Impact of Activity-Oriented Propioceptive Antiedema Therapy on the Health-Related Quality of Life of Women with Upper-Limb Lymphedema Secondary to Breast Cancer—A Randomized Clinical Trial

Alterations derived from lymphedema in the upper-limb secondary to breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) decrease the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), but there is limited evidence of the impact of the different interventions on it. The aim of this research was to compare the effect of conventional treatment with another treatment based on Activity-Oriented Antiedema Proprioceptive Therapy (TAPA) on HRQoL in women diagnosed with BCRL.This research was funded by the Call for research and innovation projects in the field of primary care, regional hospitals and high-resolution hospital centres of the Public Health System of Andalusia in 2021 by the Progreso y Salud Foundation, of the Ministry of Health and Families of the Junta de Andalucía, with EXP.

He has also been awarded a scholarship by the Professional Association of Occupational Therapists of Extremadura (COPTOEX) (Spain) call 2020 and awarded a financial contribution from the Research Group in Primary Health Care of Aragon (GAIAP-B21-17R group), recognized and financed by the Government of Aragón (Spain) and by Feder Funds “Another way of making Europe”

Treatment with tocilizumab or corticosteroids for COVID-19 patients with hyperinflammatory state: a multicentre cohort study (SAM-COVID-19)

Objectives: The objective of this study was to estimate the association between tocilizumab or corticosteroids and the risk of intubation or death in patients with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) with a hyperinflammatory state according to clinical and laboratory parameters. Methods: A cohort study was performed in 60 Spanish hospitals including 778 patients with COVID-19 and clinical and laboratory data indicative of a hyperinflammatory state. Treatment was mainly with tocilizumab, an intermediate-high dose of corticosteroids (IHDC), a pulse dose of corticosteroids (PDC), combination therapy, or no treatment. Primary outcome was intubation or death; follow-up was 21 days. Propensity score-adjusted estimations using Cox regression (logistic regression if needed) were calculated. Propensity scores were used as confounders, matching variables and for the inverse probability of treatment weights (IPTWs). Results: In all, 88, 117, 78 and 151 patients treated with tocilizumab, IHDC, PDC, and combination therapy, respectively, were compared with 344 untreated patients. The primary endpoint occurred in 10 (11.4%), 27 (23.1%), 12 (15.4%), 40 (25.6%) and 69 (21.1%), respectively. The IPTW-based hazard ratios (odds ratio for combination therapy) for the primary endpoint were 0.32 (95%CI 0.22-0.47; p < 0.001) for tocilizumab, 0.82 (0.71-1.30; p 0.82) for IHDC, 0.61 (0.43-0.86; p 0.006) for PDC, and 1.17 (0.86-1.58; p 0.30) for combination therapy. Other applications of the propensity score provided similar results, but were not significant for PDC. Tocilizumab was also associated with lower hazard of death alone in IPTW analysis (0.07; 0.02-0.17; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Tocilizumab might be useful in COVID-19 patients with a hyperinflammatory state and should be prioritized for randomized trials in this situatio

CARB-ES-19 Multicenter Study of Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli From All Spanish Provinces Reveals Interregional Spread of High-Risk Clones Such as ST307/OXA-48 and ST512/KPC-3

ObjectivesCARB-ES-19 is a comprehensive, multicenter, nationwide study integrating whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in the surveillance of carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (CP-Kpn) and E. coli (CP-Eco) to determine their incidence, geographical distribution, phylogeny, and resistance mechanisms in Spain.MethodsIn total, 71 hospitals, representing all 50 Spanish provinces, collected the first 10 isolates per hospital (February to May 2019); CPE isolates were first identified according to EUCAST (meropenem MIC &gt; 0.12 mg/L with immunochromatography, colorimetric tests, carbapenem inactivation, or carbapenem hydrolysis with MALDI-TOF). Prevalence and incidence were calculated according to population denominators. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using the microdilution method (EUCAST). All 403 isolates collected were sequenced for high-resolution single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing, core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), and resistome analysis.ResultsIn total, 377 (93.5%) CP-Kpn and 26 (6.5%) CP-Eco isolates were collected from 62 (87.3%) hospitals in 46 (92%) provinces. CP-Kpn was more prevalent in the blood (5.8%, 50/853) than in the urine (1.4%, 201/14,464). The cumulative incidence for both CP-Kpn and CP-Eco was 0.05 per 100 admitted patients. The main carbapenemase genes identified in CP-Kpn were blaOXA–48 (263/377), blaKPC–3 (62/377), blaVIM–1 (28/377), and blaNDM–1 (12/377). All isolates were susceptible to at least two antibiotics. Interregional dissemination of eight high-risk CP-Kpn clones was detected, mainly ST307/OXA-48 (16.4%), ST11/OXA-48 (16.4%), and ST512-ST258/KPC (13.8%). ST512/KPC and ST15/OXA-48 were the most frequent bacteremia-causative clones. The average number of acquired resistance genes was higher in CP-Kpn (7.9) than in CP-Eco (5.5).ConclusionThis study serves as a first step toward WGS integration in the surveillance of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in Spain. We detected important epidemiological changes, including increased CP-Kpn and CP-Eco prevalence and incidence compared to previous studies, wide interregional dissemination, and increased dissemination of high-risk clones, such as ST307/OXA-48 and ST512/KPC-3

Planning, surveying, modelling and visualization techniques in the field of cultural heritage

Tesis por compendio de publicaciones[EN] The continued advances and developmets in 3D recording, modeling and visualization techniques have opened up new ways of conveying information. On the one hand, geotechnologies are fundamental to 3D recording and modeling due to their being highly accurate, non-invasive and non-contact techniques. A wide range of active and passive sensors enable the recording of 3D information using aerial, mobile or terrestrial systems. The geometric and radiometric information generated allows for the creation of a faithful 3D representation of reality, which is accurate, detailed and photo-realistic and thus useful for documentation, conservation, study and analysis of the object in scene in question. Vast and complex datasets are generated, which point to optimization as the key phase of processing. For a correct management and visualization of real-time data, it is necessary to reduce the final weight of the product without losing significant details. The strength of geotechnologies has been demostrated in countless fields of work from - among others - civil engineering and forestry, to geology or achaeology. On the other hand, new 3D visualization techniques permit the exploration of digital objects and navigation of reconstructed scenes while new devices allow the management and visualization of data in an interactive and/or immersive way. 3D visualization techniques and devices are employed to best effect in the design and development of video games, however their uses are rapidly diversifying and it is becoming more and more common to find them in different areas, from medicine to tourism, from simulation to archaeology. The presented Doctoral Thesis applies 3D recording, modeling and visualization techniques to different scales of size (artefact, architecture and landscape), while always focusing on the field of Cultural Heritage. The main goal is the research of the most suitable solution based on the case study and integrating, where necessary, different sensors, techniques and/or devices that allow an efficient management and dissemination of heritage information.[ES] El constante avance y desarrollo en técnicas de digitalización, modelación y visualización 3D abre nuevas vías de comunicación para la información. Por una parte, las geotecnologías se consolidan fundamentales para la digitalización y la modelación, por ser técnicas de alta precisión, no invasivas y de no contacto. Una amplia gama de sensores activos y pasivos permiten registrar la información 3D, mediante el uso de sistemas aéreos, móviles o terrestres. La información geométrica y radiométrica generada permite crear una fiel representación de la realidad, precisa, detallada y foto-realística, siendo de gran utilidad para la documentación, la conservación, el estudio y el análisis del objeto u escena en cuestión. Se generan complejos y pesados conjuntos de datos, que apuntan a la optimización como fase clave del procesado, donde es necesario reducir el peso final del producto sin perder detalles significantes, para una correcta gestión y visualización de los datos en tiempo real. La solidez de las geotecnologías queda demostrada en innumerables áreas de trabajo, desde la ingeniería civil y forestal, hasta la geología u arqueología, entre otros. Por otra parte, las nuevas técnicas de visualización 3D permiten explorar objetos y navegar a través de escenas reconstruidas digitalmente, al tiempo que emergen nuevos dispositivos que permiten gestionar y visualizar la información de forma interactiva y/o inmersiva. Las técnicas y dispositivos de visualización 3D encuentran su principal campo de aplicación en el diseño y desarrollo de video juegos, su uso se extiende rápidamente y es cada vez más frecuente encontrarlas en diferentes campos como la medicina, el turismo, la simulación o la arqueología. La presente Tesis Doctoral aplica las técnicas de digitalización, modelación y visualización 3D a diferentes escalas (artefacto, arquitectura y paisaje) y siempre focalizadas en el campo del Patrimonio Cultural. El objetivo es la búsqueda de la solución más adecuada en función del caso de estudio, integrando, donde fuera necesario, diferentes sensores, técnicas y/o dispositivos que permitan una eficiente gestión y divulgación de la información del patrimonio

Testing GoPro for 3D model reconstruction in narrow spaces

The main objective of this paper is to analyse the potential as well as the limitations of an action camera (GoPro Hero 3 Black) in photogrammetric applications for architectural cultural heritage reconstruction. The investigations were carried out in a site of notable historical interest, "Villa di Giulia Felice" in Pompeii. In order to estimate the work pipeline, the time-consuming processing and the output product accuracy using fisheye camera images, three commercial image processing software packages were tested: Agisoft PhotoScan, Pix4Dmapper and 3DF Zephyr Aerial. Several comparisons among the final 3D models produced have been developed and the results achieved. Despite the problems found related to lens distortion and the small distance from the camera to the object (average distance ~80 cm), the test provided good results in terms of accuracy (average error [2-3.5] cm) and reliability
