Gut microbiome and serum metabolome analyses identify molecular biomarkers and altered glutamate metabolism in fibromyalgia
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
Background: Fibromyalgia is a complex, relatively unknown disease characterised by chronic, widespread musculoskeletal pain. The gut-brain axis connects the gut microbiome with the brain through the enteric nervous system ...
Inflammatory Mediators of Hepatic Steatosis

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rapidly becoming a world-wide public health problem. NAFLD represents a spectrum of disease ranging from “simple steatosis”, which is considered relatively benign, to nonalcoholic ...
Pravastatin inhibits cell proliferation and increased MAT1A expression in hepatocarcinoma cells and in vivo models
(BioMed Central, 2012-02-21)
Background: Statins may have therapeutic effects on hepatocarcinoma (HCC). This type of disorder is the most common malignant primary tumour in the liver. Our objective was to determine whether pravastatin had a therapeutic ...

(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020-08)
INTRODUCTION:Patients with Crohn's disease experiencing endoscopic postoperative recurrence (POR) may benefit from antitumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents but scarce data on this are available. Our aim was to assess the ...
Predictive Value of Carcinoembryonic Antigen in Symptomatic Patients without Colorectal Cancer: A Post-Hoc Analysis within the COLONPREDICT Cohort
(MDPI, 2020-12-02)
We aimed to assess the risk of cancer in patients with abdominal symptoms after a complete colonoscopy without colorectal cancer (CRC), according to the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) concentration, as well as its diagnostic ...
Pancreatic Cancer in Lynch Syndrome Patients
(Ivyspring International Publicactions, 2017)
Although colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common cancer type in Lynch syndrome (LS) families, patients have also increased lifetime risk of other types of tumors. The accumulated risk of pancreatic cancer (PC) in LS ...

Genetic Variants Associated with Colorectal Adenoma Susceptibility
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-04-14)
Background
Common low-penetrance genetic variants have been consistently associated with colorectal cancer risk.
Aim
To determine if these genetic variants are associated also with adenoma susceptibility and may ...
A colorectal cancer genome-wide association study in a Spanish cohort identifies two variants associated with colorectal cancer risk at 1p33 and 8p12
(BioMed Central, 2013-01)
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a disease of complex aetiology, with much of the expected inherited risk being due to several common low risk variants. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified 20 CRC ...
