The goal of this clinical trial is to study how physical exercise works when applied to patients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The main questions it aims to answer are:
What are the antiinflammatory and oxidative stress and neural mechanisms involved in the antidepressant effects of exercise?
How effective is a physical exercise program in MDD patients in real-life conditions?
The experimental group will receive an exercise intervention as an add-on to their usual treatment (antidepressant treatment prescribed by the attending specialist). Researchers will compare to a control group, which will only receive standard treatment (antidepressant treatment prescribed by the attending specialist) and will be instructed to not change their usual physical activity. The aim is to see if a physical exercise intervention would induce a significant improvement in depressive symptoms and which mechanisms are responsible for this result.

Evaluate the safety and tolerability of combined oral thiamine with biotin therapy in patients with Huntington´s disease in mild to moderate stages and it is intended to evaluate the biological effect of the treatment in the central nervous system of these patients using as the main biomarker the increase in the level of thiamine monophosphate (TMP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of these patients with Huntington Disease (HD) during a follow-up period of one year.
Our main hypothesis is that combined thiamine-biotin oral therapy is a secure and well-tolerated treatment, potentially capable of modifying the disease course or avoiding the progression of symptoms in early-stages HD patients

The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection has led to the emergence of diffuse and heterogeneous persistent symptoms in addition to the well-known acute symptoms, which have come to be referred to as persistent COVID. In particular, one of the frequent complaints of patients with a previous diagnosis of COVID is impaired cognitive ability.
Various cognitive rehabilitation programmes have benefited from incorporating the methodology of so-called "serious games" are designed to train or change behaviour while entertaining players. The design of the online rehabilitation programme (COPERIA-COG) took into account the principles of neuropsychological rehabilitation (neuropsychological pre-assessment, operational goal setting, task prioritisation and continuous feedback system) and combined different individual techniques, such as restitution and compensation. Patients treated with COPERIA-COG will show neuropsychological improvements in verbal memory compared to the waiting list group.
The main objective is to identify differences in long-term memory in patients treated with COPERIA-COG vs. patients on the waiting list. For this purpose, both groups will be evaluated through RAVLT, taking the long-term memory subtest as a reference, comparing the results before and after the active group performs the online training with COPERIA-COG.
The COPERIA platform is a cloud platform that provides a range of ICT tools for monitoring and aiding the recovery of patients with persistent COVID. To achieve this goal, the platform will store patient data to which Artificial Intelligence techniques will be applied to perform an assessment of the affected person.
