Abstract The health impacts of intimate partner violence against women and childhood sexual abuse are not fully understood. Here we conducted a systematic review by comprehensively searching seven electronic databases for literature on violence-associated abuse-associated effects. Following the burden proof methodology, evaluated evidence strength linking and/or to outcomes supported at least three studies.

Often, nonpharmaceutical are managed implemented at subnational level, yet little information exists on within-country variation intervention policies. We focused Latin America, a epicenter, and collected analyzed daily data public health measures Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru compare...

Despite being a public health problem, less than third of hypertensive patients manage to control blood pressure (BP). In this paper, we conducted two-arm randomized controlled trial investigate the efficacy an SMS-based home BP telemonitoring system compared usual care in with uncontrolled hypertension from primary center. This study was between April and August 2018. Participants intervention arm used custom-designed device for two weeks were followed up additional weeks; controls 4 weeks....
We hypothesized left atrial (LA) stiffness may serve as a surrogate marker in children to differentiate elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) from normal and help detect diastolic dysfunction myocardial injury due multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C).We validated LA 76 patients (median age 10.5 years), 33 had PCWP (<12 mmHg) 43 (≥12 mmHg). was applied 42 MIS-C [28 with (+) 14 without (-)], defined by serum biomarkers. The validation group consisted of cardiomyopathies,...
Abstract Background The Ontario Marginalization Index (ON-MARG) is widely used to assess health inequalities in by measuring four dimensions of marginalization at the dissemination area (DA) level. However, averaging these into an overall deprivation score can obscure important information, particular information on intersectionality material and social race immigrant status. Objective To use machine learning algorithms uncover relationships among ON-MARG across DAs as demographic clusters...
