Autolesión y reconstrucción: Una perspectiva desde la teoría de los constructos personales
This paper considers the paradox of behaviour which is apparently self-destructive by drawing upon personal construct theory. A personal construct taxonomy of self-harm and suicide is presented, illustrated with quotes by people who have self-harmed. This theoretical perspective, and associated research findings, led to the development of a personal construct psychotherapeutic approach for people who self-harm, and the findings of a study evaluating this approach are reported.Este artículo analiza la paradoja del comportamiento aparentemente autodestructivo basándose en la teoría de los constructos personales. Se presenta una taxonomía de constructos personales sobre las autolesiones y el suicidio, ilustrada con citas de personas que se han autolesionado. Esta perspectiva teórica, junto con los resultados asociados de investigaciones previas, condujeron al desarrollo de un enfoque psicoterapéutico de los constructos personales para las personas que se autolesionan. Se presentan los resultados de un estudio que evalúa este enfoque
Friendly Residential Environments and Subjective Well-Being in Older People with and without Help Needs.
Previous studies have shown that friendly environments are associated with well-being and higher quality of life in older people. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between friendly environments and subjective well-being by segmenting the population according to the need for help in performing activities of daily living (ADLs) in a representative sample of people over 55 years of age in the Basque Country (Spain) (n = 2760). To determine the predictive power of friendliness on subjective well-being, two separate linear regression models were obtained according to the need for help in ADLs. The results obtained show a greater explanatory power of the model in the case of people who required help. However, in the case of people who do not need help, subjective health had a greater weight in the predictions. This paper’s findings support the greater importance of the characteristics of the physical and social environment, as people’s functional status worsens, with friendliness being an explanatory factor for people’s well-being as they age and their dependency increases.post-print399 K
Systematic review and meta-analysis showed that complementary and alternative medicines were not effective for infantile colic
Aim: Osteopathy and chiropractic techniques are used for babies for different rea-sons, but it is unclear how effective they are. The aim of this study was to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing crying time and increasing sleeping time in babies with infantile colic.Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted on infantile colic studies that used complementary and alternative medicine techniques as interven-tions. The outcome measures were hours spent crying and/or sleeping. We used the PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Osteopathic Medicine Digital Database and Google Scholar data-bases from inception to 11 November 2022.Results: The methodological quality of the randomised control trials ranged from fair to high. We focused on five studies with 422 babies. Complementary treatments failed to decrease the crying time (mean difference −1.08, 95% CI: −2.17 to 0.01, I2= 92%) and to increase sleeping time (mean difference 1.11, 95% CI: −0.20 to 2.41; I2: 91%), compared with no intervention. The quality of the evidence was rated as very low for both outcome measures.Conclusion: Osteopathy and chiropractic treatment failed to reduce the crying time and increase sleeping time in babies with infantile colic, compared with no additional intervention
Non-criteria obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome: how different is from Sidney criteria? A single-center study
This study aims to compare the demographic characteristics, clinical features, serology, and fetal-maternal outcomes between women with obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and those with non-criteria (NC)-APS and seronegative (SN)-APS. Two-hundred and sixty-three women with APS obstetric morbidity ever pregnant were included. Of those, 66 met the APS classification criteria, 140 were NC-APS, and 57 were SN-APS. Patients with other autoimmune diseases were excluded. Adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO) included early pregnancy loss, fetal death, preeclampsia, abruptio placentae, and preterm birth. The mean age of the study group was 33.6 ± 5.3 years, and patients were followed up for 129.5 ± 81.9 months. In the NC-APS group, 31 (22.1%) did not fulfill clinical and serological criteria (Subgroup A), 49 (35%) did meet clinical but not serologic criteria (Subgroup B), and 60 (42.9%) fulfilled the serologic criteria but not the clinical ones (Subgroup C). The cardiovascular risk burden was higher in the APS group, due to a higher proportion of smoking. Patients with criteria APS received more intensive treatment than patients in the other study groups. The addition of standard of care (SoC) treatment significantly improved live birth and decreased APO in all groups. Significant clinical differences were observed between the study groups. However, when treated with SoC, fetal-maternal outcomes were similar, with a significant improvement in live births and a decrease in APO. Risk stratification in patients with obstetric morbidity associated with APS can help individualize their treatment
Emotion Regulation as a Moderator of Outcomes of Transdiagnostic Group Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Emotional Disorders
The aim of this study was to examine the potential moderating effect of baseline emotion regulation skills¿cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression¿on the relation- ship between treatment allocation and treatment outcomes in primary care patients with emotional symptoms. A total of 631 participants completed scales to evaluate emotion regulation, anxiety, depression, functioning, and quality of life (QOL). The moderation analysis was carried out using the SPSS PROCESS macro, version 3.5. Expressive suppression was a significant moderator in the relationship between treatment allocation and treatment outcomes in terms of symptoms of anxiety (b = 0.530, p = .026), depression (b = 0.812, p = .004), and QOL (b = 0.156, p = .048). Cognitive reappraisal acted as a moderator only in terms of QOL (b = 0.217, p = .028). The findings of this study show that participants with higher scores of expres- sive suppression benefited more from the addition of trans- diagnostic cognitive-behavioral therapy to treatment as usual (TAU) in terms of anxiety and depressive symptoms, and QOL. Individuals with higher levels of cognitive reappraisal obtained a greater benefit in terms of QOL from the addition of psychological treatment to TAU. These results underscore the relevant role that emotion regulation skills play in the outcomes of psychological therapy for emotional symptoms
Association between Pseudomonas aeruginosa O-antigen serotypes, resistance profiles and high-risk clones: results from a Spanish nationwide survey
Objectives: To evaluate the correlation of O-antigen serotypes with resistance profiles and high-risk clones in a Spanish nationwide survey.
Methods: Up to 30 consecutive healthcare-associated Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were collected during October 2017 from each of 51 hospitals (covering all Spanish regions) with a total of 1445 isolates studied. MICs of 13 antipseudomonal agents and MDR/XDR profiles had been previously determined, as well as whole-genome sequences of 185 representative XDR isolates. O-antigen serotypes (O1–O16) were determined by agglutination using serotype-specific antisera (BioRad). The Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotyper (PAst) program was used for in silico serotyping.
Results: The most frequent serotypes were O6 (17.8%), O1 (15.4%) and O11 (13.3%). In contrast, the most frequent serotype among XDR isolates (17.3%) was O4 (34.1%), distantly followed by O11 (15.9%). Within serotypes, XDR phenotypes were more frequent for O12 (60.0%) and O4 (57.3%). The most frequent clone among the XDR isolates was ST175 (40.9%), followed by CC235 (10.7%), ST308 (5.2%) and CC111 (3.6%). Up to 81.6%of XDR ST175 isolates typed O4, whereas 18.4% were non-typeable. O4 genotype was detected in all sequenced (n=55) ST175 isolates. On the other hand, CC235 and ST308 were associated with O11, whereas CC111 was linked to serotype O12.
Conclusions: O4 serotype is linked to the MDR/XDR profile of widespread ST175 (typically only susceptible to colistin, amikacin and the novel combinations ceftolozane/tazobactam and ceftazidime/avibactam) and therefore, after local validation, its detection in the microbiology laboratory might be useful for guiding semi-empirical antipseudomonal therapies and infection control measures in Spanish hospitals
Cost‐effectiveness and cost‐utility evaluation of individual vs. group transdiagnostic psychological treatment for emotional disorders in primary care (PsicAP‐Costs): a multicentre randomized controlled trial protocol
Background: Emotional disorders are common, and they have become more prevalent since the COVID‐19 pan‐ demic. Due to a high attendance burden at the specialized level, most emotional disorders in Spain are treated in primary care, where they are usually misdiagnosed and treated using psychotropic drugs. This contributes to perpetu‐ ate their illness and increase health care costs. Following the IAPT programme and the transdiagnostic approach, the PsicAP project developed a brief group transdiagnostic cognitive‐behavioural therapy (tCBT) as a cost‐effective alternative. However, it is not suitable for everyone; in some cases, one‐on‐one sessions may be more effective. The objective of the present study is to compare, in cost‐benefit terms, group and individual tCBT with the treatment usu‐ ally administered in Spanish primary care (TAU). Methods: A randomized, controlled, multicentre, and single‐blinded trial will be performed. Adults with mild to moderate emotional disorders will be recruited and placed in one of three arms: group tCBT, individual tCBT, or TAU. Medical data and outcomes regarding emotional symptoms, disability, quality of life, and emotion regulation biases will be collected at baseline, immediately after treatment, and 6 and 12 months later. The data will be used to calcu‐ late incremental cost‐effectiveness and cost‐utility ratios. Discussion: This trial aims to contribute to clinical practice research. The involvement of psychologists in primary care and the implementation of a stepped‐care model for mental disorders are recommended. Group therapy and a transdiagnostic approach may help optimize health system resources and unblock waiting lists so that people can spend less time experiencing mental health problems.

HLA association with the susceptibility to anti-synthetase syndrome
Objective
To investigate the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) association with anti-synthetase syndrome (ASSD).
Methods
We conducted the largest immunogenetic HLA-DRB1 and HLA-B study to date in a homogeneous cohort of 168 Caucasian patients with ASSD and 486 ethnically matched healthy controls by sequencing-based-typing.
Results
A statistically significant increase of HLA-DRB1*03:01 and HLA-B*08:01 alleles in patients with ASSD compared to healthy controls was disclosed (26.2% versus 12.2%, P = 1.56E?09, odds ratio?OR [95% confidence interval?CI] = 2.54 [1.84?3.50] and 21.4% versus 5.5%, P = 18.95E?18, OR [95% CI] = 4.73 [3.18?7.05]; respectively). Additionally, HLA-DRB1*07:01 allele was significantly decreased in patients with ASSD compared to controls (9.2% versus 17.5%, P = 0.0003, OR [95% CI] = 0.48 [0.31?0.72]). Moreover, a statistically significant increase of HLA-DRB1*03:01 allele in anti-Jo-1 positive compared to anti-Jo-1 negative patients with ASSD was observed (31.8% versus 15.5%, P = 0.001, OR [95% CI] = 2.54 [1.39?4.81]). Similar findings were observed when HLA carrier frequencies were assessed. The HLA-DRB1*03:01 association with anti-Jo-1 was unrelated to smoking history. No HLA differences in patients with ASSD stratified according to the presence/absence of the most representative non-anti-Jo-1 anti-synthetase autoantibodies (anti-PL-12 and anti-PL-7), arthritis, myositis or interstitial lung disease were observed.
Conclusions
Our results support the association of the HLA complex with the susceptibility to ASS
Duración del período gestacional en la raza rubia gallega
Se realizó un estudio sobre la duración de la
gestación en la raza bovina Rubia Gallega explotada en
sistemas de producción tradicional en la provincia de Lugo.
Así mismo se valoraron distintos factores que pueden
afectar, en mayor o menor medida, a la duración de este
parámetro.
La duración de la gestación en esta raza fue de 291,41 días
comprobando que se ha producido un notable incremento
de la misma en los últimos años, probablemente debido a la
selección genética a la que ha sido sometida.
Se comprobó que la edad de la vaca, el genotipo fetal, el
sexo de la cría y la estación de parto condicionan, en mayor
o menor medida, la magnitud de este parámetr
