Abstract The epidemiological association between exposure to particulate matter (PM 10 ) and various respiratory cardiovascular problems is well known, but the mechanisms driving these effects remain unclear. Neutrophils play an essential role in immune defense against foreign agents also participate development of inflammatory responses. However, cells PM induced response not yet fully established. Thus, this study aims evaluate effect on neutrophil-mediated response. For this, neutrophils...
In recent years, the potential use of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) among different biomedical fields has grown. A deep understanding physicochemical properties (NPs) and their regulation specific biological responses is crucial for successful application NPs. Exposure to NP (size, shape, porosity, etc.) could result in deleterious effects on cellular functions, including a pro-inflammatory response mediated via activation NLRP3 inflammasome. The aim this study was evaluate vitro...
Background and Objectives: SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) interest (VOI) pose a significant threat to pub- lic health because the rapid change in genome can alter viral phenotypes such as virulence, transmissi- bility ability evade host response. Hence, quantification techniques are essential for timely diagnosis follow-up. Besides, they vital understanding pathogenesis, antiviral evaluation, vaccine de- velopment. Materials Methods: Five isolates SARS-CoV-2: D614G strain (B.1), three...
Abstract Water resources in the Urabá region of Colombia, one most significant banana-producing areas for global consumption, are confronted with substantial challenges due to agro-industrial activities, population growth, untreated wastewater discharge, and excessive groundwater usage. This study aims comprehensively evaluate physicochemical microbiological characteristics surface waters Urabá, delving into influence activities human interventions on water quality. The evaluation includes a...
El asbesto es un grupo de minerales no metálicos fibrosos, compuestos silicatos doble cadena que poseen gran resistencia a la tensión, degradación química y disminuida termoconductividad. A pesar evidencia tanto experimental como poblacional los del son agentes cancerígenos su reconocimiento tales por OMS, aún se sigue haciendo uso éstos costa salud trabajadores, lo ha convertido en problema mundial observado el desarrollo enfermedades asociadas estos individuos expuestos número países, las...
Immunoglobulins are heterodimeric proteins composed of 2 heavy chains and light chains. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a plasma derivative contains more than 95% IgG. The composition IgG subclasses similar to that normal human plasma. Immunoglobulin therapy was first introduced 50 years ago, its use has been described in numerous diseases. In Colombia, the importance this immunomodulatory resource prompted need for clinical practice guidelines be available use. For reason, multidisciplinary...
Nanoparticles (NP) are structures with a size on the nanometer scale (1 x 10-9 m). Due to their characteristics, potential use in fields of biotechnology and biomedicine has grown recent years wide range applications, such as diagnosis, therapy regenerative medicine. The immune system is responsible for defending body against pathogenic organisms other foreign agents, NP, which can be recognized by system, interact it modulate its function inducing immunostimulatory or immunosuppressive...
Particulate Matter (PM) is an air pollutant that classified according to its aerodynamic diameter into particles with a of less than 10 µm (PM10), 2.5 (PM2.5), and ultra-fine 0.1 (PM0.1). PM10 housed in the respiratory system, while PM2.5 can pass circulation generate systemic alterations. Although several diseases associated PM exposure, such as respiratory, cardiovascular, central nervous have been documented cause 4.2 million premature deaths per year worldwide. Few reviews address...
Background: Air pollution has emerged as a global public health concern. Specifically, in Medellín, Colombia, episodes of elevated air have been documented. Medical students’ knowledge is paramount for implementing future interventions directed toward patients. The aim this research was to delineate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding among medical students at private university Medellín. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 352 conducted. questionnaire administered,...

Banana production is an agricultural activity that requires intensive use of water. Its increasing demand brings about not only risks water scarcity in banana-producing farms but also management challenges for the farm workers. Thus, understanding association practices with banana workers' knowledge, attitude, and crucial. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a scale assess relationship among attitudes, – KAP workers regarding associated factors. A cross-sectional descriptive was conducted...
