Experts warn on the infestation of lice in camps summer.

August is the month in which more pediculicides dispense.

-pediatricians recommend reporting the policy of the camp with respect to the treatment and prevention of head lice

Madrid, August of 2011- children’s summer camps could become a focus of infestation of lice is dragged until the beginning of the school year, as he warns Pediculosis information center. August is made, the month more pediculicides products provided in the pharmacy.

Lice can affect both adults and children, but it is between 3 and 11 years old when cases occur, about 6%, due to their habits of game. “ Summer camps the children spend too much time together playing and sleeping and tend to share hats, towels, pillows and even clamps for hair, in the case of girls. The risk of infection is high if preventive measures are not taken ”, warns Dr. Aurora war, President of the society of Dermatology of the autonomous community of Madrid and member of the center of Pediculosis information.

The revision of the heads of children with a liendrera has proved to be a more effective method that mere visual observation to detect these insects, says Dr. war. If they are lice should be treated with shampoos and lotions pediculicides on sale in pharmacies. “ Garments with which the person concerned has been in contact should wash more than 50 degrees and children and adults in the environment should be treated with a protective product, which repela lice and not be unpleasant for children, because that influences the adherence ”, adds.

for his part, Dr. José Luis Bonal, President of the Spanish society of Pediatric Extrahospitalaria and primary care (SEPEAP), warns parents that if their child has lice or is in an environment with lice “ report on the policy of the camp on the pediculosis and which is not alarmed. Do not need to take his son’s camp, that own monitors can treat children infested with pediculicides (except for allergies to the components of the products to be used) and to protect the rest without any ”.

Pediculosis information centre is an initiative of the SEPEAP in collaboration with Filvit, which has a web of information and consultations.

Grapes protects radiation ultraviolet.

-some compounds in the grape helps skin cells to protect against ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, according to a study by researchers at the University of Barcelona and CSIC. The work supports the use of grapes or its derivatives in the protective solar

Spain, August of 2011- the primary environmental cause of skin diseases are the solar ultraviolet (UV) rays, which cause cancer of the skin, burns and solar erythema and premature aging of the dermis and epidermis. Now, a Spanish study has proven that some substances in grapes can reduce cell damage in the skin exposed to the radiation.

UV radiation acting on the skin activating ‘ reactive oxygen species ’ (ERO). These compounds in turn oxidized macromolecules such as DNA and lipids, and shoot certain reactions and enzymes (JNK and p38MAPK) to induce cell death.

substances from grapes can reduce cell damage in the skin exposed to the radiation solar.

A group of scientists from the University of Barcelona and CSIC have shown that some substances Polyphenolic extracted from the grape (flavanoles) can reduce the formation of the ERO in human epidermal cells that has been exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UVA) long-wave and a half (UVB). The study, conducted in vitro in the laboratory, is published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Uva sunscreen

“ These Polyphenolic fractions inhibit the generation of the ERO, and therefore also the consequent activation of enzymes JNK and p38, so exert a protective effect against ultraviolet radiation from the Sun ”, stresses to SINC Marta Cascante, biochemistry of the University of Barcelona and Director of the work.

Researchers have detected the ability the flavanoles sunblock is greater when they present a greater degree of polymerization and galoización (training of Gallic acid compounds).

The study points out that these results “ encouraging ” should take them into account the clinical pharmacology who works with extracts Polyphenolic of vegetable origin for the development of new agents of cutaneous photoprotection.

Currently already sold cosmetics and medications with compounds of grape, but so far it is not well known how acting on cells. “ This work supports the use of these products to protect the skin from damage and cell death caused by solar radiation, in addition to contribute knowledge about its mechanism of action ”, concludes Cascante.

genetically modified stem cells could reduce the effects of chemotherapy.


Spain, 2011-July the side effects of chemotherapy to treat cancer are many and various. One of them is that can affect the bone marrow cells causing low blood counts, who brings get an increase in the risk of infections, the appearance of easy bruising or bleeding easily, and a feeling of tiredness.

researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, in United States, have found a possible way to reduce these effects precisely follow you toxic. The trial has been to extract in patients with brain tumors, stem cells of the spinal cord to modify them with a gene resistant to this treatment.

the authors of the study explained that patients received blood stem cells genetically modified safely lasted more than one year without causing any harmful effect.

from IVIDA, the Bank of stem cells from the IVI group recall the potential of stem cells to treat and cure diseases as well as be a source of research to help cope with side effects of some treatments cancer.



about IVIDA.

IVIDA is the Bank of lVI umbilical cord leading European in reproductive medicine with 22 clinics and presence in 8 countries. IVIDA offers a comprehensive service for preservation of umbilical cord, giving families retain the sample of the newborn in public bank located at the headquarters in Madrid or in the private bank located at the headquarters in Lisbon. IVI, with more than 20 years in the service of the reproduction, IVIDA patients ensures absolute control of the entire process, from the collection of the sample to the freezing of the same.

Andalusian researchers will develop a type of leukemia cell model child.

the project will allow knowing the behavior of this disease that affects children under the age of six months and has a very low survival. index

Andalusia, 2011-July A research group belonging to the Health Department of the Board of Andalusia and led by Dr. Pablo Menéndez, Coordinator of the area of cells BioBank Andalusia mother, carried out a research project for the development of cellular models designed to decipher the origin and the pathogenesis of linflobástica in infant leukemia.

The work to be held in Granada, has been selected by the Spanish Association against cancer (aecc) for the endowment of one of only two aid granted by the institution at the national level to research on childhood cancer projects. Thus, details have been known in the morning on Monday during the signing of a cooperation agreement between the Association and Foundation public Andalusian progress and health as a central body for support and management of the research of the Ministry of health.

The signing of the Convention, which sets out the amount of 150,000 euros to the project and distributed in three annual instalments, has counted with the presence of the general director of quality, research and management of the knowledge of the Ministry of health, Carmen Cortes; the managing director of the Andalusian progress public foundation and health, Juan Jesus banner; the principal investigator of the project, Pablo Menendez; and the President of the Spanish Association against cancer, Isabel Oriol.

They all agreed on the relevance of a project of this nature and the importance of financial support from various sources of funding and collaborations and ties of cooperation between different entities.

A disease of poor prognosis

The project funded, according to detailed research, is based on a type of leukemia, specifically, an acute lymphoblastic leukaemia that affects children under the age of six months and that, unfortunately, “ has a prognosis fatal: in five years, 72% of patients died, so the survival rate is very low, 28% ”.

The work focuses on the development of cellular models aimed at deciphering the cellular origin and pathogenesis of this leukemia now that, in the words of Menéndez, “ is necessary that we have a model of this disease to study in the laboratory, imitate, and, therefore, develop some therapeutic approaches ”. Because the models developed in mice reproduce latency or the phenotype of the disease.

In this sense, the research group will work in the generation of two cellular models for this disease: one with human embryonic stem cells and other stem cells reprogrammed (iPS), with which can analyze the behavior of this leukemia and possible therapeutic ways from different approaches. Thus, the principal investigator of the project emphasised that both models allow a valuable epidemiological approach to the study of this disease, as “ know that it generates in the uterus of the mother and the fetus develops leukemia because it mutates the MLL gene due to the intake of the mother of actors genotoxic (those that damage the DNA and may cause mutations) ”. For the researchers is essential to know what should be avoided the mother to disease did not reach the child.

The project, called Infant MLL-BF4 + pro-B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: towards the elucidation of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying MLL-BF4-mediated transformation in human stem cells, with the collaboration of different centers in the country: the Hospital Virgen del Rocío of Sevilla, the Hospital Universitario Niño Jesus of the CNIO, Madrid, the University Institute of Oncology of the Principality of Asturias (IUOPA).

The first Andalusian award-winning project

The Spanish Association against cancer annually Announces grants for research projects on cancer in patterns of adult and child and, with the choice of this project is the first time awarding to a research group in the autonomous community. In total, and according to the Association, to the form of childhood cancer was presented around around 30 projects.

Andalusia currently has two active aid in collaboration with the national entity; on the one hand, the work already referenced and, on the other hand, a contract postdoctoral fellow with an Andalusian investigator, René Rodríguez, also attached to the group led by Dr. Pablo Menendez for the development of various research projects related to cancer that started in 2009.

The aecc promotes cancer research through its scientific foundation, launched in 1971 in order to manage all the applications received for the call for aid to research aimed at the promotion of scientific practice in this field.
