Abstract

In 1896, for different reasons and requirements, the Institute of Operative Therapy of the Hospital de la Princesa was transferred to a new and ample site in the Moncloa district in Madrid, with building complexes and pavillions for the dispensaries and policlinics for practically all surgical specialties, with all the necessary equipment. This came to be known as the "Rubio Institute". Luis González Bravo y Serrano, Suender's assistant, was in charge of the new Dispensary and Clinic for Diseases of the Urinary Tract of the Institute until 1929; Carlos Negrete de los Reyes was his assistant. Both specialists' initiative and drive led to the creation of the Spanish Urological Society in 1911. They were elected President and Secretary, respectively, to the first Board of the Society. This article reviews the activities of the specialists in Diseases of the Urinary Tract of the new Institute in the provision of care, in the field of teaching and research, from their brilliant beginnings to their decline in 1936, when the Spanish Civil War broke out. In my view, for all the contributions of those who worked in this Section and its significant influence on the Spanish specialists during its existence of more than 50 years, the Dispe...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
