Detecting occult hemorrhage bleeding using a new protocol called the UFOH protocol: Ultrasound Focused Occult Hemorrhage.

Point-of-care abdominal ultrasound (US) has emerged as a powerful tool for clinicians and is becoming a routine bedside tool to rapidly diagnose, manage hemodynamics, monitor fluid status, and guide procedures in emergency and critical care. Extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma (eFAST), is commonly used to detect free intraperitoneal blood in the trauma setting and may also be an option in non-trauma patients. However, it has significant limitations for detecting gastrointestinal or retroperitoneal bleeding.

Efficacy of skin-to-skin contact between mother and infant on maternal outcomes during the third stage of labour: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Postpartum haemorrhage is a preventable cause of maternal mortality that commonly occurs during the third stage of labour. Skin-to-skin contact is an intervention that can support the physiological processes of labour by increasing oxytocin levels, which can accelerate placental expulsion and enhance uterine contractions, thereby contributing to the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage.

Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of skin-to-skin contact on key maternal variables during the third stage of labour, including the duration of this stage, placental integrity, the need for manual placental extraction, the administration of therapeutic uterotonics, and the position of the uterine fundus.

[Good practices in epidemiological surveillance for the sustainability of measles, rubella, and congenital rubella syndrome elimination in El Salvador, 2019-2023Boas práticas de vigilância epidemiológica para a sustentabilidade da eliminação do sarampo, da rubéola e da síndrome da rubéola congênita em El Salvador, 2019-2023].

Objective: Describe good practices in epidemiological surveillance implemented in El Salvador between 2019 and 2023 to sustain the elimination of measles, rubella, and congenital rubella syndrome.

Methods: Special descriptive report on the implementation of good epidemiological and laboratory surveillance practices for measles, rubella, and congenital rubella syndrome from 2019 to 2023.

Results: During the period 2019 to 2023, El Salvador reported no confirmed cases of measles, rubella, or congenital rubella syndrome.

Meeting 24-hour movement guidelines and mortality risk in older adults: cross-sectional and longitudinal pooled analysis in the Seniors-ENRICA cohorts.

Background: We assessed the association of adherence to the guidelines and subsequent changes over time in adherence with all-cause mortality.

Methods: We used data from 3518 and 3273 older adults, aged 60-96 years at baseline, from Seniors-ENRICA-1 and 2 cohorts, respectively. Adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines was defined as ≥150 minutes/week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behavior (SB) ≤8 hours/day (including ≤3 hours/day of recreational screen time), and 7-9 hours/day of sleep if aged 18-64y or 7-8 hours/day if aged ≥65y.

Lung cancer survival trends and prognostic factors: A 26-year population-based study in Girona Province, Spain.

Background: Lung cancer (LC) is Europe's primary cause of cancer-related mortality largely due to its historically low survival rates. The aim of this study was to analyze 26-year survival trends in the province of Girona, Spain, and to identify key prognostic factors.

Methods: Population-based study of LC cases collected between 1994 and 2019, with follow-up until December 31, 2021.

Instrument to evaluate the perception of abuse and/or disrespectful treatment during childbirth: A validation study.

Aim: To design and validate a tool to assess a woman's perception of whether she has experienced a situation of abuse or disrespect during childbirth attendance: "Childbirth Abuse and Respect Evaluation-Maternal Questionnaire" (CARE-MQ).

Methods: Multidisciplinary panel of experts (gynecologists, midwives, mothers) participated in creating CARE-MQ. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 901 Spanish women who had given birth between 1 and 3 months before to determine psychometric characteristics.

Actual and perceived motor competence in children with motor coordination difficulties: Effect of a movement-based intervention.

Background: The present study analyses the effect of a Movement-Based Intervention to improve Actual and Perceived Motor Competence in children with probable Developmental Coordination Disorder aged four and six years.

Methods And Procedures: A longitudinal pre-experimental study was designed with measurements conducted at pre-test, post-test and follow-up (after 5 months without intervention). The group, composed of children with probable Developmental Coordination Disorder or low motor competence, consisted of 57 participants, and the duration of a Movement-Based Intervention was 27 sessions allocated in nine weeks.

Sex and Equipment Impact on Lifting Velocity and the Maximum Repetitions in Bench Press.

This study investigated how equipment and sex affect the prediction accuracy of the maximum number of repetitions performed to failure (RTF) using the fastest mean velocity of the set (MV). Sixteen men and twelve women completed four sessions (two using free-weight equipment and two sessions using the Smith machine). Each session involved three sets of repetitions to failure against the 65%, 75%, and 85% of the one-repetition maximum, interspersed by 10-min of rest.

Development of a Predictive Model for Skin-to-Skin Contact Immediately after Birth: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a predictive model for the establishment of skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted during the last trimester of 2022 and the first trimester of 2023 with women who had given birth in Spain. A questionnaire containing sociodemographic, psychosocial, and health variables referring to the mother and the newborn, as well as the Bond and Attachment questionnaire (VAMF, ) for the analysis of the mother-child bond and attachment, were administered.

Assessment of the quality of life of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Introduction: Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) are diseases that cause a significant impact on patients' quality of life. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Material And Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out at Torrecárdenas Hospital (Almería).

The impact of incorporating a simulation program into the undergraduate nursing curricula: A cross-sectional descriptive study.

Aim: To determine the degree of satisfaction for each academic year and according to the type of simulation performed (simulated patient actor/advanced simulator) among nursing students after the use of clinical simulation.

Introduction: Clinical simulation is currently being incorporated in a cross-cutting manner throughout undergraduate nursing education. Its implementation requires a novel curricular design and educational changes throughout the academic subjects.

Midwives' approach to the prevention and repair of obstetric perineal trauma in Spain.

Aim: Different clinical practice guidelines include recommendations on how to prevent and repair obstetric perineal trauma, as well as the use of episiotomy. To evaluate the variability in midwives' professional practices for preventing and repairing perineal trauma, as well as the professional factors that may be associated with the restrictive use of episiotomy.

Design: Observational cross-sectional study.
