Sintomatología psicológica en población reclusa del establecimiento carcelario de Bogotá

El principal objetivo de este estudio es establecer los síntomas psicológicos en la población reclusa del establecimiento carcelario de Bogotá. Este estudio (descriptivo-comparativo) incluyó una muestra total de 40 reclusos del sector norte y sur del EC de Bogotá. A los participantes se les aplicó el inventario SCL 90-R en su adaptación española. Los resultados mostraron una alta presencia de sintomatología, relacionada con la dimensión de psicoticismo, y de algunas otras que indican de manera directa el nivel de malestar o distrés global. Además, estos no arrojaron diferencias significativas entre los reclusos del sector norte y sur en lo referente a la sintomatología que presentaban. Por último, la mayoría de los participantes mostraron un estilo de respuesta aumentador (exageración) o de simulación

Psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on out-of-hospital health professionals: A living systematic review

Producción CientíficaHealth professionals (HPs), especially those working in the front line, have been one of the groups most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this study is to identify the best available scientific evidence on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of out-of-hospital HPs in terms of stress, anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy. A living systematic review of the literature was designed, consulting the electronic online versions of the CINHAL, Cochrane Library, Cuiden, IBECS, JBI, LILACS, Medline PyscoDoc, PsycoINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases in November 2021. Original research was selected, published in either English, Spanish, French, Italian, or Portuguese. In total, 2082 publications were identified, of which 16 were included in this review. The mental health of out-of-hospital HPs was affected. Being a woman or having direct contact with patients showing suspicious signs of COVID-19 or confirmed cases were the factors related to a greater risk of developing high levels of stress and anxiety; in the case of depressive symptoms, it was having a clinical history of illnesses that could weaken their defenses against infection. Stopping unpleasant emotions and thoughts was the coping strategy most frequently used by these HPs

Identification of Solanum pimpinellifolium genome regions for increased resilience to nitrogen deficiency in cultivated tomato

14 Pág.High-quality crop production with minimal fertilizer inputs is a key goal for the agriculture of the future. Globally, tomato is one of the most important vegetable crops and its intensive production and breeding has been based on the application of large quantities of nitrogen (N) fertilizers. Therefore, the development of N use efficient (NUE) cultivars with low N inputs needs to be addressed. Some variability in plant growth, fruit quality and NUE traits among tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) varieties under low N supply has been reported, however, the relevance of wild relatives of tomato has not yet been assessed. In this study, we found that S. pimpinellifolium accession To-937 (SP) may be a suitable resource to increase NUE in tomato. We studied a set of 29 introgression lines (IL) from SP into the Moneymaker cultivar (MM) in different seasons to investigate the potential of SP introgressions to maintain the tomato plant performance during the growth cycle under low N input in greenhouse conditions. We identified specific regions in the SP genome, on chromosomes 1, 3 and 10, involved in the responses to N inputs of fruit production and fruit quality. Notably, the line SP_10-4 maintained vegetative biomass and fruit yield production under limiting N supply. The introgressed region contained putative candidate genes as sucrose phosphate phosphatase (SPP), invertases (INV) and glutamine synthase 1 (GS1) genes, implicated in C and N metabolism. Genomic and expression analyses revealed differences in coding and non-coding sequences as well as in mRNA levels in SP_10-4, suggesting that these genes might well contribute to the reported biomass responses to N. Additionally, line SP_1-4 showed stable fruit amino acid contents under both sufficient and limiting N supplies, indicating that assimilated N partitioning to the fruit is maintained in response to N. Altogether, our results confirmed the suitability of SP as a source of NUE related traits and the interest in the studied ILs for developing new tomato cultivars with improved NUE under sustainable fertilization conditions.This work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MCIN) and the Agencia Estatal de Investigación (grants RTA2015-00014-c02-00 to SGN and JM, PID2020-114165RR-C21 to JM, and PID2022-136541OB-I00 to SGN), the Agroalnext program (MCIN with funding of NextGenEU-PRTR-C17.I1 Generalitat Valenciana AGROALNEXT/2022/056 to SGN), Vicerrectorado de Investigación de la Universitat Politècnica de València (PAID-11-21 to SGN; PAID-10-20 and PAID-PD-22 to RM), Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (TED2021-129296B-I00 to SGN) and European Commission H2020 research and innovation program through HARNESSTOM grant agreement no. 101000716 (to AG) and RoxyCOST CA18210 for networking activities (to AG).

Morphofunctional and Molecular Assessment of Nutritional Status in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Undergoing Systemic Treatment: Role of Inflammasome in Clinical Nutrition

Malnutrition in patients with head and neck cancer is frequent, multifactorial and widely associated with clinical evolution and prognosis. Accurate nutritional assessments allow for early identification of patients at risk of malnutrition in order to start nutritional support and prevent sarcopenia. We aimed to perform a novel morphofunctional nutritional evaluation and explore changes in inflammasome-machinery components in 45 patients with head and neck cancer who are undergoing systemic treatment. To this aim, an epidemiological/clinical/anthropometric/biochemical evaluation was performed. Serum RCP, IL6 and molecular expression of inflammasome-components and inflammatory-associated factors (NOD-like-receptors, inflammasome-activation-components, cytokines and inflammation/apoptosis-related components, cell-cycle and DNA-damage regulators) were evaluated in peripheral-blood mononuclear-cells (PBMCs). Clinical-molecular correlations/associations were analyzed. Coherent and complementary information was obtained in the morphofunctional nutritional assessment of the patients when bioimpedance, anthropometric and ultrasound data were analyzed. These factors were also correlated with different biochemical and molecular parameters, revealing the complementary aspect of the whole evaluation. Serum reactive C protein (RCP) and IL6 were the most reliable parameters for determining patients with decreased standardized phase angle, which is associated with increased mortality in patients with solid malignancies. Several inflammasome-components were dysregulated in patients with malnutrition, decreased phase angle and dependency grade or increased circulating inflammation markers. A molecular fingerprint based on gene-expression of certain inflammasome factors (p27/CCL2/ASC) in PBMCs accurately differentiated patients with and without malnutrition. In conclusion, malnutrition induces a profound alteration in the gene-expression pattern of inflammasome-machinery components in PBMCs. A comprehensive nutritional assessment including novel morphofunctional techniques and molecular markers allows a broad characterization of the nutritional status in cancer patients. Profile of certain inflammasome-components should be further studied as potential targets for nutrition-focused treatment strategies in cancer patients
