Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic has triggered the need to develop rapidly effective and safe vaccines prevent infection, particularly in those at-risk populations such as medical personnel. This study’s objective was assess perception of COVID-19 vaccination amongst Colombian physicians featuring two different scenarios vaccination. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study carried out through an online survey directed at staff several cities Colombia. percentage who have a...
Background Maternal serum concentrations of folate, homocysteine, and vitamin B12 have been associated with pre-eclampsia. Nevertheless, reported studies involve limited number cases to reliably assess the nature these associations. Our aim was examine relation three biomarkers pre-eclampsia risk in a large Colombian population. Materials methods Design: A case-control study. Setting: Cases healthy pregnant controls were recruited at time delivery from eight different cities between 2000...
Purpose Sedentary living and respiratory/cardiovascular diseases affect respiratory peripheral muscles. Muscle training can prevent, improve reverse these changes. Their research question suggests that precise nutraceutical administration enhance antioxidant capacity muscle function. This sudy aims to evaluate the impacto of an innovative on blood biomarkers such as essential aminoacids, antioxidants, lipid profile, REDOX status in healthy individuals, stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary...
Highlights The COVID-19 pandemic posed a challenge to healthcare institutions, especially ICU personnel, exposing them physical and mental health risks. Healthcare professionals, including nurses doctors, faced anxiety depression due increased workloads fear of infection. symptoms working in both general ICUs were identified as significant factors contributing among staff. Women roles show slightly higher susceptibility compared men. Introduction: led high prevalence personnel. Objective: To...
Introduction. During viral infections, the body produces binding antibodies (n-NAbs) and neutralizing (NAbs). NAbs prevent infection of host cells. Since COVID-19's onset in 2020, vaccine research has focused on eliciting high NAb levels. Objective. To evaluate IgA, IgM, IgG levels Colombian healthcare workers compare test results from DIA.PRO CPAS. Method. A cross-sectional study Bucaramanga, Colombia, collected samples June-July November 2021. Data was gathered via an online survey blood...

Objective: To determine whether family history of pre-eclampsia and cardiovascular disease is consistently associated with the occurrence sub-phenotypes fetal growth restriction (FGR).Material Methods: We conducted a case-control study in which cases healthy pregnant controls were recruited at time delivery from eight Colombian cities between 2000 2012. Odds among women positive or compared to without affected relatives (logistic regression modeling multinomial logistic model...
Abstract The objective of the present study was to evaluate efficacy oral administration vitamin D supplementation in reducing BMI and lipid profile adolescents young adults from a cohort Bucaramanga, Colombia. One hundred one were randomly assigned two doses [1000 international units (IU) or 200 IU] administered daily for 15 weeks. primary outcomes serum 25(OH)D levels, profile. secondary waist-hip ratio, skinfolds fasting blood glucose. We found mean ± sd plasma concentration...
Background Obesity is common among children and teenagers associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in the adult age. The objective of this paper was to evaluate association between percentage body fat adolescents city Bucaramanga, Colombia. Material Methods About 494 aged 10–20 years were studied. Laboratory tests made for analyzing cardiovascular anthropometric measurements. Percentage determined Slaughter equation. Lineal regression analyses conducted fat. Results Prevalence (>26%)...
The food transition can no longer be studied in developed countries because the so-called Western diet now predominates these areas. However, developing countries, it is still possible to study transition. It a novel concept that complements other transitions such as demographic, economic, nutritional and epidemiological transitions.The objectives of this were a) estimate average departmental adherence three pre-established patterns, b) assess patterns based on Global Spatial Analysis, c)...
Multiple small studies have suggested that women with pre-eclampsia present elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). However, little is known regarding the source this CRP IL-6 increase. Therefore, aim study was to evaluate relationship between considering different confounding factors. Using data from a large Colombian case-control (3,590 cases 4,564 normotensive controls), were measured in 914 1297 controls. The association maternal serum risk evaluated using...

COVID-19 infection may produce severe pneumonia, mainly in the adult population. Pregnant women with pneumonia are at high risk of developing complications, and conventional therapy sometimes fails to reverse hypoxemia. Therefore, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an option cases refractory hypoxemic respiratory failure. This study aims evaluate maternal-fetal factors, clinical characteristics, outcomes 11 pregnant or peripartum patients treated ECMO.
