The parcel area reaches 19,000 square meters and it will raise a building of four floors and a basement that will add 16,100 meters square and will be completed with space for 200 parking spaces.

The decision taken by the management this week is a mere formality. As the floor of the extension of Souk district in which Chiron wants to make hospital is owned by the municipality and is listed as suitable for medical equipment, the first step of the technical mechanism that would yield Consistory that management becomes aware of the project and, in a phase that will begin shortly, to open a specification for the grant of that land to a company that wants to make a hospital in it. In addition to Chiron, which is who has driven the administrative procedure to submit their plans to the Management may choose to use that land other than healthcare companies. The logic is that Chiron is the beneficiary of the grant.

The group's plans are ambitious. The investment of 39 million euros in civil engineering and seven medical teams will go to set up a hospital that only in its first year of operation, there is no by the time an estimate of how long the work will have 253 workers. The model will be increased in the first years of operation of the hospital, so you get to 584 in its fifth year. Most physicians are employees (189), followed by assistants (181), nurses (112), technicians (43), managers (39) and guards (20).

What will be provided in the hospital’s medical specialties by Chiron? Almost all of the medical services will be provided as per the catalog; the catalog is listed with 38 health centers, from cardiology to psychiatry through Assisted Reproduction and Urology. The enclosure will have six operating rooms, two of them ambulatory, three delivery rooms, three rooms expansion, a hemodynamic, two endoscopy, five beds in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for adults, eight for infants along with an emergency room for adults and the pediatric patients. The site is complete with a surgical day care and other cancers besides with 60 queries, an analytical laboratory, another of Pathology and one of Assisted Reproduction.

Plans for Chiron handled Cordoba building located in the first of the four floors of exhibition include the emergency department, the outpatient, chapel, hall, catering services and cafeteria.

The company operates in 45 facilities, including general hospitals in twenty towns.Get more information by visiting this site www.reviewlization.com/

SOX2 Protein That Resists Treatment Of Breast Cancer

A study in the Basque Country shows that SOX2 protein makes the tumor more aggressive in recurrence.

A study led by researcher Mary Vivanco, Basque center CIC bioGUNE bioscience research has revealed that SOX2 protein resists the treatment of breast cancer and causes the tumor to return and become ‘more aggressive and invasive’ than the first.

Research shows that SOX2 protein ‘fosters whole rebellion against cancer endocrine therapy to desensitize tumor cells compared to hormone treatment,’ says CIC bioGUNE in a statement.

Recently published in the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine, the study was carried out by the Basque research center involving Galdakao (Bizkaia) and Preteimagen clinic.

Breast cancer is the most common among women, and though it has a high cure rate-around 80 percent can have very serious effects.

The majority of cases of breast cancer mortality is caused by so-called recurrence, namely malignant tumor recurrence after a shorter or longer period of freedom from disease.

In severe cases, when the tumor recurs, it is resistant to treatment and has higher invasive capacity and is more aggressive than the previous tumor, so it is a serious clinical problem, adds the note.

The study explains how some tumors revive, despite having been treated and even ‘become more aggressive and invasive’, and concludes that SOX2 protein helps keep these cancer stem cells.

According to research, the protein has ‘double effect of making cells more resistant to the treatment and to facilitate the survival of cells that originate recurrence’.

‘This makes SOX2 protein a potential biomarker for resistance to treatment. Its concentration in a tumor could warn the danger of this,’ she adds.

According to María Vivanco, this finding ‘may provide a novel strategy to address breast cancer resistant to hormone therapy’ through drugs such as tamoxifen, which is used in the vast majority of cases.

Vivanco is specialized in breast cancer research and has participated in other studies such as the one published in 2012 in the journal ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’ (PNAS) which explained how protein HOXB9 helped cancer cells radiotherapy survive.

The Sauce Contains Substances That Prevents Cancer & Cardiovascular Disease

The union of food usually forms a sauce added with biohealthy compounds each having separately.

Scientists Biomedical Research Center in Red-Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition (CIBERobn) and the University of Barcelona have confirmed that the sauce with olive oil, onion, garlic and tomato increases the amount of polyphenols and carotenoids, the antioxidants that can help prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease.

In the research, the data published in the journal 'Food Chemistry', we used a mass spectrometry technique to analyze high resolution 10 types of commercial sofritos, although the authors claim to be extrapolated to the landlord.

Thus, the results revealed the presence of at least 40 types of polyphenols as well as carotenoids and vitamin C, relevant data and various studies have shown that the intake of carotenoids, such as lycopene prevents prostate cancer, and consumption of foods rich in beta-carotene, and helps reduce the incidence of lung cancer.

Specifically, explained to SINC María Rosa Lamuela researcher, author of the study, they found that in a daily intake of 120 grams of sauce, the total polyphenol intake was 16-24 milligrams per serving and 6-10 milligrams in the case of carotenoids.

The union of food that usually forms a sauce added biosaludable compounds each having separately. Therefore, with respect to oil, the scientists recommend using virgin olive better than sunflower.

In fact, they are now looking for the ideal ratio of four ingredients, and it seems that the presence of a 10 percent extra virgin olive oil offers very good results in the properties of the sauce.

The researchers also performed a statistical analysis to the levels of phenolic compounds and carotenoids found in each sauce, which has allowed them to identify markers that differentiate each brand components.Get more information by visiting this site www.reviewlization.com/

Ninth Edition of Career Women of Barcelona Raises 50,000 Euros for Cancer

The ninth edition of Career Women of Barcelona, which was held on Sunday with 20,000 participants with dorsal, has raised 50,000 euros to be allocated to the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC).

As explained by the organization, told Europa Press, the winner of the race was Txell Calduch, who completed the 6.7-kilometer route starting and finishing on Avenida Maria Cristina in a time of 23 minutes and 40 seconds.

This year's edition has broken her record of involvement with the sale of 20,000 lats – the limit is marked by security - which sold out in a few days, and has exceeded 15,000 participants in 2012.

The AECC-Catalunya Barcelona Against Cancer has supported those affected at an information tent installed in the Fonts de Montjuic, where you were able to buy some glass roses forming part of the campaign 'a l'AECC Suma't, sum 't to pink' breast cancer.

Annually the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC)-Catalunya organized this race in order to ‘sensitize Catalan society’ to the higher incidence of malignancy among women.Get more information by visiting this site www.reviewlization.com/

A Contraceptive Vaginal Ring Prevents HIV Infection

A new intravaginal ring, presented at the Annual Meeting and Exposition of 2013 from the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) has contraceptive effects, but also protects against infection of HIV and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2 ). This new system, called, multi-prevention, says Meredith Clark of the School of Medicine West Virginia University in the US can remain in the vagina for up to 90 days and releases the contraceptive levonorgestrel and tenofovir , an antiretroviral which inhibits the replication of HIV and HSV.

The researchers analyzed the effects of the drug release in vitro and pharmacokinetic studies performed of the ring for three months in rabbits and sheep and compared with drug levels observed when tenofovir gel used.

The results found that tenofovir levels in the target tissue administered by the vaginal ring were similar or superior to those obtained after the application of tenofovir gel, a product that has been proven effective in preventing HIV and HSV infections women.

After the trial data, the researchers plan to begin in 2014 in phase I clinical trials in women, in which you can test the combination of drug ring and ring with only tenofovir. Tenofovir is the first microbicide proven to be effective in humans, as evidenced by the CAPRISA 004 trial, in which women using the gel before and after sex were reduced in HIV risk between 39 and 54 percent. This work also showed that the gel is 51% effective in reducing the transmission of herpes virus 2, so that this potentially provides a triple ring protection.

‘The ring TFV/LNG is the first device that is offered as both a contraceptive and preventive against HIV and HSV,’ says Clark, who recalls that the only tenofovir microbicide that has been proven effective in reducing HIV infections when used topically. So she says, ‘it is important to develop a variety of delivery mechanisms tenofovir in order to meet the different needs of women.’

The expert further states that products work only when used. ‘By having a ring that can remain in the body for up to 90 days, our hope is to offer a solution to increase adherence, therefore, provides greater protection against HIV while preventing pregnancy’, says the director of CONRAD Product Development, David Friend.

According to the World Health Organization, there are 35.3 million people living with HIV worldwide with an estimated 87 million unwanted pregnancies. Get more information by visiting this site www.reviewlization.com/

Need to Prioritize Resources on the Causes, and not the Consequences in ADHD

European Vice President Shire Pharmaceutical, Javier Urcelay, said Monday that in the current context of economic crisis, it should allocate resources better ‘to the cause of the fire before the blaze’, referring to how aid is allocated to help children affected by disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), in presenting the report 'Status of ADHD in Spain'.

‘The crisis should lead to good resources and prioritize attention. Sometimes it serves flares before the cause of the fire’, said Urcelay in a ceremony which was also attended by professor of psychiatry at the University of New York, Dr. Luis Rojas Marcos, the president of the Spanish Federation of Associations of Help ADHD, Fulgencio Madrid and the head of child psychiatry at the University Hospital of Navarra, Dr. César Soutullo.

ADHD is very important in Spain and needs to be diagnosed it early, since according Soutullo ‘77% of the cause of the disorder is genetic,’ where he added that if a child has this disorder, it is not at all the fault of the family.

The report, which has involved ‘more than 225 experts, we have conducted a survey of 800 people, 7 tables 190 specialists and expert interviews,’ as clarified Urcelay, has been described as ‘the best I have read in years on this issue’, assured Dr. Rojas Marcos.

‘This report is the conclusion of three years of work. A pioneer in the world because for the first time, it brings together a team of experts and specialists in the areas in which ADHD impacts, from the family to the world of education and health’, added European Vice President Shire.

Soutullo has clarified that one of the biggest problems being facing is its great ignorance of ADHD. ‘There is a delay in diagnosis because little is known yet about ADHD. Problem is attributed to a child's family, but not a brain problem,’ he said.

Meanwhile, Madrid has also pointed out that the important thing is that the company is aware of the fact that this disorder will affect many people in Spain. ‘What we consider important is that we must raise awareness in society in general, but the study shows that the level of knowledge has improved.’

Still, it welcomed to see that first attempts to address from a common position on this problem. For the first time, all together try to give suggestions for improvement and we thought it was a very important issue. Everything is slow in the diagnosis and makes it worse to deal with.

‘In Spain, there are many difficulties in the caring, that is, when a teacher or pediatrician detects that a child may have symptoms of ADHD, finds it difficult to identify to which professional should go, this should improve,’ said Soutullo on issues more problematic when solving diagnostics.

‘They can threaten self-esteem of these children because they think they are to blame for what happens to them and that can lead to problems later in adulthood,’ stated Rojas Marcos.

Soutullo, meanwhile, clarified that it is important to continually monitor. ‘A good way to avoid abandonment is to continuously monitor the disease and make frequent visits.

‘Once the diagnosis is clear - to be done by experts - the school system must create a series of accommodations, the right to have some adjustments which are of two types: the time needed to complete the tests and space with the lower potential stimuli,’ said Dr. Rojas Marcos, which concluded this point by saying that ADHD’ is everyone's job, school system, the family and society in general.’

On how she tries to tailor solutions in the normal life of children, Soutullo, clarified what is done in some classes. ‘In some regions, there are protocols that include specific educational modifications, such as giving different sheets or more time to complete the same test as the rest,’ she assured.

Madrid wanted to point out that some families are suffering to pay for treatments of ADHD. ‘The families are bearing a cost of ADHD that makes many not to have access to diagnosis and following treatment.’

‘The vocation of the plan is to generate data in our own population. The cost is 6,200 euros annual per year for children who do not respond and 3,900 euros for a child who does respond. Such a difference is what we might try to reduce because one of the factors a major response to treatment is not delayed diagnosis.

In Spain, there are no resources for specific disorders. Expenses in the CCAA, we can not distinguish between what is spent for ADHD’ clarified Madrid, who added that the price of medication is a big concern because ‘there are families who are leaving treatment.’

Urcelay has also stated that at this time, there are two ongoing studies, one on the economic impact of this treatment on families and the other is about the impact of ADHD on school failure to see what correlation exists between the suffering of this disorder and school failure, and the second is on the impact of ADHD in Spanish families affected,’ he concluded.

In another issue that has been addressed in the report, Soutullo indicated that a major problem is that adults affected by this problem do not think it is anything serious.

‘In adults, they sometimes think it is not a problem. Couple must involve the patient because it does not recognize it, then this can lead to alcohol and drug disorders,’ said the chief of child psychiatry at the University Hospital of Navarra.

A proper monitoring and compliance in childhood can prevent serious problems in adulthood, as also discussed Soutullo ‘When you put a correct treatment in a child, then that work is not continued in the adolescent. This is a problem when going to adulthood because even in adults, it is a disorder that is not recognized’.

‘We must see if the disorder in adults continues to cause difficulties. The presence of symptoms that do not cause difficulties would not be enough to make diagnosis. The symptoms must seek to have an impact,’ concluded Soutullo.Get more information by visiting this site www.reviewlization.com/
