The guide promotes the adoption and acceptance of language that fosters visibility, equality, and representation of all people in the field of health research and aims to avoid situations where language may contain lexicon or forms that invisibilize or discriminate against people, or that reproduce traditional stereotypes. It offers practical recommendations for inclusive language with a gender perspective for its oral, written, and visual forms.

Gastric bypass is more effective than the other common approach, vertical sleeve gastrectomy, in reducing LDL cholesterol levels. This is a common comorbidity in patients undergoing this type of surgery and a primary agent causing atherosclerosis. This is revealed in a study by the Bariatric Surgery Unit at Hospital del Mar, published in the journal Cardiovascular Diabetology. The study's authors argue that this fact should be considered when deciding which technique to use for each patient.

A scientific team led by Dr Anna Bigas, from the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and the Josep Carreras Institute, has described the role of the IκBα protein in the differentiation process of haematopoietic cells. In the absence of this protein, the stem cells enter quiescence, acquire a dormant state and maintain their potential, which may allow them to be transplanted for therapeutic uses in leukaemia or blood diseases of genetic origin. This is an important step towards being able to generate these types of cells in the lab, preventing them from differentiating and turning into other cells too early.

An international study led by the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute has demonstrated, for the first time, the role of two proteins in the activation and deactivation of the system through which drugs act against schizophrenia symptoms. These two proteins are potential targets for developing new drugs aimed at specific symptoms of the disease, avoiding the side effects of current treatments. The study analyzed how certain molecules act on a serotonin cell receptor, which could allow for differentiated effects on schizophrenia symptoms without affecting other brain processes.

From March 8 to June 28, hundreds of people will witness firsthand the advancements in scientific knowledge about various diseases, thanks to the drive of solidarity, in a new cycle of visits to research centers with projects funded by the La Marató de TV3 Foundation. At the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, we are participating in this initiative by organizing four visits where different projects funded by the 2021 Mental Health Marathon will be explained. On May 27 and 28, we will discuss the project led by Dr. Gabriel Santpere, who, together with Dr. Patricia Robledo, proposes a highly innovative methodology to predict the risk of developing schizophrenia. This will be done by combining information from nasal cavity neurons (olfactory neuroepithelium), genetics, and brain imaging from a group of people with and without symptoms of the disease. Registrations for the visits are free and can be made on this page:
