This paper explores the transformative possibilities of deportigualízate, a critical intersectional feminist curriculum aimed at challenging inequities within a group of Spanish Physical Education-Sport Tertiary Education students. Part of a larger participatory action research project, this study employed qualitative methods (e.g., questionnaires, group interviews, and artefacts, among others) with data analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Underpinned by ”Doing Gender” theory, three themes were generated: (a) Transformative possibilities at the personal level: new embodied approaches, (b) Transformative possibilities at the relational level: empowering relations, (c) Transformative possibilities at the sociocultural level: small wins. These findings highlight the potential of deportigualízate to raise awareness of inequities and inspire change across personal, relational, and broader sociocultural domains. The study concludes that integrating critical intersectional feminist approaches like deportigualízate into education can foster spaces for reflection, connection, and empowerment. Such possibilities can offer meaningful steps toward broader transformations.

In October 2022, an outbreak in Europe of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) in intensively farmed minks occurred in northwest Spain. A single mink farm hosting more than 50,000 minks was involved. The identified viruses belong to clade 2.3.4.4b, which is responsible of the ongoing epizootic in Europe. An uncommon mutation (T271A) in the PB2 gene with potential public health implications was found. Our investigations indicate onward mink transmission of the virus may have occurred in the affected farm.

Peptidic agonists of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) have gained a prominent role in the therapy of type-2 diabetes and are being considered for reducing food intake in obesity. Potential advantages of small molecules acting as positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of GLP-1R, including oral administration and reduced unwanted effects, could improve the utility of this class of drugs. Here, we describe the discovery of compound 9 (4-{[1-({3-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl}methyl)piperidin-3-yl]methyl}morpholine, V-0219) that exhibits enhanced efficacy of GLP-1R stimulation, subnanomolar potency in the potentiation of insulin secretion, and no significant off-target activities. The identified GLP-1R PAM shows a remarkable in vivo activity, reducing food intake and improving glucose handling in normal and diabetic rodents. Enantioselective synthesis revealed oral efficacy for (S)-9 in animal models. Compound 9 behavior bolsters the interest of a small-molecule PAM of GLP-1R as a promising therapeutic approach for the increasingly prevalent obesity-associated diabetes.

IntroductionThe paper will describe the experience as consultation-liaison psychiatrist during the Covid 19 Pandemic in a private hospital in Madrid, what we have learned and its implications given the considerable and increasing interest in European Consultation-Liaison research.ObjectivesFollowing the request of one of the internal medicine department doctors the service was initially provided for patients admitted with the infection but very quickly included relatives and also the hospital staff.MethodsPatients were offered a telephone consultation that in most cases took place on a daily basis. Referrals where made by a doctor, some of them were locums due to the increasing demands of the service since patients from public hospitals were also admitted. Relatives were also referred by doctors and the frequency was more varied, depending on their needs. Members of the multidisciplinary team referred themselves..ResultsPatients and their families felt that the telephone consultation was useful to them. The work with some members of the staff is ongoing and will continue given the toxic levels of stress that they had to face and the changes taking place at the institution at the time.ConclusionsThe COVID-19 pandemic and the short and long term consequences that will follow will increase our understanding the breadth and depth of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry and the broad perspective required for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment of patients. My experience as psychoanalytic psychotherapist and organizational consultant proved most helpful.
