Emotional intelligence of nurses in intensive care units: A systematic review
Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognize, understand
and manage one’s emotions and those of others (Goleman, 2006, p.
128). Recently, this competence has gained particular importance in
nursing (Cichon ́ et al., 2023; Page et al., 2021; Zhang et al., 2024; Hong
& Lee, 2016) due to its positive impact on healthcare professionals,
patients and organizations. Studies demonstrate that EI helps mitigate
stress and prevent nurse burnout by improving communication and
fostering interprofessional relationships (Foji et al., 2020; Kochaksaraei
et al., 2020). These benefits extend beyond individual performance to
shape the broader practice environment, enhancing patient care safety
and quality (Raghubir, 2018). Moreover, EI development is associated
with heightened job satisfaction and increased retention rates among
healthcare professionals, highlighting its critical role in promoting
overall well-being and effectiveness across healthcare settings (Foji
et al., 2020; Kochaksaraei et al., 2020; Raghubir, 2018; Sacco et al.,
2015; Zhang et al., 2024)

An odd dancing couple. Non-small cell lung carcinoma with coexisting EGFR mutation and NTRK-1 translocation: A case report
In the 21st century, there has been a dramatic shift in the diagnosis and management of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), with an increasing use of minimally invasive tissue acquisition methods. Current treatments require morphologic subtyping and biomarker information in all cases. Determining such biomarkers is a continuously evolving field; current guidelines state that the determination of mutations on the Epidermal Growth Factor (EFGR), Kirsten Rat Sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS), Protooncogene B-Raf (BRAF), Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK), genes as well as fusions on genes such as ROS ProtoOncogene 1, Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (ROS1), MET proto oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase (MET), RET proto-oncogene (RET), and the Neurotrophic Tyrosine Receptor Kinase (NTRK) family is mandatory. While analyzing such alterations, some of them were first reported to be mutually exclusive, although in recent years, it has been shown otherwise in some of these cases. Moreover, so was the case with the concomitant expression of NTRK fusions and EGFR mutations. We present a case report of a patient with concomitant EGFR mutation and NTRK1 fusion
Mathematical model for optimal agri-food industry residual streams flow management: A valorization decision support tool.
We present a mathematical model for agri-food industry residual streams flow management,
which serves as a decision support tool for optimizing their valorization. The aim is to determine,
under a cost-benefit analysis approach, the best strategy at a global level. The proposed mathematical
model provides the optimal valorization scenario, namely the set of routes followed by agri-food
industry residual streams that maximizes the total profit obtained. The model takes into account the
complete stoichiometry of the residual stream at each step of the valorization route. Furthermore, the
model allows for the calculations of different scenarios to support decision-making. The proposed
approach is illustrated through a case study using a real-case network of a region. The case study
bears evidence that the use of the model can lead to significant profit increases compared to those
obtained with current practices. Moreover, notable profit improvements are obtained in the case
study if the selling price of all the value-added products considered increases or if the processing
cost of the animal feed producer decreases. Therefore, our model enables the detection of key factors
that influence the optimal strategy, making it a powerful decision-support tool for optimizing the
valorization of agri-food industry residual streams

Changes in faecal microbiota in 6- to 12-year-old children after a new nutritional strategy: the ALINFA randomised controlled trial
Gut microbiota seems to play a critical role in health and disease. This study aimed to evaluate the effect
of a nutritional intervention in children 6–12 years old on the microbiota and to identify possible dietary components involved in the change. A 2-month parallel, controlled randomised trial was conducted. The
nutritional intervention was based on the recommendations of the Mediterranean diet, for both intervention groups, with the difference that in the ALINFA group a more intensive intervention based on a complete diet, while in the control group, dietary advice was provided. After the intervention, ALINFA group showed an increase in the richness and diversity of their microbiota as well as changes in the abundance of different bacterial heels. These changes were mainly influences by fibre intake and the type of fat consumed. The ALINFA nutritional intervention seems to be able to positively influence children’s microbiota, showing significant changes within 2 months
