The Role of Copper Intake in Bone Health
(1) Background: Copper is a crucial trace element which is vital to growth and development and is especially important in bone health. Copper intake is now the focus of much broader research beyond its associations with nail growth, looking at copper’s potential in contributing to bone integrity to prevent a high risk of osteoporosis as well. (2) Methods: This study included postmenopausal women from a larger longitudinal study conducted between …
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on self-esteem and body image in Spanish adolescents
Adolescents in the postpandemic group had worse self-esteem and body image scores, and adolescents in this group were more likely to be female and had a greater risk of low self-esteem and body dissatisfaction
Spanish Healthcare Institutions and Their Role in Social Media-Driven Influenza Vaccination Campaigns
Social media plays a crucial role in health information dissemination, yet it also raises concerns about misinformation. This study examines the role of Spanish health centers in promoting influenza vaccination on social networks, particularly X (formerly Twitter), during the 2023–2024 campaign. An observational, retrospective study analyzed the activity of 832 Spanish health centers on X. Data collection focused on the existence of official acco…
Nurses’ Perceptions of Ethical Conflicts When Caring for Patients with Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused ethical challenges and dilemmas in care decisions colliding with nurses' ethical values. This study sought to understand the perceptions and ethical conflicts faced by nurses working on the frontline during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic and the main coping strategies. A qualitative phenomenological study was carried out following Giorgi's descriptive phenomenological approach. Data were colle…
Body Composition and Nutrients Dietary Intake Changes during Covid-19 Lockdown in Spanish Healthy Postmenopausal Women
(1) Background: During the COVID-19 lockdown, high rates of physical inactivity and dietary imbalances were reported in both adults and adolescents. Physical separation and isolation not only have a significant impact on the performance of physical activity but also affect people’s lives, particularly their dietary habits. In the present study, we aimed to examine whether or not bioelectrical impedance-derived body composition parameters and diet…
Depressed Mood after Stroke
PSD is highly prevalent after stroke and is associated with the severity, left location of the stroke, and the degree of disability at discharge. Its impact justifies the evaluation and early treatment that still continues to be a challenge today
Impact of a Postoperative Intervention Educational Program on the Quality of Life of Patients with Hip Fracture
The objective of this study was to determine the impact of a postoperative educational intervention program on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with hip fracture using a controlled clinical trial in a randomized, multicenter study. In total, 102 patients (45.5%) from trauma units at the two University Hospitals of the province of Cáceres received the educational program, whereas 122 (54.5%) did not. Patients were consecutive…
Method for Malaria Diagnosis Based on Extractions of Samples Using Non-Invasive Techniques
Malaria has been for millennia one of the best known and most destructive diseases affecting humans. Its high impact has aroused great interest for the development of new effective and reliable diagnostic techniques. Recently it has been recently published that hairs from mammal hosts are able to capture, hold and finally remove foreign DNA sequences of Leishmania parasites. The aim of this study was to check if Plasmodium falciparum ( P. falcipa…
