    Abstract Plastic pollution is widespread in oceans and the ingestion of plastic by marine organisms is causing concern about potential adverse effects. The purpose of this study was to analyze the different types of plastics in the digestive tract of female small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula). An alkaline digestion method using 10 % potassium hydroxide (KOH), was used. The samples were filtered and visually observed to classify the plastics according to size, shape, and color. Raman spectroscopy was further employed to identify the polymer types. The study found the presence of plastics in 89.5 % of the 200 females analyzed, including 10 polymers, with polystyrene (PS), polyamide-6 (PA6), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and silicone rubber (SR) being the most common. The polymers identified largely reflect the results of similar studies in the marine environment and were similar to global polymer diversity of microplastics, which highlights the potential of S. canicula females for biomonitoring microplastic pollution.

    Abstract The Raña is a morphosedimentary unit related to the last record of the Guadiana Basin and located in the southwestern Iberian Peninsula. The Guadiana Basin is an intracratonic basin filled with <200 m of Paleogene and Neogene clastic sediments.The Raña unit represents a relict unit that lies over the northern border of the Guadiana Basin and the Variscan basement of Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic low-grade metasediments from the Iberian Massif. Raña deposits are alluvial fans abandoned by their feeding streams during the Late Neogene period. Outcrops correspond to the apex of the alluvial fans isolated from the fluvial network.This study analysed Raña deposits using petrographic, mineralogical, and geochemical techniques, which suggested a source-to-sink analysis by contrasting data among the three involved elements: source areas, basin fill sediments, and Raña deposits.Sandstones from the basin infill show primarily quartzolithic petrofacies as a consequence of the low-grade metamorphic character of the sources. The Raña sandstones show similar petrofacies with a greater quartz content than basin infill deposits and an important population of argillaceous pisoids. Kaolinite is the dominant clay mineral associated with the Raña units. The aforementioned characteristics indicate a sedimentary provenance from intensely weathered products. The contrast of the geochemical composition of the parent rocks, basin-fill, and Raña deposits also confirms the forced maturation of sediments by chemical weathering. Chemical index of alteration values show evolution from infill sediments (76) to Raña deposits (90) as a consequence of mobile cation loss (Ca, Na, and K). This approach is related to different zones of alteration in soils, suggesting the formation of sapropelic deposits on weathering mantles at the source under hot and wet climates (tropical) during the formation of the Raña deposits. Finally, the provenance signals prevail despite intense weathering.

    Abstract For the first time, organophosphate ester (OPE) content was studied in different types of surgical, self-filtering (KN95, FFP2, and FFP3) and reusable face masks used for COVID-19 prevention. OPEs were detected in all mask samples, although in highly variable amounts which ranged from 0.02 to a maximum of 27.7 µg/mask, with the highest mean concentrations obtained for KN95 masks (11.6 µg/mask) and the lowest for surgical masks (0.24 µg/mask). Twelve out of 16 tested analytes were detected, with TEP, TPHP, TNBP, TEHP and TClPP being the most common OPEs as well as present at the highest concentrations. The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks of OPE inhalation were calculated as being always several orders of magnitude lower than threshold levels, indicating that the use of face masks is safe with regard to OPE contamination. However, given the wide range of OPEs observed in different masks, it can be concluded that some masks (e.g. reusable) are less OPE-contaminated than others (e.g. KN95). With regard to environmental pollution, the disposal of billions of face masks is adding to the already substantial levels of microplastics and associated toxic additives worldwide, an impact that is lessened by use of reusable masks, which also have the lowest economic cost per user. However, in situations of relatively high risk of viral inhalation, such as poorly ventilated indoor public spaces, we recommend the use of FFP2 masks.

    Abstract In individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART), persistent low-level viraemia not attributed to suboptimal ART adherence, detrimental pharmacological interactions, or drug resistance is referred to as non-suppressible viraemia (NSV). This Review presents recent findings in the virological characterisation of NSV, revealing that it consists of one or a few identical populations of plasma viruses without signs of evolution. This finding suggests that NSV originates from virus production by expanded HIV-infected cell clones, reflecting the persistence of the HIV reservoir despite ART. We discuss knowledge gaps regarding the management and the clinical consequences of NSV. The prevalence of NSV remains to be precisely determined and there is very little understanding of its effects on virological failure, HIV transmission, secondary inflammation, morbidity, and mortality. This issue, along with the absence of specific recommendations for the management of NSV in HIV clinical guidelines, underscores the complexities involved in treating individuals with NSV.

    Abstract Obesity represents a major global health challenge. Female sexual dysfunctions have a negative impact on quality of life and overall health balance. A higher rate of female sexual dysfunctions in obese women has been suggested. This systematic review summarized the literature on female sexual dysfunction prevalence in obese women. The review was registered (Open Science Framework OSF.IO/7CG95) and a literature search without language restrictions was conducted in PubMed, Embase and Web of Science, from January 1990 to December 2021. Cross-sectional and intervention studies were included, the latter if they provided female sexual dysfunction rate data in obese women prior to the intervention. For inclusion, studies should have used the female sexual function index or its simplified version. Study quality was assessed to evaluate if female sexual function index was properly applied using six items. Rates of female sexual dysfunctions examining for differences between obese vs class III obese and high vs low quality subgroups were summarized. Random effects meta-analysis was performed, calculating 95% confidence intervals (CI) and examining heterogeneity with I

    Abstract Background: The stay in a critical care unit (CCU) has a serious impact on physical condition causing numerous discomfort factors such as pain or difficulty in communicating. All of these are associated with possible sequelae following discharge from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) named post-ICU syndrome. The Kolcaba Comfort Theory allows, from a holistic approach, to identify care needs from the patient's perspective using instruments such as the General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ).
    Objectives: To determine the comfort level of patients admitted to the CCU using the GCQ of Kolcaba and to identify the discomfort factors.
    Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive observational prospective study.
    Population: 580 patients admitted to adult CCU of two high complexity hospitals from June 2015 to March 2020 with stay ≥24 h were interviewed. Descriptive analysis, Student's t-test and ANOVA and multivariate analysis were performed using SPSS v26 and STATA v16.
    Results: The mean age was 52,62 (16,21), 357 (61,6%) were male and 434 (74,8%) were believers. The type of admission was planned in 322 (55,5%) and the most prevalent reason for admission was surgical 486 (83,8%). The median pain score (NRS) was 3,00 [0-4] and severity score (APACHE II) was 13,26 (5,89), the median length of stay was 4,00 [2-7] days. The mean comfort level was 3,02 (0,31) showing the highest value Reanimation 3.02 (0.30) and the lowest Trauma and Emergency Unit 2.95 (0.38). Statistically significant differences were found between the units in the comfort level of patients >65 years of age (p = 0.029). The Relief comfort type obtained the lowest mean 2.81 (0.33) and the physical context 2.75 (0.41) in the three units. In the multivariate analysis, statistically significant differences were found between the comfort level and the pain level: no pain (p = 0,000) OR 4,361 CI [2,184-8,707], mild pain (p = 0,000) OR 4,007 CI [2,068-7,763], moderate pain (p = 0,007) OR 2,803 CI [1,328-5,913], and the APACHE II score equal to or greater than 10 (p = 0,000) OR 0,472 CI [0,316-0,705].
    Conclusions: The comfort level showed high scores in all three units. The physical and environmental contexts and the relief comfort type negatively affected the perception of comfort. The variables that explained comfort were pain and severity of illness. The evaluation of comfort from the patient's perspective through the GCQ could be considered an indicator of quality of nursing interventions.
