotherapy refractory Neuroblastoma
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the effect of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) on the outcome of root coverage therapy. The main question it aims to answer is: In gingival recessions associated with NCCLs, characterized by an undetectable cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), reconstruction of the CEJ with a cervical composite restoration, prior to root coverage surgery by means of a coronally advanced flap combined with a connective tissue graft (CAF+CTG), provides similar clinical and patient-reported outcomes, as compared to the treatment of gingival recessions associated with NCCLs, characterized by a visible CEJ, with root coverage surgery only, by means of a CAF+CTG. In NCCLs where the CEJ is undetectable (B-type defect), the CEJ will be reconstructed before surgery with a cervical composite restoration mimicking the anatomic features of the contralateral, homologous tooth. CAF+CTG treatment will be performed in all cases. Participants will be assessed at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months to evaluate clinical, volumetric, and patient-centred outcomes.
A randomised and controlled trial, in which the effect of Modern Colon Hydrotherapy is evaluated in the gastrointestinal transit of subjects with functional constipation
This study aims to evaluate the effect of the implementation of the new Asthma Care Pathway in the Basque Healthcare Service for the improvement of care for children with asthma attacks and the reduction of variability between professionals and care settings in this care practice. Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children and has a major impact on people's quality of life. The Asthma Care Pathway is a structured multidisciplinary care plan that details the essential steps in the care of patients with mild-moderate asthma attacks and the coordinated practice of the agents involved as dictated by the evidence. This pathway will include quality indicators of compliance with diagnostic criteria, assessment of severity and prescription of drugs, as well as the experience of families and professionals, which have been collected in meetings designed for this purpose. The study consists in a mixed methods implementation trial with two phases: 1. Phase I: a quantitative evaluation will be carried out to assess implementation outcomes at the professional level through a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study with paired control group, with a ratio of 1:2. The primary outcome variable will be the overall percentage of bronchodilator treatment with a spacer chamber in children diagnosed with mild-moderate asthma attacks. We will also include as outcomes to be measured the registration rate of the Pulmonary Score, the recording rate of the assessment of persistent asthma symptoms, and the rate of initiation of background treatment in children with persistent asthma symptoms. These variables will be analysed using differences in pre- and post-intervention outcome measures between the intervention and control groups. 2. Phase II: A qualitative evaluation will be carried out through a structured process with discussion groups focused on the identification of the main barriers and facilitators for the provision of recommended clinical practice related to asthmatic crisis in mild-moderate cases established by the Asthma Care Pathway. A purposive sample of paediatricians stratified by level of care and service organisations will be recruited to ensure that all views are represented in the discussion groups. The structured script will be designed with questions to explore each of the domains of the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). The study will be carried out mainly in two integrated healthcare organizations (IHO), which are made up of two primary care areas and the paediatric reference hospital emergency department of both areas, as well as the hospitalisation, intensive care and paediatric pneumology departments of said hospital, to extend in the future the Asthma Care Pathway to the rest of the Basque Health Service IHOs.
A controlled and randomized clinical trial will be conducted, in which scores on dependent variable measures will be compared before and after the intervention, both in the experimental group (EG) (individuals who will attend the in an aquatic program based on the back school) and in the control group (CG) (individuals who will not attend the in an aquatic program based on the back school). The experimental procedure will follow the recommendations of the CONSORT and TidIER guidelines. The study protocol will be approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the University of Vigo. This study will be conducted under the Declaration of Helsinki (2013 version). Participants will sign a written informed consent after being informed of the benefits and risks of the research. Participants in the EG will participate in an aquatic program based on the back school. This program will follow the recommendations of the biopsychosocial model of chronic pain and will be conducted in an aquatic environment. The intervention will be carried out by physiotherapists in a sports centre. The duration of the intervention will be six weeks, with a frequency of two sessions per week, totalling 12 sessions of 45 minutes each. Of all the sessions, 10 will have a practical focus and the other two will have a theoretical focus.
