Background
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has serious physiological and psychological consequences. The long-term (>12 weeks post-infection) impact of COVID-19 on mental health, specifically in older adults, is unclear. We longitudinally assessed the association of COVID-19 with depression symptomatology in community-dwelling older adults with metabolic syndrome within the framework of the PREDIMED-Plus cohort.
MethodsParticipants (n = 5486) aged 55–75 years were included in this longitudinal cohort. COVID-19 status (positive/negative) determined by tests (e.g. polymerase chain reaction severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, IgG) was confirmed via event adjudication (410 cases). Pre- and post-COVID-19 depressive symptomatology was ascertained from annual assessments conducted using a validated 21-item Spanish Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Multivariable linear and logistic regression models assessed the association between COVID-19 and depression symptomatology.
ResultsCOVID-19 in older adults was associated with higher post-COVID-19 BDI-II scores measured at a median (interquartile range) of 29 (15–40) weeks post-infection [fully adjusted β = 0.65 points, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.15–1.15; p = 0.011]. This association was particularly prominent in women (β = 1.38 points, 95% CI 0.44–2.33, p = 0.004). COVID-19 was associated with 62% increased odds of elevated depression risk (BDI-II ≥ 14) post-COVID-19 when adjusted for confounders (odds ratio; 95% CI 1.13–2.30, p = 0.008).
ConclusionsCOVID-19 was associated with long-term depression risk in older adults with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome, particularly in women. Thus, long-term evaluations of the impact of COVID-19 on mental health and preventive public health initiatives are warranted in older adults.

Introduction
Home Treatment (HT) teams are among the better-studied options to reduce admission at the hospital, having been described as an alternative to hospitalization in patients with schizophrenia. There may be certain risk factors which has already been described such as living alone (Dean and Gadd, BMJ, 1990; 301, 1021–1023; Schnyder et al., Acta Psychiatr. Scand. 1999; 99, 179–187), lack of awareness of the illness, uncooperativeness (Cotton et al., BMC Psychiatry, 2007; 7, 52) and fewer visits carried out (Morgan et al., Aust. New Zeal. J. Psychiatry,2006; 40, 683–690) which together can negatively influence the possibility of conducting intensive home follow-up and, therefore, increase the likelihood of hospitalization.
ObjectivesTo describe de relative contribution of several risk factors to patient hospitalization related to the possibility of conducting intensive home follow-up of patients diagnosed with Schizophrenia following home treatment. Second, to determine de risk of hospitalization related to the possibility of conducting intensive home follow-up according to the presence of one or more risk factors of patients diagnosed with Schizophrenia following home treatment.
MethodsAll patients with schizophrenia who were visited by a home treatment team in Barcelona between January 2017 and December 2021 were included in the study. To assess whether there was an increased risk of hospitalization associated with factors such as living alone, uncooperativeness (PANSS G8 item >= 4) and ≤1 home visit, two bivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted. We studied these factors as independent variables to assess the relative contribution to the risk of hospitalization, and we studied if the presence of 1, 2, 3 or 4 of these risk factors as independent variables worsened the risk of hospitalization.
ResultsUncooperativeness shows the highest contribution to the risk of hospitalization, followed by ≤ 1 home visit, lack of insight and living alone, all results reaching significance (p=0.000).
There is an increase in the risk of hospitalization depending of the presence of 1,2,3 or 4 of these risk factors (1 risk factor (Odds Ratio = 1.21), 2 risk factors (Odds Ratio = 5.28), 3 risk factors (Odds ratio = 13.53), 4 risk factors (Odds ratio = 29.18).
ConclusionsThere are a number of factors directly related to the possibility of conducting intensive follow-up that appear relevant in the case of psychotic patients in acute crisis treated at home. This set of variables are the lack of awareness of the illness, lack of collaboration, living alone and the number of visits that have been made, all with statistically significant differences in our study. These factors together also greatly increase the risk of hospitalization, becoming almost 30 times more likely when these 4 factors are present.

Introduction
Several factors related to the risk of requiring psychiatric hospitalization have been described in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia treated with methods other than home treatment. With regard to the symptoms, high global illness severity and positive symptoms of schizophrenia have been most frequently related to the risk of hospitalization in patients with schizophrenia. However, there are no studies describing which clinical factors increase the likelihood of being hospitalized while undergoing home follow-up.
ObjectivesTo determine which of the clinical factors assessed in the PANSS predict the risk of hospitalization in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia following a home treatment program.
MethodsAll patients with schizophrenia who were visited by a home treatment team in Barcelona between January 2017 and December 2021 were included in the study. A comparative, bivariate analysis of each item of the PANSS and of the global results of each category was conducted on those who were hospitalized and those who were not hospitalized. Finally, a logistic regression of each category of the PANSS was done on both groups, controlling for other socio-demographic and clinical factors.
ResultsA total of 1045 patients with schizophrenia were evaluated in this study. PANSS positive symptom subscale (PANSS-S), PANSS General Psychopathology, PANSS Excited Component and PANSS Global Score scored higher in patients who were finally hospitalized in a conventional acute treatment unit. Regarding the PANSS negative symptom subscale, no significant differences were found between the two groups.
In patients who required hospitalization, the scores of all the PANSS positive symptom subscale (PANSS-P) items and all items on the PANSS excited component (excitement, tension, hostility, uncooperativeness and poor impulse control) were significantly higher. Some items regarding general psychopathology (Somatic concern, anxiety, guilt feelings, tension, and mannerisms) were also significantly higher in the hospitalization group. Only 3 items—blunted affect, guilt feelings and motor retardation—scored significantly higher in patients who did not require hospitalization. In the logistic regression, only the global score of the PANSS-P reached statistical significance (P = 0.001).
ConclusionsPositive symptoms scored in the PANSS seem to be the most predictive factors of hospitalization regarding clinical symptoms in patients with Schizophrenia following home treatment. Other items regarding exciting symptoms and general psychopathology also showed as relevant regarding the risk of conventional hospitalization in those patients.

Introduction
Little is known about the need for mechanical restraint during non-voluntary transfers from patient’s homes to the psychiatric emergency department in patients diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia. Although there is no evidence of its efficacy, one of the main tools used for the reduction of mechanical restraints is verbal de-escalation training.
ObjectivesThe aim is to describe which symptoms predispose to mechanical restrain in patients with Paranoid Schizophrenia transferred in a non-voluntary manner from home to the psychiatric emergency department, and the effect on reducing mechanical restraints after receiving verbal de-escalation training.
MethodsAll patients with Paranoid Schizophrenia who, after being visited by a home psychiatry team, have required non-voluntary transfer from their homes to the psychiatric emergency department were selected (N = 442).
ResultsYoung age, being male, having a poor adherence to treatment, higher scores for de following variables; Excitement, Grandiosity, Suspiciousness, Hostility, Abstract thinking, Motor tension, Uncooperativeness, Poor attention, Lack of insight and Poor impulse control as well as lower scores in motor retardation on the PANSS, are related to a higher frequency of mechanical restrain (P<0,005). Before the verbal de-escalation training, 43.9% of the transferred patients required mechanical restraint, after the training, the need for restraints was reduced to 25.5% (P<0.001).
ConclusionsTraining in verbal de-escalation has allowed an important reduction in mechanical restraints in patients with schizophrenia who have required non-voluntary transfers from home to the psychiatric emergency department.

In view of the increasing complexity of both cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and patients in the current era, practice guidelines, by necessity, have become increasingly specific. This document is an expert consensus statement that has been developed to update and further delineate indications and management of CIEDs in pediatric patients, defined as ≤21 years of age, and is intended to focus primarily on the indications for CIEDs in the setting of specific disease categories. The document also highlights variations between previously published adult and pediatric CIED recommendations and provides rationale for underlying important differences. The document addresses some of the deterrents to CIED access in low- and middle-income countries and strategies to circumvent them. The document sections were divided up and drafted by the writing committee members according to their expertise. The recommendations represent the consensus opinion of the entire writing committee, graded by class of recommendation and level of evidence. Several questions addressed in this document either do not lend themselves to clinical trials or are rare disease entities, and in these instances recommendations are based on consensus expert opinion. Furthermore, specific recommendations, even when supported by substantial data, do not replace the need for clinical judgment and patient-specific decision-making. The recommendations were opened for public comment to Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society (PACES) members and underwent external review by the scientific and clinical document committee of the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), the science advisory and coordinating committee of the American Heart Association (AHA), the American College of Cardiology (ACC), and the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology (AEPC). The document received endorsement by all the collaborators and the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS), the Indian Heart Rhythm Society (IHRS), and the Latin American Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS). This document is expected to provide support for clinicians and patients to allow for appropriate CIED use, appropriate CIED management, and appropriate CIED follow-up in pediatric patients.

Introduction
Although physical restraint (PR) is a non-rarely practice on psychiatry there are few studies that focus the attention on the risk factors for this intervention. PR is a legitimacy practice when is needed and well applied but is not free from side effects. Knowing risk factors might be useful to improve the application of PR.
ObjectivesStudy the risk factors involved with the use of PR at patient's home in individuals with schizophrenia before the involuntary transport (IT) to a psychiatric facility.
MethodsIs a descriptive and observational study of 267 psychotic patients that were assisted by a psychiatric home care unit (EMSE) in Barcelona during their IT. The sample was divided in two groups, depending on the need of PR. Socio-demographic data were collected as well as positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS), WHO disability assessment schedule (WHO/DAS), global assessment of functioning scale (GAF), Scale to assess unawareness of mental disorder (SUMD). Aggressiveness was assessed by PANSS-EC consisting of 5 items: excitement, tension, hostility, uncooperativeness and poor impulse.
ResultsFrom the 267 psychotic patients 109 required PR. 154 were male and the average of age was 47. The results were significant in the PR group versus no PR for PANSS-EC (P = 0.000), as well as WHO/DAS (P = 0.017), GAF (P = 0.042), Positive PANSS (P = 0.000), age (P = 0.001) and substance use (P = 0.012). Were no significant for gender, insight or Negative PANSS.
ConclusionsAggressiveness and violence were the most important PR related factors followed by positive symptoms, age, substance use and global functioning.

This study assessed milk productivity, demographic characteristics and workload distribution on a single high-yield dairy ewe farm in Spain (Avila, Spain; continental climate, latitude of 40.90 N, altitude of 900 m) over a 7-year period considering a transition from a herd management system involving five lambings per year (5LY) to a system involving 10 lambings per year (10LY). The 5LY system was practiced on the farm from 2010 to 2012 and the 10LY system from 2014 to 2015, with 2009 and 2013 being considered transition years. During this period, 27 415 lactations were recorded from an average of 3746 Lacaune sheep/year. Several productivity parameters were higher in 2014 to 2015 than in 2010 to 2012: milk yield/lactation (370±156 v. 349±185 l), lactation length (218±75 v. 192±75 days) and dry period length (53.5±38.3 v. 69.1±34.8 days) (all P<0.0001). During 2014 to 2015, investment in new lambing facilities was possible, workload was distributed more uniformly throughout the year, workload per worker was smaller, rate of ewe culling was lower (35.39±0.53% v. 42.51±7.51%), ewe longevity was greater and higher-order lactations were more numerous (P<0.0001). On the other hand, during 2010 to 2012, daily production was higher (1.73±1.66 v. 1.70±0.62 l/day; P=0.038), the interlambing period was shorter (283±50 v. 302±44 days; P<0.0001) and lambings/ewe per year were greater (1.42±0.01 v. 1.30±0.01; P<0.05). These results suggest that a 10LY herd management system can be compatible with profitability, productivity and good animal and worker’s welfare on a high-yield dairy farm, and may even be associated with better outcomes than a 5LY system.

A far-infrared observatory such as the SPace Infrared telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics, with its unprecedented spectroscopic sensitivity, would unveil the role of feedback in galaxy evolution during the last ~10 Gyr of the Universe (z = 1.5–2), through the use of far- and mid-infrared molecular and ionic fine structure lines that trace outflowing and infalling gas. Outflowing gas is identified in the far-infrared through P-Cygni line shapes and absorption blueshifted wings in molecular lines with high dipolar moments, and through emission line wings of fine-structure lines of ionised gas. We quantify the detectability of galaxy-scale massive molecular and ionised outflows as a function of redshift in AGN-dominated, starburst-dominated, and main-sequence galaxies, explore the detectability of metal-rich inflows in the local Universe, and describe the most significant synergies with other current and future observatories that will measure feedback in galaxies via complementary tracers at other wavelengths.

Background
The interest in studying gene–gene interactions is increasing for psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SSD), where multiple genes are involved. Dysbindin-1 (DTNBP1) and Neuritin-1 (NRN1) genes have been previously associated with SSD and both are involved in synaptic plasticity. We aimed to study whether these genes show an epistatic effect on the risk for SSD.
MethodsThe sample comprised 388 SSD patients and 397 healthy subjects. Interaction was tested between: (i) three DTNBP1 SNPs (rs2619537, rs2743864, rs1047631) related to changes in gene expression; and (ii) an haplotype in NRN1 previously associated with the risk for SSD (rs645649-rs582262: HAP-risk C-C).
ResultsAn interaction between DTNBP1 rs2743864 and NRN1 HAP-risk was detected by using the model based multifactor dimensionality reduction (MB-MDR) approach (P = 0.0049, after permutation procedure), meaning that the risk for SSD is significantly higher in those subjects carrying both the A allele of rs2743864 and the HAP-risk C-C. This interaction was confirmed by using a logistic regression model (P = 0.033, OR (95%CI) = 2.699 (1.08–6.71), R2 = 0.162).
DiscussionOur results suggest that DTNBP1 and NRN1 genes show a joint effect on the risk for SSD. Although the precise mechanism underlying this effect is unclear, the fact that these genes have been involved in synaptic maturation, connectivity and glutamate signalling suggests that our findings could be of value as a link to the schizophrenia aetiology.

This study aimed to analyse the existence of an association between social class (categorized by type of occupation) and the occurrence of A(H1N1)pmd09 infection and hospitalization for two seasons (2009–2010 and 2010–2011). This multicentre study compared ambulatory A(H1N1)pmd09 confirmed cases with ambulatory controls to measure risk of infection, and with hospitalized A(H1N1)pmd09 confirmed cases to asses hospitalization risk. Study variables were: age, marital status, tobacco and alcohol use, pregnancy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic respiratory failure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic liver disease, body mass index >40, systemic corticosteroid treatment and influenza vaccination status. Occupation was registered literally and coded into manual and non-manual worker occupational social class groups. A conditional logistic regression analysis was performed. There were 720 hospitalized cases, 996 ambulatory cases and 1062 ambulatory controls included in the study. No relationship between occupational social class and A(H1N1)pmd09 infection was found [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0·97, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0·74–1·27], but an association (aOR 1·53, 95% CI 1·01–2·31) between occupational class and hospitalization for A(H1N1)pmd09 was observed. Influenza vaccination was a protective factor for A(H1N1)pmd09 infection (aOR 0·41, 95% CI 0·23–0·73) but not for hospitalization. We conclude that manual workers have the highest risk of hospitalization when infected by influenza than other occupations but they do not have a different probability of being infected by influenza.

Although the intensive production system of Lacaune dairy sheep is the only profitable method for producers outside of the French Roquefort area, little is known about this type of systems. This study evaluated yield records of 3677 Lacaune sheep under intensive management between 2005 and 2010 in order to describe the lactation curve of this breed and to investigate the suitability of different mathematical functions for modeling this curve. A total of 7873 complete lactations during a 40-week lactation period corresponding to 201 281 pieces of weekly yield data were used. First, five mathematical functions were evaluated on the basis of the residual mean square, determination coefficient, Durbin Watson and Runs Test values. The two better models were found to be Pollott Additive and fractional polynomial (FP). In the second part of the study, the milk yield, peak of milk yield, day of peak and persistency of the lactations were calculated with Pollot Additive and FP models and compared with the real data. The results indicate that both models gave an extremely accurate fit to Lacaune lactation curves in order to predict milk yields (P = 0.871), with the FP model being the best choice to provide a good fit to an extensive amount of real data and applicable on farm without specific statistical software. On the other hand, the interpretation of the parameters of the Pollott Additive function helps to understand the biology of the udder of the Lacaune sheep. The characteristics of the Lacaune lactation curve and milk yield are affected by lactation number and length. The lactation curves obtained in the present study allow the early identification of ewes with low milk yield potential, which will help to optimize farm profitability.

The goal of this work is to determine the properties of the stellar populations in a sample of LIRGs and ULIRGs. Using the ages as a clock we investigate: a) whether LIRGs-ULIRGs evolve into Radio Galaxies and QSOs; b) whether cool LIRGs-ULIRGs can evolve into warm LIRGs-ULIRGs; c) the merger sequence deduced from the morphological studies is reflected in the properties of the stellar populations. Using evolutionary synthesis models with high spectral resolution stellar libraries we have found that the intermediate age stellar population dominates at optical wavelengths. The stellar population in LIRGs is similar to ULIRGs and ULIRGs-QSOs transition objects.

Endophytic fungi were isolated from nine plant species growing on gypsum and saline soils in central Spain. The plants sampled were Arundo donax, Atriplex halimus, Diplotaxis erucoides, Ephedra nebrodensis, Phragmites australis, Rosmarinus officinalis, Scirpus holoschoenus, S. maritimus and Stipa tenacissima. A total of 152 fungal species were recovered from 2880 samples of leaves, stems or twigs, taken from 45 individual plants. Ephedra and Rosmarinus showed the highest diversity of endophytes, whereas both species of Scirpus showed the lowest. The most frequently isolated fungi were Alternaria alternata, Sporormiella intermedia, Rhizoctonia sp., Epicoccum purpurascens, Pleospora herbarum, Cladosporium herbarum, Sporormiella australis and a sterile fungus. A total of 187 strains belonging to 136 species were tested for the production of antimicrobial activities, using a panel of bacteria and yeasts, some of them of clinical relevance. Production of antimicrobial compounds was detected in 45 strains, belonging to 37 species. Large differences were observed among isolates from the same species, with respect to their ability to produce metabolites with antimicrobial activity.

We have mapped the CO J=2-l and J=l-0 emission with high angular resolution (about 10” and 20”, respectively) from the young planetary nebulae NGC2346, M2-9 and NGC6720 (the Ring nebula in Lyra). The observations were carried out by using the IRAM 30-m dish at Pico Veleta (near Granada, Spain).

We have used the IRAM 30-m telescope to make high angular resolution observations of the silicon-bearing molecule, SiO and SiS in region of massive star formation. We have mapped the J=2-l and the J=5-4 lines of SiO with angular resolutions of 26 and 12” respectively. For all the sources mapped, the SiO emission is more extended that the beam. The extreme cases are found toward NGC7538 and W49N where the SiO emission has sizes of 1x0.5 pc and 2.8x1 pc respectively. This result is in contrast with the size of the SiO region in Orion-IRc2 which is of the order 0.03 pc. The maxima of the SiO emission are found at the position of the H2O masers. This indicates, as previously thought, that SiO emission probes the high temperature regions and/or the shocked gas and dust surrounding young stars. In the DR21(OH) region we have found the unique SiO source which is not associated to H20 maser emission. This SiO condensation is 40” south of DR21(OH) and it was first detected as a source of 350µm emission. The SiO emission is elongated in the east-west direction. From an analysis of the FIR continuum emission this object appears to be cool (Tk < 30) and it has been proposed that this source represents a pre-stellar condensation which may be evolving toward the star formation stage. The detection of SiO, howevwer, casts some doubts about the evolutionary stage of this source. Futher high angular resolution observations are necessary to establish the nature of this source.
