    Title translation I + D + i: from research to management.
    Abstract The project of the European Commission Towards a European Space of Research, presented in the year 2000, aims at increasing the impact on R+ D and defining the scientific policy for Europe. The materialization of this project implies commitment and support from member States, the coordination of research activities between each one of them, and the development of modern management systems and methods. In Spain, R+ D + i activities include (regional, national, and international) Programs, Plans, and Actions on R + D and the participation in relevant Contracts with enterprises, the Administration, or both. In this setting, several general aspects of the National Plan on R + D + i (2004-2007) and of the 7th European Framework Program of the EU are presented and some issues on biomedical research, the role of universities in scientific production, the relevance of knowledge as a significant resource, and the need of managing the latter as a source of competitive advantage are commented.

    Abstract Background: Traditional methods for deciding whether to recommend a patient for a prostate biopsy are based on cut-off levels of stand-alone markers such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or any of its derivatives. However, in the last decade we have seen the increasing use of predictive models that combine, in a non-linear manner, several predictives that are better able to predict prostate cancer (PC), but these fail to help the clinician to distinguish between PC and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) patients. We construct two new models that are capable of predicting both PC and BPH.
    Methods: An observational study was performed on 150 patients with PSA ≥3 ng/mL and age >50 years. We built a decision tree and a logistic regression model, validated with the leave-one-out methodology, in order to predict PC or BPH, or reject both.
    Results: Statistical dependence with PC and BPH was found for prostate volume (P-value < 0.001), PSA (P-value < 0.001), international prostate symptom score (IPSS; P-value < 0.001), digital rectal examination (DRE; P-value < 0.001), age (P-value < 0.002), antecedents (P-value < 0.006), and meat consumption (P-value < 0.08). The two predictive models that were constructed selected a subset of these, namely, volume, PSA, DRE, and IPSS, obtaining an area under the ROC curve (AUC) between 72% and 80% for both PC and BPH prediction.
    Conclusion: PSA and volume together help to build predictive models that accurately distinguish among PC, BPH, and patients without any of these pathologies. Our decision tree and logistic regression models outperform the AUC obtained in the compared studies. Using these models as decision support, the number of unnecessary biopsies might be significantly reduced.

    Title translation Comparative analysis: Effectiveness of nicotine addiction treatment in people with psychiatric comorbidity.
    Abstract Objective: To determine whether or not nicotine addiction treatment was less effective in psychiatric than in the healthy population.
    Material and methods: A retrospective, descriptive and comparative cohort study was conducted in Albacete University Hospital during years 2008-2012 on all patients that attended the Tobacco Cessation Unit. The statistical tests used were Chi-squared, likelihood ratio, and the Student t test. Statistical significance P≤.05.
    Results: The study included a total of 1,484 patients, of which 48.6% were female. The mean age was 46.8 years, and the mean age of starting smoking was 17.6 years. The mean number of previous attempts to quit was 1.48, and mean number of cigarettes smoked was 25.39. They had a mean Fagerström score of 6.04, a Richmond score of 8.13, and a mean carbon monoxide level of 16.65ppm. Most patients were referred from Primary Care (38.7%) and Chest Diseases department (33%), and the type of tobacco smoked was "light" in 75.8%. There was 15% with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 8% with asthma, and 9.4% with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome. Furthermore, there was respiratory disease in 28.7%, cardiovascular disease in 4.6%, and both in 3.5%. Hiatus hernia was present in 7.2%, thyroid disease in 3.8%, hypertension in 19%, diabetes in 10.7%, and dyslipidaemia in 29.4%, Drugs were used by 7.1%, and 12.6% consumed alcohol. There was 39.3% psychiatric comorbidity (PC), and were comparable except in gender, age of onset, Fagerström, Richmond, source of referral, asthma, hiatus hernia, thyroid disease, hypertension, as well as drugs and treatment. Drug treatment was completed by 22.3% in the PC group, with no significant difference. There were differences in success (P=.008), but not in failure and relapse rates.
    Conclusion: Anti-smoking treatment in psychiatric patients is effective. An increase in the probability of treatment success is observed in patients without psychiatric comorbidity.

    Title translation Hepatotoxicity in the critically ill patient. The liver under an acute severe insult.
    Abstract The liver plays an essential role in the metabolism of most of the nutrients since it is a mainly metabolic organ carrying out a series of physiological and metabolic processes related with protein and energy metabolism. The intestinal tract is considered a key element in the development of Multiorgan Dysfunction (MOD) or failure by loosing its barrier function (impaired permeability) against toxins, bio-products and occasionally intraluminal bacteria secondary to hypoxia, one of the main pathophysiogenic mechanisms being the insufficient blood flow to splacnic organs. Liver dysfunction and/or impairment of liver function test are a common event in critically ill patients. They may be due to previous liver cirrhosis or to more immediate causes of liver failure such as sepsis, drugs, liver transplant or any of the multiple etiologies for hepatitis.

    Title translation Serum microRNA-21 usefulness in inflammatory pathology of the colon.
    Abstract Background: MicroRNAs are 20-22 nucleotide molecular structures with post-transcriptional activity that are involved in the immune response, as well as in the inflammatory pathways of different cells and tissues.
    Aims: We present herein a prospective study in which serum microRNA-21 expression was determined in patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis as a model of bowel inflammation.
    Material and methods: A prospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis was conducted. Serum microRNA-21 was analyzed through the PCR of blood samples taken from the patients prior to surgery. MicroRNA-21 values were compared with the analytic variables (leukocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, prothrombin activity, glucose, urea, and creatinine) and the anatomopathologic variables (normal appendix, phlegmonous, gangrenous, and perforated acute appendicitis).
    Results: A total of 60 patients with acute appendicitis diagnosis were consecutively included in the study from June to October 2009. Sixty-six percent of the patients were men (40 men and 20 women), with a mean age of 26.2±14.8 years. The mean absolute level of microRNA-21 was 24.8±0.93, whereas the mean microRNA-21 gene expression was 1.04±0.28. No correlation between the analytic and anatomopathologic parameters evaluated was observed (P=.47).
    Conclusions: It is necessary to continue to search for the most appropriate microRNAs, so that their determination in serum can lead to greater precision in establishing the diagnosis and outcome of inflammatory disorders of the bowel.

    Title translation Pathophysiology of neuromuscular impairments in the critically ill patient.
    Abstract Objective: to analyze the causes and manifestations of muscle weakness that critically ill patients develop during their staying at the ICU, and literature review.
    Development: in the early 1980s, a mixed axonal polyneuropathy was described in septic critically ill patients, which clinically manifested by muscle weakness of variable severity, leading to quadriplegia and/or ventilator dependency in its most severe presentation. Almost at the same time, an acute intensive care myopathy was described in asthmatic patients admitted to the ICU for asthma exacerbation. Later on, this myopathy was also observed in transplanted, septic, or burnt patients. Several authors consider acute intensive care myopathy as the main cause of muscle weakness in the ICU.
    Conclusions: in this article, we describe the clinical presentation, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of polyneuropathy of the critically ill patient and of acute intensive care myopathy. Both clinical pictures may be differentiated, with neurophysiological studies and eventually muscle biopsy being of great help. Although some authors rather include these conditions under the name of polyneuromyopathy, we propose the general denomination of Acute Neuromuscular Syndrome of the Critically Ill Patient, a more descriptive term no presupposing a single mechanism or etiology.
