Although the association of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with an increased risk of poor physical function and frailty in older adults is widely documented, the underlying pathophysiological pathways linking these two entities are not fully understood. Accordingly, we conducted a cross-sectional observational study aiming to investigate the association of...
Background
Blood flow differences in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during dual-task walking are thought to indicate various degrees of neural efficiency. Individuals with poorer neural resources might need higher activation to meet behavioral performance. We aim to assess PFC cerebral blood flow (CBF) among older adults with and without mild cognitiv...
IntroductionIn a worldwide aging population with a high prevalence of motor and cognitive impairment, it is paramount to improve knowledge about underlying mechanisms of motor and cognitive function and their interplay in the aging processes.Methods
We measured prefrontal cerebral blood flow (CBF) using functional diffuse correlation spectroscopy d...
Objective
Alternatives to conventional acute hospitalizations have been particularly useful during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known on the management and outcomes of COVID-19 in older patient admitted to non-acute settings. The main aim of this study was to determine the effect of geriatrics syndromes on functional outcomes in older...
Study objectives:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a heterogeneous, complex disease. We aimed to identify OSA phenotypes through cluster analysis and to perform a long-term follow-up to validate the phenotypes.
Methods:
We applied a Partitioning Around Medioids technique in a cohort of 1217 participants recently diagnosed with OSA. We performed...
Objective
Sensory deficits are important risk factors for delirium but have been investigated in single-center studies and single clinical settings. This multicenter study aims to evaluate the association between hearing and visual impairment or bi-sensory impairment (visual and hearing impairment) and delirium.
Design
Cross-sectional study nested...
Abstract Background Since 2000, substantial increases in syphilis in men who have sex with men (MSM) have been reported in many cities. Condomless anal sex (CAS) is one of the factors, along with drugs for sex and sex in group. This study identified factors and clinical manifestations as well as Treponema pallidum (T.pallidum) strains that could be...
Introduction
The evolution of syphilis after treatment could be affected by different factors, for example HIV. In consequence, HIV positive patients are sometimes treated with more doses of penicillin (PBG).
The aim of the study is to describe and compare the serological evolution by different factors in patients with early syphilis in Barcelona....

Objectives
The Jarisch‐Herxheimer reaction (JHR) is a febrile inflammatory reaction that may occur in patients after treatment of syphilis. The overall rate is estimated to be 10‐25% with broad variations over time. It appears to be related to factors like stage of the disease or reagin titres. In this study we aimed to describe the incidence of an...
Objective:
To identify biomarkers associated with the development of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients treated with natalizumab (NTZ).
Methods:
Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients who developed PML under NTZ therapy (pre-PML) and non-PML natalizumab-treated patients (NTZ-ctr) were included in...
