The agreement reached between the company and the http://bit.ly/1FFaLMt Barcelona PID Foundation was to donate euros 1 for each view.In this sense, Dr. Pedro Soler, specialist of the http://bit.ly/1UeWCvi Infectious Pathology and Paediatric Immunodeficiencies Unit (UPIIP) at Vall d'Hebron, said that "the finds obtained with this campaign of the music video Bombolles de colors will provide a grant to coordinate research in children with primary immunodeficiencies,"and therefore "carry out studies aimed at improving the quality of life of these patients and their families."Bombolles de colors (Coloured bubbles, in English), is a song especially written and dedicated to the Barcelona PID Foundation. Part of the band's fourth album, A prop, published by record http://bit.ly/1YuLr5Y Temps Record, which you can find in http://bit.ly/1UQAgC6 Spotify. The music video counts with several personalities from the world of entertainment, culture and sport, as Martina Klein, àlex Corretja, Anna Tarrés, Pep Bou, Mònica Green, Joan Lluís Bozzo, the FC Barcelona players Juan Cámara and Sergi Samper, students of the school Sant Gervasi Nen Jesús and children with PID. Working together to advance research in PIDBombolles de colors, opens a new way for collaboration between entities that form the Vall d'Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus, civil society and private enterprise. Through the initiative of an organization such as Barcelona PID Foundation and supported by the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital and VHIR, it has been possible to implement the project, with the aim of raising funds for research in the field of primary immunodeficiencies, a group of more than 250 rare diseases affecting one in every 2,000 babies born alive in Catalonia. As emphasized by Dr. Soler, "the combined efforts of public research centres and private foundations involved in this field, such as Barcelona PID Foundation, is essential to achieve excellence in research and its results to affect patients directly." Leading patient care with PIDVall d'Hebron, through the Unit of Infectious Pathology and Paediatrics Immunodeficiencies (UPIIP), a leader in the care of paediatric patients affected by these diseases, with more than 700 patients (410 of them paediatric) diagnosed in Catalonia and in the country. In fact, UPIIP diagnosed 70% of PID detected in Catalonia. In addition, its work with the http://bit.ly/1EbAqNZ Immunology Service, in collaboration with the Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Unit of the http://bit.ly/oncologia_ped Paediatric Oncology and Haematology Service, among other services, make the Hospital a benchmark in Europe. In addition, as a differentiating factor compared to other centres, it has a program of transition from paediatric patients in adult units in the transversal program of minority diseases. Research in immunodeficienciesVHIR investigates these diseases at the research group of infection in immunocompromised paediatric patients. Led by Dr. Pere Soler, it is formed mainly by paediatricians of the Paediatric Infectious Disease and Immunodeficiencies Unit, created in 1996 as a unit of Paediatric Infectious Diseases and established in 2005 as a consultation service of nosocomial and opportunistic infections in immunocompromised paediatric patients. This unit is a pioneer in this field and the Master in Paediatric Infectious Diseases is the first in Europe in this discipline. The research focuses mainly on viral infections, fungal and bacterial infections of immunocompromised paediatric patients, also reflected both in daily clinical practice guidelines as recommended by the European and national institutions over the next five to ten years.They also study these diseases at the Immunology group, led by Dr. Ricardo Pujol. Both groups have a direct link with the Paediatric Infectious Disease Unit of HUVH that the hospital has made a benchmark in this area, with about 700 diagnosed patients.One member of the group of Immunology, Dr. Roger Colobran, is one of the components of the band Boxets, author of the song 'Bombolles de colors'.
