The development of metabolic diseases is linked to the gut microbiota. A cross-sectional study involving 45 children (6 12 years old) was conducted investigate relationship between microbiota and childhood obesity. Anthropometric measurements, food-frequency questionnaires (FFQs), feces samples were obtained. Using body mass index (BMI) z-score, we categorized each participant as normal weight (NW), or overweight obese (OWOB). We determined 2 dietary profiles: one with complex carbohydrates...
Serosurveillance helps establish reopening guidelines and determine the immunity levels in different populations to reach herd immunity. Then, there is an urgent need estimate seroprevalence population wide. In Mexico, information about COVID-19 cases related deaths scarce. Also, no official serosurveillance, limiting our knowledge of impact SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Here, we report prevalence anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies 522,690 unvaccinated people from July 5th December 31st, 2020. The overall...
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a sexually transmitted agent and detected worldwide. HSV-2 the main cause of genital ulcers diagnosed mainly with serological tests. The objective current study was to evaluate use DBS samples detect antibodies using commercial ELISA Western blot tests.IgG-G2 (Human® Diagnostics, Germany) IgG/IgM (EUROLINE-WB, Euroimmun® tests were modified samples. Samples processed by both methods determine cutoff points ROC curves. performed 100μl 200μl eluted DBS. A...
Current evidence shows higher production of cytokines and antibodies against severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in critical cases Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) comparison with patients moderate or mild disease. A recent hypothesis proposes an important role genotoxicity cytotoxicity the induction cytokine storm observed some at later stages Interestingly, this study, we report significantly levels interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, MCP-1, IL-4 COVID-19 versus cases, as well a...
HPV is the sexually transmitted agent most common among young people, like college students. The aim of study was to associate sexual behavior characteristics women with HPV, detected in genital samples taken before introduction vaccine. Female students during 2001–2005 donated and were re-analyzed 2013 for genotyping by RT-PCR. frozen storage students' allowed detection DNA its after years sample collection. prevalence 22%, HPV16 3.9%, HPV18 1.1%.
