El delirio en los pacientes críticos es una condición médica que afecta tanto a los adultos como a los niños y tiene graves consecuencias para ambas poblaciones, como la prolongación de la estancia hospitalaria, el alto riesgo de muerte, el deterioro cognitivo a largo plazo, así como el aumento de los costes sanitarios. En la población pediátrica, la principal complicación de esta condición radica en su difícil reconocimiento dado que puede presentarse a edades muy tempranas, incluso en lactantes, cuando sus signos y síntomas pueden confundirse o solaparse con otras patologías como el síndrome de abstinencia. En consecuencia, las herramientas de diagnóstico pueden ser más difíciles de aplicar y utilizar en estos casos.
Los estudios sobre el delirio en niños fueron escasos hasta 2011, cuando se desarrolló la primera escala diseñada específicamente para el seguimiento de pacientes en unidades de cuidados intensivos pediátricos. Gracias a esta escala, el número de casos de delirio en niños menores de 5 años en estado crítico aumentó significativamente, lo que a su vez, hizo que los pediatras se interesaran más por el estudio de esta importante patología.

The research activity has focused on 3 general lines: 1) pediatric hepatology, mainly focused on viral and autoimmune hepatitis; 2) oxidative stress, both at experimental and clinical level, also studying the effect of various foods typical of the Mediterranean diet that can counteract its effect; 3) childhood obesity, evaluating the pathogenic role of oxidative stress in it and mainly in the production of comorbidities.

Chagas disease is a chronic, systemic, vector-borne parasitic disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, which is strongly linked to socioeconomic and cultural deficits and is considered a neglected disease. It is an endemic pathology in 21 countries of the Americas, although migrations of infected people can take it to non-endemic countries of the Americas and the world.
The main mechanism of transmission is vectorial, by hemiptera (bedbugs), of the Subfamily Triatominae (with hematophagous feeding). They infect people exposed to their bites, by depositing their infected feces in skin wounds or on mucous membranes. Other modes of transmission are transfusion, congenital, organ transplantation or oral. Although mortality has decreased significantly, the disease can cause irreversible and chronic consequences in the heart, digestive and nervous systems.
Triatomine bugs can infect rodents, marsupials and other wild mammalian animals. These triatomine bugs can also infect domestic animals such as dogs and cats, and carry T. cruzi (disease agent) into human dwellings.
