Dialect: Integrating Technology and Reading Assessment to Diagnose Spanish Reading DifficultiesThe current study describes the development of an Ipad-based assessment tool to identify Spanish reading difficulties of Kindergarten through third-grade students. The tool follows a whole-to-part approach...
The present study aims to assess the value of past clinical profile of asthma and its differential diagnosis from COPD in male smokers and thereby to formulate clinical parameters to diagnose bronchial asthma in such patients. Male smokers who reported at the Respiratory Medicine Department of the ...
These CT examinations have to be excluded from our risk prediction analyses because their related CT scan radiation would not be responsible for the onset of the cancer they were used to diagnose/monitor. Therefore, we used the data from the only Spanish EPI-CT participating hospital that ...
Exposure to an adverse prenatal environment can influence fetal development and result in long-lasting changes in the offspring. However, the association between maternal exposure to stressful events during pregnancy and the achievement of pre-reading skills in the offspring is unknown. Here we examined...
Researchers of the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) at the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) have developed and validated a new method to diagnose hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome based on mass sequencing of BRCA1 and BRCA
[161]. The good news is that, due to their evident anti-inflammatory properties, flavonoids are clinically relevant candidates as preventive and therapeutic agents to improve individual outcomes in diseases linked to the non-physiologic inflammation. The challenge is, however, to diagnose well in ...
In just one year, using Microsoft technology, the doctors in Spain were able to successfully diagnose 1,400 patients suffering from Dravet syndrome and other genetic conditions.

AI is quickly being integrated into healthcare, includingprograms that diagnose diabetic retinopathy,analyze mammogramsandconnect patients with nurses remotely. Promotors of the technology often make the grandiose claim that soon everyone will have their own “AI doctor.” ...
The study population (PdH cohort) consisted of 84 DLBCL patients, diagnosed in Spanish medical institutions between 2002 and 2016. Five of the patients (PDLB63-PDLB67) had a diagnosis of DLBCL after a histological transformation of follicular lymphoma without treatment prior to transformation33. For...
BDs are difficult to diagnose even by standard methods. The Cohen’s kappa for reliability of the BD-I diagnosis is 0.56 and as low as 0.40 for BD-II [67]. In addition, the illness shows marked clinical and neurobiological heterogeneity [10, 12]. Perhaps most importantly, we worked with...
