Background/objective
The Euthanasia Regulation Law includes the right to conscientious objection (CO). However, there is hardly any information available on its exercise or the grounds for objection. The objective of this study was to identify knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding CO to the provision of medical aid in dying (MAID) in primary care, which is the level of care where most provisions occur.
Materials and methods
Cross-sectional knowledge, attitudes, and practices model study. A total of 434 active general practitioners working in health centres across Spain were surveyed through self-administered questionnaires on knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to CO. A descriptive analysis of the responses in each domain was performed, followed by multivariate analyses to determine the factors related to having objected or considering doing so.
Results
Of the general practitioners surveyed, 46.3% practised in Madrid; 75.2% were women, with an average age of 47; 84.8% had received training in bioethics; 54.9% reported knowing the law, only 29% correctly answered questions about CO in end-of-life practices; 35% had objected or considered objecting. Higher rates of objection were observed among those practising in Madrid (aOR = 2.98; 95% CI 1.16-5.34), those with religious beliefs (aOR = 5.23; 95% CI 2.78-9.80), and those opposed to MAID (aOR = 12.63; 95% CI 5.80-27.50).
Conclusions
The main reasons for objecting are moral and emotional, although other contextual factors also emerge. Given the high level of ignorance of the practices to which one can object, improvements in training and institutional involvement are needed for responsible practice and to guarantee the MAID.
背景/目的《安乐死管理法》规定了良心拒服兵役的权利。但是,几乎没有任何关于行使这种权利或反对理由的资料。本研究的目的是确定关于在初级保健中提供死亡医疗援助(MAID)的CO的知识、态度和做法,这是大多数提供医疗援助的护理水平。材料和方法横断面知识、态度和实践模型研究。通过自我填写的问卷,对在西班牙各地保健中心工作的434名在职全科医生进行了关于同性婚姻的知识、态度和做法的调查。对每个领域的回答进行了描述性分析,然后进行了多变量分析,以确定与反对或考虑这样做有关的因素。结果接受调查的全科医生中,46.3%在马德里执业;75.2%为女性,平均年龄47岁;接受过生命伦理学培训的占84.8%;54.9%的人表示知道法律,只有29%的人正确回答有关临终护理中一氧化碳的问题;35%的人反对或考虑反对。马德里执业者的反对率较高(aOR = 2.98;95% CI 1.16-5.34),有宗教信仰的人(aOR = 5.23;95% CI 2.78-9.80),反对MAID的患者(aOR = 12.63;95% ci 5.80-27.50)。反对的主要原因是道德和情感,尽管其他背景因素也会出现。鉴于对人们可以反对的做法的高度无知,需要改进培训和机构参与,以便负责任的做法和保证MAID。

Interstitial lung disease is a frequent and potentially fatal manifestation of systemic autoimmune diseases. Early screening, diagnosis, and treatment with immunomodulators, and in some cases, antifibrotics, as well as appropriate follow-up, are essential to improving patients’ quality of life and survival. The complexity of these diseases and the limited robust evidence to guide clinical decision-making lead to significant variability in management guidelines. In this article, a group of experts in systemic autoimmune diseases has developed recommendations for the screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of interstitial lung disease, considering the latest evidence, their clinical experience, and the results of a survey conducted among specialists. The diseases included are systemic sclerosis, Sjögren's disease, idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, ANCA-associated vasculitis, sarcoidosis and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Introduction and objectives
Incidentalomas of the thyroid gland are frequently observed in oncological patients undergoing FDG PET/CT imaging for staging or treatment response assessment. This study aims to investigate the utility of SUVmax and ADC values measured by PET/MRI in distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
Materials and methods
We selected 108 patients (72 females, 36 males; mean age 54 ± 12 years) who underwent routine oncological FDG PET/CT scans for staging or treatment response assessment, with nodule sizes greater than 1 cm. A one-bed neck PET/MRI scan followed the whole-body PET/CT. SUVmax values were measured, and ADC maps were created using DWI with b factors of 50 and 1000 s/mm2. SUVmax and ADC values were correlated with FNAC results.
Results
FNAC results revealed 76 (70.4%) benign and 32 (29.6%) malignant nodules among the 108 patients. The mean SUVmax of malignant nodules was significantly higher than that of benign nodules (10.6 ± 8.3 vs. 5.94 ± 5.2; P<.001). Similarly, the mean ADC value was lower in malignant nodules compared to benign ones (1.4 ± 0.6 × 10-3 mm2/s vs. 1.8 ± 0.4 × 10-3 mm2/s; P<.001). A significant but weak correlation was found between FNAC results and mean SUVmax (r = 0.335), as well as a significant weak negative correlation with mean ADC values (r = −0.355). Using a cut-off value of 6 for SUVmax and 1.56 × 10-3 mm2/s for ADC, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for SUVmax were 68.7, 73.6, and 72.1%, respectively, while for ADC, they were 71.8, 69.7, and 70.4%, respectively. The PET/MRI system demonstrated a relative sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV, and NPV of 90.62, 51.32, 62.96, 43.94, and 92.86%.
Conclusion
This study is one of the first in the literature to explore the use of FDG PET/MRI, a single-stop device, in distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid nodules with high sensitivity and NPV.

Background
Multimodal assessment of congestion and venous excess ultrasound protocol (VExUS) play a determinant role for volume assessment and decongestive therapy in patients with acute heart failure (AHF).
Methods
Prospective, unicentrical and observational study in patients admitted for AHF at the Internal Medicine ward, designed to explore the prevalence, predictors and clinical outcomes of congestion (VExUS score) and the prevalence of congestive nephropathy.
Results
A total of 100 patients were included (mean age 86 ± 8 years were and 51% females). According to VExUS protocol, 49% exhibited moderate to severe congestion (VExUS 2-3). These patients were more clinical congested, showed higher concentrations of CA125 and microalbumin/creatinine ratio, and need greater doses of loop diuretics during hospitalization. The prevalence of congestive nephropathy on admission was 38%. Patients with VExUS score on admission ≥ 2 had a 2.5-fold increased risk for all-cause mortality and/or HF hospitalization at 1 year (OR 2.52, 95% CI: 1.02-6.26, P = .046). In multivariable analysis elevated urea levels, larger inferior vena cava diameter and male gender, were identified as independent predictors on top of VExUS score for one-year mortality with an area under the curve for the final model of 0.740 (P < .001).
Conclusions
Moderate to severe congestion (VExUS grade 2-3) is associated with higher clinical congestion scores, greater need for diuretic treatment, and worse clinical outcomes, including increased mortality and rehospitalization rates in AHF. Furthermore, one-third of AHF showed congestion nephropathy a situation with clinical relevance that can influence decongestive treatments and final outcomes.

Background and objective
The radiological evolution after COVID-19 pneumonia is unknown. We propose to analyze the main radiological findings one year after COVID-19 pneumonia, as well as identify possible factors that may influence it.
Material and methods
Cohort study of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia undergoing high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) 12 months after hospital discharge. A descriptive study of the radiological findings and a multivariate analysis are carried out to identify the factors of the appearance of radiological anomalies.
Results
One hundred thirty-nine patients, with a mean age of 63 years and 66.2% male. The most frequent radiological findings were ground-glass opacities (59%), followed by bronchiectasis (42.4%), subpleural parenchymal bands (32.4%), atelectasis (13.7%), septal thickening (12.9%) and fibrotic tracts (9.4%). Male sex was associated with the presence of bronchiectasis (ORa = 3.55; P=.026), peak admission IL-6 levels > 133 ng/L with the detection of subpleural parenchymal bands (ORa = 3.58; p = 0.048) and obesity with the occurrence of atelectasis (ORa = 3.70; P=.014). Systemic corticotherapy during admission decreased the risk of fibrotic tracts (ORa = 0.02; P=.003).
Conclusions
Lung damage persists with high frequency one year after COVID-19 pneumonia. Male sex, high peak admission IL-6 levels and obesity were risk factors for radiological abnormalities while systemic corticosteroid therapy decreased the occurrence of fibrotic tracts 12 months after hospital admission.
