Conversely, women tolerate it better than men, according to a multicenter study led by Hospital del Mar and its research institute, published in the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia. The study analyzed the outcomes of more than 200 people who underwent a thoracotomy, a type of open surgery that requires separating the ribs to reach the lungs. The differences between men and women are not due to physiological or genetic factors but to a worse initial situation for women regarding their quality of life prior to surgery. The researchers highlight the need to consider this and introduce the idea of addressing psychological components before surgery as part of a personalized approach to pain management.

The project, involving the Hospital del Mar Research Institute alongside VHIO, coordinated by INCLIVA and funded by the Spanish Association Against Cancer, studies the mechanisms of tumor cell resistance to therapy in order to prevent relapses and improve patient survival. The results suggest the development of a relapse prediction system using AI and the use of liquid biopsy to identify and characterize high-risk patients, which will allow for the development of more personalized strategies.

A study conducted by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, using data from the Girona Heart Registry (REGICOR), reveals that people who follow healthy diets have a lower risk of experiencing depression symptoms or receiving a depression diagnosis. In fact, improving adherence to a healthy diet, such as the Mediterranean diet, reduces the risk of depression by 16%. The authors of the study suggest that recommendations aimed at improving diet could serve as a non-pharmacological complement in the treatment of depressive disorders.
