The article “Cancer Patients and Anxiety: A Gender Perspective” published in the “International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health” is part of a study that received first prize in the 16th edition of the National Nursing Prize of the Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla with the title “Progressive muscle relaxation technique in the care […]
On April 14, the National Network of Biobanks (RNBB) began incorporating human biological samples from patients with COVID-19 disease into biobanks to make them available to research projects. In just 5 weeks, it has registered nearly 62,000 samples, mainly serum, nasopharyngeal exudates, blood, plasma and leukocytes, as well as urine, faeces, nucleic acids or tissues, […]
In order to carry out the reinstatement of the researchers to their jobs, IDIVAL has held meetings with the researchers and with the Health and Safety Committee to initiate the de-escalation of some of its workers. In order to carry out a safe reinstatement of workers, general de-escalation rules have been developed, a general procedure […]
Currently, there is still controversy as to what is the normal physiology of the motor system and control of voluntary movement in humans. Thus, most research and data come from animal experiments. Professor Fernández-Torre and his IDIVAL group have combined their experience in clinical practice in epilepsy and, in particular, in status epilepticus and their […]
In August 2019, the INTENCIVE Project is launched, financed by the Interreg Europe program, whose main objective is to improve and implement electronic health programs and policies aimed at patients and healthcare professionals. Partners from five countries including the Southern Ostrobothnia Regional Council (Finland), the Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences (Finland), the Pannon Business Network […]
P. aeruginosa is a bacterium that produces several life-threatening infections, especially in immunosuppressed patients, with cancer, burns, and cystic fibrosis, and is also one of the main causes of nosocomial infections. Coupled with the intrinsic resistance of this bacterium that makes it one of the most feared human pathogens, is its metabolic versatility and that […]
The journal Science has published the results of an international investigation that represents an important advance in the degree of knowledge about the genetic map that determines the structure of the key regions of the human cerebral cortex. These advances allow us to advance in knowing how genetic variability marks differences in the brain structure […]

The Cell Cycle, Determining Stem Cells and Cancer research group of the Valdecilla Health Research Institute (IDIVAL), led by Dr. Alberto Gandarillas, has just published a paper that includes the molecular regulation that makes it possible for epithelial cells such as skin epidermis do not die against continuous carcinogens such as sunlight. This discovery has […]
