Article Abstract
Aging paradigms should entail all individuals. More research on older LGBT+ adults is needed since the literature has been mainly built on heteronormative and cisgender standards. The creation and shaping of the kind of legacy an individual would like to leave behind when he/she dies is key in aging well. This study explores the intended legacies of older lesbian and gay adults (50+ years old) who were activists in social movements in Spain. Eighteen participants (12 gay men) participated in a semi-structured interview on their intended legacies. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the interviews. The main findings showed that all participants reported intended legacies: i) personal, to transmit their lived knowledge and to be remembered as good and committed persons; ii) broader, to contribute to LGBT+ rights, and to a better society; iii) composite, the desire that younger generations recognize their contributions, and to know they helped to protect new generations. The participants in this study lived a life of intense involvement in social movements, and currently their intended legacies involve leaving a mark and passing the torch to younger generations. This understanding will help us to develop adequate practices that promote well-being in older LGBT+ adults.

In an era of persistent and evolving cyberthreats that pose serious risks to patient safety, institutional integrity, and regulatory compliance, healthcare organizations, particularly radiology departments, must adopt a proactive stance toward cybersecurity. Radiology departments are particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks due to their dependence on often legacy and insecure digital imaging systems, as well as a reliance on network connectivity and specialized software. This Expert Panel Narrative Review offers a strategic roadmap for healthcare institutions to prepare for and survive cybersecurity attacks, with a focus on the unique vulnerabilities within medical imaging systems that radiology departments must address.

The recent Covid-19 pandemic has shown how even high-performing healthcare systems are often unprepared to cope with sudden and unforeseen surges in demand for healthcare services, drawing further attention on crucial factors ensuring their resilience in the face of extreme disruptive events. Despite extensive efforts to define health system resilience, a lack of consensus persists, making it difficult to operationalize the existing conceptual frameworks and to guide policy makers in developing adequate response strategies. Grounded on this, the present paper aims to systematically review how hospital resilience has been measured in high-income countries.
