- El anuncio y la transmisión del Evangelio en Evangelii gaudium(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2014) Izquierdo, M. (Mikel)El autor ofrece un comentario y una reflexión sobre el capítulo III de la Exhortación Apostólica Evangelii gaudium, que pone en relación con el capítulo III de la encíclica Lumen fidei. Analiza críticamente la mutua implicación entre anuncio del Evangelio y transmisión de la fe. La Iglesia como sujeto único de memoria es el ámbito en que se encuentran anuncio y transmisión. La misma Iglesia realiza su misión a través del discipulado misionero. Los medios para llevar a cabo esa misión son la catequesis, la piedad popular y el acompañamiento personal.
- Biomarkers of delirium risk in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis(2023) Martínez-Velilla, N. (Nicolás); García-Hermoso, A. (Antonio); Romero-Ortuno, R. (Román); Sáez-de-Asteasu, M.L. (Mikel L.); Lozano-Vicario, L. (Lucía); Muñoz-Vázquez, Á.J. (Ángel Javier); Fernandez-Irigoyen, J. (Joaquín); Cedeño-Veloz, B.A. (Bernardo Abel); Zambom-Ferraresi, F. (Fabricio); Izquierdo, M. (Mikel); Santamaria, E. (Enrique)Delirium is a neuropsychiatric syndrome associated with increased morbidity and mortality in older patients. The aim of this study was to review predictive biomarkers of delirium in older patients to gain insights into the pathophysiology of this syndrome and provide guidance for future studies. Two authors independently and systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus databases up to August 2021. A total of 32 studies were included. Only 6 studies were eligible for the meta-analysis, pooled results showed a significant increase in some serum biomarkers (C-reactive protein [CRP], tumour necrosis factor alpha [TNF-alpha] and interleukin-6 [IL-6]) among patients with delirium (odds ratio = 1.88, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.637; I2 = 76.75%). Although current evidence does not favour the use of any particular biomarker, serum CRP, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 were the most consistent biomarkers of delirium in older patients.

- Effect of resistance training and hypocaloric diets with different protein content on body composition and lipid profile in hypercholesterolemic obese women(Sociedad Española de Nutrición Parenteral y Enteral, 2012) Martinez, J.A. (José Alfredo); Grijalba, A.M. (A. M.); García-Unciti, M.S. (María Soledad); Izquierdo, M. (Mikel); Santos, J. (Javier); Gorostiaga, E. (Esteban)Lifestyle changes such as following a hypocaloric diet and regular physical exercise are recognized as effective non-pharmacological interventions to reduce body fat mass and prevent cardiovascular disease risk factors. Purpose: To evaluate the interactions of a higher protein (HP) vs. a lower protein (LP) diet with or without a concomitant progressive resistance training program (RT) on body composition and lipoprotein profile in hypercholesterolemic obese women. Methods: Retrospective study derived from a 16-week randomized controlled-intervention clinical trial. Twentyfive sedentary, obese (BMI: 30-40 kg/m²) women, aged 40-60 with hypercholesterolemia were assigned to a 4-arm trial using a 2 x 2 factorial design (Diet x Exercise). Prescribed diets had the same calorie restriction (-500 kcal/day), and were categorized according to protein content as: lower protein (< 22% daily energy intake, LP) vs. higher protein (> 22% daily energy intake, HP). Exercise comparisons involved habitual activity (control) vs. a 16-week supervised whole-body resistance training program (RT), two sessions/wk. Results: A significant decrease in weight and waist circumference was observed in all groups. A significant decrease in LDL-C and Total-Cholesterol levels was observed only when a LP diet was combined with a RT program, the RT being the most determining factor. Interestingly, an interaction between diet and exercise was found concerning LDL-C values. Conclusion: In this study, resistance training plays a key role in improving LDL-C and Total-Cholesterol; however, a lower protein intake (< 22% of daily energy intake as proteins) was found to achieve a significantly greater reduction in LDL-C.
