Objective
This study aims to evaluate the clinical impacts of topical and/or oral administration of compounds rich in omega-3 fatty acids from various sources, such as oils and foods, on psoriatic lesions.
Design
A systematic review was carried out. Data sources: Searches were conducted in six databases (PubMed, Cochrane, VHL, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science) using descriptors related to fatty acids and psoriasis.
Study selection
Inclusion criteria were studies published in the last 10 years (2013–2023) that involved patients with psoriasis and provided quantitative clinical outcome data, such as psoriasis severity scale.
Data extraction
Two independent reviewers carried out the initial screening of the titles and abstracts identified in the search. The quality of studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, the Risk of Bias in Randomized Studies of Interventions, and the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist.
Results
Out of 8570 articles identified, 9 met the inclusion criteria. The quality of randomized clinical trials and observational studies varied from low to high risk of bias, according to the respective parameters of each checklist.
Conclusions
Most studies demonstrated that the topical and/or oral administration of omega-3 fatty acids from different sources significantly improved clinical parameters, as measured by severity scales and the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI).

Psychotic symptoms and other neuropsychiatric manifestations in dementia are distressing conditions that deeply affect patients, carers, and staff. Low awareness and doubts about the competence of primary care services to intervene contribute to underdiagnosis and suboptimal management.
We critically discuss what may and may not be done in primary care, building on the case of a 79-year-old man with dementia who developed Capgras delusion (a typical misidentification syndrome), believing his wife was replaced by impostors. We highlight diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, discussing practical advice potentially applicable in many other neuropsychiatric conditions.
Referrals to specialists are needed but continuity of care and a family-sensitive practice remain crucial (this patient's symptoms and his wife's distress seemed to enhance each other in circular manners). Primary care is pivotal in relation-centred dementia management, to help address the biopsychosocial needs of patient and carers.
A multidisciplinary, task-sharing approach may improve dementia care, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Objective
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is the leading cause of sudden death. Basic Life Support (BLS) training is an essential competency in Nursing. Active learning methodologies such as blended learning may improve educational outcomes.
Design
A randomized controlled trial with four parallel groups (n = 160). Participants: was conducted among first-year undergraduate nursing students. Site: At a university in the Region of Murcia, Spain. Interventions: Four methodologies were compared: traditional training, virtual reality (VR), blended learning, and a control group with no intervention. Practical competence was assessed using an 8-item checklist covering key steps in the chain of survival. Technical parameters were measured using Laerdal QCPR® manikins, including percentage of high-quality CPR, compression depth, rate, and full chest recoil. ANOVA, chi-square tests, and correlation models were applied (p < 0.05).
Results
Practical competence differed significantly between groups (p < 0.001). Main measurements: The blended and traditional groups achieved the highest scores (6.6 ± 1.7 and 6.6 ± 1.5, respectively), followed by the VR group (6.3 ± 1.5) and the control group (3.1 ± 1.5). Mean CPR quality also differed significantly (p = 0.0045), with the blended group showing the highest percentage (72.3%), followed by traditional (65.4%), VR (63.4%), and control (46.9%). Regarding compression depth (p = 0.0011), the blended and VR groups achieved similar results (6.1 cm), outperforming the traditional (5.5 cm) and control (4.8 cm) groups. Perceived usability of the VR system was high (78/100).
Conclusions
Blended learning showed overall better performance in most variables analyzed, with higher CPR quality and equal or superior results in practical competence and compression depth compared to the traditional and immersive models. These findings support its effectiveness as a teaching strategy for acquiring BLS competencies.

To assess the evidence on communication interventions designed to support women experiencing socioeconomic vulnerability in the context of perinatal care.
Design
Systematic review based on narrative synthesis.
Data sources
Web of Science Core Collection, MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (Ebsco), and The Cochrane Library.
Study selection
Following PRISMA guidelines, peer-reviewed qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method studies published between 2013 and 2023 in English, Spanish, Dutch, French, or Turkish were included. Research from all care settings was eligible, except for studies conducted in low-income countries according to the Human Development Index.
Data extraction
Data extraction was performed at least two team members. Studies were analyzed through narrative synthesis. Methodological quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Tools developed by the Centre for Evidence-Based Management (CEBMa).
Results
Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria. Interventions included telehealth, home visits, peer-led initiatives, and tailored approaches such as Brief Interpersonal Psychotherapy and Motivational Interviewing. These interventions showed positive effects on breastfeeding, psychosocial well-being, maternal and neonatal health, and satisfaction with care, although outcomes varied in significance. Study quality ranged from moderate to high.
Conclusions
Although the evidence is limited, the findings suggest that communication interventions may improve perinatal care for women facing socioeconomic vulnerability. Further robust research is recommended.
Systematic review registration
The protocol for this review was registered in PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42023406466).

Objective
To analyze the association between physical activity, nutritional status, and the risk of sarcopenia in older adults.
Design
Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted between March and December 2024.
Setting
The study included two populations of older adults: one group residing in a rural area of La Libertad municipality, La Libertad department, and another group living in an urban area of Soyapango municipality, San Salvador department, both located in El Salvador.
Participants
A total of 62 older adults aged from 60 to 93 years old without disabling conditions participated in the study. There were no withdrawals; however, one participant died due to a fall during the study period.
Interventions
General health and demographic data were collected using a structured clinical assessment form, including personal medical history, anthropometric measurements, dietary intake frequency, and routine physical activity.
Measurements
Gait speed, handgrip strength, and chair stand test were assessed. Additionally, the SARC-F questionnaire was applied. Descriptive statistical analysis and variable cross-tabulations were performed using IBM SPSS software.
Results
Findings indicate that 43.5% of participants were classified as having probable sarcopenia. Among them, 56% were from the urban group and 44% from the rural group. In both settings, female participants predominated.
Conclusions
An association was observed between probable sarcopenia, physical inactivity, and malnutrition. These conditions can be identified through low-cost functional tests in primary care settings, contributing to the promotion of healthy aging.
