Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between physical fitness and telomere length (TL) in youth with type 1 diabetes, noting that higher fitness levels may influence TL positively.
- Involving 83 participants aged 6-18, the research assessed fitness through various tests like spirometry and dynamometry, while TL was measured using advanced genetic techniques.
- Findings suggest that stronger muscle strength and overall fitness correlate with longer TL, indicating potential benefits of strength training for this demographic, although no lasting associations were found after one year.
Allergic contact dermatitis to chlorhexidine in children.
Allergol Immunopathol (Madr)
November 2024
Background: Hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine is rare in children. The usefulness of different diagnostic tests for allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is unknown.
Objective: We aim to describe a case series of children with hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine and to compare the results of different diagnostic tests.
Recently, an association between dysbiosis of the gut microbiota (GMB) and the development of several diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), has been proposed. Dysbiosis involves changes in microbial diversity influenced by environmental factors, like diet or lifestyle. In this study, we investigated the role of GMB parameters in Spanish AD patients, assessing the impact of adherence to the Mediterranean lifestyle (ML), as well as to characterize these parameters in relation to neuropsychological, neuropsychiatric, emotional, and functionality parameters.

J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol
December 2024
Background: Allergic disease affects up to 40% of the adult population worldwide. This percentage is increasing as a result of environmental changes related to global warming.
Methods: We undertook a systematic review of the literature to identify and evaluate current evidence on the impact of climate change-related environmental factors on allergen production and the epidemiology and severity of allergic diseases.
During durst storms, also biological material is transported from arid areas such as the Sahara Desert. In the present work, rain samples containing significant amounts of mineral dust have been collected in Granada during different red rain episodes. Biological features (bacteria, biofilm, pollen grain and fungal spore) as well as size-particle distribution and mineralogical composition were studied by SEM.
