(MDPI, 2025) Salgado Valverde, Iris; Pache Durán, María; Muñoz Muñoz, Elena; Díaz Caro, Carlos; Universidad de Extremadura. Departamento de Economía Financiera y Contabilidad; Universidad de Extremadura. Departamento de Dirección de Empresas y Sociología
This study conducts a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of scientific publications examining the relationship between consumer behaviour toward sustainably produced beer and the consumption and production context of their countries. Based on a sample of 112 articles (1991–2025) indexed in the Web of Science database, the main research lines, influential authors, applied methodologies, and emerging trends are identified. The analysis shows a growing interest in understanding how sustainable beer attributes influence consumer purchasing decisions, alongside notable thematic and methodological dispersion. Using tools such as VOSviewer 1.16.19 and SciMAT 1.1.06, the study maps the driving themes in the field, highlighting the centrality of concepts such as preferences and consumer behaviour. The results reveal both recent advances and existing gaps in the literature, especially with regard to beer in comparison to other beverages. This work contributes to the existing body of research and proposes future directions to enhance sustainability in the brewing sector from a consumer perspective, adding value to the beer industry and paving the way for more sustainable consumption.

Introducción: la fibromialgia (FM) es una afección reumática crónica que está relacionada con altos niveles de colesterol, altos valores de presión diastólica, una mayor relación cintura-cadera y un mayor índice de masa corporal.
Objetivos: el objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar los efectos de “Ganoderma lucidum” (GL) y “Ceratonia siliqua” (CS) sobre los parámetros sanguíneos y antropométricos de mujeres con fibromialgia.
Métodos: se realizó un ensayo piloto aleatorizado con doble ciego. Un grupo tomó 6 g/día de carpóforos micromolidos de GL durante 6 semanas, mientras que el segundo grupo tomó la misma dosis de harina de CS. Se evaluaron los niveles de glucosa, colesterol y triglicéridos, el peso, la masa grasa, la masa muscular, la relación cintura-cadera y la presión arterial.
Resultados: los resultados no han evidenciado ninguna diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre el GL y la CS en ninguna de las medidas analizadas, aunque hubo tendencia de la CS a reducir los niveles de glucosa y aumentar la relación cintura-cadera.
Conclusiones: los resultados obtenidos indican que la suplementación de la dieta con GL y CS no tiene efectos positivos sobre los parámetros sanguíneos y antropométricos analizados en las mujeres con fibromialgia. Debido a las limitaciones del estudio, será necesario confirmar estos datos con ulteriores investigaciones.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Malnutrition is common in patients with heart failure (HF) and is associated with poor prognosis. We evaluated the prognostic and clinical impact of a nutritional intervention in malnourished patients with chronic HF.
Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was carried out in patients with chronic HF who were malnourished or at risk. Participants were randomized to receive an individualized nutritional intervention or conventional management. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality or time-to-first HF hospitalizations at the 12-month follow-up. The secondary endpoints were changes in nutritional status and functional capacity.
Results: We screened 225 patients, 86 of whom had some degree of malnutrition and were randomized. At 12 months, the primary outcome occurred in 10 patients (23.8%) in the intervention group and in 22 patients (50.0%) in the control group (HR=0.39; 95% CI, 0.19-0.83). This effect was mainly related to a lower risk of hospitalization for HF in the intervention group: 8 patients (19.0%) versus 18 patients (40.9%) in the control group (HR=0.39; 95% CI=0.17-0.89). We observed an improvement in nutritional status and functional capacity in the intervention group versus the control group.
Conclusions: In patients with chronic HF and some degree of malnutrition, individualized nutritional intervention may reduce the risk of all-cause mortality or HF hospitalisations and improve nutritional status and functional capacity. These results underline the need for further randomized controlled trials with this approach to confirm the potential prognostic benefit.
Context, Process, and Participant Response in the Implementation of Family Support Programmes in Spain

Implementation research addresses how well a programme is conducted when applied in real-world conditions. However, research based on quality standards is still scarce as it requires monitoring context, process, and participant response. This study applies implementation quality standards to 57 Spanish parenting and family support programmes identified in the COST European Family Support Network project, using an ten-component evaluation sheet sheet. Descriptive analyses showed a good implementation level. The latent profile analysis identified four patterns defined by programme setting: profile 1, Social Services/NGO setting (21.1%), profile 2, Health setting (31.6%), profile 3, Multi-setting (14%), and profile 4, Educational setting (33.3%), differing in professional discipline, training, participant response, and professional perception of implementation. Profile memberships were related to programme outcomes, scaling up, and sustainability. Findings illustrate conceptual and practical challenges that researchers and professionals usually encounter during implementation, and the efforts required to deliver programmes effectively in real-world settings in Spain.

The mammalian ejaculate is very well suited to proteomics studies. As such, research concerning sperm proteomics is offering a huge amount of new information on the biology of spermatozoa. Among domestic animals, horses represent a species of special interest, in which reproductive technologies and a sizeable market of genetic material have grown exponentially in the last decade. Studies using proteomic approaches have been conducted in recent years, showing that proteomics is a potent tool to dig into the biology of the stallion spermatozoa. The aim of this review is to present an overview of the research conducted, and how these studies have improved our knowledge of stallion sperm biology. The main outcomes of the research conducted so far have been an improved knowledge of metabolism, and its importance in sperm functions, the impact of different technologies on the sperm proteome, and the identification of potential biomarkers. Moreover, proteomics of seminal plasma and phosphoproteomics are identified as areas of major interest.
