Little research has been done to evaluate the occupational health of electronic waste (e-waste) recycling workers in Latin America. The objective this study was complete comprehensive evaluations on e-waste Chile and compare those that work informal (i.e., independent) formal established company) settings. A cross-sectional summer 2017 recruited 78 from two cities 15 a single facility assess exposures outcomes. Participants completed questionnaire underwent full assessment. Herein, only data...

Abstract Background Central nervous system (CNS) infection has been an ongoing concern in paediatrics. The FilmArray® Meningoencephalitis (FAME) panel greater sensitivity identifying the aetiology of CNS infections. This study’s objective was to compare aetiological identification and hospitalization costs among patients with suspected before after use FAME. Methods An analytical observational study carried out using a retrospective cohort for pre-intervention (pre-FAME use) period...
In a world that is increasingly technological and interconnected, but also more violent, overexploited polluted, Paediatric Environmental Health (PEH) one of the best contributions to improve global health. Few areas planet have high affinity with common values interests, such as European Union (EU), Latin America Caribbean (LAC). The investments actions PEH in pre- postnatal periods during first two decades life will generate countless benefits health well-being human span. Detecting,...
The informal recycling of electronic waste ("e-waste") is a lucrative business for workers in low- and middle-income countries across the globe. Workers dismantle e-waste to recover valuable materials that can be sold income. However, expose themselves surrounding environment hazardous agents during process, including toxic metals like lead (Pb). To assess which tools, tasks, job characteristics result higher concentrations urine blood levels among workers, ten random samples 2 min video...

Abstract: Automatic geocoding methods have become popular in recent years, facilitating the study of association between health outcomes and place living. However, rather few studies evaluated quality, with most them being performed US Europe. This article aims to compare quality three automatic online tools against a reference method. A subsample 300 handwritten addresses from hospital records was geocoded using Bing, Google Earth, Maps. Match rates were higher (> 80%) for Maps Earth...
Aims & Objectives: Sepsis is a clinical syndrome characterized by fatal organ dysfunction. In adults, 6 echocardiographic phenotypes are identified that determine management and prognosis. We seek to extrapolate this classification the pediatric population. To describe of sepsis, estimating association with multiple dysfunction (Pediatric SOFA scale, P-Sofa), ICU mechanical ventilation (MV) free day Methods: Prospective observational study in 2 Pediatric Critical Patient Units Chile 2022 -...
Changes in bone mineral density (BMD) are common adults infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). There few studies evaluating involvement children infected.To evaluate BMD vertically HIV-infected children.We studied 53 (8-18 years) from five hospitals. Disease status, nutritional assessment, vitamin D (25-OHD) levels and immunological status were recorded. was measured by densitometry.
