Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases in Pediatrics at Hospital Virgen Del Mar
Research at this site includes nutritional and metabolic diseases, with a strong focus on cardiovascular risk in people who have not previously had a heart attack or stroke. The trials are designed to evaluate whether a new treatment can help reduce major heart and brain-related events and improve long-term protection for patients at elevated risk.
- High cardiovascular risk without prior myocardial infarction or stroke
- Coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke
- Assessment of treatment effectiveness for preventing serious vascular events
This work reflects an interest in improving outcomes for patients who need better prevention strategies, especially in the setting of optimized lipid-lowering care.
Bacterial Infections and Mycoses research in Almeria
The site is also active in bacterial infections, particularly meningococcal disease. These studies focus on evaluating vaccine safety, tolerability, and immune response, with the goal of strengthening protection against several meningococcal serogroups and supporting better prevention of invasive infection.
- Meningococcal infections
- Safety and reactogenicity of meningococcal vaccines
- Immune response against serogroups A, C, W, Y, and B
At Hospital Virgen Del Mar, this area of research supports the development and comparison of vaccine options that may improve public health protection against serious bacterial disease.
