The association between meat consumption and muscle strength index in young adults: the mediating role of total protein intake and lean mass percentage.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyse the associations between the consumption of different types of meat and the muscle strength index (MSI) and to examine whether this relationship is mediated by total protein intake (TPI) and lean mass percentage (LM%) in young adults.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with first-year university students from Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. Different types of meat consumption (total, red, processed, and white and fish) were separately evaluated using a Food-Frequency Questionnaire.

Health-related quality of life in developmental coordination disorder and typical developing children.

Purpose: To analyse: 1) the differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) between typically developing (TD) children and children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) according to parents' and children's perception, and 2) the differences and level of agreement between parents and children's perceptions in HRQoL in both children's samples.

Methods: Cross-sectional analysis in 115 Spanish schoolchildren 4-to-7 years. Motor competence and HRQoL were assessed using the MACB-2 and the KINDL-R questionnaire, respectively.

Flash Glucose Monitoring and Patient Satisfaction: A Meta-Review of Systematic Reviews.

Flash glucose monitoring (FGM) systems have been suggested to have clinical beneficial effects in patients with diabetes mellitus, although their improvements in terms of quality of life (QoL) and patients' satisfaction are not always addressed or are considered a secondary outcome. Thus, the aim of this meta-review is to establish the benefits of FGM in terms of patients' satisfaction and QoL in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients using evidence from past systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Major databases were searched for systematic reviews (with or without meta-analyses) that assessed the satisfaction or QoL of type 1 or 2 diabetes patients using FGM compared with other glucose monitoring systems.

Effects of Power-Oriented Resistance Training With Heavy vs. Light Loads on Muscle-Tendon Function in Older Adults: A Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Power-oriented resistance training (PRT) is one of the most effective exercise programs to counteract neuromuscular and physical function age-related declines. However, the optimal load that maximizes these outcomes or the load-specific adaptations induced on muscle power determinants remain to be better understood. Furthermore, to investigate whether these adaptations are potentially transferred to an untrained limb (i.

The Mediating and Moderating Effects of Physical Fitness of the Relationship between Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and Health-Related Quality of Life in University Students.

The aim of this study was to estimate the relationship between the adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in university students and to assess whether this relationship is mediated or moderated by cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and handgrip strength. A cross-sectional study was performed involving 310 first-year Spanish university students. Adherence to the MD was evaluated with the 14-item Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS), and the HRQoL was evaluated with the Short Form-12 (SF-12) questionnaire.

Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and Its Association with Body Composition and Physical Fitness in Spanish University Students.

The aims of this study were to assess the association of adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) with physical fitness and body composition in Spanish university students and to determine the ability to predict the MD adherence of each Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS) item. A cross-sectional study was performed involving 310 first-year university students. Adherence to the MD was evaluated with MEDAS-14 items.

[Elderly caregivers of elderly people].

The ageing of the population is a reality in our society nowadays. The aging process changes increase the probability that health problems occur. This fact involves that the needs of care demanded by the population increase too.

[USE OF NNN LANGUAGE IN LOCAL CARE OF BURN INJURIES].

Burn injuries are tissue injuries originated as a result of a physical or chemical trauma. They can cause from a mild skin affectation to the total destruction of the affected tissues, depending on various levels of severity. Moreover, if the affected body surface is very large, patient life can seriously be compromised.

[Sequelae in patients with severe burns].

Nowadays, the main aim with severe burned patients is the prevention and treatment of the complications associated to burn injuries, because the mortality caused by them has significantly declined due to the improvements in the treatments used. This fact has changed the focus of the care from a biomedical model which pay attention to the physical aspects, to other based on the holistic care of the patient in which physical, psychological and social aspects are considered. To minimize the development of these adverse complications and to prevent their severity in long term, it is essential to initiate an early rehabilitation at hospital and follow these patients by the Primary Care team when they return home.

[Therapeutic guide to local care of burn injuries].

There is a large variety of topical application substances in the market for burnt areas treatment. This fact, far from being an advantage, turns into a serious problem when nursing staff has to choose the most adequate for each case. We think that, apart from a thorough knowledge of aspects such as indications and contraindications, application methods, combination with other substances and possible interactions, the formulation of a series of practical criteria can be of great help in order to select the right topical substance for the objectives pursued.

[Local nursing care in burn injuries].

Burn injuries are tissue injuries originated as a result of a physical or chemical trauma. They can cause from a mild skin affectation to the total destruction of the affected tissues, depending on various levels of severity. Moreover, if the affected body surface is very large, patient life can be seriously compromised.

[What do we need to know about the burn injuries? Pathophysiology, aetiology and effects].

Burn injuries are a major public health problem worldwide, because they are very common. They are usually produced in domestic or work environments, although it is not unusual that they might be caused by traffic accidents or intentionally (self-injured or assaults on the people). These injuries do not attract much attention but if they are not treated properly, they can lead to serious systemic complications which can sometimes cause the death of the patient.
