Advances in the genetics of refractive errors: Contributions from the CREAM consortium

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Consortium for Refractive Error and Myopia (CREAM) was established in 2011, bringing together an international team of researchers studying more than 30 cohorts. Since its establishment, CREAM has played a pivotal role in research investigating the genetics of myopia and other refractive errors, serving as a key driver of progress in the ...

En la población Canaria, la función de Framingham estima mejor el riesgo de mortalidad cardiovascular que la función SCORE Framingham function estimates the risk of cardio vascular mortality more effectively than SCORE function in the population of the Canary Islands (Spain)

Gaceta Sanitaria, 2009
Objetivos: Comparar la estimación de eventos cardiovasculares fatales con las funciones de Framingham y SCORE, además de explorar su capacidad para detectar el riesgo aportado por factores no incluidos en sus ecuaciones: sedentarismo, obesidad, perímetro

Ultrasound and MRI abdominal fat distribution and its associations with metabolic conditions in adults with abdominal obesity

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims To evaluate the accuracy of abdominal fat distribution of subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) assessed by ultrasound (US) compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as the gold standard technique. Additionally, to assess the association between abdominal fat distribution measured by US and metabolic conditions in ...

Framingham Risk Score with Cardiovascular Events in Chronic Kidney Disease

PLoS ONE, 2013
The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) was developed to predict coronary heart disease in various populations, and it tended to under-estimate the risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Our objectives were to determine whether FRS was associated with cardiovascular events, and to evaluate the role of new risk markers and echocardiographic parameters ...

Metformin attenuates metabolic insulin sensitivity and insulin‐stimulated carbohydrate oxidation after high‐intensity exercise training in adults at risk for metabolic syndrome

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Mixed evidence exists on whether metformin adds to or attenuates the insulin‐sensitising effects of exercise. To date, no studies have tested whether metformin differentially impacts exercise training intensity–mediated insulin sensitivity.
