RESUMEN
The study of the microbiota and the microbiome, and specifically the intestinal one, has determined great interest due to the possible association of their alterations with numerous diseases. These include entities as diverse as Crohn's disease, autism, diabetes, cancer or situations as prevalent today as obesity. In view of this situation, different recommendations have been performed regarding the use of probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics as modulators of the microbiota and the microbiome, seeking both preventive and therapeutic effects, and faecal material transfer (FMT) is proposed as an alternative. The latter has emerged as the only proven beneficial intervention on the intestinal microbiome, specifically in the treatment of recurrent colitis associated with Clostridioides difficile (R-CDI). In the rest of the entities, the lowering of laboratory costs has favored the study of the microbiome, which is resolved by delivering reports with catalogs of microorganisms, metabolites or supposed biomarkers without consensus on their composition associated with healthy or diseased microbiota and the disease. There is still insufficient evidence in any disease for interventions on the microbiome beyond FMT and R-CDI. Multi- and multi-disciplinary work with extensive research and the application of artificial intelligence in this field may shed light on the questions raised currently. Ethical issues must also be resolved in light of possible interventions within the umbrella of personalized medicine.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The aim of this multicentre study was to analyse the outcomes of biosynthetic absorbable poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) prosthesis implantation in patients undergoing ventral hernia repair (VHR) in the context of different degrees of contamination. METHODS: From May 2016 to December 2021, a multicentre retrospective analysis of patients who underwent elective or urgent hernia repair with P4HB prosthesis was performed in seven hospitals in Spain and Portugal. Patients with a postoperative follow-up of less than 20 months and those within the theoretical period of prosthesis resorption were excluded from the study. Regarding the degree of contamination, patients were assessed according to the modified Ventral Hernia Working Group (VHWG) classification. Epidemiological data, hernia characteristics, surgical and postoperative variables (Clavien-Dindo classification) of these patients were analyzed. Risk factors related to long-term recurrence were studied by a multivariate analysis. RESULTS: In 236 cases of P4HB prosthesis implantation, repair in cases of Grade 3 was the most frequent (49.1%), followed by Grade 2 in 42.3% of cases and Grade 1 in 8.4%. The most frequent complications were Grade 1, with the majority occurring during the first year. The overall rate of surgical site occurrences (SSO) was 30%. The hernia recurrence rate was 14.4% (n = 34), with a mean postoperative follow-up time of 41 months (22-61). The multivariate analysis showed that the onlay location of the mesh (OR 1.07; CI 1.42-2.70, p = 0.004) was a significant independent risk factor for recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: The use of a P4HB bioresorbable mesh for the VHR with different degrees of contamination leads to favourable results overall, with an acceptable rate of hernia recurrence. The onlay location of the P4HB prosthesis is the main factor in recurrence in both elective and emergency settings.

Early Afterdepolarizations (EADs) are abnormal behaviors that can lead to cardiac failure and even cardiac death. In this paper we investigate the occurrence and development of these phenomena in a reduced Luo-Rudy cardiac model. Through a comprehensive dynamical analysis, we map out the distinct patterns observed in the parametric plane, differentiating between normal beats without EADs and pathological beats with EADs. By examining the bifurcation structure of the model, we elucidate the dynamical elements associated with these patterns and their transitions. Using a fast-slow analysis, we explore the emergence and evolution of EADs in the model. Notably, our approach combines the two commonly used fast-slow approaches (1-slow-2-fast and 2-slow-1-fast), and we show how both approaches together provide a more complete understanding of this phenomenon.

OBJECTIVE: Progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP) is useful tool in the preparation of patients with loss of domain hernias (LODH). The purpose of this observational retrospective study was to report our experience in the management of complications associated with the PPP procedure after treating 180 patients with LODH and to report preventive measures to avoid them. METHODS: Of the 971 patients with a ventral incisional hernia operated on between June 2012 and July 2022, 180 consecutive patients with LODH were retrospectively analysed. Diameters of abdominal cavity, and volumes of incisional hernia and abdominal cavity were calculated from CT scan, based on the modified index of Tanaka. Complications related to the PPP procedure (catheter placement and following insufflations of air) were recorded by Clavien-Dindo classification. RESULTS: Complications associated to PPP were 26.6%. No complications occurred during the administration of botulinum toxin (BT). Eighteen patients (10% of 180 patients) developed subcutaneous emphysema during the last days of the insufflations; there were 2 accidental perforations of the small bowel and four punctures with liver and splenic hematomas, detected during catheter placement; a laparotomy, however, was not needed because it was solved with conservative treatment. We diagnosed it as a peritoneum-cutaneous fistula due to the cutaneous atrophy secondary to chronic eventration. CONCLUSION: PPP is a safe technique well tolerated by patients, although at the cost of some specific complications. Hernia surgeons must understand these complications to prevent them and to inform the LODH patient about their existence.
RESUMEN
Understanding how Mediterranean forests respond to the increasing frequency of extreme droughts and forest densification is crucial for effective land management in the present context of climate change and land abandonment. We study the responses of Iberian holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) woodlands to recent extreme droughts during 2000-2019 along broad gradients of climate aridity and forest structure. To this purpose, we apply large-scale remote-sensing using MODIS EVI as a primary production proxy in 5274 Q. ilex sites distributed within a 100,000 km2 region in eastern Spain. These woodlands were extensively affected by two extreme drought events in 2005 and 2012. Resistance, assessed as the capacity of the ecosystems to maintain primary production during drought, was significantly lower for semi-arid than for sub-humid and dry-transition conditions. Holm oak woodlands located in semi-arid areas of the region showed also poorer resilience to drought, characterized by low capacity to fully recover to their pre-drought production levels. Further, drought intensity and both pre- and post-drought hydric conditions controlled the variations of resistance, recovery and resilience between the two analyzed extreme drought events. Drought effects were particularly negative for dense Q. ilex stands under semi-arid climate conditions, where strong competition for scarce water resources reduced drought resistance. The observed drought vulnerability of semi-arid holm oak woodlands may affect the long-term stability of these dry forests. Adaptive management strategies, such as selective forest thinning, may be useful for improving drought responses in these more vulnerable semi-arid woodlands. Conversely, natural rewilding may more appropriately guide management actions for more humid areas, where densely developed Q. ilex woodlands show in general a high ability to maintain ecosystem primary production during drought.

River discharge has experienced diverse changes in the last decades due to modification of hydrological patterns, anthropogenic intervention, re-vegetation or annual and interannual climatic and atmospheric fluctuations. Assessing the recent changes in river discharge and understanding the main drivers of these changes is thus extremely important from theoretical and applied points of view. More specifically, here we want to draw attention toward the impacts of streamflow changes on reservoir storage and operation. We describe the hydrological dynamics of the Yesa reservoir draining catchment, located in the central Spanish Pyrenees, and characterize the reservoir operation modes over the last 60 years (1956-2020). We analyze concurrent climatic (precipitation, air temperature, drought index), atmospheric mechanisms, land cover (Normalized Different Vegetation Index) and discharge (inlet and outlet of Yesa reservoir) time-series. By using the wavelet transform methodology, we detect historical breakpoints in the hydrological dynamics at different time-scales. Distinctive periods are thus identified. More regular seasonal flows characterized the catchment's dynamics during the first decades of the study period, while the last decades were characterized by a high inter-annual variability. These changes are primarily attributed to the natural re-vegetation process that the catchment experienced. Furthermore, we related changes in atmospheric circulation with a decline of the long-term discharge temporal features. This research contributes to the understanding of long-term river discharge changes and helps to improve the reservoir management practices.
RESUMEN
Flash droughts are characterized by rapid development and intensification, which makes early warning and monitoring difficult. Flash drought monitor (FDM) is a near-real time monitoring system for Spain (https://flash-drought.csic.es) based on the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). Flash drought identification was based on rapid and anomalous declines in SPEI at a short time scale (1-month). Thus, FDM enables operational tracking of flash drought conditions in Spain at high spatial resolution (1.1 × 1.1 km) and high temporal frequency (weekly). Likewise, to put flash drought monitoring into a temporal context, the FDM also provides weekly flash drought conditions recorded in Spain from 1961 to the present. The FDM is a useful tool for preparedness and mitigation of flash droughts in Spain. Furthermore, the data provided by the FDM could be useful to develop future studies in relation to the flash drought in Spain.
RESUMEN
La terapia de presión negativa (TPN) para el tratamiento de las heridas es ampliamente conocida en la práctica quirúrgica. Las indicaciones iniciales de la TPN fueron las heridas crónicas, sobre todo úlceras de pie diabético, vasculares y por decúbito, y las heridas infectadas traumáticas. En la actualidad, el uso se ha diversificado ampliamente. Aunque en el campo de la cirugía de pared abdominal se ha utilizado principalmente en el manejo de las complicaciones de la herida quirúrgica tras la reparación herniaria, otras indicaciones han sido añadidas tras adquirir la experiencia durante años en el manejo de la TPN. Por ello, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar y revisar las principales indicaciones de la TPN en la cirugía de pared abdominal, así como las ventajas que se obtienen con su aplicación (AU)
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is widely known in surgical practice. The initial indications for NPWT were chronic wounds, especially diabetic foot, vascular and decubitus ulcers, and infected traumatic wounds. Nowadays, the use has been widely increased. Although in the field of abdominal wall surgery, it has mainly been used in the treatment of surgical wound complications after hernia repair, other indications have been added after years of experience in the management of NPWT. Therefore, the aim of this article is to analyze and review the main indications of NPWT in abdominal wall surgery, as well as the advantages obtained with its application (AU)

PURPOSE: To clarify the factors related to recurrence after component separation technique (CST). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted of 381 patients who underwent CST between May 2006 and May 2017 at a tertiary center. All patients had a transverse hernia defect grade W3 in EHS classification. Recurrence rate was determined by clinical examination plus confirmation by abdominal CT scan. RESULTS: At a median of 61.6 months of postoperative follow-up, we reported 34 cases of hernia recurrence (8.9%). On multivariate analysis, BMI > 30 (OR 2.20; CI 1.10-3.91, p = 0.031), immunosuppressive drug use (OR 1.06 CI 1.48-2.75, p = 0.003) and development of surgical site infection (OR 2.7; CI 1.53-4.01, p = 0.002) were factors of recurrence after CST. There was no difference in recurrence rate among repairs of primary and recurrent hernias, urgent repair, operative time, type of prosthesis, or concomitant procedures, even planned or unplanned enterotomies. CONCLUSION: Obesity (BMI > 30), immunosuppressive drug use, and postoperative wound infections were predictors of recurrence after CST.

Our aim was to evaluate whether fatty liver index (FLI) is associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) development within the Spanish adult population and according to their prediabetes status; additionally, to examine its incremental predictive value regarding traditional risk factors. A total of 2260 subjects (Prediabetes: 641 subjects, normoglycemia: 1619 subjects) from the Di@bet.es cohort study were studied. Socio-demographic, anthropometric, clinical data and survey on habits were recorded. An oral glucose tolerance test was performed and fasting determinations of glucose, lipids and insulin were made. FLI was calculated and classified into three categories: Low (< 30), intermediate (30-60) and high (> 60). In total, 143 people developed diabetes at follow-up. The presence of a high FLI category was in all cases a significant independent risk factor for the development of diabetes. The inclusion of FLI categories in prediction models based on different conventional T2DM risk factors significantly increase the prediction power of the models when all the population was considered. According to our results, FLI might be considered an early indicator of T2DM development even under normoglycemic condition. The data also suggest that FLI could provide additional information for the prediction of T2DM in models based on conventional risk factors.

Changes in the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events represent one of the key indicators of climate change and variability. These events can have an important impact on mortality rates, especially in the ageing population. This study assessed the spatial and seasonal distributions of mortality rates in mainland Spain and their association with climatic conditions over the period 1979-2016. The analysis was done on a seasonal and annual basis using 79 climatic indices and regional natural deaths data. Results indicate large spatial variability of natural deaths, which is mostly related to how the share of the elderly in the population varied across the studied regions. Spatially, both the highest mortality rates and the largest percentage of elders were found in the northwest areas of the study domain, where an extreme climate prevails, with very cold winters and hot summers. A strong seasonality effect was observed, winter shows more than 10% of natural deaths compared to the rest of the seasons. Also, results suggest a strong relation between climatic indices and natural deaths, albeit with a high spatial and seasonal variability. Climatic indices and natural deaths show a stronger correlation in winter and summer than in spring and autumn.

We analyzed the impacts of drought severity on a variety of sectors in a topographically complex basin (the upper Aragón basin 2181 km2) in the Central Spanish Pyrenees. Using diverse data sources including meteorological and hydrological observations, remote sensing and tree rings, we analyze the possible hydrological implications of drought occurrence and severity on water availability in various sectors, including downstream impacts on irrigation water supply for crop production. Results suggest varying responses in forest activity, secondary growth, plant phenology, and crop yield to drought impacts. Specifically, meteorological droughts have distinct impacts downstream, mainly due to water partitioning between streamflow and irrigation channels that transport water to crop producing areas. This implies that drought severity can extend beyond the physical boundaries of the basin, with impacts on crop productivity. This complex response to drought impacts makes it difficult to develop objective basin-scale operational definitions for monitoring drought severity. Moreover, given the high spatial variability in responses to drought across sectors, it is difficult to establish reliable drought thresholds from indices that are relevant across all socio-economic sectors. The anthropogenic impacts (e.g. water regulation projects, ecosystem services, land cover and land use changes) pose further challenges to assessing the response of different systems to drought severity. This study stresses the need to consider the seasonality of drought impacts and appropriate drought time scales to adequately assess and understand their complexity.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To assess the efficacy of surgical management of chronic mesh infection (CMI) after abdominal wall hernia repair (AWHR) in single-stage approach (complete removal of infected prosthesis and simultaneous replacement with poly-4-hydroxybutyrate mesh or BAM group), comparing results with two-stage treatment (complete mesh excision and abdominal wall repair with synthetic mesh after several months or SPM group). METHODS: Retrospective comparative study of all patients who underwent surgery for CMI between January 2006 and January 2019 at a tertiary center. We compared results in terms of epidemiological data, hernia and prosthesis characteristics, surgical and postoperative variables of both two groups. RESULTS: Over the 13-year study period, 2791 AWHR was performed at our hospital; the overall CMI rate was 2.5%. Of 71 patients, 30 (42.2%) were in BAM group and 41 (57.8%) in SPM group. The median cumulative operative time (252 min versus 132 min) and length of stay (16.6 days versus 6.2 days) were significatively longer in SPM group compared with BAM group, due to the need of two surgical procedures. There were a higher number of postoperative complications in SPM group (p = 0.002), some of them grade III. With mean follow-up of 36.5 months (range 21-59), there were no significant differences in terms of overall hernia recurrence and mesh reinfection in both groups. CONCLUSION: The use of a poly-4-hydroxybutyrate resorbable mesh in single-stage management of CMI may be a safe and better option than two-stage approach, although more studies are needed to confirm our results.

Our aim was to determine the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a nation-wide population based cohort from Spain (di@bet.es study). The target was the Spanish population. In total 5072 people older than 18 years,were randomly selected from all over Spain). Socio-demographic and clinical data, survey on habits (physical activity and food consumption) and weight, height, waist, hip and blood pressure were recorder. A fasting blood draw and an oral glucose tolerance test were performed. Determinations of serum glucose were made. In the follow-up the same variables were collected and HbA1c was determined. A total of 2408 subjects participated in the follow-up. In total, 154 people developed diabetes (6.4% cumulative incidence in 7.5 years of follow-up). The incidence of diabetes adjusted for the structure of age and sex of the Spanish population was 11.6 cases/1000 person-years (IC95% = 11.1-12.1). The incidence of known diabetes was 3.7 cases/1000 person-years (IC95% = 2.8-4.6). The main risk factors for developing diabetes were the presence of prediabetes in cross-sectional study, age, male sex, obesity, central obesity, increase in weight, and family history of diabetes. This work provides data about population-based incidence rates of diabetes and associated risk factors in a nation-wide cohort of Spanish population.
