Article Synopsis
- - The Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCCs) Electronic Care Plan project seeks to create standardized care planning data specifically for individuals dealing with long COVID, using the HL7 FHIR standard to model data elements.
- - A Technical Expert Panel (TEP) identified essential data points for long COVID management and created electronic exchange standards through a consensus-driven process.
- - Establishing these data standards not only improves the collection of long COVID-related information but also supports various health initiatives, helping deliver more effective care and enhance patient outcomes.
Background: Silicosis is an occupational respiratory disease linked to silica dust inhalation. The main driver was traditional coal mining, but in recent decades, new sources of exposure have emerged. Our aim in this study was to assess the temporal and spatial distribution of mortality due to this disease over a 22-year period in Spain.

- The study evaluates how the use of transparent capsules in dry powder inhalers influences the amount of medication inhaled by patients with chronic airway diseases.
- Researchers compared the weight of capsules before and after inhalation in 91 patients, finding that transparent capsules resulted in a significant weight decrease (30.1%) compared to opaque ones (8.6%).
- The findings highlight the importance of ensuring patients use proper inhalation techniques to maximize medication delivery.
Sourdough bread enriched with soluble fiber (by in-situ exopolysaccharides production) and insoluble fiber (by gazpacho by-products addition) showed prebiotic effects an in vitro dynamic colonic fermentation performance with obese volunteer's microbiota. Bifidobacterium population was maintained whereas Lactobacillus increased throughout the colonic sections. Conversely, Enterobacteriaceae and Clostridium groups clearly decreased.

Methods: 3020 patients with thyroid nodules underwent cytological evaluation during three periods (2006-2008, 2012-2014, 2017-2019). Distribution of diagnostic cytologies, risk of malignancy, diagnostic performance indices of FNA, and cytologic-histologic correlation in indeterminate cytologies were analyzed.
