Multimodal Inpatient Prehabilitation Prior to Heart or Lung Transplantation in a Latin American Transplant Reference Center.

Introduction: Whether the implementation of a multimodal prehabilitation program is effective and safe for high-risk heart or lung transplantation candidates, whose condition prevents hospital discharge, is unclear.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at a cardiothoracic transplant center in Chile. Two cohorts of hospitalized patients listed for heart or lung transplant were studied: the first underwent traditional (historical) and nonstructured prehabilitation, and the second underwent protocol-driven multimodal prehabilitation (MP).

Evidence of organizational support in hospitals in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: scoping review.

Objective: To map evidence of organizational support for healthcare professionals who worked in hospitals during the pandemic.

Method: This is a scoping review, based on the framework established by Joanna Briggs Institute and the PRISMA-ScR protocol, registered in the Open Science Framework, under DOI: 10.17605/OSF.

Chrononutrition patterns and their association with body weight: Differences across multiple chronotypes.

Introduction: In recent years, the focus of research on obesity and its management has expanded beyond traditional dietary factors to include the timing of food intake - in relation to the body's circadian rhythms - known as chrononutrition. However, chrononutrition patterns remain largely unexplored in low-medium income countries. Our study aimed to investigate the association between chrononutrition patterns and BMI.

Hyperacute silicosis after bronchoscopy-induced melanoptysis in a lung transplant patient. A first report in literature.

Silicosis, a fibrotic lung disease caused by crystalline silica inhalation, presents unique challenges in lung transplantation. This case reports an unprecedented complication in a lung transplant recipient with chronic silicosis. A man in his 60 s, post left single-lung transplantation for silica-induced pneumoconiosis, developed acute respiratory deterioration following routine bronchoscopy.
