Bellvitge co-leads an international trial that can change the treatment of heart failure

Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, this trial has confirmed the benefits of a drug, finerenone, in an important segment of heart failure cases. The study included more than 6,000 patients from 50 countries and, in Spain it has been coordinated by IDIBELL and Bellvitge Hospital.

Researchers describe a cellular map of the pancreas that will help design better treatments against pancreatic cancer and diabetes

Researchers from IDIBELL and the UB create a cell-by-cell map of the pancreas ducts and identify 15 new cell populations in the pancreas. THe results will provide a better understanding of how pancreatic cancer develops and will help find treatments for diabetes.

Bellvitge researchers evaluate the use of multiplex real-time PCR in pneumonia to reduce the use of antibiotics

According to the study published in Nature Communications, the use of multiple quantitative PCR increased etiological diagnoses and reduced the time needed to achieve them, decreasing too the time to conversion from intravenous to oral treatment, although no reduction in antibiotic consumption was observed.

A study describes how insulinomas, a rare type of pancreatic beta cell tumour, form

The cause is a change in the epigenetic pattern of the beta cells of the pancreas, which overexpress oncogenes and genes related to insulin production, thus altering their functioning.

A study by IDIBELL and ICO proves the advantages of administering chemotherapy before surgery in stage II and III breast cancer

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer facilitates surgery and offers prognostic value. The 10-year survival rate is 84%, and 96% of patients who have a complete response to chemotherapy do not metastasize.
