Association between plasma phospholipid saturated fatty acids and metabolic markers of lipid, hepatic, inflammation and glycaemic pathways in eight European countries: a cross-sectional analysis in the EPIC-InterAct study
Background Accumulating evidence suggests that individual circulating saturated fatty acids (SFAs) are heterogeneous in their associations with cardio-metabolic diseases, but evidence about associations of SFAs with metabolic markers of different pathogenic pathways is limited. We aimed to examine the associations between plasma phospholipid SFAs and the metabolic markers of lipid, hepatic, glycaemic and inflammation pathways.…
Serum concentrations of organochlorine compounds and predictors of exposure in children living in agricultural communities from South-Eastern Spain
Background Information on exposure levels to organochlorine compounds (OCs) in child population is limited, despite their greater vulnerability to the adverse health effects of these chemicals. Objective To determine serum concentrations of 10 OCs (including organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls –PCBs–) in children living in agricultural communities from Almería (South-Eastern Spain), and to identify the…

Circulating concentrations of vitamin D in relation to pancreatic cancer risk in European populations
Evidence from in vivo, in vitro and ecological studies are suggestive of a protective effect of vitamin D against pancreatic cancer. However, this has not been confirmed by analytical epidemiological studies. We aimed to examine the association between pre-diagnostic circulating vitamin D concentrations and pancreatic cancer incidence in European populations. We conducted a pooled nested…
PSS15 – Economic Evaluation for The Treatment of Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) From The NHS Perspective: A Spending Predictor Model for Italy, Romania and Spain
Objectives Dalbavancin is a new innovative long-acting antimicrobial treatment of Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) that allows clinicians to endorse an early discharge (ED) approach. Aim of this study was to develop a spending predictor model for evaluating the direct costs associated with the management of ABSSSI from a National Payer perspective…
