Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-6 in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhosis: Relationship with the development of renal impairment and mortality
Miguel Navasa,Antonio Follo,Xavier Filella,Wladimiro Jiménez,Anna Francitorra,Ramon Planas,Antoni Rimola,Vicente Arroyo,Joan Rodés +8 more
TL;DR: The inflammatory response to the infection may be an important mechanism of renal impairment and the associated mortality in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airway inflammation and bronchial microbial patterns in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TL;DR: Bronchial neutrophilia is a key inflammatory pattern in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients and may represent an independent stimulus for additional airway inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor markers (CEA, CA 125, CYFRA 21-1, SCC and NSE) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer as an aid in histological diagnosis and prognosis: Comparison with the main clinical and pathological prognostic factors
Rafael Molina,Xavier Filella,Josep M. Augé,R. Fuentes,I. Bover,J. Rifa,Victor Moreno,E. Canals,Nuria Viñolas,A. Marquez,Esther Barreiro,Josep M. Borràs,P. Viladiu +12 more
TL;DR: All tumor markers showed a clear relationship with tumor stage and histology and therefore enabled a better histological diagnosis and helped in the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bronchial inflammation and colonization in patients with clinically stable bronchiectasis.
J Angrill,Carlos Agustí,R de Celis,Xavier Filella,Ana Rañó,M Elena,J P de la Bellacasa,Antonio Xaubet,A. Torres +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that patients with bronchiectasis in a stable clinical condition present an active neutrophilic inflammation in the airways that is exaggerated by the presence of MPP, and the higher the bacterial load the more intense the inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomarkers improve mortality prediction by prognostic scales in community-acquired pneumonia
Rosario Menéndez,Raquel Martinez,Soledad Reyes,José Mensa,Xavier Filella,Maria Angeles Marcos,A Martínez,C. Esquinas,Paula Ramirez,Antoni Torres +9 more
TL;DR: Adding CRP levels to PSI, CURB65 and CRB65 scales improves the 30-day mortality prediction, and the highest predictive value is reached with a combination of two scales and CRP.
