Abstract	Quantitative and qualitative analyses of planktonic foraminiferal assemblages from 134 core-top sediment samples collected along the western Iberian margin were used to assess the latitudinal and longitudinal changes in surface water conditions and to calibrate a Sea Surface Temperature (SST) transfer function for this seasonal coastal upwelling region. Q-mode factor analysis performed on relative abundances yielded three factors that explain 96% of the total variance: factor 1 (50%) is exclusively defined by Globigerina bulloides, the most abundant and widespread species, and reflects the modern seasonal (May to September) coastal upwelling areas; factor 2 (32%) is dominated by Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (dextral) and Globorotalia inflata and seems to be associated with the Portugal Current, the descending branch of the North Atlantic Drift; factor 3 (14%) is defined by the tropical-sub-tropical species Globigerinoides ruber (white), Globigerinoides trilobus trilobus, and G. inflata and mirrors the influence of the winter-time eastern branch of the Azores Current. In conjunction with satellite-derived SST for summer and winter seasons integrated over an 18?year period the regional foraminiferal data set is used to calibrate a SST transfer function using Imbrie & Kipp, MAT and SIMMAX(ndw) techniques. Similar predicted errors (RMSEP), correlation coefficients, and residuals' deviation from SST estimated for both techniques were observed for both seasons. All techniques appear to underestimate SST off the southern Iberia margin, an area mainly occupied by warm waters where upwelling occurs only occasionally, and overestimate SST on the northern part of the west coast of the Iberia margin, where cold waters are present nearly all year round. The comparison of these regional calibrations with former Atlantic and North Atlantic calibrations for two cores, one of which is influenced by upwelling, reveals that the regional one attests more robust paleo-SSTs than for the other approaches.

Abstract	Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF), either chronic or new onset, is common in critically ill patients. Its epidemiology and relationship with clinical outcomes are poorly known. Objective: To understand the burden of AF in patients admitted to the ICU and its impact on patients' outcomes. Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study evaluating all patients with AF admitted to a non-cardiac intensive care unit over the course of 54 months. Clinical outcomes were evaluated in the short (hospital discharge) and long term (two-year follow-up). The hazard ratio (HR) with 95% CI was computed for the whole population as well as for propensity score-matched patients, with or without AF. Results: A total of 1357 patients were screened (59.1% male), with a mean age of 75 ± 15.2 years, length of intensive care unit stay of 4.7 ± 5.1 days, and hospital mortality of 26%. A diagnosis of AF was found in 215 patients (15.8%), 142 of whom had chronic AF. The hospital all-cause mortality was similar in patients with chronic or new-onset AF (31% vs. 28.8%, p = 0.779). Patients with AF had higher in-hospital, one-year, and two-year crude mortality (30.2% vs. 22.9%, p = 0.024; 47.9% vs. 35.3%, p = 0.001; 52.6% vs. 38.4%, p < 0.001). However, after propensity score matching (N = 213), this difference was no longer significant for in-hospital mortality (OR: 1.17; 95% CI: 0.77-1.79), one-year mortality (OR: 1.38; 95% CI: 0.94-2.03), or two-year mortality (OR: 1.30; 95% CI: 0.89-1.90). Conclusions: In ICU patients, the prevalence of AF, either chronic or new-onset, was 15.8%, and these patients had higher crude mortality. However, after adjustment for age and severity on admission, no significant differences were found in the short- and long-term mortality.

Abstract	Medical adhesives are emerging as an important clinical tool as adjuvants for sutures and staples in wound closure and healing and in the achievement of hemostasis. However, clinical adhesives combining cytocompatibility, as well as strong and stable adhesion in physiological conditions, are still in demand. Herein, a mussel-inspired strategy is explored to produce adhesive coacervates using tannic acid (TA) and methacrylate pullulan (PUL-MA). TA\|PUL-MA coacervates mainly comprise van der Waals forces and hydrophobic interactions. The methacrylic groups in the PUL backbone increase the number of interactions in the adhesives matrix, resulting in enhanced cohesion and adhesion strength (72.7 Jm

Abstract	Decellularized dermal matrices (dDMs) have emerged as effective biomaterials that can revolutionize regenerative medicine, particularly in the field of wound healing and tissue regeneration. Derived from animal or human skin, dDMs offer great biocompatibility, remarkable biochemistry, and a macromolecular architecture equivalent to the native tissue. Notably, among the biomimetic extracellular matrix (ECM)-based scaffolds, dDMs stand out due to their inherent dermal microenvironment, holding high value for skin regeneration and reconstructive surgery. The integration of dDMs as a biomaterial base for bioinks in advanced manufacturing technologies opens promising avenues for crafting precise, biomimetic tissue engineering (TE) constructs with optimized recellularization properties. This mini review outlines the main sources, differential decellularization techniques applied to dDMs, and their significance intissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It subsequently delves into the different categories of decellularized materials obtained, their unique physical and biochemical attributes, as well as their applications to promote wound healing and regenerating skin and soft tissues. Additionally, the currently available market products based on dDMs are examined and the main outcomes are compared. Finally, the article highlights current barriers in the field and anticipates the future challenges and applications of dDMs-based therapies.

Abstract	Genomics has significantly impacted the field of medicine, with advances in DNA sequencing leading to personalized medicine and a deeper understanding of the genomic basis of various diseases. The ability to share genomic data is crucial for advancing this field and developing new approaches to understanding the genome. However, the sensitive nature of this data requires secure methods for protecting it during storage and transfer. In this paper, we present a new tool for the secure encryption and decryption of FASTA files without sharing a common secret and with a reduced number of shared keys between the pairs. Our proposal combines symmetric and asymmetric encryption techniques, including the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) cypher and RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman). The tool is fast, reliable, and secure, outperforming existing tools in terms of security and ease of use. This makes it a valuable solution for the secure sharing and use of sensitive genomic data, representing a significant advancement in the field of genomics.

Abstract	Introduction and objectives: Dietary supplements are part of the nutritional strategies frequently applied in sports performance support. With growing research on this subject and high demand from athletes, nutritionists need to keep up to date with the latest evidence and utility of dietary supplements, particularly in real-world contexts. As information about the use of dietary supplements among elite soccer players is still scarce, this work aimed to know how nutritionists working with elite soccer teams perceive and use these substances in their daily practice. Methods: A questionnaire previously used to describe nutritionists' beliefs and attitudes regarding the use of dietary supplements in a clinical context was adapted for this study. The online questionnaire was addressed to nutritionists working with elite soccer teams from six European Leagues and Brazil, between November 2022 and February 2023. Results: Overall, the participants considered themselves well-trained (76.9%), knowledgeable (95.4%), and interested in dietary supplements (95.4%). The majority (70.8%) of the participants agreed or strongly agreed to recommend dietary supplements to soccer players. Personal usage of dietary supplements was associated with recommending supplements ( Discussion: Nutritionists working with elite soccer players consider the use of dietary supplements for performance-enhancement purposes and not only to compensate for nutritional deficits, which might contribute to their higher interest, training and perceived knowledge about this topic. Participants recognize players' interest in dietary supplements, and are mindful of the safety and efficacy of these products. The present study suggests that nutritionists working with elite soccer teams are among the highest prescribers of dietary supplements, although personal usage is lower than that of nutritionists working in a clinical context.

Abstract	The advances in morphodynamics numerical modelling and the free availability of such updated models have made XBeach a powerful tool to predict the hydrodynamic and morphologic processes on sandy coasts. This paper addresses the impact of the sea-structure-sediments interactions in the morphological evolution of a coastal stretch which undergoes erosion and overtopping despite having a combined groyne field-dune-seawall defence scheme. Preliminary tests, tailored to conclude on the model mode-version to be applied in the case study, evidence the importance of considering the NH mode. After calibrated and validated, the model was applied for a set of cases to compute and discuss the effect of the individual defence scheme structural elements and the hydrodynamic driving factors, namely the wave energy and obliquity and the tidal range, on the morphodynamics. The results revealed that the seawall aggravates the erosion of the beach, despite being essential in the protection against overtopping and coastline retreat, and that the present configuration of the groyne field does not provide enough protection at the downdrift part of the stretch. The knowledge acquired can support the interpretation of the topo-bathymetric behaviour in similar coastal defence schemes existent worldwide.
