Source attribution, health risk analysis, and policy implications of PAHs and NPAHs in PM[Formula: see text] in Northern Mexico.

This research investigates the concentrations, sources, and health risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitrated PAHs (NPAHs) in particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm or less (PM[Formula: see text]) from critical urban centers in northern Mexico: Metropolitan Monterrey Area (MMA), Chihuahua (CHI), and Ciudad Juárez (CDJ). Advanced gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS and GC-NCI-MS) revealed significant PAHs concentrations, with levels in MMA reaching 108.89 ± 99.

Mortality predictors and definition proposal for complicated coagulase-negative Staphylococcus bacteraemia: a multicentre prospective cohort study.

Objectives: The study aimed to explore a definition for complicated coagulase-negative staphylococci bloodstream infections (CoNS BSIs) and to identify predictors for mortality.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted from October 2016 to March 2017 in 26 Spanish hospitals. Complicated CoNS BSI criteria included lack of early catheter removal in catheter-related cases, foreign indwelling implant, persistent bacteraemia, fever ≥72 hours on active therapy, metastatic infection or deep-seated focus, and infective endocarditis.

Childhood Trauma Across the Schizophrenia Spectrum: A Comparison of Schizotypal Personality Disorder and Schizophrenia.

Background: The etiology of schizophrenia involves both biological and environmental risk factors. Studying childhood trauma in disorders along the schizophrenia spectrum, including schizotypal personality disorder (SPD), can inform early risk and protective factors for psychosis. However, no study has directly compared childhood trauma between SPD and schizophrenia.

Ceftaroline for bloodstream infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: a multicentre retrospective cohort study.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of ceftaroline vs. vancomycin or daptomycin in the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections (BSIs) (MRSA-BSIs).

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.

Effectiveness of an Exercise Therapy Program Based on Sports in Adults With Acquired Brain Injury: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: To examine the effects of a sport-based exercise therapy (ET) program combined with usual care (sET+UC) compared with usual care (UC) alone on health-related quality of life, upper limb motor control, functional capacity, mobility, balance, and physical activity participation in ambulant adults with acquired brain injury (ABI).

Design: Single-blind, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial.

Setting: Rehabilitation center.
