    Abstract Background: Patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) often require hospital admission and experience sequelae such as chronic fatigue or low muscle mass.
    Objective: To analyze the functional capacity of a cohort of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 who required hospitalization.
    Design and setting: An observational descriptive study was conducted on post-COVID-19 patients referred to the Rehabilitation Department of Gregorio Marañón Hospital (Madrid, SPAIN).
    Methods: Cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, body composition, and perception of fatigue and dyspnea were analyzed. Furthermore, the existing correlations between clinical variables and physical conditions were analyzed.
    Results: Forty-two patients who required hospital admission (80 ± 22.45 days) or intensive care unit (ICU) admission (58 ± 10.52 days) were analyzed. They presented with decreased strength, respiratory capacity, and moderate-to-severe perceived fatigue. Additionally, an inverse correlation was found between right-handgrip strength and days in the ICU, as well as the 6-minute walk test for women. Similarly, strength and fitness were negatively associated with perceived fatigue.
    Conclusions: Post-COVID-19 patients showed low muscle function and low levels of physical fitness associated with high perceived fatigue.

    Abstract Purpose: Low-virulent microorganisms identified on pedicle screws by sonication fluid culture (SFC) are an important cause of implant loosening. While sonication of explanted material improves the detection rate, the risk of contamination exists and no standardized diagnostic criteria for chronic low-grade spinal implant-related infection (CLGSII) are stablished. Besides, the role of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in CLGSII has not been adequately investigated.
    Methods: Blood samples were collected prior to implant removal. To increase sensitivity, the explanted screws were sonicated and processed separately. Patients exhibiting at least one positive SFC were classified in the infection group (loose criteria). To increase specificity, the strict criteria only considered multiple positive SFC (≥ 3 implants and/or ≥ 50% of explanted devices) as meaningful for CLGSII. Factors which might promote implant infection were also recorded.
    Results: Thirty-six patients and 200 screws were included. Among them, 18 (50%) patients had any positive SFCs (loose criteria), whereas 11 (31%) patients fulfilled the strict criteria for CLGSII. Higher serum protein level was the most accurate marker for the preoperative detection of CLGSSI, exhibiting an area under the curve of 0.702 (loose criteria) and 0.819 (strict criteria) for the diagnosis of CLGSII. CRP only exhibited a modest accuracy, whereas PCT was not a reliable biomarker. Patient history (spinal trauma, ICU hospitalization and/or previous wound-related complications) increased the likelihood of CLGSII.
    Conclusion: Markers of systemic inflammation (serum protein level) and patient history should be employed to stratify preoperative risk of CLGSII and decide the best treatment strategy.

    Abstract Combinatorial optimization problems allow for modeling multiple situations in which proper allocation of resources is needed. For some real-world problems, the use of fuzzy elements in the models allows for incorporating certain levels of uncertainty to better approximate such real-world situations. One way to solve combinatorial optimization problems with fuzzy elements is the parametric approach, where it is necessary to define how to explore different relaxation levels using alpha-cuts. Researchers tend to select such alpha-cuts uniformly. The current investigation proposes a novel strategy for selecting alpha-cuts in the School Bus Routing Problem with fuzzy students' maximum walking distance. This proposal bases its foundations on the number of student-bus stop pairs available according to the different levels of relaxations allowed. Results demonstrate how the proposed strategy gives attractive solutions with more diverse trade-offs, contrasted with other methods in the literature. Furthermore, it decreases the computational cost for those instances where the maximum relaxation does not provide new pairs of students-bus stops.

    Abstract This report informs for the first time the chemical constituents of Diospyros xolocotzii and Diospyros digyna, the pesticidal and the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition potential of some compounds calculated by in silico approaches, the larvicidal activity against Spodoptera frugiperda of available compounds, the AChE inhibition of selected compounds, and the results of the molecular docking of the most active ones with this receptor. From the aerial parts of D. xolocotzii were isolated pentacyclic triterpenes (1-4, 6, 10, 11-13), phytosterols (15-17), and isodiospyrin (18), whereas the analysis of aerial parts of D. digyna conducted to the isolation of pentacyclic triterpenes (4, 5, 7-9, 11-14), (4S)-shinanolone (19), and scopoletin (20). For comparison purposes, origanal (21) was chemically prepared from 11. The in silico analysis showed that the tested compounds have pesticide potential. The larvicidal activities of 11>13>12 indicated that the increase of the oxidation degree at C-28 increases their bioactivity. Compounds 11 and 21 presented the higher inhibition in the acetylcholinesterase assay, and the higher binding energies, and for the interactionswith AChE by molecular docking. Both Diospyros species are sources of triterpenes with pesticidal potential and the molecular changes in lupane triterpenes correlate with the observed bioactivity and molecular docking.

    Abstract A fast and accurate assessment of liver steatosis is crucial during liver transplantation surgery as it can negatively impact its success. Recent research has shown that near-infrared (NIR) and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform mid-infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy could be used as real-time quantitative tools to assess steatosis during abdominal surgery. Here, in the frame of a clinical study, we explore the performance of NIR and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy for the direct assessment of steatosis in liver tissues. Results show that both NIR and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy are able to quantify the % of steatosis with cross-validation errors of 1.4 and 1.6%, respectively. Furthermore, the two portable instruments used both provided results within seconds and can be placed inside an operating room evidencing the potential of IR spectroscopy for initial characterization of grafts in liver transplantation surgery. We also evaluated the complementarity of the spectral ranges through correlation spectroscopy.
