Sostenibilidad del proyecto de regulación y modernización del canal de Terreu

El sistema de Riegos del Alto Aragón, con fuentes de suministro muy distantes de la zona regable, obliga a largas conducciones que dificultan el suministro de agua a las demandas reales de las zonas, tanto en lo referente al caudal como a la regulación del mismo. El Canal de Terreu con una longitud total de 49,220 Km pertenece al Sistema de Riegos del Alto Aragón, tiene su origen en el Canal del Cinca del que deriva su caudal actual, dominando una superficie de 25.101 hectáreas de regadío con una dotación de 0,67 l/s/Ha. En la gestión interna del Sistema de Riegos del Alto Aragón es común la regulación con embalses de los principales canales, tal y como sucede en la cola del canal del Cinca (Embalse de Valdabra) o en el Canal del Flumen (Embalse del Torrollón

Sars-Cov-2 Infection in Patients on Long-Term Treatment with Macrolides in Spain: A National Cross-Sectional Study

The aim of this study was to know the prevalence and severity of COVID-19 in patients treated with long-term macrolides and to describe the factors associated with worse outcomes. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Primary Care setting. Patients with macrolides dispensed continuously from 1 October 2019 to 31 March 2020, were considered. Main outcome: diagnosis of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Secondary outcomes: symptoms, severity, characteristics of patients, comorbidities, concomitant treatments. A total of 3057 patients met the inclusion criteria. Median age: 73 (64–81) years; 55% were men; 62% smokers/ex-smokers; 56% obese/overweight. Overall, 95% of patients had chronic respiratory diseases and four comorbidities as a median. Prevalence of COVID-19: 4.8%. This was in accordance with official data during the first wave of the pandemic. The most common symptoms were respiratory: shortness of breath, cough, and pneumonia. Additionally, 53% percent of patients had mild/moderate symptoms, 28% required hospital admission, and 19% died with COVID-19. The percentage of patients hospitalized and deaths were 2.6 and 5.8 times higher, respectively, in the COVID-19 group (p < 0.001). There was no evidence of a beneficial effect of long-term courses of macrolides in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection or the progression to worse outcomes in old patients with underlying chronic respiratory diseases and a high burden of comorbidity
