Abstract Background Chile’s Food Labelling Law was implemented in three phases with increasingly stricter limits. After initial implementation, sugars and sodium decreased packaged foods, no significant changes for saturated fats. It is unclear whether full implementation linked further reformulation or if producers reversed due to consumers’ preferences. This study examines the proportion of “high in” products nutrient content foods during Law’s phases. Methods repeated cross-sectional...
Premature adrenarche (PremA), is associated with increased adiposity and in girls to earlier puberty adverse metabolic profiles. Recently LC-MS/MS studies demonstrated adrenal production of more potent androgens: 11-oxygenated C19 steroids. Defining the mechanisms that regulate steroids has been elusive. We recently showed genetic determinants DHEAS during differed from those adulthood. One highly significant variant was at prolactin receptor which strongly expressed human tissue. The aim...
G. L. Stebbins’ most effective pollinator principle states that when pollinators are not limiting, plants expected to specialize and adapt the abundant species available. In this study, we quantify effectiveness of bees, hummingbirds hawkmoths in a Chilean population Erythranthe lutea (Phrymaceae), examine whether flower traits subject pollinator-mediated selection by during two consecutive years. Unlike community, visitation rate recently arrived Bombus terrestris did change substantially...
Previous studies of maternal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation during pregnancy have controversial and contrasting results on the short long-term effects early child growth. The impact this nutritional intervention postnatal growth patterns in offspring women with pregestational overweight/obesity (PGO) also remains controversial.
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Menarche is the last stage of pubertal development, which coincides with completion longitudinal growth. As a consequence lack national and up-to-date data related to post-menarcheal (PM) growth, aim our work was evaluate PM growth in group contemporary healthy Chilean girls followed, prospectively, until 4 years PM. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This study nested within GOCS cohort, prospective fashion. The were followed...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Pubertal onset is triggered by multiple neuroendocrine interactions. The role of prepubertal IGF-1 in this process has not been explored both sexes. Our objective was to analyze the association concentration with age at thelarche (B2) and menarche (M) girls gonadarche (G2) boys. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This a longitudinal study (<i>n</i> = 1,196 boys girls) within Growth Obesity Chilean Cohort Study...
Introduction Food access is associated with dietary quality; however, people living in similar physical environments can have different food profiles. Domestic may also influence how relates to quality. We studied profiles of 999 low-middle income Chilean families children during the COVID-19 lockdown and these relate secondarily, we explore role domestic environment this relationship. Materials methods Participants two longitudinal studies conducted southeast Santiago, Chile, answered...
Background: In Chile, Thyroid cancer (TC) is included in a list of diseases that have guaranteed access to treatment, endorsed by the Ministry Health. The care burden disease will depend on its incidence. Aim: To estimate incidence TC Chilean patients with thyroid surgery and describe histopathological characteristics.
The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma the anal canal has been increasing over last 30 years. HIV found to be a risk factor for development this disease; radio-chemotherapy (RTCT) may also more toxic than in HIV-negative patients. study aims at assessing whether there are any differences terms toxicity between HIV-positive and patients treated with concomitant RTCT.Search MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL (via Cochrane Library-Wiley), DARE, LILACS bibliographic databases. Experimental analytical...
Prepubertal adiposity is associated with earlier puberty. It unclear when this association starts, if all markers are similarly associated, and whether pubertal milestones affected.To evaluate the between different during childhood timing of in Latino girls.Longitudinal follow-up 539 female participants Chilean Growth Obesity Cohort recruited from childcare centers (mean age 3.5 years) southeast area Santiago, Chile. Participants were singletons born 2002 2003 within normal birthweight...
Most cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) have a good prognosis, there is small group where metastasis and death occur the evaluation of this risk still cause for controversy. Tumour budding pattern histological invasion that an emerging factor in other solid tumours.To examine association between tumour known high-risk predictors cSCC. In addition, impact on overall survival (OS) disease-specific (DSS) was analysed.Retrospective study. It included patients with diagnosis non-genital...
Abstract Background The use of convalescent plasma (CP) to treat COVID-19 has shown promising results; however, its effectiveness remains uncertain. purpose this study was determine the safety and mortality CP among patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Study Design Methods This multicenter, open-label, uncontrolled clinical trial is currently being conducted at nine hospitals in Chile. Patients due who were still within 14 days since symptom onset classified into four groups: cancer severe...
Background: In recent years, substantial changes have occurred in the work organization and arrangements. One of main ones has been popularization teleworking among non-manual workers.

Methods: Cross-sectional study based on a representative sample Spanish salaried population. Results: Although nearly all PSR show crude associations with SP, when adjusted for every other PSR, only workers exposed lack role clarity (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR], 1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI],...
Lung cancer frequency has been progressively increasing; this linked to the use of inhaled tobacco and air pollution.In Chile, pollution reached alarming levels due motor vehicle traffic, firewood burning for heating minerals in urban areas; reason, our objective was evaluate association between incidence lung concentration main pollutants monitored country.We carried out a cross-sectional ecological study that evaluated average 5-year period (2015-2019) with annual six atmospheric 5 years...
There is evidence linking air pollutants associated with vehicular traffic such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons breast carcinogenesis.Epidemiological studies have shown conflicting results regarding pollution and cancer risk, which could be explained by the multitude of other risk factors that affect association.In Chile, has reached alarming levels, either due to motorised vehicle or combustion wood for heating; therefore, our objective was evaluate association between incidence...
Abstract Background Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a peer chain-recruitment method for populations without frame or that are hard-to-reach. Although RDS usually done face-to-face, the online version (WebRDS) has drawn lot of attention as it many potential benefits, despite this, to date there no clear framework its implementation. This article aims provide guidance researchers who want recruit through WebRDS. Methods Description development phase: provided addressing aspects related...
