Trypanosomatids, including Trypanosoma and Leishmania species, present significant medical veterinary challenges causing substantial economic losses, health complications, even fatalities. Diagnosing genotyping these species their genotypes is often complex, involving multiple steps. This study aimed to develop an amplicon-based sequencing (ABS) method utilizing Oxford Nanopore long-read enhance Trypanosomatid detection genotyping. The 18S rDNA gene was targeted for its inter-species...
The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is 1.5-2 times higher than the general population. fundamental factor for CVD age, related to alterations at arterial level. aim study was compare vascular age (VA) RA under a strict treat-to-target (T2T) strategy Osteoarthritis (OA) without follow up and assess influence inflammaging (chronic, sterile, low-grade inflammation aging) metabolic markers on VA.This an analytical cross-sectional study. Patients...
Abstract Background Antibody (Ab) tests for SARS-CoV-2 virus allows the estimation of incidence, level exposure and duration immunity acquired by a previous infection. In health workers, hospital setting might convey greater risk Aims To describe frequency immunoglobulin G (IgG) Abs (IgG-Abs) to among workers at third-level university in Colombia. Methods this cross-sectional study, we included medical non-medical personnel with least one real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR)/antigen...
Resumen La afectacion cardiaca en pacientes con sarcoidosis esta siendo cada vez mas reconocida y se asocia mal pronostico. Aunque su patogenesis estan implicados los factores ambientales geneticos, la etiologia de no es clara. Las manifestaciones clinicas incluyen alteraciones conduccion auriculo-ventricular, arritmias e insuficiencia congestiva. Es una entidad extremadamente dificil diagnosticar debido a que las son inespecificas, sensibilidad especificidad modalidades diagnostico...
Introducción: el infarto pulmonar ocurre entre un 29 y 32% de pacientes con tromboembolismo (TEP). Por su parte, la infección complica aproximadamente del 2 al 7% los casos, lo que hace infectado sea una entidad poco frecuente.Descripción caso: mujer 49 años dolor pleurítico en hemitórax izquierdo, irradiado a región dorsal, asociado disnea edema doloroso miembro inferior izquierdo dos días evolución. Dos semanas antes ingreso paciente sufrió trauma rodilla izquierda, cual requirió...
Introducción: se define neumomediastino espontáneo (NE) a la presencia de aire en el intersticio mediastinal. Es una entidad rara, considerada benigna y autolimitada que afecta, mayoría los casos, adultos jóvenes. Su diagnóstico es clínico radiológico.Descripción del caso: hombre 21 años edad con tos expectoración verdosa cuatro días, síntomas asociados disnea, dolor torácico, fiebre enfisema subcutáneo supraclavicular bilateral. La radiografía tórax sugirió neumomediastino, cual fue...
<h3>Background</h3> Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of premature death among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Inflammatory cytokines play a pivotal role in this process, to impaired artery elasticity by priming endothelial dysfunction and enhanced arterial stiffness. <h3>Objectives</h3> To assess expression inflammatory associated cardiovascular alterations such as stiffness RA osteoarthritis (OA) through Gene Ontology Pathway Enrichment analysis. <h3>Methods</h3>...
En la carretera de Trinidad a Cienfuegos, provincia Las Villas (Cuba), se ha construido un puente isostático sobre el río Cañas, hormigón pretensado, tres tramos, cuya sección transversal es celular tabiques formando doble cajón. Los dos tramos laterales o accesos al central, 15,5 m luz cada uno, han en voladizo respecto los apoyos centrales. El tramo central salva vano 76 m.

 Gallstone ileus is a rare cause of mechanical bowel obstruction seen in patients with history cholelithiasis or cholecystitis. Its diagnosis difficult since it presents vague and nonspecific symptoms. This the case 69-year-old woman arterial hypertension type 2 diabetes mellitus, without surgical history, who admitted to emergency room due abdominal pain. Her based on contrast X-ray images, computed tomography (CT) upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Surgery remains being gold standard...
Background The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is higher than individuals the general population. fundamental factor for CVD age, related to alterations at arterial level, called vascular aging reflected by stiffness and endothelial dysfunction Objectives aim study was compare age (PWV-Pulse Wave Velocity) two groups RA osteoarthritis (OA) assess influence inflammaging (persistent low-grade inflammation that develops age) metabolic markers...
Background COVID-19, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthrosis (OA) are diseases characterized by the secretion of cytokines related to stimulation inflammatory response. Objectives To identify differences in cytokine matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) profile within one acute infectious disease two chronic rheumatic diseases. Methods Analytical cross-sectional study. RA patients under a strict follow-up program (T2T evaluated every months), OA without clinical follow-up, once or twice year,...
