Case Reports
Adaptation of the Spanish version of the Frontal Assessment Battery for detection of executive dysfunction.
The Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) evaluates executive dysfunctions; however, there is no culturally adapted version of this instrument for the Spanish population. The aim of this study was the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the original version of the FAB into Spanish and to pilot test this version. ⋯ Our findings support that the FAB-E can be used to screen for executive dysfunctions in a Spanish-speaking population.

Observational Study
Effectiveness of glucocorticoids in patients hospitalized for severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.
Several studies have reported the beneficial effect of glucocorticoids in the treatment of cytokine storm that occurs in patients with severe COVID-19. Various glucocorticoids regimens have been proposed. ⋯ The results of this study show that patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia treated with glucocorticoids pulses with equivalent doses of prednisone greater than or equal to 250mg have a more favorable evolution (less mortality and less admission to ICU).
