Article Abstract
Unlabelled: The psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic still represent a focus of concern, especially in children and adolescents who are a group particularly vulnerable to the psychological consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, mainly due to the loss of socialization and leisure spaces. The aim of the study is to determine the variation in the levels of depressive and anxious symptomatology in children and adolescents in the North of Chile.
Methods: A Repeated cross-sectional design (RCS) was used. The sample consisted of a total of 475 students aged 12 to 18 years (high school) from educational establishments in the city of Arica. To evaluate the changes in the mental health of students associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the same mental health measures applied to students were compared in two waves (2018-2021).
Results: An increase in the symptomatology levels of depression, anxiety, social anxiety, and problems with the family, while a decrease in problems with school and peers was observed.
Conclusions: The results show that there is an increase in mental health problems associated with the periods of time in which the COVID-19 pandemic transformed the social relation spaces and classrooms of secondary school students. The observed changes point to future challenges, which include that it may be important to improve the coordination and integration of mental health professionals in educational centers and schools.

Background: Respiratory infections significantly impact older adults in Latin America, highlighting the need for regionally adapted consensus-based vaccination recommendations to guide preventive strategies. This study aimed to develop a consensus among Latin American experts on vaccination against respiratory diseases in older adults in the region, including influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia, COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and pertussis.
Methods: A two-round Delphi methodology was employed, involving 35 specialists from various medical fields.
Development and Validation of a Scaffold-Free Human Multilineage Spheroid Model for Early Stage Cholangiopathies Driven by Cholangiocyte Senescence.

GastroZentrum Hirslanden, Digestive Disease Center, Zürich, Switzerland.
Background And Aims: Cholangiopathies, including primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and post-COVID-19 cholangiopathy (PCC), involve chronic cholangiocyte injury, senescence, epithelial-stromal crosstalk, and progressive fibrosis. However, effective in vitro models to capture these interactions are limited. Here, we present a scaffold-free 3D multilineage spheroid model, composed of hepatocyte-like cells (HepG2), cholangiocytes (H69), and hepatic stellate cells (LX-2), designed to recapitulate early fibrogenic responses driven by senescent cholangiocytes.

Background: Disparities in posttransplant outcomes persist and worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, disproportionately affecting individuals with social risk factors. This study examined the total and residual (ie, direct) associations between individual- and neighborhood-level income and posttransplant outcomes among deceased donor kidney transplant (DDKT) and living donor kidney transplant recipients transplanted in the United States in 2020.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study linked Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network data with estimated individual annual income from LexisNexis and neighborhood median annual household income from the American Community Survey.
