Abstract
Para comparar en los folículos preovulatorios de hembras bovinas de las razas Brahman (Br) y Romosinuano (rs) el desarrollo de los diferentes componentes foliculares, como el tamaño del antro folicular, el grosor y el volumen ocupado por la capa de células de la granulosa (cg) y de la teca interna (ti), y su posible relación con el desarrollo del cuerpo lúteo (cl) y la producción de progesterona P4, se utilizaron 5 hembras de la raza rs y 5 de la raza Br. A estas se les realizó seguimiento ecográfico durante 2 ciclos estrales y se les efectuó muestreo de suero sanguíneo para determinar por Elisa los niveles de P4. En el tercer estro se les extirpó el ovario que contenía el folículo preovulatorio y se realizó un corte diametral sobre el estigma del folículo para seccionarlo en 2 partes iguales. En una de las partes se hicieron cortes histológicos y se determinó la morfometría folicular. La duración del ciclo estral en las hembras de la raza Br osciló entre 18 y 21 días, con promedio de 19,9 ± 1,6 días, y en las vacas rs entre 18 y 24 días, con un promedio 21,2 ± 1,69 días. La duración del estro fue de 13,9 ± 6,98 y 9,60 ± 4,72 h para las razas rs y Br, respectivamente. El intervalo estro-ovulación fue de 21,20 ± 5,07 h para los animales de la raza Br y de 24,40 ± 6,43 para los rs. No se registraron diferencias entre razas ni en el grosor (rs: 55,12 ± 6,46 µm vs. Br: 49,48 ± 17,07 µm), p > 0,05, tampoco en el volumen ocupado por la capa de cg (rs: 27,93 ± 6,11 mm3 vs. Br: 25,40 ± 13,85 mm3) de los folículos preovulatorios p < 0,05, en el grosor (rs: 122,50 ± 20,53 µm vs. Br: 129,61 ± 84,85 µm) o en el volumen (rs: 64,97 ± 19,71 mm3 vs. Br: 59,83 ± 25,67 mm3) de las células de la ti. El máximo desarrollo de los cl para la totalidad de las hembras se alcanzó el día 12,6 ± 4,05 (día 0 = estro), con un diámetro promedio de 22,92 ± 3,60 mm. Para las de la raza rs el diámetro máximo fue 23,06 ± 3,9 mm y se observó en promedio el día 14,88 ± 3,4. Para las de la raza Br fue el día 10,00 ± 3,16 con un promedio de 22,75 ± 3,16 mm. En ese día, la concentración media de P4 fue de 5,37 ± 1,38 ng/ml para la raza rs y 5,74 ± 0,89 ng/ml para la raza Br. No se presentaron diferencias significativas entre razas (p > 0,05). Se concluyó que no existen diferencias en los eventos fisiológicos estudiados entre las razas rs y Br. Los hallazgos del presente estudio, sin duda, pueden servir de base para futuros análisis en los bovinos residentes en el trópico.

Abstract
The introduction of video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) techniques has led to a new approach in thoracic surgery. VATS is performed by inserting a thoracoscope through a small incisions in the chest wall, thus maximizing the preservation of muscle and tissue. Because of its low rate of morbidity and mortality, VATS is currently the technique of choice in most thoracic procedures. Lung resection by VATS reduces prolonged air leaks, arrhythmia, pneumonia, postoperative pain and inflammatory markers. This reduction in postoperative complications shortens hospital length of stay, and is particularly beneficial in high-risk patients with low tolerance to thoracotomy. Compared with conventional thoracotomy, the oncological results of VATS surgery are similar or even superior to those of open surgery. This aim of this multidisciplinary position statement produced by the thoracic surgery working group of the Spanish Society of Anesthesiology and Reanimation (SEDAR), the Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery (SECT), and the Spanish Association of Physiotherapy (AEF) is to standardize and disseminate a series of perioperative anaesthesia management guidelines for patients undergoing VATS lung resection surgery. Each recommendation is based on an in-depth review of the available literature by the authors. In this document, the care of patients undergoing VATS surgery is organized in sections, starting with the surgical approach, and followed by the three pillars of anaesthesia management: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative anaesthesia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the median survival time (MST) of dogs with nasal carcinoma treated with toceranib phosphate. MATERIAL AND METHODS The databases of four Spanish referral hospitals were retrospectively searched for dogs with a diagnosis of nasal tumours presented between January 2015 and October 2020. Dogs treated with radiotherapy or other chemotherapies prior toceranib were excluded. RESULTS Twenty-three dogs with a confirmed nasal carcinoma treated with toceranib phosphate and with a CT scan for initial staging according to Adams Modified Staging System were included. Nine dogs had a stage III nasal carcinoma whereas 14 dogs had a stage IV nasal carcinoma. No dog had stages I and II nasal carcinoma. The median overall survival time was 139 days. The difference between the MST between dogs with stages III and IV was not statistically significant [P = 0.6, 140 days for stage III (range 46-401) vs 120 days for stage IV (range 23-600)]. Overall, dogs with epistaxis achieved a longer median survival (166 days) than dogs without epistaxis (83 days). Toceranib phosphate was generally well tolerated. Most dogs had an initial clinical benefit followed by progressive disease. SIGNIFICANCE This is the first study to report the MST in dogs with stages III and IV nasal carcinoma treated with toceranib phosphate. This retrospective study showed that toceranib phosphate decreases the clinical signs associated with nasal carcinomas.

Abstract
Background:Apremilast is a non-biologic systemic agent approved for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, oral ulcers of Behcet’s disease and PsA with proven efficacy in clinical trials [1,2]. However, more real-world evidence of apremilast use and effectiveness is needed to identify the patient profile most likely to benefit from this treatment [3].Objectives:To evaluate the persistence of apremilast treatment in patients with PsA naïve to biological treatments in routine clinical practice and assess its effectiveness. Baseline clinical characteristics on patients who started apremilast were also evaluated.Methods:Observational, prospective, multicenter (20 centers) study including consecutive adult patients with PsA naïve to biological therapies who had started treatment with apremilast during the previous 5 to 7 months and were followed-up during 12 months. Variables recorded were persistence of treatment with apremilast at 6 months (6mo) and number of swelling joints, presence of enthesitis and dactylitis, and disease activity, measured by the Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) score and Physician Global Assessment (PGA) of psoriasis, collected at baseline (BL) (i.e., apremilast treatment start) and 6mo; comorbidities were retrospectively collected at BL. Categorical and quantitative variables were compared using McNemar’s and Wilcoxon test, respectively. Data sets analyzed included all assessable patients.Results:Of the 60 patients recruited at the time of this interim analysis, 54 (90.0%) [mean (SD) age 53.4 (13.9) years] were assessable; 41 (75.9%) of these continued treatment with apremilast at 6mo. At BL, 34 (63.0%) patients had at least one comorbidity, the most frequent being cardiovascular disease (n=15, 27.8%), including hypertension (n=8, 14.8%), metabolic/endocrine disease (n=18, 33.3%), including obesity (n=8, 14.8%) and dyslipidemia (n=10, 18.5%). Psychiatric disease (i.e., depression) (n=5, 9.3%) and neoplasia (n=8, 14.8%) were also observed. The number of swelling joints decreased from median (Q1, Q3) 4.0 (2.0, 7.0) at BL to 1.5 (0.0, 4.0) at 6mo (p=0.0012). Patients with dactylitis and enthesitis decreased from 19 (35.2%) and 16 (29.6%) at BL to 10 (18.5%) and 9 (16.7%) at 6mo (p=0.0225 and p=0.0391), respectively. The distribution of patients in the different disease activity categories according to DAPSA scale changed between BL and 6mo, indicating a favorable disease evolution (Figure 1 next page). According to PGA, at BL (n=53), disease activity was categorized as mild in 18.0%, as moderate in 72.0%, and as severe in 10% of patients and, at 6mo (n=54), as mild in 70.6%, as moderate in 25.5%, and as severe in 3.9% of patients. Fifteen (27.8%) patients interrupted treatment permanently (n=13, 24.1%) or temporarily (n=2, 3.7%), due to no/partial response (n=8, 14.8%), tolerability issues leading to adverse events (n=3, 5.6%), patient decision (n=2, 3.7%), and other reasons (n=2, 3.7%) after a mean (SD) treatment of 3.05 (2.20) months.Conclusion:Forty-one (75.9%) patients with PsA naïve to biological therapies were treated with apremilast during ≥6 months. After treatment, the number of swelling joints, and dactylitis and enthesitis decreased and changes in disease activity according to DAPSA and PGA pointed to a favorable disease evolution. Apremilast treatment provides a clinical benefit to patients with PsA treated in clinical practice.References:[1]Gossec L, Smolen JS, Ramiro S, et al.

Abstract
Background:Esperanza was a multicenter national health program developed to facilitate an early diagnosis of patients with Spondyloarthritis (SpA) in Spain.Objectives:To compare the clinical evolution of patients with axial SpA (axSpA) and peripheral SpA (pSpA) included in this program.Methods:Patients from the Esperanza cohort fulfilling ASAS criteria for axSpA or pSpA and completed the 6-year follow-up were included. Patients were classified according to the predominant symptom. In case of having axSpA and pSpA, they were classified as axSpA. Clinical features, disease activity and treatment aspects at baseline and 6-year visit were evaluated.Results:From 775 patients recruited at baseline, 6-year follow-up data from 178 (83.5%) fulfilling ASAS criteria at the final visit were available: 133 (74.7%) for axSpA and 45 for pSpA (25.3%). 118 (66.3%) were males (50.6% with axSpA and 62.2%, pSpA, p=0.4). Patients with axSpA had more frequently positive HLA-B27 (90.5%) vs. (9.5%), p<0.001. Follow-up clinical features are shown in Table 1. At the final visit, both axSpA and pSpA presented an improvement in clinical symptoms, disease activity (CRP, BASDAI, ASDAS and VAS-pt) and quality of life (ASQoL). A worsening of mobility (BASMI) was observed in both groups. The prevalence of uveitis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at baseline was 10.7%, 18% and 5.6%, respectively. At the 6-year visit, the cumulative prevalence (CP) was 14% for uveitis (16.5% in axSpA and 6.7% in pSpA), 22.5% for psoriasis (12.8% in axSpA and 51.1% in pSpA) and 7.9% for IBD (5.3% in axSpA and 15.6% in pSpA). Most of the patients were prescribed NSAIDS at baseline and more patients maintained this treatment at the 6-year visit in axSpA compared with pSpA (96.9% vs 87.5%, p=0.02). At the final visit, a higher percentage with pSpA received csDMARDs in comparison with axSpA (81% vs. 35.7%, p<0.001). Sixty (44.4%) patients received biologic therapy at the final visit and no differences were observed in their prescription: 43% in axSpA and 48.6% in pSpA(p=0.6).Conclusion:The early diagnosis of recent-onset SpA achieves a significant improvement in clinical features, disease activity and quality of life in patients with axSpA and pSpA after 6 years of follow-up. Although previous publications revealed a low radiographic progression in this cohort1, the worsening of BASMI must aware clinicians of possible evolutive structural damage.Reference:[1]Fernández-Carballido et al.

Abstract
Insufficient O2 delivery to, and uptake by skeletal muscle can produce mobility limitations for patients with chronic diseases. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be used to noninvasively quantify the balance between skeletal muscle O2 delivery and utilization during contraction. However, it is not clear how the oxygenated or deoxygenated NIRS signal should be used to assess muscle O2 changes. This issue is related to the fact that the contributions of hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb) cannot be distinguished. This conundrum can be resolved by quantitative analysis of experimental data by computer simulations with a mechanistic, mathematical model. Model simulations distinguish dynamic responses of the oxygenated (HbO2, MbO2) and deoxygenated (HHb, HMb) contributions to the NIRS signal components (HbMbO2, HHbMb). Simulations of muscle O2 uptake and NIRS kinetics correspond closely to published experimental data (Hernández et al., J Appl Physiol 108: 1169-1176, 2010). Simulated muscle O2 uptake and oxygenation kinetics with different blood flows indicate (1) faster O2 delivery is responsible for slower muscle oxygenation kinetics; (2) Hb and Mb contributions to the HbMbO2 are similar (40-60%); and (3) Hb and Mb contributions to the HHbMb are significantly different, 80% and 20%, respectively. The effect of slow blood flow kinetics on oxygenated Hb and Mb contributions is minimal. However, the effect on the imbalance between O2 delivery and utilization rates causes significant overshoots and undershoots of deoxygenated Hb and Mb contributions. Model analysis in combination with NIRS measurements and information on hemodynamic and microvascular distribution can help to determine the use of NIRS signal in evaluating the factors limiting exercise tolerance in health and disease states.

Abstract
Introduction This is the case of a 15-year-old boy who had been socially isolated in his house for over 1 year. He had become increasingly agitated, but refused any help offered. Objectives To establish the role of community treatment in adolescents with mental health problems. Methods Summary of the interventions taken place during the treatment Results Initially this young person refused any medical treatment, so we tried first supportive therapy and CBT. He dicho not obtain any benefits as he appeared experiencias paranoid ideation and thoughts of being persecuted in the streets. With support from the occupational therapist, the young person started to take care of his personal hygiene. Afterwards he started to take oral medication with partial response. We decided to switch to im treatment. In conjunction with CBT, the young person was gradually able to llaves the house. All the sessions during the first few months took place at his family home. These visits were weekly or twice weekly. Once he left the house, he attended the grupos at the day hospital. After 18 months, he was discharged without medication and he is currently studying for a degree. Conclusions Community treatment in adolescent with mental health problems is a better opción to establish good rapport and avoid stressful situations that could take place in an in-patient facilita. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
During a pandemic, the three basic principles are. to prioritize medical resources, ensure patients' lockdown in order to avoid community transmission and prevent healthcare collapse, and keep the number of visits to an absolute minimum to avoid patient exposure and safeguard healthcare workers. Antenatal care must be maintained during a health crisis, regardless of the COVID-19 state of alert. Routine and specialist obstetric ultrasound scans are essential for clinical decision-making during pregnancy, as it has a direct impact on the management of mothers and fetuses and on the perinatal outcome. In an attempt to minimize in-person visits, these will be organized according to the established ultrasound schedule. Based on scientific evidence, and on existing main national and international guidelines, this document has been prepared, in which proposals and options are provided for managing pregnant women in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. It includes how a Fetal Medicine Unit facing this health crisis should be restructured, what safety measures should be followed in the performance of obstetric scans and invasive procedures, and how ultrasound rooms, equipment and transducers should be cleaned and disinfected. These recommendations should be adapted to different units based on their resources and infrastructure.

Abstract
Transesophageal echocardiography is a semi-invasive technique that allows an evaluation of cardiac morphology and function in real time and it is a quality standard in cardiovascular surgery. It has become a fundamental tool for both monitoring and diagnosis in the intraoperative period that allows decide the correct surgical planning and pharmacological management. The goal of this document is to answer the questions of when and how the perioperative TEE should be performed in cardiovascular surgery, what are their applications in the intraoperative, who should perform it and how the information should be transmitted. The authors made a systematic review of international guidelines, review articles and clinical trials to answer by consensus to these questions.

Abstract
Background:Although ideally Recommendations for the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) should be supported by the highest level of evidence, many of which are based on “expert opinion”. This means that there are knowledge gaps to which a part of the research efforts in this disease should be directed.Objectives:1.- Analyze the causes of the low level of evidence in some of the recommendations on diagnosis and management of RA in the main published documents2.- Identify the knowledge gaps that justify said low level of evidence3.- Design actions to respond to the knowledge gaps identified.Methods:Qualitative study. A group of six experts in systematic review of the literature was selected. Fourteen documents of national and international recommendations on RA (EULAR, ACR and SER) of the last 5 years were analyzed by a peer review. They selected recommendations with low level of evidence (Oxford 4 and 5) / grade of recommendation (C and D), and classified by areas (diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, others) and then possible causes of low level of evidence were analyzed. These were submitted to a Delphi to select the 10 recommendations in which participants considered it more critical to obtain quality evidence. Subsequently, actions were proposed to improve the levels of evidence in general and, through the PICOS structure (population, intervention, comparator, study design) specific studies were proposed to respond to the issues raised in these 10 recommendationsResults:185 recommendations were found that had a low level of evidence / grade of recommendation, most related to the treatment of RA. The two most frequent causes of this low level of evidence and / or the degree of recommendation were the absence of studies and an incorrect classification of the level of evidence and / or degree of recommendation. In addition, other reasons and methodological barriers were found for which nine critical recommendations were finally selected for which new PICOs were developed with which to propose targeted research projectsConclusion:It is necessary to improve the methodological approach in the RA recommendations guidelines to correct errors and fill gaps with appropriate studies.Table 1.Actions to increase the level of evidence / recommendation.#Action1Prioritization of research towards knowledge gaps with the design and development of specific studies2Increase knowledge of experts in the methodology of consensus documents (including RSL, formulation of recommendations, etc.)3Supervision of the entire process by expert methodologists, to ensure a correct allocation of the levels of evidence and degree of recommendation4Review and select those topics that are really of interest and should be reviewed and can be answered5Expert opinion should never become a recommendation, but will be included in the text that accompanies that recommendation.6Clear syntax will be used and short recommendations will be made7Establishment and application of homogeneous criteria to formulate recommendationsKey words: Rheumatoid arthritis, recommendations, data gapsDisclosure of Interests:gloria candelas: None declared, Lucía Silva-Fernández: None declared, Maria Montoro Employee of: Pfizer employee, Abad Hernández: None declared, Jose Ramón Maneiro: None declared, Virginia Villaverde: None declared, Loreto Carmona Grant/research support from: Novartis Farmaceutica, SA, Pfizer, S.L.U., Merck Sharp & Dohme España, S.A., Roche Farma, S.A, Sanofi Aventis, AbbVie Spain, S.L.U., and Laboratorios Gebro Pharma, SA (All trhough institution), Estíbaliz Loza Grant/research support from: Roche, Pfizer, Abbvie, MSD, Novartis, Gebro, Adacap, Astellas, BMS, Lylly, Sanofi, Eisai, Leo, Sobi, Susana Gómez Employee of: Pfizer employee, Monica Valderrama Consultant of: Pfizer employee, Ana Ortiz: None declared

Abstract
Human milk (HM) constitutes the first immunological barrier and the main source of nutrients and bioactive components for newborns. Immune factors comprise up to 10% of the protein content in HM, where antibodies are the major components (mainly IgA, IgG, and IgM). In addition, antibacterial enzymes such as lysozyme and immunoregulatory factors such as soluble cluster of differentiation 14 (sCD14) and transforming growth factor β2 (TGF-β2) are also present and play important roles in the protection of the infant's health. Donor milk processed in HM banks by Holder pasteurization (HoP; 62.5°C, 30 min) is a safe and valuable resource for preterm newborns that are hospitalized, but is reduced in major immunological components due to thermal inactivation. We hypothesized that high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and high-pressure homogenization (HPH) are 2 processes that can be used on HM to reduce total bacteria counts while retaining immunological components. We studied the effects of HHP (400, 450, and 500 MPa for 5 min applied at 20°C) and HPH (200, 250, and 300 MPa, milk inlet temperature of 20°C) applied to mature HM, on microbiological and immunological markers (IgA, IgG, IgM, sCD14, and TGF-β2), and compared them with those of traditional HoP in HM samples from healthy donors. The HHP processing between 400 and 500 MPa at 20°C reduced counts of coliform and total aerobic bacteria to undetectable levels (<1.0 log cfu/mL) while achieving approximately 100% of immunological component retention. In particular, comparing median percentages of retention of immunological components for 450 MPa versus HoP, we found 101.5 versus 50.5% for IgA, 89.5 versus 26.0% for IgM, 104.5 versus 75.5% for IgG, 125.0 versus 72.5% for lysozyme, 50.6 versus 0.1% for sCD14, and 88.5 versus 61.1% for TGF-β2, respectively. Regarding HPH processing, at a pressure of 250 MPa and inlet temperature of 20°C, the process showed good potential to reduce coliforms to undetectable levels and total aerobic bacteria to levels slightly above those obtained by HoP. The median percentages of retention of immunological markers for HPH versus HoP were 71.5 versus 52.0%, 71.0 versus 27.0%, 104.0 versus 66.5%, and 30.9 versus 0.2%, for IgA, IgM, IgG, and sCD14, respectively; results did not significantly differ for lysozyme and TGF-β2. The HPH at 300 MPa produced higher inactivation of immunological components, similar to values achieved with HoP.

Abstract
Pneumonia caused by coronavirus, which originated in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, has been spread around the world already becoming a pandemic. Unfortunately, there is not yet a specific vaccine or effective antiviral drug for treating COVID-19. Many of these patients deteriorate rapidly and require intubation and are mechanically ventilated, which is causing the collapse of the health system in many countries due to lack of ventilators and intensive care beds. In this document we review two simple adjuvant therapies to administer, without side effects, and low cost that could be useful for the treatment of acute severe coronavirus infection associated with acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). VitaminC, a potent antioxidant, has emerged as a relevant therapy due to its potential benefits when administered intravenous. The potential effect of vitaminC in reducing inflammation in the lungs could play a key role in lung injury caused by coronavirus infection. Another potential effective therapy is ozone: it has been extensively studied and used for many years and its effectiveness has been demonstrated so far in multiples studies. Nevertheless, our goal is not to make an exhaustive review of these therapies but spread the beneficial effects themselves. Obviously clinical trials are necessaries, but due to the potential benefit of these two therapies we highly recommended to add to the therapeutic arsenal.

Abstract
Forty broilers maintained under natural hypobaric hypoxia (2,638 m above sea level) and 20 maintained under relative normoxia (460 m above sea level) were selected as pulmonary hypertensive (PHB) and nonpulmonary hypertensive (NPHB), to estimate the degree of the adventitial vascular thickness in lung arterioles and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression in lung. In each group, the adventitial thickness (%AT) of 20 arterioles with 100 to 250 μm of external diameter was measured in lung samples of 24 and 42-day-old broilers. Also, mRNA extraction and real-time reverse transcription-PCR analysis were used to measure lung CTGF expression. The %AT was higher in PHB at 42 D as compared to NPHB at both ages and PHB at 24 D; however, the same differences were not evidenced at 24 D. In the 2 ages evaluated, differences were observed in the %AT between broilers under hypobaric hypoxia (PHB and NPHB) and under relative normoxia (P < 0.01). In broilers subjected to relative normoxia, no significant differences were found at any of the 2 ages. The expression levels of CTGF mRNA were higher in PHB compared to NPHB at the 2 ages. The %AT was higher in PHB with high levels of expression of CTGF mRNA than those NPHB with low expression of CTGF mRNA. This study showed that adventitial thickening is part of the pulmonary hypertension (PH) physiopathology in broilers exposed to hypobaric hypoxia, in which CTGF appears to be a fibrosis enhancer. Although present data suggest that adventitial engrossment could be a time-dependent process, individual susceptibility and the variable time-course of PH pathophysiology have to be considered.
