Background The goal of the current study was to evaluate economic impact propofol as compared with midazolam for sedating patients in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods A randomized, unblinded, multicenter pharmacoeconomic trial captured health resource utilization and outcome measurements associated sedation treatment four ICUs across Canada. Statistical analysis performed investigate difference quality, ICU length stay, other resources used. authors costs (1997 Canadian dollars) two...
To describe the kinetics of circulating cytokines and chemokines in humans with ZIKAV infection.
Dengue and Zika infections cause illnesses with overlapping clinical manifestations. The aim of this study was to explore the association each these single or grouped laboratory parameters.
Background Our purpose was to provide a detailed clinical description, of symptoms and laboratory abnormalities, temporality in patients with confirmed Zika dengue infections, other acute illnesses unidentified origin (AIUO). Methods/ Principal findings This two-year, multicenter, observational, prospective, cohort study. We collected data from meeting the Pan American Health Organization’s modified case-definition criteria for probable infection. identified Zika, chikungunya by RT-PCR serum...
To determine the prevalence of antibodies against Treponema pallidum and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), to identify factors associated with these infections among migrants in transit Chiapas, Mexico.Cross-sectional study conducted during 2021-2022, three migrant shelters Mexico. Participants answered a questionnaire provided blood sample detect HSV-2. The calculated seroprevalence assessed using Chi-square (χ2) tests odds ratios.A total 462 participated, an average age 31.2 years;...
Zika has been associated with a variety of severe neurologic manifestations including meningitis and encephalitis. We hypothesized that it may also cause mild to subclinical neurocognitive alterations during acute infection or over the long term. In this observational cohort study, we explored whether alterations, estimate its frequency duration, compare other illnesses in people suspected infection, region Tapachula Chiapas, Mexico 2016–2018. enrolled patients who were at least 12 years old...
El estudio de factores asociados con la presentación del cáncer mama es gran interés para salud pública. Los que son potencialmente modificables, como los patrones dietéticos, relevantes por sus implicaciones en prevención enfermedad. Con el objetivo evaluar efecto una dieta rica polifenoles factor protector contra mama, se realizó un casos y controles 123 mujeres Chiapas, México. fueron diagnosticadas 2019 a 2021 estudios tamizaje resultados BI-RADS 1 o 2 mismo período.

Se realizo un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de diseno no experimental para determinar las caracteristicas clinicas la enfermedad Kawasaki, diagnosticada en Fundacion Clinica Infantil Club Noel entre enero 2010 y octubre 2012. revisaron historias los ninos diagnosticados con esta enfermedad. Los resultados evidencian una prevalencia 10/100.000 (7 casos 64.490 pacientes atendidos). El principal motivo consulta fue sospecha clinica Kawasaki. Seis procedian zona urbana, uno rural; 57.14%...
The introduction of Zika and chikungunya to dengue hyperendemic regions increased interest in better understanding characteristics these infections. We conducted a cohort study Mexico evaluate the natural history infection. describe here frequency Zika, virus infections immediately after Mexico, baseline participants for each type infection.Prospective, observational evaluating infection Mexico-Guatemala border area. Patients with fever, rash or both, meeting modified criteria PAHO probable...
Measles is a viral disease with an ample clinical spectrum that can range from fever, cough and rash, to death. It the most contagious human known. In last 50 years, mainly due vaccination, its mortality has decreased by more than 90%. However, in five years cases of have increased significantly, causing 144,000 deaths 2019. Mexico, arrival COVID-19 represents serious threat immunization programs because it converges time worst measles outbreak since 1994.El sarampión es una enfermedad de...
RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) is often considered the “gold standard” for diagnosis of Zika Virus (ZIKV) infection; however, it has been shown to have low sensitivity. A possible remedy study ZIKV-specific IgG (ZsIgG) and IgM (ZsIgM) antibodies. However, in vitro cross-reactivities Dengue virus (DENV) antibodies are well known, leading diagnostic difficulties an area with co-circulation two viruses. Our goal was use serologic assays build a classification model...
Abstract Background There is substantial variation in COVID-19 lethality across countries. In addition, countries with populations extreme economic inequalities, such as Mexico, there are regional and local differences risk factors for death. The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that death Mexican patients associated time between symptom onset hospitalization and/or healthcare site. Also, prognostic models were developed. Methods included two inpatient cohorts, one prospective...
