OPENING CEREMONY

The opening ceremony will take place on Thursday, May 19 at Caixa Forum. In this event will participate the following persons: Dr. Joan Miquel Nolla Solé, President of the Local Organizing Committee of the XLII National Congress; Dr. Jaume Padrós Selma, President of the Official Col.legi of Metges of Barcelona; Dr Francesc Cardellach Lopez, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine (University of Barcelona); and Dr. José Vicente Moreno Muelas, President of the Spanish Society of Rheumatology.

On this occasion, we have chosen to offer a talk of great applicability and interest, based on a current concept as is the mindfullness in Medicine. After a brief intervention of personalities, the introducer technique Mindfulness in Spain, Dr. Andres Martin Ahasuerus, teach us the keys on this discipline and discuss stress management and empathy with the patient. Thanks to his paper -under the title “Mindfulness: training for effective and happy mind” · -aprenderemos practical tools and explain how the processes of care, connection and regulating the mind works and how, with training, can cultivate healthier mind.

Share together, the end of the act, a dinner cocktail from the terrace of CaixaForum with the Montjuic mountain to the bottom and located in the old textile factory Casaramona, jewel of industrial modernism. More information here.

Young forever?

Scientists discover how to keep the body young despite age

Biomedical Research building Barcelona

 

Muscles have a cleaning system that eliminates waste and preventing degenerate over the years, as scientists have discovered the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) today presented its findings in the journal Nature.

When this cleaning system stops working properly, the muscles go into senescence. Then, stem cells lose the ability to regenerate tissue and muscle is weakened. It’s something that happens gradually from the fifth decade of life and that is observed extreme way elderly people who forces them fail.

But when the cleaning system is restored, as have researchers with drugs, muscle tissue can regenerate again and retrieves the lost vigor. So far the experiments have been performed in mice and in human cells in the laboratory.

Since the molecules involved in the cleaning system of muscle cells are the same in mice and in human body, “it should be possible to restore the regenerative capacity and muscle strength also in people,” says Pura Muñoz-Cánoves, ICREA researcher at UPF who led the work.

In fact, there are already approved drugs on the market that, in research, have shown ability to rejuvenate muscle tissue. Specifically, the team has experienced UPF rapamycin (an immunosuppressant which is mainly used to prevent organ rejection after a transplant) and Trolox (a similar antioxidant vitamin E).

Some pharmaceutical companies have also developing drugs that act on the mechanism identified in muscle regeneration research. Looking ahead, based on the results reported in Nature, they could develop new drugs that maximize the ability of tissue regeneration and minimize side effects.

The first candidate to receive the rejuvenating treatment would be elderly people weakened by sarcopenia, ie the loss of muscle mass, Muñoz-Cánoves reports. It could also be effective in adults weakened by cachexia, which is a tissue atrophy associated with diseases such as cancer, tuberculosis or AIDS. Or it could be useful to accelerate the healing of muscle injuries in athletes, since healing time depends on the ability of muscle regeneration, which in turn depends on efficient removal of waste from cells.

The cleaning system, technically called autophagy, “is like a vacuum,” says Muñoz-Cánoves. Removes components of cells stop functioning properly and become toxic. These components range from individual molecules (free radicals or damaged proteins) to whole organelles (such as mitochondria or ribosomes).

Since all organs and tissues of the human body depend on autophagy, Muñoz-Cánoves believes that the same system could be key to slow aging in other organs, and it could be useful to increase their regenerative capacity and rejuvenate. “I think it must be so because every house has to be cleaned, and autophagy is a very fundamental cleaning mechanism in living organisms,” says the researcher. But he warns that “we have not proven that our research has been limited to muscle tissue.”

In muscle, equipment UPF autophagy has been shown to maintain the ability of stem cells to regenerate tissue. And when autophagy no longer efficient and begin to accumulate waste, stem cells enter senescence and lose their regenerative capacity.

“We were surprised to discover this,” says Muñoz-Cánoves. “When you stop to think about it, it makes sense, because the stem cells need to break free of waste accumulate every day to work properly.” But despite intensive research in the last decade on the biology of aging, “this is the first time a relationship between declining and aging autophagy in mammalian tissue is observed.”

The work reported in Nature, whose first author Laura Garcia-Prat, gives meaning to research published earlier longevity. It was noted in particular that rapamycin prolongs life in various species, including mammals such as mice, but had not explained why. They it was also observed that metformin seems to slow aging in people who take it for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, to the point that there is a clinical trial underway to evaluate its potential to extend life.

Both rapamycin and metformin act on molecules that regulate autophagy and have now been shown to be essential to maintain the capacity to regenerate muscles. “Although senescence due to aging is often seen as an inevitable and irremediable process, we demonstrate that the internal clock of aging stem cells can be manipulated with drugs,” the researchers conclude in Nature UPF.

The best specialists in gastrointestinal medicine meet in Barcelona

From 24th to 28th October is celebrated the Fira Barcelona UEG Week, the most important European conference on gastroenterology

UEG Week Barcelona

The UEG Week was born in Barcelona in 1992 and now involves more than 14,000 professionals worldwide. This conference will be held at Fira Barcelona last week of October we expose the latest advances in clinical management and the best research in gastrointestinal infections and liver disease. The protagonists of this meeting are physicians and researchers since the program revolves around gastroenterology.

This week also held symposiums and debates on gastroenterology and hepatology, through which you can discover from basic science to clinical practice guidelines. Precisely in this regard presents this year a new symposium related to clinical practice guidelines in gastroenterology and hepatology. In the complex there will be a space where there will be interactive sessions with theoretical presentations and intensive discussions on topics that generate the most controversy.

UEG leader in digestive diseases

The United European Gastroenterology is a non-profit organization that large European companies are involved and working around digestive diseases. Currently, the organization brings together nearly 22,000 professionals & specialists working in various related fields such as medicine, surgery and pediatrics.
