    Objetivo: evaluar la precisión diagnóstica de los criterios empleados para detectar el paciente realmente portador de microrganismos multi-resistentes (MMR) Diseño: Estudio prospectivo, observacional de mayo 2014 a mayo 2015 Ámbito: Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos polivalente. Pacientes cohorte de pacientes ingresados de forma consecutiva que cumplían los siguientes criterios de aislamiento preventivo: hospitalización de más de 4 días en los últimos 3 meses (“hospital”); antibioterapia durante una semana en el último mes (“antibiótico”), pacientes institucionalizados o en contacto con cuidados sanitarios (“institución o cuidado”); portador de MMR los últimos 6 meses (“MMR previo”). Variables: edad, sexo, Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3, tipo de paciente (médico vs quirúrgico), estancia en UCI, mortalidad en UCI, mortalidad hospitalaria y tiempo de aislamiento. Se realizó un análisis multivariable con regresión logística múltiple entre cada uno de los factores de riesgo y el que el paciente fuera realmente portador de MMR. Resultados: Durante el periodo de estudio ingresaron 575 pacientes y cumplieron los criterios un 28%. De los 162 pacientes con criterios 51 (31%) eran portadores de MMR y de los que no cumplían criterios 29 (7%) sí que tenían portadores. En el análisis multivariable la única variables asociada de forma independiente con el ser portador fue “MMR previo” con una OR 12.14 (IC 95% 4.24 - 34.77) Conclusiones El único criterio que se asoció de forma independiente con la capacidad de detectar los pacientes con MMR al ingreso en la UCI fue haber presentado un “MMR previo”

    Injury Incidence Increases after COVID-19 Infection: A Case Study with a Male Professional Football Team.
    (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022) Maestro, Antonio; Varillas Delgado, David; Morencos Martínez, Esther; Gutiérrez Hellín, Jorge; Aguilar Navarro, Millán; Revuelta, Gonzalo; Del Coso, Juan
    Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus disease has caused numerous changes in sports routines in the last two years, showing the influence on an increase in sports injuries. The aim of this study was to prospectively analyze the incidence and characteristics of injuries in male professional football players diagnosed with COVID-19 when they return to play after recovering from this illness. Methods: Injury characteristics of professional male football players were recorded for the 2020–2021 season following the international consensus statement from the International Olympic Committee (IOC). SARS-CoV-2 infection in the football players was certified by PCR analysis. Injury epidemiology was compared in players infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus before and after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Results: 14 players (53.8%) were diagnosed with COVID-19 during 2020–2021 season and 12 (46.2%) were not infected (controls). Only three (21.4%) had suffered an injury before being diagnosed with COVID-19. Eleven players (78.6%) had injuries after being diagnosed with COVID-19 (p < 0.001). Among the players diagnosed with COVID-19, injury incidence increased on their return to play after the infection (3.8 to 12.4 injuries/1000 h of exposure, p < 0.001). Additionally, injury incidence during training (10.6 vs. 5.1 injuries/1000 h of exposure, p < 0.001) and matches (56.3 vs. 17.6 injuries/1000 h of exposure, p < 0.001) was ~two-fold higher on return to play after COVID-19 compared to controls (33.4 vs. 17.6 injuries/1000 h of exposure, respectively, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Injury incidence in professional football players who had been infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus significantly increased compared to the injury rates that these same players had prior to the illness. Additionally, the injury incidence was higher when compared to players who were not infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the season, especially during matches

    Effectiveness of an Intervention Programme on Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet in a Preschool Child: A Randomised Controlled Trial.
    (Nutrients, 2022) Martíncrespo-Blanco, María Cristina; Varillas Delgado, David; Blanco Abril, Saray; Cid Exposito, María Gema; Robledo Marín, Juana
    Background: The Mediterranean diet is considered one of the dietary patterns with the most accumulated scientific evidence on health benefits. In children, it has positive effects in the prevention of obesity and cardiovascular diseases, as well as in the prevention of diabetes. We aimed to evaluate the medium-term efficacy of an intervention programme, targeting adherence to the Mediterranean diet among preschool children. Methods: In a randomised, parallel trial of participants aged 3–5 years, a school garden was attended in the experimental group, and in the control group, the usual content on the human body and health were taught. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was assessed using the KIDMED questionnaire, controlling for weight, height, body mass index (BMI) and socio-demographic variables. Results: A reduction in BMI was found in the experimental group after one year and at the end of the follow-up period. In the overall score obtained in the KIDMED survey, a statistical trend was found between the two groups (p = 0.076). In multivariate analysis, consumption of pulses more than once a week’ was predictive of improved diet quality, with an Odds Ratio (OR) in the experimental group of 1.382 (95% CI 1.126–1.695; p = 0.009). Conclusions: The experimental approach improved the quality of the participants’ diet, increasing adherence to the Mediterranean diet due to increased consumption of plant-based protein.

    Effect of p-Synephrine on Fat Oxidation Rate during Exercise of Increasing Intensity in Healthy Active Women.
    (Nutrients, 2022) Gutiérrez Hellín, Jorge; Aguilar Navarro, Millán; Ruiz Moreno, Carlos; Muñoz Moreno, Alejandro; Amaro-Gahete, Francisco J.; López Samanés, Álvaro; Posada Ayala, María; Del Coso, Juan; Varillas Delgado, David
    p-Synephrine is the principal alkaloid of bitter orange (Citrus aurantium). Several recent investigations have found that the intake of 2–3 mg/kg of p-synephrine raises fat oxidation rate during exercise of low-to-moderate intensity. However, these investigations have been carried out only with samples of male participants or mixed men/women samples. Therefore, the aim of this investigation was to study the effect of p-synephrine intake on fat oxidation during exercise of increasing intensity in healthy women. Using a double-blind, randomized experiment, 18 healthy recreationally active women performed two identical exercise trials after the ingestion of (a) 3 mg/kg of psynephrine and (b) 3 mg/kg of a placebo (cellulose). The exercise trials consisted of a ramp test (from 30 to 80% of maximal oxygen uptake; VO2max) on a cycle ergometer while substrate oxidation rates were measured at each workload by indirect calorimetry. In comparison to the placebo, the intake of p-synephrine increased resting tympanic temperature (36.1 ± 0.5 vs. 36.4 ± 0.4 °C p = 0.033, d = 0.87) with no effect on resting heart rate (p = 0.111) and systolic (p = 0.994) and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.751). During exercise, there was no significant effect of p-synephrine on fat oxidation rate (F = 0.517; p = 0.484), carbohydrate oxidation rate (F = 0.730; p = 0.795), energy expenditure rate (F = 0.480; p = 0.833), heart rate (F = 4.269; p = 0.068) and participant’s perceived exertion (F = 0.337; p = 0.580). The maximal rate of fat oxidation with placebo was 0.26 ± 0.10 g/min and it was similar with p-synephrine (0.28 ± 0.08 g/min, p = 0.449, d = 0.21). An acute intake of 3 mg/kg of p-synephrine before exercise did not modify energy expenditure and substrate oxidation during submaximal aerobic exercise in healthy active women. It is likely that the increase in resting tympanic temperature induced by p-synephrine hindered the effect of this substance on fat utilization during exercise in healthy active women.

    Subjective assessment reported by patients shows differences between single-bundle and double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, systematic review and meta-analysis.
    (Scientific Reports, 2021) Maestro, Antonio; Herruzo Priego, Irene; Varillas Delgado, David; Martín Saborido, Carlos
    To determine the functional recovery, active reincorporation, and anteroposterior and rotational stability of patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using arthroscopy techniques with simple-bundle (SB) or double-bundle (DB). The following databases were searched: PubMed, Embase (Elsevier platform), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Wiley platform), Web of Science, and CINAHL. Level I and II studies involving anterior cruciate ligament arthroscopy were included in the search. Records were screened by title and abstract and assessed the risk of bias of selected studies. Meta-analyses using RevMan 5.3 software were conducted on the following outcomes: knee functionality, objective measurements of knee stability, rotational knee stability and knee anterior stability, sports reincorporation, and subjective assessments. Twenty-four studies of patients undergoing ACL reconstruction were included in the qualitative and quantitative synthesis (1707 patients) for Lysholm score, Subjective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Tegner score, KT-1000/2000, Lachman test, Objective IKDC score, and Pivot-Shift test. A return to pre-injury level showed a significant decrease in the Lysholm score (mean difference, − 0.99; 95% CI − 1.71 to − 0.40; P = 0.007) and Tegner score (mean difference, − 0.07; 95% CI, − 0.13 to − 0.01; P = 0.02) at DB reconstruction, similar to the knee functionality outcome of the subjective IKDC score (mean difference − 1.42; 95% CI − 2.46 to − 0.38; P = 0.007). There is no clear or significant difference in clinical stability and knee function or in sports incorporation with the true difference occurring in the subjective assessment.

    Ocular chemical burns in the workplace: epidemiological characteristics of a Spanish cohort.
    (Burns, 2019) Moreno-Arrones Quesada, Jesús; Merayo Lloves, Jesús; Varillas Delgado, David
    Background Epidemiological studies focusing on occupational pathologies can be an important medium through which to bring about change with respect to workplace accidents, both in terms of prevention planning and management as well as the appropriate care following an accident. Ocular chemical burns benefit from urgent attention as, if not treated early and appropriately, the tissue of the eye and its functionality can be seriously compromised. The objective of this study was to collate epidemiological data on workplace ocular chemical burns which could in turn serve to identify key action points in terms of occupational health. Methods Cohort study with 604 cases of chemical burns to the eye occurring in the workplace between 2014 and 2015. Criteria inclusion were diagnosis of chemical burn, patient seen at the medical centre of the mutual society, workplace acquired ophthalmic pathology leading to the issuing of a sickness certificate. No exclusion criteria were defined. Results Ocular chemical burns were the second most common workplace eye injury (12.68%) behind foreign bodies in the eye (43.42%). Men accounted for 68.54% of cases of ocular chemical burns. In around 75% of cases, sickness certification was for less than 7 days, although 6 patients suffered permanent disability. The occupational sector which was most affected particularly the industry service industry. The economic costs with these workplace injuries were extracted. Conclusions Appropriate early medical assistance is essential. The production and distribution of clinical guides for health care workers could optimise first line assistance and mitigate possible training deficiencies.

    Genetic Profile in Genes Associated with Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Elite Spanish Male Endurance Athletes.
    (Genes, 2021) Varillas Delgado, David; Tellería Orriols, Juan José; Del Coso, Juan
    Background: most of the research concerning the influence of genetics on endurance performance has been carried out by investigating target genes separately. However, endurance performance is a complex trait that can stem from the interaction of several genes. The objective of this study was to compare the frequencies of polymorphisms in target genes involving cardiorespiratory functioning in elite endurance athletes vs. non-athlete controls. Methods: genotypic frequencies were determined in 123 elite endurance athletes and in 122 non-athletes. Genotyping of ACE (rs4340), NOS3 (rs2070744 and rs1799983), ADRA2a (rs1800544 and rs553668), ADRB2 (rs1042713 and rs1042714), and BDKRB2 (rs5810761) was performed by polymerase chain reaction. The total genotype score (TGS: from 0 to 100 arbitrary units; a.u.) was calculated from the genotype score in each polymorphism. Results: the mean TGS in non-athletes (47.72 ± 11.29 a.u.) was similar to elite endurance athletes (46.54 ± 11.32 a.u., p = 0.415). The distribution of TGS frequencies were also similar in non-athletes and elite endurance athletes (p = 0.333). There was no TGS cut-off point to discriminate being elite endurance athletes. Conclusions: the genetic profile in the selected genes was similar in elite endurance athletes and in controls, suggesting that the combination of these genes does not determine endurance performance.

    No diurnal variation is present in maximal fat oxidation during exercise in young healthy women.
    (European Journal of Sport Science, 2023) Robles González, Lidia; Aguilar Navarro, Millán; López Samanés, Álvaro; Ruiz Moreno, Carlos; Muñoz Moreno, Alejandro; Varillas Delgado, David; Gutiérrez Hellín, Jorge; Helge, Jørn W.; Ruiz, Jonatan R.; Amaro-Gahete, Francisco J.
    Maximal fat oxidation during exercise (MFO) and the intensity that elicits MFO (Fatmax) seems to show a diurnal variation in men, which favours an increased performance in the afternoon than the morning. At present, it remains unknown whether the observed MFO and Fatmax diurnal variation in men is also present in women. Therefore, the current study examined the diurnal variations of MFO and Fatmax in women. Nineteen healthy women (age: 26.9 ± 8.7 years, maximum oxygen uptake: 39.8 ± 6.5 ml/kg/min) participated in the study. MFO and Fatmax were determined by a graded exercise test in cycloergometer using a cross-over design performed on two separate daytime schedules, one conducted in the morning (8am–11am) and one in the afternoon (5pm–8pm). Stoichiometric equations were used to calculate fat oxidation rates. There were no significant differences between MFO-morning and MFO-afternoon (0.24 ± 0.10 vs. 0.23 ± 0.07 g/min, respectively; P = 0.681). Similarly, there was no significant differences between Fatmax-morning and Fatmax-afternoon (41.1 ± 4.7 vs. 42.6 ± 5.5% of maximal oxygen uptake, respectively; P = 0.305). These results persisted after controlling for fat mass percentage (all P > 0.5). In summary, the main finding of the present study was that MFO and Fatmax were similar independent of the time-of-day when the exercise test is performed in healthy women. These results have important clinical implications since they suggest that, in contrast to what was found in men, MFO and Fatmax show similar rates during the course of the day in women.

    Influence of intrauterine dispositive in human papillomavirus clearance.
    (European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 2018) Agenjo González, Marta; Lampaya Nasarre, Belén; Salazar, Fernando; Varillas Delgado, David; Cristóbal García, Ignacio
    Introduction: An important inverse relation between IUD use and risk of cervical cancer has been proved. Women who used IUD had half the risk of developing cervical cancer. The mechanism how IUD is a protector factor is still unknown. Could be improving the clearance of HPV infection or stopping progression to cancer from preneoplasic lesion. The aim of the study is to check if IUD increases HPV clearance, that is, checking if after 1 year HPV infection disappears in more patients using IUD than those not using it. Study design: This is a cohort case-control prospective study, carried out in Universitary Hospital La Zarzuela in Madrid, Spain, performed between October 2015 and April 2018. No pregnant women between 25–50 years old, with HPV cervical infection were enrolled. We separated the participants into two groups: an IUD group, with women starting using IUD and non IUD group, with women using any other contraceptive method or none. HPV genotyping of cervical cytology samples were performed initially on enrolment day and one year after. Results: 254 participants were enrolled at the beginning of the study, 85 in the IUD group and 169 in the control group (non IUD). 179 participants completed the study, 54 (31%) in IUD group and 120 participants in non IUD group (69%). 38 women from IUD group cleared HPV infection (69.5%) and 65 women from control group cleared it (54.2%) (p = 0.044). An association in logistic regression was observed in HPV clearance with different factors. Firstly, higher percentage of patients with IUD clear the HPV infection than those in control group significantly associated (OR = 0.698, CI 95%; 0.251–0.998, p = 0.046). Clearance was higher in patients with low-risk HPV infection comparing with high risk HPV (OR = 1.078, CI 95%; 1.126–4.6.281, p = 0.026) and in patients with only one HPV type than those with more than one (OR = 0.194, CI 95%; 0.084–0.403, p<0.001). Conclusions: In Spanish women with HPV infection, the HPV clearance between IUD and non IUD groups show results with statistical significance, patients with IUD have higher clearance rates. There were differences also between suffering one HPV type or more than one, and having low-risk HPV or high-risk HPV infection.
