Abstract
Arsenic (As) uptake by plants is mainly carried out as arsenate (As(V)), whose chemical analogy with phosphate is largely responsible for its elevated toxicity. Arsenate is known to stimulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation in plants that provoke oxidative stress. This manuscript reports the results of a hydroponics study using rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings as a test plant, where the effects of increasing arsenate concentrations (0–10 mg L−1) on both lipid and protein oxidation, as well as As accumulation and speciation in plant roots and shoots were examined. Plant yield was negatively affected by increasing As concentration. Accumulation in plant roots was higher than in shoots at low arsenate doses (0.5–2.5 mg L−1), while root to shoot transport was drastically enhanced at the highest doses (5 and 10 mg L−1). Moreover, As(V) was the dominating species in the shoots and As(III) in the roots. Rice leaves in the 10 mg As L−1 treatment showed the highest lipid peroxidation damage (malondialdehyde concentration), whilst protein oxidation was not remarkably influenced by As dose. Lipid peroxidation seems to be therefore conditioned by As accumulation in rice plants, particularly by the presence of high As(V) concentrations in the aerial part of the plants as a consequence of unregulated translocation from roots to shoots above a threshold concentration (1.25–2.5 mg L−1) in the growing media. These results provide relevant information regarding As(V) toxic concentrations for rice plants, highlight the importance of major As species analysis in plant tissues regarding As toxicity and contribute to better understand plants response to elevated As concentrations in the growing media.

Abstract
Trace element (TE)-contaminated soils require the improvement of their physico-chemical properties in order to allow their restoration through phytostabilization technologies. This study aimed to determine the usefulness of oxidative stress related parameters to validate the suitability of two different combinations of organic (solid fraction of pig slurry) and inorganic (paper mill sludge or a commercial red mud derivative) amendments for the phytostabilization of an acidic (4.2) TE-contaminated mine soil from SE Spain. Two wild species (Silybum marianum and Piptatherum miliaceum) were greenhouse cultivated and the development of the plants, their ionome, and oxidative stress related parameters were determined. Both amendment combinations increased significantly soil pH (to 5-6) and soil/pore water total organic C and total N concentrations, allowing an adequate plant growth and development (plants did not grow in untreated soils). The combination of amendments significantly reduced metal availability and showed to be effective (specially the one including the red mud derivative) in limiting shoot TE concentrations, which were all within common ranges (exclusion based tolerance of these species). Both protein carbonylation and lipid peroxidation were significantly higher in S. marianum plants from phytostabilized soils than in those from non-contaminated soils, which confirms the oxidative stress these plants suffer despite their satisfactory growth in the treated soils. P. miliaceum plants showed no differences between phytostabilized and non-contaminated soils. Therefore, the combination of amendments and TE-tolerant autochthonous species would be a suitable option for the phytostabilisation of soils contaminated by mining activities, reducing TE solubility and allowing an adequate plant growth.

Abstract
Background Emotional disorders, which include both anxiety and depressive disorders, are the most prevalent psychological disorders according to recent epidemiological studies. Consequently, public costs associated with their treatment have become a matter of concern for public health systems, which face long waiting lists. Because of their high prevalence in the population, finding an effective treatment for emotional disorders has become a key goal of today’s clinical psychology. The Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders might serve the aforementioned purpose, as it can be applied to a variety of disorders simultaneously and it can be easily performed in a group format. Methods The study is a multicenter, randomized, non-inferiority controlled clinical trial. Participants will be 220 individuals with emotional disorders, who are randomized to either a treatment as usual (individual cognitive behavioral therapy) or to a Unified Protocol condition in group format. Depression, anxiety, and diagnostic criteria are the primary outcome measures. Secondary measures include the assessment of positive and negative affect, anxiety control, personality traits, overall adjustment, and quality of life. An analysis of treatment satisfaction is also conducted. Assessment points include baseline, post-treatment, and three follow-ups at 3, 6, and 12 months. To control for missing data and possible biases, intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses will be performed. Discussion This is the first randomized, controlled clinical trial to test the effectiveness of a transdiagnostic intervention in a group format for the treatment of emotional disorders in public settings in Spain. Results obtained from this study may have important clinical, social, and economic implications for public mental health settings in Spain. Trial registration Retrospectively registered at https://clinicaltrials.gov/. Trial NCT03064477 (March 10, 2017). The trial is active and recruitment is ongoing. Recruitment is expected to finish by January 2020.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Medication reconciliation is currently one of the main strategies to reduce medication errors related to transitional care. OBJECTIVE To describe a method that would ensure continuity of patient care as regards drug therapy from admission to discharge. METHODS A description is presented on the methodology implemented in a tertiary hospital and the main results of medication reconciliation at admission and discharge of patients older than 75 years in the Trauma Unit during 2014. RESULTS The phases of the methodology were: 1. Obtain medication history (at least two sources of information); 2. Analysis of discrepancies and validation of medication on admission: A checklist was made to standardise the process, 3. Report on the pharmacotherapeutic profile: a form was designed in electronic medical records, and 4. Medication reconciliation at discharge and patient information: presenting the dosing schedule and recommendations to the patient. The medication of 318 patients admitted to Trauma was reconciled (294 at admission and discharge) by applying this methodology during the study period. There was at least one medication reconciliation error in 35% of cases. The mean error per patient reconciled was 0.69. Written discharge information was given to 74.1% of patients. CONCLUSIONS This methodology has allowed a workflow to be established that facilitates coordination between healthcare providers, in order to reduce medication errors and to respond to one of the main problems of continuity of care.

Abstract
The prevalence of anti-SSA (Ro) antibodies was investigated in 126 patients with various systemic rheumatic diseases and in 77 normal subjects. Also, we studied the relationship between these autoantibodies and the clinical features of our patients with SLE. Anti-SSA (Ro) occurred with a frequency of 14% in SLE but was not associated with specific clinical features of the disease. In Sjögren's syndrome the frequency was 25%, in rheumatoid arthritis 20.3% and in mixed connective tissue disease 15.4%. Finally, in the control group anti-SSA (Ro) antibodies were not present. We believe that the presence of this antibody is not specific to any rheumatic disease in our Mexican population, and should not be used as a "marker antibody" of some clinical features in patients with SLE.
