    Abstract Background: Diabetes has been associated with psychological problems, which in turn have been related to poorer glycemic control (glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c]). On the contrary, psychological well-being constructs have been associated with superior medical outcomes, including better HbA1c.
    Aim: The main objective of this study was to systematically review the existing literature about the relationships between subjective well-being (SWB) and HbA1c in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
    Methods: Comprehensive searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Medline, time restricted to 2021, for studies examining the link between HbA1c and the cognitive (CWB) and affective (AWB) components of SWB. A total of 16 eligible studies were selected according to the inclusion criteria, of which 15 measured CWB and 1 AWB.
    Results: Of the 15 studies included, 11 showed a relationship between CWB and HbA1c, with a higher level of HbA1c being related to poorer CWB. The other four studies did not find any significant association. Finally, the only study examining the relationship between AWB and HbA1c found a marginally association between these variables in the expected direction.
    Conclusion: The overall data suggest that CWB is negatively related to HbA1c in this population, but these results are inconclusive. This systematic review offers clinical implications, such as the possible evaluation, prevention, and treatment of the problems associated with diabetes through the study and training of the psychosocial variables that may directly influence SWB. Limitations and future lines of investigation are discussed.

    Abstract Purpose: We evaluated a modification of automated antibiograms in urine cultures designed to facilitate the early interpretation of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and accelerate the targeted treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs), METHODS: A prospective study was conducted of 309 isolates (219 Enterobacteriaceae, 75 Enterococcus spp., and 15 non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB), and a retrospective study of 9 carbapenemase-producing clinical isolates from urine cultures. Colonies grown on conventional isolation plates were inoculated in MicroScan Walkaway system panels and incubated for 7 h, using a MicroScan AutoScan-4 plate reader for preliminary MIC determination by turbidimetry. Resulting antibiograms were compared with definitive antibiograms obtained after incubation for 17 h.
    Results: Preliminary and definitive readings were concordant for 86.7% of Gram-positive cocci isolates (65/75), 61.6% of Enterobacteriaceae (135/219), and 53.3% of NFGNB. The agreement rate was greater than 90% for most antimicrobials against Gram-positive cocci (94.7% or more) and Enterobacteriaceae, (97.2% or more for 10 of 17 antibiotics) except with nitrofurantoin (89%). The agreement rate was 86.7% or more for most antibiotics against NFGNB apart from piperacillin/tazobactam, aztreonam, amikacin, and ciprofloxacin. Gram-negative bacilli showed the highest differences in MIC values between preliminary and definitive readings.
    Conclusions: A preliminary antibiogram reading may be useful in urine cultures to reduce the delay before targeted antibiotherapy, especially against Enterobacteriaceae and Gram-positive cocci, but not in cases of carbapenemase-producing NFGNB. Further local studies are warranted to evaluate the usefulness of this approach in relation to resistance rates.

    Abstract Introduction: Pre-service teachers should be prepared to face the emotionally demanding situations associated with the profession. The previous literature suggests that two variables are important for managing teaching demands: emotional intelligence (EI) or the ability to perceive, facilitate, understand, and manage emotions and implicit theories (ITs). ITs refer to the beliefs about the malleability of various life domains. Individuals can be divided into incremental theorists (believing that attributes are malleable) and entity theorists (attributes are fixed).
    Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of ITs of intelligence and EI on self-report and ability EI in a sample of female preschool pre-service teachers.
    Method: In total, 224 participants (
    Results: In our sample, incremental EI-but not intelligence-theories predicted higher scores on self-report and ability EI. In particular, being an incremental theorist of EI predicted 11 and 20% of the variance of the global EI and the managing branch of the ability EI, respectively.
    Conclusion: Our findings suggest the importance of ITs of EI for pre-service teachers' emotional intelligence and open the door to implementing ITs of EI training in this population. These theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

    Abstract This study analyzed the epidemiology and antibiotic susceptibility profile of significant bacteriuria and assessed the impact of adopting EUCAST criteria on antibiotic resistances. A systematic review was performed on publications in English or Spanish between 1 January 2010 and 30 June 2021 on the susceptibility of Gram-positive bacteria isolated in urinary samples in Europe. A retrospective descriptive study was also conducted on the results of 21,838 urine cultures with presumptive urinary tract infection (UTI) obtained during the past five years by the Department of Microbiology of the Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital (Granada, Spain). The activity of various antibiotics was determined, differentiated among various populations, and interpretations compared according to the application of EUCAST or CLSI criteria. Among 21,838 cases of significant bacteriuria, 27.69% were by Gram-positive bacteria, which were

    Abstract Background: Infections by glucose-nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) pose a major public health problem due to multiresistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, especially plasmid-borne carbapenemases. Their detection by microbiology laboratories is challenging, and there is a need for easy-to-use and reliable diagnostic techniques. Our objective was to evaluate an in-house screening method to presumptively detect carbapenemases in NFGNB in a simple and clinically useful manner.
    Methods: The study included 175 NFGNB isolates from urinary, respiratory, and rectal samples. In a triple assay, isolates were incubated at 37°C for 24 h on three solid-culture media: MacConkey II Agar, 5% Sheep Blood Columbia Agar and Mueller Hinton II Agar; meropenem (MEM) and cefepime (FEP) disks were employed for screening. Studies were then performed on the inhibition halo diameter, scanning effects, and the appearance of mutant colonies, which were compared with those observed using the colorimetric Neo-Rapid CARB Kit and immunochromatography (NG5-Test Carba and K-Set for OXA-23). Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed for these data.
    Results: Carbapenemases were expressed by 79/175 (45.1%): 19 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 60 Acinetobacter baumannii. Optimal inhibition halo diameter cutoffs to detect this resistance on 5% sheep blood agar were as follows: 6 mm (MEM) and 6.5 mm (FEP) for P. aeruginosa (in the absence of scanning effects and mutations) and 10.5 mm (MEM) and 16 mm (FEP) for A. baumannii (even in the presence of scanning effects).
    Conclusion: The combined utilization of MEM and FEP antibiotic disks in 5% sheep blood agar, measuring their inhibition haloes, offers an effective method to predict the presence of carbapenemases as resistance mechanism in P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii.

    Abstract Background: Ageing entails changes in complex cognitive functions that lead to a decrease in autonomy and quality of life. Everyday cognition is the ability to solve cognitively complex problems in the everyday world, enabling instrumental activities of life. Benefits have been found in studies using everyday cognition-based assessment and intervention, as the results predict improvements in everyday performance, not just in specific cognitive functions. A study protocol is presented based on assessment and training in everyday cognition versus traditional cognitive stimulation for the improvement of functionality, emotional state, frailty and cognitive function.
    Methods: A parallel randomised controlled clinical trial with two arms will be conducted. It will be carried out by the University of Salamanca (Spain) in eleven centres and associations for the elderly of the City Council of Salamanca. People aged 60 years or older without cognitive impairment will be recruited. Participants will be randomly distributed into two groups: the experimental group will undergo a training programme in everyday cognition and the control group a programme of traditional cognitive stimulation, completing 25 sessions over 7 months. All participants will be assessed at the beginning and at the end of the intervention, where socio-demographic data and the following scales will be collected: The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS), Questionnaire ARMS-e, Everyday Cognition Test (PECC), Scale Yesavage, Test Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), The Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Fragility Index and Lawton y Brody Scale.
    Discussion: The present study aims to improve conventional clinical practice on cognitive function training by proposing a specific assessment and intervention of everyday cognition based on the importance of actual cognitive functioning during the resolution of complex tasks of daily life, giving priority to the improvement of autonomy.

    Abstract Diabetes has been associated with affective disorders which complicate the management of the disease. Emotional intelligence (EI), or the ability to perceive, facilitate, understand, and regulate emotions, has shown to be a protective factor of emotional disorders in general population. The main objective of this study was to systematically review the role of the EI construct in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics and to observe how EI is related to biological and psychological variables. Comprehensive searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, PsycInfo, and Cochrane without time limitations, for studies examining the link between diabetes and EI. A total of 12 eligible studies were selected according to the inclusion criteria. We divided the results into four sections: (1) EI and hemoglobin glycosylated (HbA1c), (2) EI training effects, (3) differences in EI between persons with diabetes and without diabetes, and (4) EI and psychological adjustment and well-being. The results showed negative correlations between EI and HbA1c, positive effects of EI training on quality of life, anxiety, and glycemic control, no differences in EI between people with diabetes and healthy individuals, and, finally, negative correlations between EI and different psychological variables such as diabetes-related anxiety and distress, and positive correlations with quality of life, well-being, and marital satisfaction. This systematic review offers a starting point for a theoretical and practical understanding of the role played by EI in the management of diabetes and reveals that EI is a promising protective factor for biological and psychological variables in this population.
