Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of alcoholism on skeletal and cardiac muscle.
Alvaro Urbano-Márquez,Ramon Estruch,Francisco Navarro-López,Grau Jm,Lluís Mont,Emanuel Rubin +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that myopathy of skeletal muscle and cardiomyopathy are common among persons with chronic alcoholism and that alcohol is toxic to striated muscle in a dose-dependent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNFα and IL-6) correlates with the intensity of the systemic inflammatory response and with corticosteroid requirements in giant-cell arteritis
José Hernández-Rodríguez,Marta Segarra,C. Vilardell,M. Sánchez,Ana García-Martínez,M. J. Esteban,Carme Queralt,Grau Jm,Alvaro Urbano-Márquez,A Palacín,D. Colomer,Maria C. Cid +11 more
TL;DR: GCA patients with a strong systemic inflammatory response, who have been previously shown to be more resistant to corticosteroid therapy, have elevated tissue expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1beta, TNFalpha and IL-6.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between strong inflammatory response and low risk of developing visual loss and other cranial ischemic complications in giant cell (temporal) arteritis
Maria C. Cid,Carme Font,J. Oristrell,A. De La Sierra,Blanca Coll-Vinent,Alfonso López-Soto,J Vilaseca,Alvaro Urbano-Márquez,Grau Jm +8 more
TL;DR: The presence of a strong acute-phase response defines a subgroup of patients at very low risk of developing cranial ischemic complications, and provides a rationale for testing less aggressive treatment schedules in these individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical features in patients with permanent visual loss due to biopsy-proven giant cell arteritis.
TL;DR: A high proportion of patients with permanent visual loss have a delayed diagnosis and treatment and a wider recognition of the disease would potentially reduce the prevalence of irreversible visual loss among GCA patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical and histochemical adaptation to sprint training in young athletes
Joan A. Cadefau,Jordi Casademont,Grau Jm,José María Fernández,A. Balaguer,Vernet M,Roser Cussó,Alvaro Urbano-Márquez +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a long period of sprint training induces a biochemical muscle adaptation to anaerobic exercise and is followed by a morphological adaptation, although this is probably not as specific as the biochemical one.
