First report of peach-associated luteovirus (PaLV) infecting almond trees () in Spain.

Peach-associated luteovirus (PaLV) belongs to the genus Luteovirus, family Tombusviridae. To date, PaLV has only been reported in peach (Prunus persica) and its presence detected in the Republic of Georgia (Wu et al., 2017), China (Zhou et al.

Humidified Noninvasive Ventilation versus High-Flow Therapy to Prevent Reintubation in Obese Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: The optimal strategy to prevent reintubation in obese patients remains uncertain. We aimed to determine whether noninvasive ventilation (NIV) with active humidification is superior to high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in preventing reintubation in obese patients at intermediate risk.

Methods: Randomized controlled trial in two intensive care units in Spain (June 2020‒June 2021).

Playing catching up: Proceedings of the 1 Spanish conference on genomic medicine.

On May 23-24, 2024, the 1 Spanish Conference on Genomic Medicine convened in Madrid, Spain. An international and multidisciplinary group of experts gathered to discuss the current state and prospects of genomic medicine in the Spanish-speaking world. There were 278 attendees from Latin America, US, UK, Germany, and Spain, and the topics covered included rare diseases, genome medicine in national health systems (NHSs), artificial intelligence, and commercial development ventures.

First European Lytic Bacteriophage Cocktails Effective in the Host: Characterization and Prospects for Fire Blight Biocontrol.

Fire blight, caused by the plant-pathogenic bacterium , is a highly contagious and difficult-to-control disease due to its efficient dissemination and survival and the scarcity of effective control methods. Copper and antibiotics are the most used treatments but pose environmental and human health risks. Bacteriophages (phages) constitute an ecological, safe, and sustainable fire blight control alternative.

Recovery following discharge from intensive care: What do patients think is helpful and what services are missing?

Background: Recovery following critical illness is complex due to the many challenges patients face which influence their long-term outcomes. We explored patients' views about facilitators of recovery after critical illness which could be used to inform the components and timing of specific rehabilitation interventions.

Aims: To explore the views of patients after discharge from an intensive care unit (ICU) about their recovery and factors that facilitated recovery, and to determine additional services that patients felt were missing during their recovery.
