Background: Survival of victims of out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest (CA) is related to the time and quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).1 Considering that most CAs occur outside the hospital setting, it is evident that the early recognition of this condition is the cornerstone of the chain of survival. Current literature on the theme is still scarce.

Methods: This multicentre retrospective study conducted in 15 Spanish hospitals included data from the first MRSA-BSIs of adult patients between January 2019 and December 2022.
Article Synopsis
- A significant number of patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) show indeterminate results from vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE), prompting the need for better diagnostic methods for significant fibrosis.
- A large study, involving 1196 MASLD patients from various centers, developed an algorithm that used liver stiffness measurements (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameters (CAP) to accurately identify significant fibrosis.
- The algorithm demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing significant fibrosis, potentially helping to identify treatment candidates for MASLD by re-allocating patients based on their risk levels.
Emotional Eating is eating in response to negative emotional states, such as boredom, loneliness, or anxiety. For some young people, both food and alcohol are a source of pleasure in their social life. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022-23 in the Health Sciences Faculty.

Under these conditions, the reaction produces a conformational mixture of and structural conformers, which were separated and characterized by chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. The antioxidant activity of both conformers was measured by using the DPPH assay, through which it was observed that the conformer showed greater antioxidant activity (IC = 47.
