Atención inicial a los familiares ante un caso de muerte súbita o por accidente
(2025) Clemente Suárez, Vicente Javier
La comunicación efectiva y empática es clave tras una muerte súbita o por accidente, incluyendo claridad, honestidad, y apoyo continuo.
Es esencial reconocer y validar las diversas manifestaciones del duelo, ofreciendo apoyo personalizado y promoviendo estrategias de afrontamiento saludables.
Los profesionales de atención primaria deben orientar a los familiares sobre procedimientos post mortem, trámites legales, y accesibilidad a recursos de apoyo.
La preparación y formación en comunicación de malas noticias y manejo del duelo son cruciales para mejorar la atención brindada.
Se propone un algoritmo de actuación para guiar a los profesionales en el manejo comprensivo y respetuoso de estas situaciones.
Human Digestive Physiology and Evolutionary Diet: A Metabolomic Perspective on Carnivorous and Scavenger Adaptations
(2025) Clemente Suárez, Vicente Javier; Redondo Flórez, Laura; Beltrán Velasco, Ana Isabel; Yáñez Sepúlveda, Rodrigo; Rubio Zarapuz, Alejandro; Martín Rodríguez, Alexandra; Navarro Jiménez, Eduardo; Tornero Aguilera, José Francisco
This review examines human digestive physiology and metabolic adaptations in the context of evolutionary dietary patterns, particularly those emphasizing carnivorous and scavenging behaviors. By integrating metabolomic data with archaeological, anatomical, and microbiological evidence, the study explores how early hominins adapted to intermittent but energy-dense animal-based diets. The analysis highlights the development of hepatic insulin resistance, enhanced fat and protein metabolism, and shifts in gut microbiota diversity as physiological signatures of meat consumption. Comparative evaluations of digestive enzyme profiles, intestinal morphology, and salivary composition underscore humans’ omnivorous flexibility and partial carnivorous specialization. Additionally, biomarkers such as ketone bodies, branched-chain amino acids, and trimethylamine-N-oxide are identified as metabolic indicators of habitual meat intake. These adaptations, though once evolutionarily advantageous, are discussed in relation to current metabolic disorders in modern nutritional contexts. Overall, this review presents a metabolomic framework for understanding the evolutionary trajectory of human digestion and its implications for health and dietary recommendations.
