Med Clin (Barc). 2024 Apr 19:S0025-7753(24)00137-4. doi: 10.1016/j.medcli.2024.02.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMigraine is a disease with a high prevalence and incidence, in addition to being highly disabling, causing a great impact on the patient's quality of life at a personal, family and work level, but also social, given its high expense due to its direct (care) and indirect (presenteeism and work absenteeism) costs. The multiple and recent developments in its pathophysiological knowledge and in its therapy require updating and, therefore, in this article the Spanish scientific societies most involved in its stud...

Arbovirus - a threat to transfusion safety in Spain: a narrative review
Med Clin (Barc). 2024 Apr 19:S0025-7753(24)00166-0. doi: 10.1016/j.medcli.2024.01.028. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTArboviruses represent a threat to transfusion safety for several reasons: the presence of vectors and the notification of autochthonous cases in our region, the recent increase in the number of cases transmitted through blood and/or blood component transfusion, the high prevalence rates of RNA of the main arboviruses in asymptomatic blood donors, and their ability to survive processing and storage in the different blood components. In an epidemic outbreak caused by an arbovirus in our region, transfusion cen...

Effect of probiotics on cognitive function in adults with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis found that probiotic supplementation is associated with an improvement in cognitive performance among patients with AD and MCI. However, current evidence is limited, and more reliable large-scale RCTs with higher methodological quality are needed.PMID:38641508 | DOI:10.1016/j.medcli.2024.01.013 (Source: Medicina Clinica)

Bronchiectasis not due to cystic fibrosis
Med Clin (Barc). 2024 Apr 17:S0025-7753(24)00145-3. doi: 10.1016/j.medcli.2024.01.023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBronchiectasis is a clinical-radiological condition composed of irreversible bronchial dilation due to inflammation and infection of the airways, which causes respiratory symptoms, usually productive cough and infectious exacerbations. Bronchiectasis can have multiple causes, both pulmonary and extrapulmonary, and its clinical presentation is very heterogenous. Its prevalence is unknown, although up to 35-50% of severe COPD and 25% of severe asthma present them, so their underdiagnosis is evident. Chronic ba...

Associated factors with the occurrence of in-hospital cardiac arrest in patients admitted to internal medicine wards for non-cardiovascular causes
CONCLUSION: In admitted patients for non-cardiovascular causes, the use of drugs with a known risk of torsades de pointes, as well as the detection of electrical LVH and atrial fibrillation in the initial electrocardiogram, is independently associated with a higher probability of suffering a IHCA.PMID:38637218 | DOI:10.1016/j.medcli.2024.01.014 (Source: Medicina Clinica)

Disability Degree Assessment: A Comprehensive Approach According to Royal Decree 888/2022
CONCLUSIONS: The pathology that causes the disability must have been previously diagnosed by the Healthcare System and considered permanent. Its evaluation is based on the evidence of objective clinical findings that are documented and supported by clinical reports. For this reason, it is important to maintain an accurate medical history, document reviews, and provide all relevant evidence.PMID:38632033 | DOI:10.1016/j.medcli.2024.02.009 (Source: Medicina Clinica)

Value of multi-modality small fiber assessments in a genotypically diverse cohort of transthyretin-related amyloidosis in the early stages of disease
CONCLUSIONS: In a diverse cohort of ATTRv patients, CCM was the most frequent abnormal measurement. CCM can be a useful test to triage patients in the early disease stages and with few or equivocal symptoms.PMID:38616431 | DOI:10.1016/j.medcli.2024.02.012 (Source: Medicina Clinica)
