The high prevalence and burden of asthma and other chronic respiratory diseases worldwide has raised concerns about the potential role of environmental exposures. However, the evidence is still inadequate. This Thesis is ...
Antecedents: No hi ha gaire coneixement sobre el neurodesenvolupament de preescolars i la seva susceptibilitat enfront a factors ambientals. <br/>Objectius: Avaluar les respostes del neurodesenvolupament en nens i les ...
Research over the previous decades has shown us that early life influences have long-term effects on health and disease. Emerging science supports a role in the pathogenesis of obesity and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) for ...
L'exposició a factors de risc ambientals durant la vida intrauterina o la infància ha estat relacionada amb un major risc a desenvolupar diverses malalties. Tot i això, els mecanismes biològics subjacents són poc coneguts. ...
L'objectiu global d'aquesta tesi va ser avaluar l'eficiència, des de la perspectiva dels sistemes de salut, dels tractaments més establerts per als pacients diagnosticats amb càncer de pròstata localitzat. El "Estudi ...
La Síndrome d’apnea-hipoapnea obstructiva del son (SAHS) produeix una deficient resposta de la freqüència cardíaca (FC) als estímuls vagal i simpàtic (variabilitat de la FC -VFC- alterada). Els pacients amb flutter auricular ...
La Transició Epiteli-Mesènquima és el mecanisme pel qual les cèl·lules epitelials generades en regions particulars, poden dissociar-se de l'epiteli i migrar cap a nous destins, gràcies a uns canvis morfològics que transformen ...
Antecedentes y objetivo: Un creciente número de estudios epidemiológicos han asociado la exposición prenatal a contaminación atmosférica urbana con un menor crecimiento fetal, pero pocos están basados en cohortes prospectivas ...
Cerebral cortex is essential to exert the highest functions in mammals. Understanding the developmental processes that underlie the generation and functionality of cortical cell populations represents a mayor issue in ...
Introduction: Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) include a wide range of synthetic chemical substances that are ubiquitous in the environment and are identified as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) which can alter ...
Perception in our everyday life takes place in multisensory environments, and hence involves the processing of a multitude of signals captured by various sensory modalities. Given the different nature of the signals, ...
High levels of physical activity have been related to better prognosis in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, so far no interventions have proven effective to modify physical activity in ...
Las lesiones por tráfico son un importante problema de salud pública en España. En 2004, el gobierno español estableció la seguridad vial como una prioridad política, y creó el Plan Estratégico de Seguridad Vial 2005-2008, ...
Exposure to ambient temperatures has been widely described as an important health hazard. The most studied effect of temperatures is an increase on mortality; however, there is less evidence on other health impacts. In ...
Neuropathic pain is a complex disorder that includes nociceptive, emotional and cognitive manifestations. This work was focused on how inter-individual variability and endogenous opioid system may be associated with these ...
Acumulada evidencia en estudios experimentales sugiere que la exposición a contaminantes capaces de interrumpir el sistema endocrino podría alterar las vías moleculares de los procesos de regulación hormonal y epigenética ...
In many gonochoristic fish, sex is plastic since it can be altered by the influence of environmental factors. In this thesis, using the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) model, a teleost fish with a polygenic sex ...
When people learn a second language, they typically speak with a foreign accent. Crucially, foreign-accented speech is more difficult to understand and requires more processing time than native speech. Nevertheless, native ...
Maternal alcohol binge drinking during pregnancy can be deleterious for the developing foetus, leading to a wide range of long-lasting morphological and neurobehavioural disabilities known as foetal alcohol spectrum ...
Early-life stress is associated with maladaptive long-lasting brain effects. Such alterations increase the likelihood of developing several psychiatric disorders. However, the molecular consequences of early-life stress ...
