Hibbs Association between Intermittent Hypoxia and Later Respiratory Morbidity.

Call
NIH-R01-HL16-015
Investigador principal
Dr. Máximo Vento
Role
Consultant
Year
2016

Longer term respiratory morbidity remains a major consequence of preterm birth. The hypotheses will be in Aims 1 and 2 that IH episodes at one week and one month of life are significantly associated with prolonged duration of hospitalization and respiratory support, as well as a high incidence of wheezing disorders by six months adjusted age. In Aim 3 that low serotonin levels are associated with a high incidence of IH and a prolonged recovery of respiratory effort after onset of desaturation. Finally, in Aim 4 a temporal relationship between IH episodes and markers of oxidative stress determined by urine and blood samples.

ALBINO ALBINO: Effect of allopurinol in addition to hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic brain injury on neurocognitive outcome.

Call
H2020-PHC-18-2015-two-stage.
Investigador principal
Dr. Máximo Vento
Role
Participant
Year
2015

This project aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of allopurinol administered immediately after birth to near-term infants with HIE in addition to hypothermic treatment. The project will also provide information on the effect of hypothermia on pharmacokinetics of drugs with a similar metabolism as allopurinol in neonates, and develop and validate biomarkers for neonatal brain injury using advanced magnetic resonance imaging, biochemistry, and electroencephalogramms, which will then be available for future studies testing neuroprotective interventions.

COBIOPHAD Compact biophotonic platform for drug allergy diagnosis.

Call
H2020-ICT-28-2015.
Investigador principal
Dr. Dolores Hernández F. de Rojas
Role
Participant
Year
2015

COBIOPHAD aims the development of an innovative in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device for diagnosis of IgE-mediated drug allergies by building an integrated biophotonic system based on compact disc technology. For that, key enabling technologies will be integrated in order to achieve high sensitive (<0.1 kUA/L), selective (>98%), multiplexed (10 BLCs), rapid (30 min), and low-cost (2.4 €/allergen) drug allergy test. The solution involves an advanced approach to the diagnosis and management of drug allergy with the aim to ameliorate patient safety.

TORPIDO-2 Targeted Oxygenation in the Resuscitation of Premature Infants: Effects on Developmental Outcome – the TORPIDO2 Study.

Call
National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), 2015.
Investigador principal
Dr. Máximo Vento
Role
Participant
Year
2015

The TORPIDO 2 study is a pragmatic, randomised controlled trial (RCT) in infants between 23 weeks and 28 weeks 6 days gestation which aims to test one primary and two secondary hypotheses; that, compared with starting resuscitation with 60% oxygen and a targeted oxygen saturation (SpO2) strategy, starting resuscitation with room air (21% oxygen) and the same targeted SpO2 strategy will improve the survival without major disability at 2 years corrected for gestation.

WiBEC Wireless in-body environment communications.

Call
H2020-MSCA-ITN-2015-ETN.
Investigador principal
Dr. Vicente Pons
Role
Participant
Year
2015

The main objective is to provide high quality and innovative doctoral training to develop the wireless technologies for novel implantable devices that will contribute to the improvement in quality and efficacy of healthcare.

EUToxRisk21 EUTOXRISK21. An Integrated EUropean ‘Flagship’ Program Driving Mechanism-based Toxicity Testing and Risk Assessment for the 21st Century.

Call
H2020-PHC-33-2015-single-stage_RTD.
Investigador principal
Dr. José Vicente Castell Ripoll
Role
Participant
Year
2015

The project will focus on repeated dose systemic toxicity (liver, kidney, lung and nervous system) as well as developmental/reproduction toxicity. EUToxRisk21 extensively integrates the adverse outcome pathway (AOP)-based toxicity testing concept, with advanced technologies, including high throughput transcriptomics, RNA interference, and high throughput microscopy, providing quantitative and mechanistic underpinning of AOPs and key events (KE). The project combines in silico tools and in vitro assays by computational modelling approaches to provide quantitative data on the activation of KE of AOP. This information, together with detailed toxicokinetics data, and in vitro-in vivo extrapolation algorithms forms the basis for improved hazard and risk assessment.

The Gerber Foundation Efficacy of oro-pharyngeal mother’s milk: late-onset sepsis in LBW infants.

Call
The Gerber Foundation Grants 2014.
Investigador principal
Dr. Máximo Vento
Role
Participant
Year
2015

The aim of this project is to compare the effects of oropharyngeal administration of mother's milk with buccal swabbing, to a placebo, for enhancing antioxidant defense maturation, or reducing pro-oxidant status in ELBW infants.

MDS-RIGHT Providing the right care to the right patient with MyeloDysplastic Syndrome at the right time.

Call
Horizon 2020, H2020- PHC-17-2014.
Investigador principal
Dr. Guillermo Sanz
Role
Participant
Year
2015

The main objective of MDS-RIGHT is to develop more effective and safe interventions for elderly patients with anemia and/or low-risk of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) by analyzing the European database EUMDS (European MDS Registry).

Emp-H “Empowering Hospital” – Emp - H.

Call
Project Grants (HP-PJ) 3rd EU Health Programme.
Investigador principal
Dr. Bernardo Valdivieso
Role
Participant
Year
2015

This multicentre project aims to foster health promotion interventions and environments suitable for prevention of diabetes or cardiovascular diseases. The strategy is based on the Health Promoting Hospitals (HPH) framework with a strong emphasis on evidence based prevention and would operate through a salutogenic approach (WHO Europe 2012) focusing on factors which support human health and well-being.
