Abstract Background Focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH) is a rare oral HPV‐related disease, highly prevalent in certain ethnic communities. A previous study found 7.5% prevalence among school children from the Indian community Embera‐Chamí Colombia. Objective To determine and Human Papillomavirus (HPVs)‐type with FEH. Materials methods One hundred thirty‐eight students were screened. All FEH samples HPV‐tested by two PCR‐based systems. Results We identified 18 cases. β‐globin amplification...
This study evaluated Pap screening and human papillomavirus (HPV) knowledge in a population of Colombian women as possible contributing factor low cervical cancer success. is descriptive, cross-sectional analysis 454 who were approached five different hospitals clinics throughout Medellín, Colombia. Of them, 449 females agreed to participate answered standardized face-to-face questionnaire regarding HPV knowledge. Using logistic regression, predictors both examined. Overall, 76.3% the...
Sun exposure and skin phototype are the most relevant risk factors for cancer. Colombia has high levels of ultraviolet radiation during whole year, therefore, both, UVI's outdoor worker's daily activities, in our country very important development cutaneous To date no study evaluated usefulness Fitzpatrick's classification Colombians its correlation with minimal erythema dose (MED) constitutional color. Such information is gaining importance other nations due to fact that several country's...

Abstract Objectives Chronic pain is one of the most common reasons individuals seek medical attention. It a major issue because wide interindividual variability in analgesic response. This might be partly explained by presence variants genes encoding molecules involved pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. The aim was to analyze opioid effectiveness chronic low back ( CLBP ) relief after titration, unveiling impact pharmacogenetics. Methods study included 231 opioid‐naïve patients from...
In spite of implementation cytology-based cervical cancer screening in Colombia, mortality rates remain stable. The description factors associated to pre-neoplasic lesions is needed establish strategies for prevention.The prevalence epithelial squamous cell abnormalities was determined explore the association cytology with described risk factors.This population-based, cross-sectional study included 739 women randomly selected by age. A validated face-to-face questionnaire and conventional...
There is lack of age-specific seroprevalence surveys and identification factors associated with herpes simplex virus type-2 seropositivity (HSV-2) in rural populations Colombia. A random sample 869 women was interviewed about socio-demographic aspects, sexual reproductive history. Antibodies to HSV-2 were determined by a specific type immunoenzymatic technique (ELISA). Participants had mean age 38±16.1 years, 67% married, 60% monogamous 47% reported use condoms. 19.1% (95% CI: 16.6-21.9) it...
Abstract The taruka Hippocamelus antisensis , a species of deer categorized as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, was thought to be locally extinct in environs La Paz, Bolivia. However, local people from Mecapaca municipality reported seeing tarukas at their former community establishment, which had been abandoned several years previously. After confirming presence we conducted intensive surveys estimated minimum abundance, and then calibrated relative abundance indices (faecal track counts)...
