IntroducciÓn: La pandemia de enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) ha incidido de forma negativa en los programas de rehabilitación cardiaca (PRC) españoles.
Objetivo: Este trabajo tiene como objetivo fundamental el analizar la posibilidad de mantenerlos abiertos y como secundario valorar si se mantienen los beneficios demostrados a nivel físico y psicológico.
MÉtodos: Analizamos los resultados de nuestro PRC en el año 2020 (119 pacientes) y los comparamos con los del año 2019 (121 pacientes), libre de COVID-19. Se comparan distintas variables generales, y los resultados obtenidos en capacidad física, a nivel psicológico, así como las complicaciones y abandonos.
Resultados: No existen diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos en la edad (61.6 vs. 61.5), sexo (mujeres: 12.6 vs. 14.8%), diagnóstico de cardiopatía isquémica (106 vs. 99) y fracción de eyección de ventrículo izquierdo (55.9 vs. 55.8%). La ansiedad media-alta fue superior al inicio (p = 0.02) y final (p = 0.002) del programa en el año 2019, así como las puntuaciones del patrón de conducta tipo A (p = 0.041 vs. 0.034). El porcentaje de depresión fue similar. Más del 95% de los pacientes del año 2020 referían miedo al contagio. La capacidad funcional aumentó, pero menos en el año 2020 (p = 0.001). La duración del programa fue superior en el año 2020 (p = 0.001). Los abandonos (15 vs. 11 pacientes) no mostraron diferencias significativas.
Conclusiones: Los PRC en época COVID-19 son posibles y siguen mostrando beneficios. La duración del programa fue mayor por periodos de falta de asistencia. La menor capacidad física puede estar relacionada con el uso de la mascarilla.
Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on Spanish Cardiac Rehabilitation Programmes (CRP).
Objectives: The main objective of this study is to analyze the possibility of keeping these units open and, secondly, to assess whether demonstrated physical and psychological benefits are preserved.
Methods: We analyzed results of our CRP in 2020 (119 patients) and compared them with those of 2019 (121 patients), year free of Covid. We compare different general variables, and results obtained in physical capacity, psychological level, as well as complications and dropouts.
Results: There were no significant differences between two groups in age (61.6 vs. 61.5), sex (women: 12.6% vs. 14.8%), diagnosis of ischemic heart disease (106 vs. 99) and left ventricular ejection fraction (55.9% vs. 55.8%). Mean-high anxiety was higher at baseline (p = 0.02) and endline (p = 0.002) of program in 2019, as well as type A behavior pattern scores (p=0.041 and 0.034). Percentage of depression was similar. More than 95% of patients in 2020 reported fear of infection. Functional capacity increased, but less in 2020 (p = 0.001). Programme duration was longer in 2020 (p=0.001). Dropouts (15 vs. 11 patients) showed no significant differences.
Conclusions: CR programmes in COVID-19 era are possible and continue to show benefits. The duration of programme was longer due to periods of non-attendance. Lower physical capacity may be related to mask use.

Objective: To determine whether a simple small vessel disease (SVD) score, which uses information available on rapid visual assessment of clinical MRI scans, predicts risk of cognitive decline and dementia, above that provided by simple clinical measures.
Methods: Three prospective longitudinal cohort studies (SCANS [St George's Cognition and Neuroimaging in Stroke], RUN DMC [Radboud University Nijmegen Diffusion Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Cohort], and the ASPS [Austrian Stroke Prevention Study]), which covered a range of SVD severity from mild and asymptomatic to severe and symptomatic, were included. In all studies, MRI was performed at baseline, cognitive tests repeated during follow-up, and progression to dementia recorded prospectively.

Acetic acid and sodium acetate are generally supplied to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in China to improve total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) removal, and the addition of carbon source also facilitates to increase sludge growth rate and further provides material basis for the extraction of proteins and amino acids from activated sludge. To recycle ammonia nitrogen resources, a system that combined adsorption and anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (A/AAO) process for treating low strength wastewater was established. Experimental results showed that by the addition of carbon substrate from a mixture of anaerobically fermented adsorption sludge, the average removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen, TN, and TP were 88%, 96.

We aimed to characterize the genetics of endothelial function and how this influences risk for cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic stroke. We integrated genetic data from a study of ultrasound flow-mediated dilatation of brachial artery in adolescents from ALSPAC (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children; n=5214) with a study of ischemic stroke (MEGASTROKE: n=60 341 cases and 452 969 controls) to identify variants that confer risk of ischemic stroke through altered endothelial function. We identified a variant in (Phosphodiesterase 3A), encoding phosphodiesterase 3A, which was associated with flow-mediated dilatation in adolescents (9-12 years of age; β[SE], 0.
