The Royal Decree 601/2019 of 18th October is the result of the partial transposition into the Spanish legal system of the Euratom Directive 59/2013. This Royal Decree includes the mandates of the Directive related to the need to justify and optimize medical exposure, including that of asymptomatic people, proposal of stricter requirements regarding the information that must be provided to the patient, registration and notification of the doses of medical-radiological procedures, use of reference levels for diagnosis and the availability of dose-indicating devices. The article reviews the most relevant aspects and novelties related to the principles of justification, optimization, dose control and the obligations derived from the right to information and consent. This Royal Decree considers essential for radiologists to develop a high level of competence and a new list of responsibilities and functions, which are detailed and analysed in this article.

Background: Wildlife conservation and management aims to restore population declines, it is the vulnerable or endangered populations who require the greatest conservation efforts. In this context, non-invasive sampling has been evaluated as an option for reporting prey/predator impact. Galemys pyrenaicus is currently threatened throughout its range, and cohabits with Nemys anomalus, in Extremadura (Spain).

Background: Palliative Sedation (PS) at the end of life is practiced and perceived differently by health professionals depending on the geographical location in which they provide their health care. Taking into account this heterogeneity, it is necessary to expand knowledge and provide data on this clinical practice in different contexts and countries. On the other hand, the identification of factors associated with PS could help healthcare professionals, at an early stage, to identify patients more likely to require sedation.

Article Synopsis
- Paramphistomids, trematodes affecting the rumen, are increasingly found in sheep in northwestern Spain, with 14% of the sheep and 44% of the farms testing positive for infection.
- The study analyzed 826 fecal samples and identified risk factors such as age, farm management practices, and environmental conditions that influence infection rates and egg shedding of these parasites.
- Molecular identification confirmed the presence of Calicophoron daubneyi, marking the first time this species has been identified in Spanish sheep, highlighting the growing concern of paramphistomid infections in this region.

The coordination of neuronal wiring and activity within the central nervous system (CNS) is crucial for cognitive function, particularly in the context of aging and neurological disorders. Neurogranin (Ng), an abundant forebrain protein, modulates calmodulin (CaM) activity and deeply influences synaptic plasticity and neuronal processing. This study investigates the regulatory mechanisms of Ng expression, a critical but underexplored area for combating cognitive impairment.

Background: In several European Union countries, undocumented migrants face significant barriers to accessing universal healthcare. In Spain, Royal Decree-Law 16/2012 introduced restrictions that limited undocumented migrants' access to healthcare services, offering only emergency, maternal, and paediatric care. The implementation of this law created significant disparities in access to healthcare across regions.
