We aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19 infection on maternal characteristics and obstetric and neonatal outcomes in a cohort of women in labor previously vaccinated who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection, compared to aged-matched healthy controls. A retrospective case-control study was conducted among 66 women in labor. Clinical data were obtained from medical records.

Nurse Educ Pract
February 2024
Aim: We aimed to compare the debriefing experience, simulation assessment, reflection, anxiety and simulation satisfaction of using oral debriefing versus video-assisted debriefing after a simulated clinical session in an interdisciplinary cohort of health sciences students.
Background: Debriefing is a reflective process that takes place after a clinical simulation and that can be performed either in a traditional way (oral) or using video-assisted debriefing.
Design: A randomized controlled trial was conducted in 143 health sciences students (35.
Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Spanish patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and its relationship with disease characteristics, cardiovascular risk, and dietary habits.
- - Out of 293 patients (mostly women), 15% were found to have MetS, with significant increases in triglycerides, cholesterol, blood pressure, and waist circumference in this group compared to those without MetS.
- - The results indicated that while the prevalence of MetS was lower than previously reported, it was still linked to greater disease-related damage and higher complement C3 levels, but not associated with the level of dietary adherence to the Mediterranean Diet.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how common metabolic syndrome (MetS) is in a rural Spanish population, focusing on the impact of loneliness, social isolation, and support on its prevalence.
- About 50% of the 310 patients examined met the criteria for MetS, with findings indicating that those affected experienced more loneliness and less social support.
- The study suggests that environmental factors may influence MetS rates, highlighting the need for targeted screening and prevention programs in these communities.
Nonlinear, Multicomponent Physical Exercise With Heart Rate Variability-Guided Prescription in Women With Breast Cancer During Treatment: Feasibility and Preliminary Results (ATOPE Study).
Phys Ther
September 2023
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility, safety, adherence, and preliminary efficacy of the ATOPE program during radiotherapy (RT) or chemotherapy (CT) for women with breast cancer.
Methods: This single-blind, pretest-posttest feasibility study included 38 women with breast cancer at the beginning of their treatment. The ATOPE program consisted of 12 to 18 sessions of a multimodal physical exercise program, prescribed based on daily heart rate variability and clinimetric assessments using the ATOPE+ mHealth system.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the rate of non-adherence to antimalarials and glucocorticoids (GCs) and to analyze their potential relationships with sociodemographic characteristics, disease activity and accumulate damage in a cohort of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 670 patients. The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Activity Questionnaire (SLAQ) and the Lupus Damage Index Questionnaire (LDIQ) were used to assess disease activity and accumulated damage.
Impact of Non-Face-to-Face Teaching with Passive Training on Personal Protective Equipment Use in Health Science Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
October 2022
Background: In the COVID-19 era, there was a call for the transformation of higher education. Universities had to combine non-face-to-face teaching with traditional procedures. This study analyzed the effectiveness and perceived satisfaction in a cohort of health sciences students of non-face-to-face teaching with passive training versus face-to-face teaching with active training in the proper donning and doffing of personal protective equipment (PPE) in a clinical simulation scenario.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPhysical exercise is known to be beneficial for breast cancer survivors (BCS). However, avoiding nonfunctional overreaching is crucial in this population, as they are in physiological dysregulation. These factors could decrease their exercise capacity or facilitate nonfunctional overreaching, which can increase their risk of additional morbidities and even all-cause mortality.

Int J Environ Res Public Health
June 2022
Background: Many women with breast cancer experience a great number of side effects, such as cognitive impairment, during and after chemotherapy that reduces their quality of life. Currently, research focusing on the use of non-pharmacological, and specifically telehealth interventions to prevent or mitigate them has been insufficient.
Methods: This protocol describes a randomized controlled trial aimed at studying the preventive effects of a videoconferenced cognitive-adaptive training (e-OTCAT) program (ClinicalTrials.
