    Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, Cleveland Clinic has put in place several pulmonary function testing precautions to reduce the risk of infection. Precautions include efforts to perform only essential testing, wear personal protective equipment, reduce exposure to aerosolized particles, manage virtually by phone conference, conserve scare medications, clean equipment as recommended, consolidate testing, and defer testing.

    Title translation Arbovirus como amenaza para la seguridad transfusional en España: revisión narrativa.
    Abstract Arboviruses represent a threat to transfusion safety for several reasons: the presence of vectors and the notification of autochthonous cases in our region, the recent increase in the number of cases transmitted through blood and/or blood component transfusion, the high prevalence rates of RNA of the main arboviruses in asymptomatic blood donors, and their ability to survive processing and storage in the different blood components. In an epidemic outbreak caused by an arbovirus in our region, transfusion centres can apply different measures: reactive measures, related to donor selection or arbovirus screening, and proactive measures, such as pathogen inactivation methods. The study of the epidemiology of the main arboviruses and understanding the effectiveness of the different measures that we can adopt are essential to ensure that our blood components remain safe.

    Abstract In this work, we manage to disentangle the role of virus infectiousness and awareness-based human behavior in the COVID-19 pandemic. Using Bayesian inference, we quantify the uncertainty of a state-space model whose propagator is based on an unusual SEIR-type model since it incorporates the effective population fraction as a parameter. Within the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm, Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) may be used to evaluate the likelihood approximately. UKF is a suitable strategy in many cases, but it is not well-suited to deal with non-negativity restrictions on the state variables. To overcome this difficulty, we modify the UKF, conveniently truncating Gaussian distributions, which allows us to deal with such restrictions. We use official infection notification records to analyze the first 22 weeks of infection spread in each of the 27 countries of the European Union (EU). It is known that such records are the primary source of information to assess the early evolution of the pandemic and, at the same time, usually suffer underreporting and backlogs. Our model explicitly accounts for uncertainty in the dynamic model parameters, the dynamic model adequacy, and the infection observation process. We argue that this modeling paradigm allows us to disentangle the role of the contact rate, the effective population fraction, and the infection observation probability across time and space with an imperfect first principles model. Our findings agree with phylogenetic evidence showing little variability in the contact rate, or virus infectiousness, across EU countries during the early phase of the pandemic, highlighting the advantage of incorporating the effective population fraction into pandemic modeling for heterogeneity in both human behavior and reporting. Finally, to evaluate the consistency of our data assimilation method, we performed a forecast that adequately fits the actual data.
    Statement of significance: Data-driven and model-based epidemiological studies aimed at learning the number of people infected early during a pandemic should explicitly consider the behavior-induced effective population effect. Indeed, the non-isolated, or effective, fraction of the population during the early phase of the pandemic is time-varying, and first-principles modeling with quantified uncertainty is imperative for an adequate analysis across time and space. We argue that, although good inference results may be obtained using the classical SEIR type model, the model posed in this work has allowed us to disentangle the role of virus infectiousness and awareness-based human behavior during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in the European Union from official infection notification records.

    Abstract Neurodegeneration affects a large number of cell types including neurons, astrocytes or oligodendrocytes, and neural stem cells. Neural stem cells can generate new neuronal populations through proliferation, migration, and differentiation. This neurogenic potential may be a relevant factor to fight neurodegeneration and aging. In the last years, we can find growing evidence suggesting that melatonin may be a potential modulator of adult hippocampal neurogenesis. The lack of therapeutic strategies targeting neurogenesis led researchers to explore new molecules. Numerous preclinical studies with melatonin observed how melatonin can modulate and enhance molecular and signaling pathways involved in neurogenesis. We made a special focus on the connection between these modulation mechanisms and their implication in neurodegeneration, to summarize the current knowledge and highlight the therapeutic potential of melatonin.

    Abstract African swine fever virus (ASFV) genotype II has been present in wild boar in the European Union since 2014. Control measures have reduced the incidence of the ASF, but highly virulent as well as attenuated ASFV strains continue to circulate. We present the intraherd epidemiological parameters of low and highly virulent ASFV in wild boar from experimental data, and for the first time, evaluate the impact of attenuated strain circulation through unique deterministic compartmental model simulations under various potential scenarios and hypotheses. Using an estimated PCR infectious threshold of T

    Title translation Clinical and radiographic factors associated with failure of the dynamic hip screw system.
    Abstract Background: The most widely used fixation system for transtrochanteric fractures is the dynamic hip screw system, which has a failure prevalence of 10 to 17% and it is associated with the presence of clinical and radiographic factors.
    Objective: To evaluate the association of clinical and radiographic factors with the failure of the screw system in post-operative patients for transtrochanteric hip fracture.
    Material y methods: A case-control study was carried out. The inclusion criteria were: patients > 18 years, who underwent surgery due to transtrochanteric fracture, were treated with the hip screw system, and who attended the Trauma Service. The patient with failure of the hip screw system was selected as the case and the patient without failure of the system as control. The variables analyzed in these groups were: age, gender, body mass index and radiographic variables. Statistical analysis was performed with chi-squared and Mann-Whitney U.
    Results: 163 patients (median 73 years), 20 cases and 143 controls, were included. The radiographic factors with a significant association with hip screw system failure were the AO classification of fractures (p < 0.001), the tip apex distance (p = 0.03), the calcar-referenced tip apex (p = 0.02), the position of the screw (p < 0.001), and quality of reduction (p < 0.003). Clinical factors did not show a significant association.
    Conclusions: Radiographic factors are associated with failure in the hip screw system in patients in post-operative care due to transtrochanteric fracture.
