    Dentro del rico patrimonio histórico que atesora la Universidad de Sevilla, se encuentran los bienes heredados de la Exposición Iberoamericana de Sevilla en 1929. De aquella exposición, la Universidad posee las pinturas murales que decoraban el salón de honor del Teatro Coliseo España y los azulejos del mismo edificio, salvados de la demolición interior del inmueble en 1976 y que han sido objeto de una tesis de licenciatura dirigida por la profesora Mª Fernanda Morón de Castro. Este estudio se acerca a dicho teatro para analizar su historia, enumerando los avatares por los que ha pasado y siguiendo con una descripción arquitectónica muy detallada. Además, analiza la valoración del edificio, la originalidad, su autenticidad y la apreciación que los ciudadanos de Sevilla han hecho del mismo. La parte central y más importante del trabajo de investigación es el análisis de las pinturas murales obra de Francisco Hohenleiter y Castro, rescatadas del Salón de Honor del Teatro, y de los azulejos de Enrique Orce Mármol que decoraban el interior. El siguiente y último apartado profundiza en sus restauraciones y el estado de conservación de estas piezas en la actualidad. El Teatro Coliseo España se ha convertido en un referente de la destrucción patrimonial de la ciudad de Sevilla acaecida en la década de los 60. Su declaración como Monumento Histórico en 1971 no salvaguardó al edificio de una conservación integral y gracias a la petición de las pinturas murales y de los revestimientos cerámicos por la US, estas piezas se salvaron de su destrucción.Among the rich historical heritage kept by the University of Seville, we can find the works inherited from the Latin American Exhibition that took place in Seville in 1929. From that Exhibition, the university keeps the murals which decorated the Honour Room in Coliseo España theatre and the tiling of this same building saved from internal demolition in 1976 and which have been the main topic in a end-of-degree dissertation supervised by professor Mª Fernanda Morón de Castro. This research analyses the history of Coliseo España Theatre, listing the difficulties it went through and following with a detailed architectural description. Furthermore, it assesses the appraisement of the building, its originality, authentity and the opinion of the citizens of Seville from its opening in 1931. The central and most important part of this research is the analysis of the murals painted by Francisco Hohenleiter y Castro, rescued from the Honour Room in the Theatre and the tiling by Enrique Orce Mármol, which decorated the inside. The next and last part in this study focuses on the current condition of these pieces and the different restorations they have gone through. The Coliseo España Theatre has become a referent in the heritage destruction in the city of Seville suffered in the 1960s and how its declaration as Historical Monument in 1971 didn´t preserve it completely. Thanks to the request of the University of Seville the murals and ceramic tiling could be saved from their destruction

    Objective Validation of the intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) score in patients with a diagnosis of spontaneous ICH admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Results A total of 336 patients were included. 105 of whom underwent surgery. Median (IQR) age: 62 (50–70) years. APACHE-II: 21(15–26) points, GCS: 7 (4–11) points, ICH score: 2 (2–3) points. 11.1% presented with bilateral mydriasis on admission (mortality rate=100%). Intraventricular haemorrhage was observed in 58.9% of patients. In-hospital mortality was 54.17% while the APACHE-II predicted mortality was 57.22% with a standardised mortality ratio (SMR) of 0.95 (95% CI 0.81 to 1.09) and a Hosmer-Lemenshow test value (H) of 3.62 (no significant statistical difference, n.s.). 30-day mortality was 52.38% compared with the ICH score predicted mortality of 48.79%, SMR: 1.07 (95% CI 0.91 to 1.23), n.s. Mortality was higher than predicted at the lowest scores and lower than predicted in the more severe patients, (H=55.89, p<0.001), Gruppo Italiano per la Valutazione degli Interventi in Terapia Intensiva calibration belt (p<0.001). The area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.74 (95% CI 0.69 to 0.79). Conclusions ICH score shows an acceptable discrimination as a tool to predict mortality rates in patients with spontaneous ICH admitted to the ICU, but its calibration is suboptimal

    Para la gestión de los flujos turístico-recreativos en los espacios y monumentos naturales protegidos, su planificación medioambiental y el impulso del desarrollo local, la caracterización de los visitantes se revela como una necesidad básica. Cuando no cuentan con ésta, como es el caso del espacio de montaña media aquí estudiado, la planificación turística y medioambiental presenta notables deficiencias y los recursos patrimoniales y equipamientos de uso público suelen encontrarse infrautilizados y con problemas de funcionalidad y sostenibilidad, además de no responder adecuadamente a las expectativas de la demanda de visitantes. La aproximación que se realiza en este trabajo a la caracterización de ésta en este espacio natural protegido intenta orientar por ello sus políticas territoriales y sectoriales con incidencia en el turismo de naturaleza y su necesaria compatibilización con la conservación del patrimonio natural que le sirve de soporte y cualificaciónFor the management of tourist-recreational flows in protected natural areas, environmental planning and promotion of local development, the characterization of visitors is basic and when they do not have it, as the space studied, this planning suffers from deficiencies and its heritage resources and public use equipment are underutilized and do not always respond to demand expectations. The approach that is made in this paper to the characterization of this in this protected natural space tries to guide its territorial and sectoral policies with impact on nature tourism and its necessary compatibility with the conservation of the natural heritage that serves as support and qualificatio

    To our knowledge, this is the first study reported in the literature that has validated the Norma Latina Battery in a population of people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in Mexico. The objective of the study was to determine the discriminant validity of the Norma Latina Battery in a group of Mexican individuals with AD and a group of heathy controls (HC). The Norma Latina Battery was administered to 234 Mexican participants (117 HC and 117 individuals with AD). Results show that: (1) the Norma Latina Battery has high discriminative capacity between groups in all domains; (2) participants with AD presented worse scores in each of the cognitive domains compared to the HC and a greater number of low scores in each of the established thresholds or cut-off points; and finally, (3) the Norma Latina Battery had optimal sensitivity and specificity, especially when a set was observed ≥5 scores below the 10th percentile or ≥4 scores below the 5th percentile. In conclusion, it is recommended that both clinicians and researchers use this battery in the evaluation of Mexican people with AD to better understand the prognosis of the disease and its subsequent treatment

    Prevalence of bleeding secondary to anticoagulation and mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation admitted with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients admitted with severe COVID-19. However, there is limited data about the management of chronic anticoagulation therapy in these patients. We assessed the anticoagulation and incidence of major cardiovascular events in hospitalized patients with AF and COVID-19. We retrospectively investigated all consecutive patients with AF admitted with COVID-19 between March and May 2020 in 9 Spanish hospitals. We selected a control group of non-AF patients consecutively admitted with COVID-19. We compared baseline characteristics, incidence of major bleeding, thrombotic events and mortality. We used propensity score matching (PSM) to minimize potential confounding variables, as well as a multivariate analysis to predict major bleeding and death. 305 patients admitted with AF and COVID-19 were included. After PSM, 151 AF patients were matched with 151 control group patients. During admission, low-molecular-weight heparin was the principal anticoagulant and the incidence of major bleeding and mortality were higher in the AF group [16 (10.6%) vs 3 (2%), p=0.003; 52 (34.4%) vs 35 (23.2%), p=0.03, respectively]. The multivariate analysis showed the presence of AF as independent predictor of in-hospital major bleeding and mortality in COVID-19 patients. In AF group, a secondary multivariate analysis identified high levels of D-dimer as independent predictor of in-hospital major bleeding. AF patients admitted with COVID-19 represent a population at high risk for bleeding and mortality during admission. It seems advisable to individualize anticoagulation therapy during admission, considering patient specific bleeding and thrombotic risk.S

Published by BMJ.[Objective] We aimed to compare the response rates between two different hepatitis B virus vaccination schedules for cirrhotic subjects who were non-responders to the first three 40 µg doses (month 0-1-2), and identify factors associated with the final response.[Design] A total of 120 cirrhotic patients (72.5% decompensated) were randomised at a 1:1 ratio to receive a single 40 µg booster vaccination at month 6 (classical arm) versus an additional round of three new 40 µg doses administered at monthly intervals (experimental arm). The main outcome was the rate of postvaccinal anti-hepatitis B surface antibodies levels ≥10 mIU/mL.[Results] Efficacy by ITT analysis was higher in the experimental arm (46.7%) than in the classical one (25%); OR 2.63, p=0.013. The experimental arm increased response rates compared with the classical one from 31% to 68% (OR 4.72; p=0.007), from 24.4% to 50% (OR 3.09; p=0.012) and from 24.4% to 53.8% (OR 3.62; p=0.007), in Child A, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) <15 and MELD-Na<15 patients, respectively. Patients with more advanced liver disease did not benefit from the reinforced scheme. Both regimens showed similar safety profiles. Multivariable analysis showed that the experimental treatment was independently response associated when adjusted across three logistic regression models indicating equivalent cirrhosis severity.[Conclusion] For cirrhotic patients, the revaccination of non-responders to the first three dose cycle, with three additional 40 µg doses, achieved significantly better response rates to those obtained with an isolated 40 µg booster dose.[Trial registration number] NCT01884415.This study project was awarded competitive public funding for Independent Research from the Spanish Government Ministry of Health and Social Politics in 2011 via the Carlos III Health Institute (EC11-452).
