Clinical Manifestations.

Background: In the present study we aimed to assess the cognition of post-COVID condition (PCC) participants regarding their sleep quality, and to analyse different possible moderators of this effect, such as quality of life (European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions, EQ-5D), fatigue (Chadler Fatigue Questionnaire, CFQ), cognitive reserve (Cognitive Reserve Questionnaire, CRC), and subjective cognitive complaints (Memory Failures of Everyday Questionnaire, MFE-30).

Method: We included 373 individuals with PCC and 126 healthy controls (HCs) from the NAUTILUS Project (NCT05307549 and NCT05307575) that were assessed with a comprehensive neuropsychological battery and different questionnaires.

Result: We included 373 individuals with PCC and 126 healthy controls (HCs) from the NAUTILUS Project (NCT05307549 and NCT05307575) that were assessed with a comprehensive neuropsychological battery and different questionnaires.

Effect of gamma radiation on freeze-dried red pitaya (Hylocereus costaricensis) skin powder: An EPR study to assess the original dose.

The integral use of some fruits is an alternative for sustainable production from an environmental, social, and economic point of view, so activities that promote the sustainability of the food production chain, such as fruits waste irradiation, are being carried out. For control and safety purposes with irradiated products, it is necessary to use precise and adequate techniques that allow the marking and unequivocal identification of these products. Among these techniques, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy has stood out for its high sensitivity in detecting paramagnetic species generated during irradiation.

A multimodal group-based immersive virtual reality intervention for improving cognition and mental health in patients with post-covid-19 condition. A quasi-experimental design study.

Introduction: Adults with Post-COVID-19 Condition (PCC) may show cognitive impairments in attention, processing speed, memory, and executive function. Multimodal programs that combine cognitive training, physical activity and emotional tasks, such as mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), may offer a suitable alternative for improving PCC treatments. Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) is a promising technology that can enhance traditional cognitive training, physical activity, and MBIs.

Novel pesticides design: co-encapsulation of citral and cyproconazole for the control of Botrytis cinerea using biocompatible nano-carriers.

Background: Growing concerns about sustainability have driven the search for eco-friendly pest management solutions. Combining natural and synthetic compounds within controlled release systems is a promising strategy. This study investigated the co-encapsulation of the natural compound citral (Cit) and the synthetic antifungal cyproconazole (CPZ) using two water-based nanocarriers: solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs).
