Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several classifications of psychodermatology disorders have been proposed, with most of them based on two to four main disorder category groups. However, there is, to date, no classification that has resulted from a consensus established by psychodermatology experts. The DSM-5-TR (Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed.), Text Revision) and the ICD-11 (International classification of diseases (11th revision)) also do not provide a systematized approach of psychodermatology disorders. Taking into consideration that classifications are a key pillar for a comprehensive approach to the pathologies of each branch of medicine, the proposal of a classification in psychodermatology appeared as a central need for the recognition of psychodermatological disorders, in an attempt to improve their recognition and, in that sense, to find a common language for the development of this subspecialty that crosses dermatology and psychiatry. METHODS Previously published classifications in psychodermatology were critically reviewed and discussed by expert opinion from an international multidisciplinary panel of 16 experts in psychodermatology and a new classification system is proposed, considering classical concepts in general dermatology and psychopathology. RESULTS Two main categories of disorders are presented (a main group related to primary mental health disorders and another main group related to primary skin disorders), which are subsequently subdivided into subgroups considering pathophysiological and phenomenological similarities, including key aspects of dermatological examination, namely the presence of visible skin lesions (primary and secondary skin lesions) and psychopathological correlates. CONCLUSION This new classification aims to unify previous classifications, systematize the disorders that belong to psychodermatology and highlight their tenuous boundaries, to improve their management. It has been built and approved by the Psychodermatology Task Force of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV), the European Society for Dermatology and Psychiatry (ESDaP) and the Association for Psychoneurocutaneous Medicine of North America (APMNA).

Abstract
AbstractNarratives are present in many forms of human expression and can be understood as a fundamental way of communication between people. Computational understanding of the underlying story of a narrative, however, may be a rather complex task for both linguists and computational linguistics. Such task can be approached using natural language processing techniques to automatically extract narratives from texts. In this paper, we present an in depth survey of narrative extraction from text, providing a establishing a basis/framework for the study roadmap to the study of this area as a whole as a means to consolidate a view on this line of research. We aim to fulfill the current gap by identifying important research efforts at the crossroad between linguists and computer scientists. In particular, we highlight the importance and complexity of the annotation process, as a crucial step for the training stage. Next, we detail methods and approaches regarding the identification and extraction of narrative components, their linkage and understanding of likely inherent relationships, before detailing formal narrative representation structures as an intermediate step for visualization and data exploration purposes. We then move into the narrative evaluation task aspects, and conclude this survey by highlighting important open issues under the domain of narratives extraction from texts that are yet to be explored.

Abstract
6-Nitrodopamine is a novel catecholamine released by vascular tissues, heart, and vas deferens. The aim of this study was to investigate whether 6-nitrodopamine is released from the thoracic aorta and pulmonary artery rings of marmosets (Callithrix spp.) and to evaluate the relaxing and anti-contractile actions of this catecholamine. Release of 6-nitrodopamine, dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline was assessed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The relaxations induced by 6-nitrodopamine and by the selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist L-741,626 were evaluated on U-46619 (3 nM)-pre-contracted vessels. The effects of 6-nitrodopamine and L-741,626 on the contractions induced by electric-field stimulation (EFS), dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline were also investigated. Both aorta and pulmonary artery rings exhibited endothelium-dependent release of 6-nitrodopamine, which was significantly reduced by the NO synthesis inhibitor L-NAME. Addition of 6-nitrodopamine or L-741,626 caused concentration-dependent relaxations of both vascular tissues, which were almost abolished by endothelium removal, whereas L-NAME and the soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor ODQ had no effect on 6-nitrodopamine-induced relaxations. Additionally, pre-incubation with 6-nitrodopamine antagonized the dopamine-induced contractions, without affecting the noradrenaline- and adrenaline-induced contractions. Pre-incubation with L-741,626 antagonized the contractions induced by all catecholamines. The EFS-induced contractions were significantly increased by L-NAME, but unaffected by ODQ. Immunohistochemical assays showed no immunostaining of the neural tissue markers S-100 and calretinin in either vascular tissue. The results indicated that 6-nitrodopamine is the major catecholamine released by marmoset vascular tissues, and it acts as a potent and selective antagonist of dopamine D2-like receptors. 6-nitrodopamine release may be the major mechanism by which NO causes vasodilatation.

Abstract
AIMS In recent years, major improvements in breast cancer treatments have led to a significant increase in survival. Despite that, this population's quality of life (QoL) information is lacking, especially real-world data. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective, multicentre, observational study of female breast cancer patients, without prior systemic treatment, treated between 2012 and 2019 in private health care in Brazil. QoL was assessed by two questionnaires, the EQ-5D-5L and the EORTC-QLQ-BR23. Additional data were retrospectively collected. RESULTS The study comprised 1372 patients, most with early-stage disease (80.2% stages 0-II). At a median follow-up of 25.6 months, the estimated 3-year overall survival was 93.6%. Patients with locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer had the lowest visual analogue scale scores and the highest symptom burden in all dimensions of EQ-5D-5L, but with the most significant improvement after treatment. With the EORTC-QLQ-BR23 questionnaire, patients undergoing lumpectomy had a better perception of body image. Axillary dissection led to greater arm symptoms after 12 months, radiotherapy enhanced breast symptoms and patients treated with chemotherapy had significant worsening in the effects of systemic therapy compared with endocrine or HER2 therapy. Staging and immunohistochemical subtype correlated with survival and with several QoL parameters, but overall survival was not independently affected by patient-reported outcomes in this cohort. CONCLUSION Our results show that early diagnosis and access to treatments with fewer side-effects, such as endocrine or targeted therapy, and less aggressive surgeries are the best strategies to achieve a better QoL for breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Condyloma acuminatum is a common clinical outcome of human papillomavirus (HPV) in men. A prospective investigation was performed of the clinical and molecular profile of 122 patients with condyloma acuminatum treated by the Brazilian public healthcare system. The patients were evaluated clinically. The fragments were submitted to molecular analysis for the identification of HPV genotypes. A total of 104 (85.2%) patients presented multiple warts and 18 (14.8%) presented a single wart. The predominant location was the body of the penis (48.4% of cases of multiple warts and 7.4% of cases of single warts), and 49 (40.2%) cases were recurrences and 73 (59.8%) were initial occurrences. Regarding sexual activity, 56 patients (45.9%) had multiple partners and 65 (53.3%) had a single partner. The most frequent genotype was HPV6 (70%). In conclusion, the most frequent anatomic location of condyloma acuminatum was the body of the penis in the present sample. The present findings suggest that the natural history of infection by HPV is not yet completely known and that greater care is needed to ensure clinical safety in the follow-up of these patients due to the oncogenic potential.

Abstract
Background As a consequence of the decentralization of health care provision to the different Regions (called Autonomous Communities) in Spain, different health care models and resources have been developed for psychiatric patients. It would be very useful to obtain comprehensive and comparative data on health care models, resources, and activity of acute inpatient psychiatric units (AIPUs) as a key part of mental health systems. Objective The aim of this study was to determine the current state of AIPUs in Spain through a national scorecard that allows the current situation to be visualized in terms of resources, processes, and outputs. Methods A 104-item online questionnaire was sent to all the AIPUs of the different Regions in Spain. It was divided into 11 sections, including data on the resources, processes, and outputs of the AIPUs plus general data, an indicator dashboard, and good practices. Results The questionnaire was completed by 60.0% (117/195) of the AIPUs invited to participate. The information collected has allowed us to obtain a detailed snapshot of the current situation of AIPUs in Spain at the levels of infrastructure and material resources, staffing, organization and activity of the units, coordination with other units, guidelines, processes and protocols used, participation and communication with patients and their families, teaching activity, and research linked to the units. Conclusions This project aimed to help understand the general situation of AIPUs in Spain and its different Regions, contribute to enhancing the benchmarking and harmonization among Spanish Regions, and provide data for future comparisons with other countries.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Excessive Internet use can negatively affect academic performance, family relationships and emotional development among the youth. Such issues have been identified as Internet addiction (IA). We aimed to determine the prevalence of IA among Portuguese adolescents and assess how parental control can relate to IA. METHODS An observational cross-sectional study was performed at public schools within a Portuguese region, using Young's Internet Addiction Test survey. General sociodemographic and emotional well-being data were obtained. A descriptive and bivariate analysis was done among Internet-addicted and average users, followed by a logistic regression analysis. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) were computed with two-sided P values < .05 for statistical significance. RESULTS A total of 1916 eligible responses were obtained. Mean age was 15 ± 1.8 years, with a slight predominance of female (53.3%) participants. In our sample, 16.5% were deemed Internet addicted and less likely to have any parental control over Internet use (aOR 0.74, P <.05). Moreover, 28% of the Internet-addicted users were less likely to have control over time spent online (aOR 0.72, P < .05), and close to half were unlikely to have online content restrictions (aOR 0.56, P < .01). CONCLUSIONS Our findings reported a significant rate of Internet-addicted youth. IA was negatively related to parental control. Whenever any kind of parental control over Internet use was reported, IA was less likely to occur. Healthcare professionals should be aware of the risks of IA in adolescents to improve its prevention and intervention.

Abstract
Resumo Diversas cidades têm incluído a arte urbana como parte das suas estratégias de promoção e planeamento turístico. Este facto deriva de uma gradual valorização social e legitimação institucional deste tipo de expressões estéticas presentes no espaço público. Em muitas cidades deparamo-nos, hoje, com processos de turistificação da arte urbana, uma dinâmica que está dependente de um conjunto de atores sociais. A turistificação da arte urbana tem consequências, não só ao nível da constituição da oferta turística da cidade, mas também ao nível das relações e interações que se estabelecem entre operadores e guias, turistas, artistas, instituições e comunidades locais. Com este artigo pretendemos refletir sobre a articulação entre a arte urbana e o sector turístico, partindo de um conjunto de dados preliminares de natureza qualitativa recolhidos no âmbito de um projeto em curso sobre arte urbana em Lisboa.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommends the use of a 0/1h-algorithm for rapid triage of patients with suspected non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). To date, its impact on patient management and ultimately also safety when routinely applied in emergency departments (ED) is unknown. We therefore aimed to determine these important real-world outcome data.
Methods
In a prospective international multicenter study enrolling unselected patients presenting with suspected NSTEMI to the ED, we assessed the real-world feasibility, adherence, efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of the ESC 0/1h-algorithm using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T embedded in routine clinical care. Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions were excluded. Safety was quantified by the 30-day incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE, defined as the composite of cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction including the index event) in the rule-out group and in outpatients.
Results
Among 2296 patients, NSTEMI prevalence was 9.8% (224/2296). Feasibility was very high with a median time to the “1h-draw” of 65 minutes [q1 61, q3 72]. Adherence was very high with 94% (95% confidence interval [CI], 93–95) of patients managed without protocol violations. Effectiveness was very high: 98% (95% CI, 97–98) of patients triaged towards rule-out by the ESC 0/1h-algorithm did not require additional cardiac investigations including hs-cTnT measurements at later time points (e.g. 3–12h) or coronary CT-angiography in the ED. Median time to discharge from the ED was 150 [q1134, q3235] minutes in the overall population. The ESC 0/1h-algorithm triaged 62% (95% CI, 60–64) of patients towards rule-out and 13% (95% CI, 12–14) towards rule-in of NSTEMI. Overall, 71% (95% CI, 69–72) of patients underwent outpatient management (Figure 1). Safety of rule-out and outpatient management were very high with a 30-day MACE incidence of 0.2% (95% CI, 0–0.5) and 0.1% (95% CI, 0–0.2), respectively. These findings were consistent in several predefined subgroups.

Conclusions
These real-world data document the excellent feasibility, adherence, effectiveness, efficacy and safety of the ESC 0/1h-algorithm for the rapid management of patients presenting with suspected NSTEMI to the ED when applied in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The ESC recommends the use of a 0/1h-algorithm for rapid triage of patients with suspected non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) concentrations irrespective of renal function. Patients with renal dysfunction (RD, defined as a GFR <60ml/min) are at higher risk of NSTEMI and are presenting more often with elevated levels of hs-cTn even in absence of NSTEMI, which may contribute to an impaired efficacy and safety of the ESC 0/1h-algorithm.
Purpose
We aimed to assess and directly compare the real-world adherence, effectiveness, efficacy, and ultimately safety of the ESC 0/1h-algorithm when applied in patients with RD and normal renal function.
Methods
In a prospective international multicenter study enrolling unselected patients presenting with suspected NSTEMI to the ED, patients were assessed according to the ESC 0/1h-algorithm embedded in routine clinical care. Safety was quantified by the 30-day incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE, defined as the composite of cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction including the index event) in the rule-out group and in outpatients.
Results
Among 2296 enrolled patients, RD was present in 129 (6%) patients. NSTEMI prevalence was substantially higher in RD as compared with normal renal function (19% versus 9%, p<0.001). Adherence to the ESC 0/1h-algorithm protocol was excellent with no violations observed in patients with RD as compared with 132 (6%) violations in patients with normal renal function (p=0.004). Effectiveness was very high in RD and comparable to normal renal function: 94% of patients triaged towards rule-out by the ESC 0/1h-algorithm did not require additional cardiac investigations including hs-cTnT measurements at later time points (e.g. 3–12h) or coronary CT-angiography in the ED as compared with 98% in normal renal function. Median time to discharge or transfer from the ED was significantly longer in RD (285 minutes [q1174, q3392]) as compared with normal renal function (150 minutes [q1132, q3222]). Efficacy of the ESC 0/1h-algorithm was lower in RD as it triaged 13% of patients towards rule-out and 34% towards rule-in of NSTEMI as compared with 65% and 12% in normal renal function, respectively (p<0.001). Overall, 30% of patients with RD underwent outpatient management as compared with 73% in normal renal function (p<0.001). Safety of rule-out and outpatient management were excellent in RD with a 30-day MACE incidence of both 0% and comparable with 0.2% and 0.1% in normal renal function, respectively (p=0.010).
Conclusions
These real-world data document for the first time the excellent adherence, effectiveness, and safety of the ESC 0/1h-algorithm when routinely applied in patients with RD. Compared with patients with normal renal function, fewer patients with RD could be triaged towards rule-out or were treated as outpatients, most likely due to the higher prevalence of NSTEMI and comorbidities in RD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and confers a significant burden to morbidity and mortality. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels have provided a significant contribution in the early diagnosis of cardiovascular events; however, the significance of hs-cTnT elevation in the setting of acute AF is not clearly understood.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors associated with hs-cTnT elevation and its prognostic implication in patients with acute AF.
Methods
This single-center prospective study included 406 consecutive patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) with acute AF. Acute AF was defined as a rapid, irregular, and chaotic atrial activity of <48 hours' duration including both the first symptomatic onset of chronic or persistent AF, and episodes of paroxysmal AF. The association between hs-cTnT and outcomes were evaluated using multivariate analyses.
Results
The mean age of the population was 67.3±12.2 and 74% were male. The median time from the onset of symptoms to ED consultation was 230 minutes (interquartile range: 123–450 minutes). The median hs-cTnT value was 12 ng/L, with 39% of patients with values above the 99 thpercentile. AF was reverted to sinus rhythm in 76% of the patients (83% attempted cardioversion). At one-year, AF recurrence was observed in 38% of the patients and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (death, myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome or stroke) were observed in 6% of the patients. After adjusting for demographic and clinical characteristics in multivariate analysis, hs-cTnT elevation was associated with increasing age and left atrial area (p=0.001). Hs-cTnT levels were not associated with 1-year AF recurrence (p=0.132) or with AF reversion (p=0.869). Hs-cTnT levels were significantly higher in patients who experienced MACE at 1-year (12 ng/L vs 24 ng/L, p=0.001) and hs-cTnT was a predictor of MACE on multivariate analysis (OR 3.486, 95% CI 1.256–5.379, p=0.009).
Variable Result AF rate 110 (90–118) Atrial area, cm2 22 (19–27) Cardioversion attemped 82.5%
Conclusions
Hs-cTnT elevation accounted for a large proportion of patients with acute AF. Elevated levels of hs-cTnT were not associated with AF reversion or with 1-year AF recurrence, however hs-cTnT was highly predictive of MACE at 1-year.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommends the use of a 0/1h-algorithm for rapid triage of patients with suspected non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn). Concerns were articulated about its efficacy and particularly safety when applied in patients presenting early (≤3 hours) after chest pain onset, as hs-cTn concentrations might still be very low or even undetectable in these high-risk patients.
Purpose
We aimed to assess the real-world effectiveness, efficacy, and ultimately safety of the ESC 0/1h-algorithm when routinely applied in early presenters.
Methods
In a prospective international multicenter study enrolling unselected patients presenting with suspected NSTEMI to the ED, patients were assessed according to the ESC 0/1h-algorithm using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T embedded in routine clinical care. Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions were excluded. Safety was quantified by the 30-day incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE, defined as the composite of cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction including the index event) in the rule-out group and in outpatients.
Results
Among 2296 patients, 819 (36%) were early presenters. NSTEMI prevalence in early presenters was 11%. Effectiveness was very high as 97% of patients triaged towards rule-out by the ESC 0/1h-algorithm did not require additional cardiac investigations including hs-cTnT measurements at later time points (e.g. 3–12h) or coronary CT-angiography in the ED. Median time to discharge or transfer from the ED was 150 minutes [q1130, q3215]. Efficacy of the ESC 0/1h-algorithm was very high: 67% of patients were triaged towards rule-out and 14% towards rule-in of NSTEMI. Overall, 75% of early presenters underwent outpatient management. Safety of rule-out and outpatient management were excellent in early presenters with a 30-day MACE incidence of both 0% and comparable with 0.3% and 0.1% in late presenters, respectively (p=ns).
Conclusions
These real-world data document for the first time the excellent effectiveness, efficacy and particularly safety of the ESC 0/1h-algorithm when routinely applied in early presenters. No differences in safety could be observed when compared with late presenters.

Abstract
Background In a significant percentage of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, tumor tissue is unavailable or insufficient for genetic analyses. We prospectively analyzed if circulating-free DNA (cfDNA) purified from blood can be used as a surrogate in this setting to select patients for treatment with epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). Patients and methods Blood samples were collected in 119 hospitals from 1138 advanced NSCLC patients at presentation (n = 1033) or at progression to EGFR-TKIs (n = 105) with no biopsy or insufficient tumor tissue. Serum and plasma were sent to a central laboratory, cfDNA purified and EGFR mutations analyzed and quantified using a real-time PCR assay. Response data from a subset of patients (n = 18) were retrospectively collected. Results Of 1033 NSCLC patients at presentation, 1026 were assessable; with a prevalence of males and former or current smokers. Sensitizing mutations were found in the cfDNA of 113 patients (11%); with a majority of females, never smokers and exon 19 deletions. Thirty-one patients were positive only in plasma and 11 in serum alone and mutation load was higher in plasma and in cases with exon 19 deletions. More than 50% of samples had <10 pg mutated genomes/µl with allelic fractions below 0.25%. Patients treated first line with TKIs based exclusively on EGFR positivity in blood had an ORR of 72% and a median PFS of 11 months. Of 105 patients screened after progression to EGFR-TKIs, sensitizing mutations were found in 56.2% and the p.T790M resistance mutation in 35.2%. Conclusions Large-scale EGFR testing in the blood of unselected advanced NSCLC patients is feasible and can be used to select patients for targeted therapy when testing cannot be done in tissue. The characteristics and clinical outcomes to TKI treatment of the EGFR-mutated patients identified are undistinguishable from those positive in tumor.

Abstract
Based on an analysis of the discourses, the ideological appropriation and the practical influence of mental hygiene in Spanish psychiatry during the early years of the Francoist regime, this article examines its decline and subsequent replacement by the new concept of mental health promoted by the World Health Organization and other international bodies from the mid-twentieth century. The old approach, essentially focused on the prophylaxis of insanity within the framework of a set of interventionist policies of social defence, was thus transformed from the beginning of the 1960s into a much more ambitious and comprehensive project which sought to promote the psychosocial balance and performance of individuals in the context of increasingly socialized health-related discourses and networks of care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) show difficulties in attributing false beliefs, whereas they are better at attributing emotions. This study examines whether being asked about the emotion linked to a false belief, instead of explicitly about the belief, facilitates performance on theory of mind (ToM) tasks. METHOD Thirty children with WS and 90 typically developing children, who were individually matched on mental age (50-112 months), were administered six explicit (i.e. questions on belief) and six implicit (i.e. questions on emotion) trials of false belief tasks. RESULTS Theory of mind competences were related to cognitive development. Children with WS performed comparably to typically developing children on the emotion questions. CONCLUSION Correct answers to questions on emotion reveal an implicit understanding of false belief. The Representational redescription process could be impaired in the domain of ToM in this population. This finding has relevant implications for the design of supports aiming to optimise the development of ToM competences in individuals with WS.

Abstract
Se evaluó el efecto sobre la producción de metano de la inclusión creciente (25, 50 y 75 %) de cinco plantas nativas de sabanas inundables (Senna occidentalis, Enterolobium schomburgkii, Galactia jussiaeana, Belencita nemorosa y Ambrosia peruviana), sobre una dieta base de Brachiaria humidicola. Los tratamientos fueron incubados anaeróbicamente con fluido ruminal a 39°C por 24 h y después del proceso de fermentación, se determinó la producción de gas, metano, ácidos grasos volátiles (AGV), amonio y degradación de la materia seca (MSD). La inclusión en la dieta de 50 y 75% de todas las plantas, incrementaron el contenido de amonio ruminal, con valores entre 189 - 282 mg/L. Ninguna de las plantas modificó la concentración de AGVT (44-62 mmol/L). La producción de metano no se redujo significativamente con ningún tratamiento (p>0,05), aunque con S. occidentalis (75%) este parámetro fue inferior en un 18%, además, se incrementó la MSD y los niveles de butirato, isobutirato y valerato. Con E. schomburgkii (75%), la metanogénesis también se redujo en un 15%, sin embargo, este efecto estuvo acompañado de una disminución en la MSD y producción de gas. En conclusión, ninguna de las plantas mostró potencial para reducir la producción de metano, no obstante, las especies se convierten en alternativas nutricionales útiles para complementar el aporte proteico de la dieta en los sistemas ganaderos ubicados en condiciones de sabanas inundables.

Abstract
Fire is one of the most relevant ecological disturbances in nature. Little is known about the effects of fire on biodiversity in ecosystems like rupestrian grasslands, which share characteristics with savanna and forest biomes. Brazilian rupestrian grasslands are part of an endangered ecosystem that has been modified by anthropogenic fire events that have become more intense in recent decades. In this study, we evaluated the effects of fire on ground and arboreal ant assemblages through a two-year monitoring program (24 monthly samplings). We found that fire does not change cumulative species richness after 24 months, and that fire does not affect mean ant richness, abundance, and species composition in arboreal ants. On the other hand, fire increased mean ground ant species richness and abundance, and caused a significant change in species composition. Our results indicate a weak and beneficial effect of fire only for ground ant communities, which generally agrees with results from other studies in Brazilian savannas. Taken together, results from these studies may be useful for improvement of fire suppression policy in fire-prone habitats in Brazil.

Abstract
In this paper, we study the ideological bases of mental hygiene, understood as racial and moral hygiene, during the first years of Franco's regime and their evolution until 1960. First, we discuss the conceptualization of mental hygiene in the 1940s and its role as a tool for the legitimization of dictatorship, revealing the involvement of orthodox Catholicism and its links with moral and racial hygiene. Second, we assess the transformation of mental hygiene during the 1950s towards modernization and a stronger linkage with the dominant trends of contemporary psychiatry without ever leaving the ideological background of Catholicism. For this purpose, we will focus on analysis of the activities of the Mental Hygiene Week held in Barcelona in 1954 and on the creation in 1955 of the National Board of Psychiatric Care, which took on mental hygiene as one of its functions. This paper shows the close relationship of mental hygiene during the early years of Francoism with the political principles of the Dictatorship. The 1940s witnessed the deployment of a harsh discourse in which mental hygiene was a tool for the (moral and spiritual) education of the Spanish people in the political principles of the "New State", pathologizing political dissent and ideologically purifying the country. In the 1950s, Francoist mental hygiene underwent a process of aggiornamento marked by international political events following the defeat of fascism in World War II, advancing a project for (authoritarian) modernization in an international context already directed towards mental health.

Abstract
This paper examines some of the main elements that shaped eugenic discourse and practices during the first decades of the Franco regime. It primarily addresses the ideological basis of racial hygiene stemming from Francoist medicine and psychiatry, examining its relationship with the concept of Spanishness (Hispanidad). It shows that Francoist eugenics had punitive and coercive aspects and outlines the role it played in the brutal repression unleashed against the regime's political enemies, constructing its anti-Spanish identity. The paper also explores how the Catholic Church accepted eugenics as long as it was not linked to neo-Malthusianism and did not propagate sterilization, contraception, and abortion. In this respect, the paper examines the Catholic Church's position on the premarital certificate and counseling.

Abstract
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) have long been considered the link between one generation and the next. PGC specification begins in the early embryo as a result of a highly orchestrated combination of transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms. Understanding the molecular events that lead to proper PGC development will facilitate the development of new treatments for human infertility as well as species conservation. This article describes the latest, most relevant findings about the mechanisms of PGC formation, emphasizing human PGC. It also discusses our own laboratory's progress in using transdifferentiation protocols to derive human PGCs (hPGCs). Our preliminary results arose from our pursuit of a sequential hPGC induction strategy that starts with the repression of lineage-specific factors in the somatic cell, followed by the reactivation of germ cell-related genes using specific master regulators, which can indeed reactivate germ cell-specific genes in somatic cells. While it is still premature to assume that fully functional human gametes can be obtained in a dish, our results, together with those recently published by others, provide strong evidence that generating their precursors, PGCs, is within reach.

Abstract
Mepraia species are hematophagous insects and the most important wild vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease in southeastern South America. Because the domestic Triatoma infestans is already controlled, the transmission of different T. cruzi discrete typing units (DTUs) by Mepraia species deserves attention. Our aim is to gather information on the diversity of T. cruzi DTUs circulating in natural insect populations. Two groups of naturally infected bugs 21 Mepraia gajardoi and 26 Mepraia spinolai were followed-up after two or more laboratory feedings by means of minicircle-PCR assays to evaluate the composition of four T. cruzi DTUs by hybridization tests. Fluctuations from positive T. cruzi detection to negative and the converse, as well as single to mixed infections with different T. cruzi DTUs and the opposite were frequent observations after laboratory feeding in both Mepraia species. Single and mixed infections with more than two T. cruzi DTUs were detected after the first feeding; however mainly mixed infections prevailed after the second feeding. Laboratory feeding on three or more occasions resulted in a decreasing trend of the parasite burden. In a comparison with 28 infected and fed M. gajardoi collected one year before from the same vector colony T. cruzi DTUs composition changed, indicating that temporal variations occur in T. cruzi. Natural populations of Mepraia species can transmit complex mixtures T. cruzi DTUs which fluctuate over time after feeding, with a tendency to eliminate the parasitism after prolonged feeding.

Abstract
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from chronic hepatitis C virus-infected persons can harbour viral variants that are not detected in plasma samples. We explored the presence and persistence of HCV genotypes in plasma and PBMC cultures from 25 HCV-monoinfected and 25 HIV/HCV-coinfected patients with haemophilia. Cell cultures were performed at different time points between 1993 and 2010-2011, and the HCV genome was examined in culture supernatants. Sequential plasma samples were studied during the same time period. Analysing sequential plasma samples, 21% of patients had mixed-genotype infections, while 50% had mixed infections determined from PBMC culture supernatants. HIV coinfection was significantly associated with the presence of mixed infections (OR = 4.57, P = 0.02; 95% CI = 1.38-15.1). In our previous study, genotype 1 was found in 72% of 288 patients of this cohort. Similar results were obtained with the sequential plasma samples included in this study, 69% had genotype 1. However, when taking into account plasma samples and the results from PBMC supernatants, genotype 1 was identified in 94% of the population. The PBMC-associated variants persisted for 10 years in some subjects, emphasizing their role as long-term reservoirs. The presence of genotype 1 in PBMC may be associated with therapeutic failure and should not be disregarded when treating haemophilic patients who have been infected by contaminated factor concentrates. The clinical implications of persistent lymphotropic HCV variants deserve further examination among multiple exposed groups of HCV-infected patients.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a serious global health problem. Approximately 2 billion people worldwide have been infected, and approximately 350 million individuals currently suffer from HBV-induced chronic liver infection, which causes 600,000 deaths annually from chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV is classified in eight genotypes (A-H), and two more have been proposed (I-J). In this paper, complete genome sequences of nine Uruguayan HBV are reported. Five samples belong to genotype F1b and one to genotype A2. Three HBV recombinants were detected: A1/F1b, A2/F1b and D3/F1b. The following mutations were detected: a G1896A substitution, a 33-nucleotide deletion from position 2896 to 2928 in the Pre-S1 region involving Pre-S1 residues 3-13, a 33-nt deletion in the Pre-S1 region involving nt 2913-2945 and Pre-S1 residues 9-19. More F genotypes strains than expected were detected in this study, supporting the hypothesis that there are more people of indigenous origin than declared in our population. Also, one third of the samples analyzed were recombinants. This cannot be explained by the low HBV prevalence in Uruguay, but a high HBV infection rate in drug addicts and dialysis patients could act in favor of multiple-genotype HBV infections that could lead to recombination.
