Introduction: designing functional foods to control appetite could be a useful strategy for managing overweight and obesity. Fiber and proteins could be interesting ingredients to consider. Objectives: to evaluate the appetite profile of two experimental yogurts (fiber-enriched [FEY] and protein-enriched [PEY]) versus a control yogurt (CY) in a group of overweight/obesity people.

Adolescents with hemophilia are a patient population with special requirements, having to manage their condition alongside the typical challenges of adolescence. Given the psychosocial impact of hemophilia and a desire to fit in with non-hemophilic peers, they may perceive treatment as more of a burden than a benefit. This can result in low adherence and a high risk of hemophilia-related complications.

Psychometric Reliability to Assess the Perception of Women's Fulfillment of Maternity Rights.

Eur J Investig Health Psychol Educ

August 2024

Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, C/Arzobispo Morcillo 2, 28029 Madrid, Spain.

The fulfillment of rights to maternal healthcare is a key factor for the wellbeing of women. However, there is a lack of an instrument to ascertain the experience of women during maternity to enable adequate monitoring. The aim of this study was to validate a new instrument to measure women's perception of the fulfillment of rights during healthcare in pregnancy and childbirth and immediately postpartum.

Non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is a rare entity characterized by excessive accumulation of fluid within the fetal extravascular compartments and body cavities. Here we present two intrauterine fetal demises with NIHF presenting with oligohydramnios, cystic hygroma, pleural effusion, and generalized hydrops with predominance of subcutaneous edema. The fetuses also presented with ascites, severe and precocious IUGR and skeletal anomalies.

Background: Telemonitoring for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not consistently demonstrated superiority over standard care; however, noninferiority may be an acceptable outcome if remote care proves to be more efficient.

Objective: This study aims to compare the remission time and quality of life of patients with active IBD managed through standard care versus the TECCU (Telemonitoring of Crohn Disease and Ulcerative Colitis) app.

Methods: A 2-arm, randomized, multicenter trial with a noninferiority design was conducted across 24 hospitals in Spain.

Article Synopsis
  • A distinct type of regulatory T cells, known as cTreg39+, play a role in reducing inflammation by converting pro-inflammatory adenine nucleotides into adenosine and their interaction with methotrexate (MTX) was studied in early rheumatoid arthritis (eRA).
  • In a study involving 98 untreated eRA patients and 98 healthy controls, it was found that higher levels of cTreg39+ cells at baseline were associated with achieving low disease activity after 12 months of MTX treatment.
  • The results indicate that MTX enhances the effectiveness of cTreg39+ cells while their baseline frequency can predict how well a patient will respond to MTX, suggesting that monitoring these cells could guide prompt treatment

Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD), which commonly includes left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure, is the main adverse effect of anticancer therapy. In recent years several candidate genes studies and genome-wide association studies have identified common genetic variants associated with CTRCD, but evidence remains limited and few genetic variants are robust. A genome-wide meta-analysis of CTRCD was performed with 852 oncology patients receiving cancer therapy.

Article Synopsis
  • Platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer (PSOC) is commonly treated with platinum-based chemotherapy plus bevacizumab, but patients often face disease progression within a year, indicating a need for new treatment strategies.
  • Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx (MIRV), an antibody-drug conjugate targeting folate receptor alpha, has shown promising results when used with bevacizumab, particularly in patients with high levels of FRα.
  • The ongoing Phase III GLORIOSA trial aims to compare the effectiveness of MIRV plus bevacizumab against bevacizumab alone for patients with FRα-high PSOC after responding to previous treatment.

Cystic fibrosis is the most common autosomal recessive disease in the Caucasian race. Its course is chronic and progressive, with pulmonary involvement being associated with greater morbidity and mortality. One of the factors most related to worse prognosis in these patients is respiratory exacerbations.

Vaccination with transiently activated replication-competent controlled herpesviruses (RCCVs) expressing influenza A virus hemagglutinins broadly protects mice against lethal influenza virus challenges. The non-replicating RCCVs can be activated to transiently replicate with high efficiency. Activation involves a brief heat treatment to the epidermal administration site in the presence of a drug.

Background: Genome-wide association studies of COVID-19 severity have been carried out mostly on European or East Asian populations with small representation of other world regions. Here we explore the worldwide distribution and linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns of genetic variants previously associated with COVID-19 severity.

Methods: We followed up the results of a large Spanish genome-wide meta-analysis on 26 populations from the 1000 Genomes Project by calculating allele frequencies and LD scores of the nine most significant SNPs.

Background: The factor structure of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia Heart version has rarely been adequately analyzed. We aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of this scale through a variety of exploratory and confirmatory factorial approaches.

Aim: To perform a translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and psychometric evaluation of the Spanish version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia Heart in patients attending Cardiac Rehabilitation (TSK-SPA).

Background And Aims: There is little evidence on the impact of current recommendations on the use of antiplatelet therapy during the perioperative and periprocedural period in our setting. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and clinical impact of inappropriate use of antiplatelet therapy in a population of patients undergoing surgery or a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure in "real life" in Spain.

Methods: A prospective multicenter observational study of patients treated with antiplatelet agents requiring intervention was conducted.

System Dynamics (SD) models have been used to understand complex, multi-faceted dengue transmission dynamics, but a gap persists between research and actionable public health tools for decision-making. Spain is an at-risk country of imported dengue outbreaks, but only qualitative assessments are available to guide public health action and control. We propose a modular SD model combining temperature-dependent vector population, transmission parameters, and epidemiological interactions to simulate outbreaks from imported cases accounting for heterogeneous local climate-related transmission patterns.

  • LPAC (Low Phospholipid-Associated Cholelithiasis) is a rare genetic syndrome that contributes to biliary diseases, and its treatment with bile salts can prevent symptoms and surgeries.
  • A study conducted from February 2021 to September 2022 identified 36 LPAC patients, indicating an incidence rate of 2.5% among hospital admissions for biliary causes, with higher rates in younger patients and women.
  • Correctly diagnosing LPAC using straightforward criteria could reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and surgeries, particularly in women under 50 experiencing biliary issues.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluates chromosomal abnormalities in fetuses with nuchal translucency (NT) measurements between 3.0 and 3.4 mm, which are often missed by non-invasive prenatal testing (cfDNA).
  • A review of data from 271 fetuses revealed that 18.8% had chromosomal aberrations, with significant findings including common trisomies in 15% of cases and a small percentage involving sex chromosome aneuploidy.
  • The research suggests that many fetuses at increased risk for chromosomal issues due to NT measurements may require invasive testing, as NIPT has limitations that could lead to false negatives.

Machine learning algorithms to the early diagnosis of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

Introduction: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders include a variety of physical and neurocognitive disorders caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. Although their overall prevalence is around 0.77%, FASD remains underdiagnosed and little known, partly due to the complexity of their diagnosis, which shares some symptoms with other pathologies such as autism spectrum, depression or hyperactivity disorders.
