Abstract	Here, the microstructure and mechanical properties of a basalt with three alteration degrees (low, medium, and high) are studied, and these properties are compared to the alteration degree of the basalt. The representative samples of each alteration degree have been studied both in raw state as after a short ageing treatment with ethylene glycol. The properties studied are density, P-wave velocity (VP) and uniaxial compression strength (UCS). The microstructure has been studied via optical and scanning electron microscopy and X-ray computed microtomography (microCT), which also provides quantitative data on connected and non-connected porosity. The representative samples of the three alteration degrees show clear differences and Vₚ and UCS values are progressively lower as higher the alteration. The loss of the good properties of low altered basalt was due to smectites filling a dense network of micro- and nano-fractures that crossed the full rock. Smectites as alteration products of the basalt explained the behaviour of these rocks. With only three swelling–shrinking cycles of smectites, the porosity grew ~500% in the most altered sample, which explains the cohesion loss of the rock and its lower UCS. Statistical analysis showed the negative correlation among the connected porosity and the mechanical properties of these basalts.

Abstract	Background: Knee arthrodesis is a means of avoiding above-knee amputation after a prosthetic joint infection (PJI). The objective of this study was to analyze the results of floating knee arthrodesis in patients who had a history of aprosthetic knee infection. The analysis consisted of determining reinfection rates, functional results, and the survival of arthrodesis. Methods: There were 48 patients who underwent a cemented floating knee arthrodesis in cases of PJI retrospectively included in the study, having been operated on between 2012 and 2020. In addition to being evaluated clinically, analytically, and radiographically, the patients were assessed functionally by means of a newly-created scale. Results: At a mean follow-up of 4 years (1 year to 9 years), 7 patients suffered reinfection (14.6%). The recurrence of infection was not observed to be significantly affected by sex (P = .16), age(P = .09), or the type of surgery previously undergone (P = .18), nor was the McPherson Host Grade (P = .4) observed to have a significant effect. Patients who had a McPherson Limb Grade 3 were more likely to suffer reinfection than those with a McPherson Limb Grade 2 (P = .034). There were 26 patients (54%)fully evaluated and scored on the Knee Arthrodesis Functional Scale(BAOR). For 11 patients (42%), the results were evaluated as excellent, for 11 (42%) acceptable, for 3 (12%) low, and for 1(4%) poor. Conclusion: The arthrodesis nail is an effective and safe procedure for patients who have a recurrent PJI, providing an effective alternative when the criteria for a new revision total knee arthroplasty are not met.

Abstract	Introduction: Bone defects are one of the main limitations in orthopaedic surgery and traumatology. For this reason, multiple bone replacement systems have been developed, either by prosthetic implant or by substitution with osteoforming substances, whose limitations are their survival and lack of structurality, respectively. The objective of this work is the generation of a new material for the creation of biologically active structures that have sufficient tensile strength to maintain the structure during remodelling. Material and methods: A new filament based on the fusion of natural polylactide acid (PLA) powder was designed for the generation of pieces by means of fused deposition modelling (FDM) on which to carry out tensile mechanical tests of osteosynthesis material. A total of 13 groups with different cortical thickness, filling and layer height were carried out, with 10 tensile tests in each group, defining the tensile breaking limit for each group. The regression lines for each group and their mechanical resistance to traction on the filament used were determined. Results: The filament ratio per contact surface unit with the osteosynthesis used was the main determinant of the mechanical resistance to traction, either at the expense of the increase in cortical thickness or by the increase in the percentage of cancellous bone filling. Layer height had a minor effect on tensile strength. The regression value was high for cortical thickness and cancellous filling, being elements with a predictable biomechanical behaviour. Conclusions: The new methodology allows the creation of personalised neutral and implantable PLA bone matrices for the reconstruction of large bone defects by means of 3D printing by FDM with a mechanical resistance to traction greater than that of current biological support structures.

Abstract	The composition and seasonal changes of the fish assemblage in a coastal lagoon system in southeastern Gulf of California were assessed from December 2001 to July 2005. A total of 20,877 organisms belonging to 191 species and 47 families were analyzed. We determined that almost all the species inhabiting the system were found; however some rare species were not captured in our study. The majority of the species found were demersal but in every season at least one pelagic or benthopelagic species showed high abundances. The moonfish, Selene peruviana, was the most abundant species, whilst the puffer, Sphoeroides annulatus, was the main species in terms of biomass. The species composition changed seasonally; results from the Simpson diversity index and the cumulative species curve show that seasonally almost all the species in the system for a given season were found. These changes were also reflected in the multivariate results. The seasonal variations could be attributed to the migration of species out of the system as they grow and the arrival of new ones, which could also be related to temperature patterns since this environmental factor changes considerably through the year.

Abstract	Introduction: Patient compliance with oral nutritional supplements (ONS) is not optimal for meeting energy and nutritional requirements in a high proportion of patients with disease-related malnutrition (DRM). Energy density or prescribed volume of ONS may impact compliance. Methods: A randomized, open-label crossover trial was conducted in outpatients with DRM to compare compliance with a high energy-dense ONS (edONS, 2.4 kcal/mL) and a reference ONS (heONS, 2.0 kcal/mL; NCT05609006). Patients were randomly assigned to two 8-week treatment sequences of four-weeks periods: edONS + heONS (sequence A) or heONS + edONS (sequence B). Patients daily reported the amount of product left over gastrointestinal tolerance and satisfaction with ONS. A non-inferiority analysis was performed to compare the compliance rate (percentage of consumed energy over the prescribed) for each period and sequence. Results: Fifty-three patients were assigned to sequence A and 50 to sequence B (55.7 ± 13.9 years, 37.0% female, 67.1% oncology patients). In sequence A, the compliance rates were 88.6% ± 14.3% vs. 84.1 ± 21.8% ( Conclusion: Our findings highlight that edONS was non-inferior to heONS in terms of consumed energy over the prescribed, with a lower amount of edONS discarded, which suggests a higher efficiency of edONS.

Abstract	Biological parameters relating to the reproductive biology of Conguito Sea Catfish Cathorops liropus were investigated in 1979–1984 and 2015–2018 from an estuarine system on the northwestern Pacific coast of Mexico. In the first period, the spawning season occurred during the dry–warm season (April–June), according with the percentage of mature females and the highest gonadosomatic index (GSI) values. Mean TL was 12.3 cm, two cohorts were found, length at maturity was 18.6 cm, and fecundity was 24.47 oocytes/organism. In the second period, the spawning season extended to the rainy–warm season (July–November), as reflected by the percentage of mature females and the GSI values. Mean TL was 11.6 cm, length at maturity decreased to 17.1 cm, and fecundity decreased to 20.67 oocytes/organism, indicating a reduction in the size‐based indicators and a change in the spawning period and reproductive effort as time passed. The number of fishing skiffs increased from 1,103 in 1980 to 2,434 in 2019, representing a 220% increase, and the landings increased from 400 to 3,432 metric tons in the same period. Temporal trends in surface water temperature, salinity, and the Oceanic Niño Index did not explain the observed changes between the study periods. These results suggest that the observed changes in the reproductive potential of Conguito Sea Catfish have been at least partially due to fishing.

Abstract	The vesicular microstructure is a very distinctive arrangement of calcite, consisting of hollow cavities (vesicles) of diverse sizes and shapes, usually elongated in the direction of shell thickening. It is uniquely found among living bivalves in a single oyster family, Gryphaeidae. The vesicles are distributed in lenses interleaved with compact foliated layers. We have studied the morphology and distribution of vesicles within the lenses using optical and electron microscopy, and micro-computed tomography. At a small scale, vesicles do not follow a classical von Neumann-Mullins route typical of ideal foams. At a larger scale, the initiation and evolution of a vesicular layer statistically proceed like a foam, with vesicles becoming more numerous, larger and more even in size. In summary, the vesicular material follows a foam-like coarsening to reduce the number of energetically costly interfaces. However, a steady state is never reached because the animal permanently introduces energy in the system by creating new vesicles. The fabrication of the vesicular material is mediated by the production of an emulsion between the extrapallial fluid and the precursor PILP of the calcitic walls within the thin extrapallial space. For this mechanism to proceed, the mantle cells must perform highly sophisticated behaviours of contact recognition and secretion. Accordingly, the vesicular material is under mixed physical-biological control.

Abstract	Functional explanation has been regarded as a wrong kind of explanation in the social sciences, since it does not provide micro-foundations of social explanandum. This article suggests that the analytical explanation of certain social processes (“cumulative processes”) requires both the formulation of self-regulation hypothesis and the provision of mechanisms based on a reductionist, non-intentional, conception of action. These are, however, the main features of a right functional explanation. La explicación funcional se ha considerado una forma de explicación errónea en las ciencias sociales, ya que no proporciona los micro-fundamentos de un explanandum social. En este artículo se sugiere que la explicación analítica de ciertos procesos sociales (los “procesos cumulativos”) requiere tanto la formulación de hipótesis de autorregulación como la provisión de mecanismos basados en una concepción reduccionista, no intencional, de la acción. Estas son, sin embargo, las características principales de una explicación funcional correcta.
