    Abstract Temperature management has been used in patients with acute brain injury resulting from different conditions, such as post-cardiac arrest hypoxic-ischaemic insult, acute ischaemic stroke, and severe traumatic brain injury. However, current evidence offers inconsistent and often contradictory results regarding the clinical benefit of this therapeutic strategy on mortality and functional outcomes. Current guidelines have focused mainly on active prevention and treatment of fever, while therapeutic hypothermia (TH) has fallen into disuse, although doubts persist as to its effectiveness according to the method of application and appropriate patient selection. This narrative review presents the most relevant clinical evidence on the effects of TH in patients with acute neurological damage, and the pathophysiological concepts supporting its use.

    Abstract This study examines how green bonds and environmental, social and governance (ESG) stock market returns have reacted to the COVID-19 crisis in the US. Unlike the Standard and Poor's (S&P) 500 index, the response of green bonds and ESG markets to pandemic progress is nonlinear: A low (large) level of confirmed new cases of COVID-19 has a positive (negative) impact. Furthermore, the implemented containment policies (stringency measures and vaccination campaigns) are positively valued, but their simultaneous use is perceived by investors as a bad signal. Overall, our findings question the resilience of investments in green bonds and ESG markets.

    Abstract Objective: To determine the economic impact of the incremental consumption of resources for the diagnosis and treatment of anastomotic leak (AL) in patients after resection with anastomosis for colorectal cancer compared to patients without AL on the Spanish health system.
    Method: This study included a literature review with parameters validated by experts and the development of a cost analysis model to estimate the incremental resource consumption of patients with AL versus those without. The patients were divided into three groups: 1) colon cancer (CC) with resection, anastomosis and AL; 2) rectal cancer (RC) with resection, anastomosis without protective stoma and AL; and 3) RC with resection, anastomosis with protective stoma and AL.
    Results: The average total incremental cost per patient was €38,819 and €32,599 for CC and RC, respectively. The cost of AL diagnosis per patient was €1018 (CC) and €1030 (RC). The cost of AL treatment per patient in Group 1 ranged from €13,753 (type B) to €44,985 (type C + stoma), that in Group 2 ranged from €7348 (type A) to €44,398 (type C + stoma), and that in Group 3 ranged from €6197 (type A) to €34,414 (type C). Hospital stays represented the highest cost for all groups. In RC, protective stoma was found to minimize the economic consequences of AL.
    Conclusions: The appearance of AL generates a considerable increase in the consumption of health resources, mainly due to an increase in hospital stays. The more complex the AL, the higher the cost associated with its treatment. INTEREST OF THE STUDY: it is the first cost-analysis study of AL after CR surgery based on prospective, observational and multicenter studies, with a clear, accepted and uniform definition of AL and estimated over a period of 30 days.

    Abstract Appearance of alveolar protein-rich edema is an early event in the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Alveolar edema in ARDS results from a significant increase in the permeability of the alveolar epithelial barrier, and represents one of the main factors that contribute to the hypoxemia in these patients. Damage of the alveolar epithelium is considered a major mechanism responsible for the increased pulmonary permeability, which results in edema fluid containing high concentrations of extravasated macromolecules in the alveoli. The breakdown of the alveolar-epithelial barrier is a consequence of multiple factors that include dysregulated inflammation, intense leukocyte infiltration, activation of pro-coagulant processes, cell death and mechanical stretch. The disruption of tight junction (TJ) complexes at the lateral contact of epithelial cells, the loss of contact between epithelial cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), and relevant changes in the communication between epithelial and immune cells, are deleterious alterations that mediate the disruption of the alveolar epithelial barrier and thereby the formation of lung edema in ARDS.

    Abstract Introduction: Critical patients, despite initial recovery in the intensive care unit (ICU), may require readmission to the ICU or even die in the same hospital episode. The objectives are to determine the incidence and to identify risk factors for ICU readmission, and to determine hospital mortality.
    Methods: Observational cohort study of all patients admitted consecutively for more than 24hours to the ICU of the University Hospital of Getafe between April 1, 2018 and September 30, 2018 and discharged alive from their first ICU admission.
    Results: Of the 164 patients alive at ICU discharge, 14 (8.5%) were readmitted to ICU (2.4% at≤48hours). The adjusted risk of ICU readmission was higher in patients with disabling neurological deficits prior to ICU admission [odds ratio (OR) 7.96, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.55-40.92] or who received vasoactive drugs (OR 5.07, 95% CI 1.41-18.29) during their ICU stay. Readmitted patients had higher hospital mortality (4 of 14 [29%] versus 5 of 150 [3%], P<.001) and longer hospital stay (74.5 [37.5-99.75] days versus 16 [9-34] days, median [interquartile range], P=.001).
    Conclusions: Patients with disabling neurological deficits prior to hospital admission or who received vasoactive drugs during their ICU stay have a higher risk of readmission to the ICU, which increases hospital stay and mortality.

    Abstract Halophytes are capable of coping with excessive NaCl in their tissues, although some species may differ in their degree of salt tolerance. In addition, it is not clear whether they can tolerate other confounding factors and impurities associated with non-conventional waters. The experiment was performed in a greenhouse with Crithmum maritimum and Atriplex halimus plants, growing on soil and irrigated with two different water types: reclaimed wastewater (RWW) (EC: 0.8–1.2 dS m −1 ) and reverse osmosis brine (ROB) (EC: 4.7–7.9 dS m −1 ). Both species showed different physiological and nutritional responses, when they were irrigated with ROB. Atriplex plants reduced leaf water potential and maintained leaf turgor as consequence of an osmotic adjustment process. Atriplex showed higher intrinsic water use efficiency than Crithmum , regardless of the type of water used. In Crithmum , the water status and photosynthetic efficiency were similar in both treatments. Crithmum presented a higher leaf accumulation of B and Ca ions, while Atriplex a higher amount of K, Mg, Na and Zn. Crithmum plants irrigated with ROB presented higher concentrations of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid and trans-zeatin-glucoside, whereas abscisic acid concentration was lower. Atriplex showed a lower concentration of trans-zeatin-riboside and scopoletin. The characteristics associated to water irrigation did not influence negatively the development of any of these species, which confirms the use of brine as an alternative to irrigate them with conventional waters.
