    Abstract KEY MESSAGE: In the Mediterranean region, the recovery of riparian trees after wounds can be jeopardized under drier climate condition and cooccurrence of extreme flood events. Climate change could impair riparian vegetation dynamics through more intense and frequent climatic extreme events such as flash flooding. However, it is still poorly known how climate warming can also impair vegetation recovery through control on cellular traits after such extreme events. Here, we analyze how Mediterranean riparian tree species (namely Alnus glutinosa, Fraxinus angustifolia, and Salix atrocinerea) recover after wounds caused by intense floods using 239 X-ray computed tomography (XRCT) images taken on 30 trees. The XRCT imagery allowed to characterize wounds-related macroscopic parameters in different sections along the stems in three dimensions. Then, we quantified the annual wound closure rates by dating dendrochronologically each wound and measuring the annual overgrowth on the wounded area. Finally, we used linear mixed models to investigate how wound closure rates are affected by climate conditions. Our results show that wound closure varies between species. A. glutinosa and F. angustifolia presented higher wound recovery rates than S. atrocinerea. However, the statistical analyses suggest that F. angustifolia and S. atrocinerea tend to recover much less(more) during drier(wetter) years than A. glutinosa. Our results suggest that A. glutinosa could be more stressed under climate change in the Mediterranean region, where the cooccurrence of drier conditions with extreme flood events may increase.

The aim of this study was to evaluate: (1) body composition; (2) muscle strength and the prevalence of sarcopenia; and (3) the relationship between muscle strength with symptomatic and functional evolution in older patients affected by/recovered from COVID-19; (2) Methods: A prospective, longitudinal study of patients aged ≥65 years who had suffered from COVID-19 infection between 1 March and 31 May 2020, as confirmed by PCR or subsequent seroconversion. Persistent symptoms, as well as anthropometric, clinical, and analytical characteristics, were analyzed at 3 and 12 months after infection. The degree of sarcopenia was determined by dynamometry and with SARC-F; (3) Results: 106 participants, aged 76.8 ± 7 years, were included. At 3 months postinfection, a high percentage of sarcopenic patients was found, especially among women and in those with hospitalization. At 12 months postinfection, this percentage had decreased, coinciding with a functional and symptomatic recovery, and the normalization of inflammatory parameters, especially interleukin-6 (4.7 ± 11.6 pg/mL vs. 1.5 ± 2.4 pg/mL,

    Abstract Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a highly prevalent atherosclerotic condition. In patients with PAD, the presence of intermittent claudication leads to a deterioration in quality of life. In addition, even in asymptomatic cases, patients with PAD are at high risk of cardiac or cerebrovascular events. Treatment of PAD is based on lifestyle modifications; regular exercise; smoking cessation; and control of cardiovascular risk factors, including hypercholesterolemia. A growing number of studies have shown that statins reduce cardiovascular risk and improve symptoms associated with PAD. Current guidelines recommend the use of statins in all patients with PAD in order to decrease cardiovascular events and mortality. However, the prescribing of statins in patients with PAD is lower than in those with coronary heart disease. This review provides relevant information from the literature that supports the use of statins in patients with PAD and shows their potential benefit in decreasing lower limb complications as well as cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

    Abstract Findings from cardiovascular outcome trials on certain newer glucose-lowering drugs have shown clear cardiovascular and renal benefits. In this review, we provide an updated overview of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors in terms of cardiovascular and renal protection. Both drugs have been described as diabetes/disease-modifying drugs. There is robust evidence on the benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists in renal disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease-especially in stroke-which are mainly explained by their antiproteinuric effect. However, this class of drugs has only shown neutral effects on heart failure and further studies are necessary in order to assess their role in this disease. SGLT-2 inhibitors have shown strong benefits in heart failure hospitalizations and renal outcomes, mainly through limiting glomerular filtration rate deterioration, regardless of the presence of diabetes. Nonetheless, their effect on the prevention of major adverse atherosclerotic cardiovascular events and cardiovascular mortality seems to be limited to patients with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease. Evidence on the cardiovascular and renal benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors have significantly modified management plans and treatment choices for patients with type 2 diabetes. There is now a focus on a multifactorial approach that goes beyond the glucose-lowering effect of these drugs, which are the preferred choice in routine clinical practice. According to the current evidence, a patient-focused approach that includes both individualized glycemic control and cardiorenal prevention using GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors with proven cardiovascular and renal benefits is believed to be the best strategy for achieving the treatment goals of patients with type 2 diabetes. Despite the strong cardiovascular and renal benefits of these drugs, further research is required in order to clarify questions that remain unanswered.

    Abstract Inflammatory pseudo tumor (IP) is an infrequent process with benign evolution in most cases whose etiology and pathogenesis are unknown. It usually affects young men and children, in whom the macroscopic lesion can mimic a malignant process, which is ruled out after biopsy. Therefore, the diagnosis of certainty is histological and treatment consists of corticosteroids, leaving resection for cases in which biopsy is not possible or in which it produces local complications. We present a case of an inflammatory pseudo tumor with special corticodependence that began as a long-term periodic fever and splenic focal lesion that required splenectomy for its diagnosis and that, after decreasing the corticosteroid regimen, presented recurrences at the cerebellar and systemic level requiring the association of various immunosuppressants and rituximab to achieve remission. As a result of this case, we have performed an analysis of all the pseudo tumors diagnosed in adults in the hospitals of the province of Malaga, and it has been compared with that described in the bibliography.

The improvement in muscle strength was accompanied by significant weight gain (71.9 ± 12.1 kg vs. 74.7 ± 12.7 kg, p < 0.001), but not by an increase in lean mass (49.6 ± 10 vs. 49.9 ± 10, p 0.29); (4) Conclusions: Older COVID-19 survivors presented a functional, clinical, and muscular recovery 12 months postinfection. Even so, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive follow-ups and assessments that include aspects of nutrition and physical activity.
