Changes in molecular biomarkers of neurotoxicity in newborns following prenatal exposure to organophosphate compounds

Artículos Científicos, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

The rising incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders has been associated with early-life exposure to environmental factors, particularly neurotoxicants like organophosphate compounds (OPCs), which can impact brain development and function. This study examined the relationship between prenatal exposure to OPCs and molecular biomarkers of neurotoxicity in cord blood from 398 mother-child pairs in the GENEIDA birth cohort…

Carbapenemase production and in-hospital mortality associated with multidrug-resistant bacteria: a retrospective study conducted in Granada, Spain

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer

Background Multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR) represent a significant global health concern and vary in specific settings. Spain reported several annual deaths attributed to MDR bacteria, mainly carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales. Objectives We aimed to characterise the incidence and temporal trends of MDR bacterial infections or colonisations reported within the province of Granada (data from five hospitals), and to…

Evolution of the risk of death and hospitalisation in drivers involved in road crashes in spain, 1993–2020: an age-period-cohort analysis

Artículos Científicos, Investigación

Background A prerequisite for understanding temporal changes in road crash severity is an unbiased description of this phenomenon. The aim of this study was to estimate the independent association trends of age, period and cohort with severity, encompassing the risk of death (RD) and the risk of death or hospitalisation (RDH) within 24 h, for drivers…

Prediagnostic Plasma Nutrimetabolomics and Prostate Cancer Risk: A Nested Case–Control Analysis Within the EPIC Study

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Background and Objective: Nutrimetabolomics may reveal novel insights into early metabolic alterations and the role of dietary exposures on prostate cancer (PCa) risk. We aimed to prospectively investigate the associations between plasma metabolite concentrations and PCa risk, including clinically relevant tumor subtypes. Methods: We used a targeted and large-scale metabolomics approach to analyze plasma samples…

Examining causal relationships between educational attainment and type 2 diabetes using genetic analysis: findings from the EPIC-InterAct study through Mendelian randomisation

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Introduction Observational studies have shown that more educated people are at lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, robust study designs are needed to investigate the likelihood that such a relationship is causal. This study used genetic instruments for education to estimate the effect of education on T2D using the Mendelian randomisation (MR)…

Building competency to deal with environmental health challenges: experiences and a proposal

Artículos Científicos, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

The global landscape of professional training in environmental health, encompassing ecological public health or environmental public health, lacks consistent global implementation for training programs for public health practitioners, clinical professionals, and individuals across various disciplines, as well as standardized curricula for undergraduates. This training gap is related to the overall lack of capacity in addressing…

Socio-Economic Inequalities in Beliefs About Cancer and its Causes: Evidence From two Population Surveys

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Objective People’s beliefs about cancer can affect the actions they take to prevent and detect the disease. We investigated socio-economic inequalities in beliefs about cancer and its causes in the general population. Methods We analyzed data from the representative probabilistic Spanish Oncobarometer survey (N = 4769, 2020) and the non-probabilistic weight-corrected Spanish Cancer Awareness Survey (N = 1029, 2022).…

Associations of milk, dairy products, calcium and vitamin D intake with risk of developing Parkinson´s disease within the EPIC4ND cohort

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Literature indicates a potential association between dairy consumption and risk of Parkinson´s disease (PD), especially among men, yet the results remain inconclusive. We investigated this association in a large prospective European cohort. Dietary and non-dietary data was collected from 183,225 participants of the EPIC-for-Neurodegenerative-Diseases (EPIC4ND) cohort, a sub-cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer…

Palliative sedation at the end of life: prevalence, characteristics and possible determinants

Artículos Científicos, Investigación

Background Palliative Sedation (PS) at the end of life is practiced and perceived differently by health professionals depending on the geographical location in which they provide their health care. Taking into account this heterogeneity, it is necessary to expand knowledge and provide data on this clinical practice in different contexts and countries. On the other…
