Uso de aretes bucales y su relación con la salud bucal

En la actualidad resulta imposible saber cuándo emergió por vez primera el anillado corporal y el uso del piercing, la verdad al respecto, es que el uso del cuerpo como una expresión de arte es muy antigua. Sin embargo en los últimos años ha surgido de nuevo con el propósito de dar una identidad social a quienes lo portan, y esta forma de representación se le conoce como arte corpora

Impact of a rapid systemic guide on pediatric patients with suspicion of epilepsy

Increase the percentage of etiological diagnosis of epilepsy (according to the classification by the 2010 ILAE) using a systematic quick guide for pediatric patients with suspected epilepsy. Methods: Ambispective cohort study. Patients under 16 years old with suspected epilepsy were studied, and a systematic quick guide was applied to the prospective group, and later the two groups were compared. It was a convenience sample, with a study period of one year for both groups. Results: The prospective group was 120 patients and the retrospective group 71 patients. Comparing the epileptic diagnosis by etiology groups, in the prospective group (only outpatient patients), 3.3% had epilepsy of an unknown cause, 55% had epilepsy of a genetic cause, 36.7% had epilepsy of a structural/metabolic cause, and 5% had conditions that are not epilepsy itself. Meanwhile in the retrospective group, 52.1% had epilepsy of an unknown cause, 11.3% had epilepsy of a genetic cause, and 36.6% had epilepsy of a structural/metabolic cause (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Compared to other similar studies, the etiological percentages of epilepsy increased. Using the systematic quick guide proposed, the percentage of etiological definitions of epilepsy was increased in pediatric patients

Therapeutic Use Of Eucalyptus “Eucalyptus Globulus” As Traditional Medicine In An Otomi Indigenous Community

DIAGNÓSTICO DE LA CALIDAD SANITARIA DEL AGUA DE POZO EN COMUNIDADES DEL SUR DE SONORA, MÉXICO

Introducción: El problema más común del consumo de agua insalubre son las enfermedades gastrointestinales, el agua subterránea es una de las principales fuentes de abastecimiento y puede tener contaminación bacteriana y de sustancias químicas. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia y el grado de contaminación por bacterias hemofílicas aerobias (BMA), coliformes totales (CT), coliformes fecales (CF), Escherichia coli (E. coli) y Salmonella spp. como indicadores de calidad sanitaria de agua de pozo para uso y consumo humano en el sur de Sonora, México. Métodos: De junio de 2013 a mayo de 2014 en 10 comunidades asentadas en la cuenca del rio Yaqui se obtuvieron 106 muestras de agua y se analizaron en base a los procedimientos establecidos en las NOM. Resultados: El total de muestras presentaron contaminación microbiana y ausencia de cloro residual. El 21.7% tuvieron ≥200 UFC mL-1 para BMA y el 50.9% y 39.6% contaminación por CT y CF; el 8.5% de las muestras tuvieron presencia de E. coli; el patógeno Salmonella spp., estuvo ausente. Conclusiones: El estudio puede sentar las bases microbiológicas para que las autoridades estatales puedan definir las estrategias para la potabilización del agua en esta región del país.ABSTRACTIntroduction: The most common problem of unhealthy water consumption is gastrointestinal diseases, groundwater is a major source of supply and may have bacterial and chemical contamination.. Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence an pollution level caused by mesophilic aerobic bacteria (MAB), total coliform (TC), fecal coliform (FC), Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Salmonella spp., as indicators of sanitary quality in water well used by humans in the south región of Sonora,México. Methods: We analyzed 106 samples from 10 different communities in the Yaqui River source between June 2014 and May 2014. Results: All the samples had microbial contamination and absence of residual chlorine. In 21.7% of sample exhibit more than 200 UFC mL-1 of MAB, while 50.9% of TC and FC in 39.6%; in 8.5 % of samples E. coli was found, Salmonella spp., was absent in the samples. Conclusions: This study suggest the microbial basis to guide the goverment authorithies to develop in this region some water purification techniques.Palabras Clave: Calidad sanitaria de agua, agua de pozo, contaminación,Sanitary quality of water, well water, pollutio

Significación del Cutting en una adolescente Tabasqueña: Un estudio de caso

En este trabajo se muestran tanto los motivos implícitos como explícitos de una adolescente tabasqueña que practica cutting, la cual se contactó en un puesto de productos-varios localizado en la vía pública en donde realizaba cortes en sus muñecas. El paradigma de esta investigación es cualitativo de corte inductivo con el enfoque fenomenológico de Alfred Schutz, por lo que la técnica utilizada fue la entrevista a profundidad en el espacio natural. Entre los resultados se encuentran como primeros hallazgos la práctica del cutting asociada a estrategias para relacionarse interpersonalmente y para la reflexión en torno a la existencia e identidad propia

Effect of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes: a 5-year cohort follow-up managed by a dynamic multidisciplinary team in Northeastern Mexico

Abstract Background The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic brought a radical shift in the healthcare system and suboptimal care for vulnerable patients, such as those with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D). Therefore, we compared metabolic control and macro/microvascular complications of patients with T2D before and throughout the three-year SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Research design and methods A retrospective observational cohort of subjects with T2D studied from 2018 to 2022 in Northern Mexico was treated by a dynamic multidisciplinary team. Levels of Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting serum glucose (FG), LDL-Cholesterol (LDL-C), blood pressure (BP), albuminuria, triglycerides, Body Mass Index (BMI), and FIB-4 score, micro and macrovascular complications were evaluated. Results A total of 999 patients were studied, 51.7% males with a mean (SD) age of 60.1 (12.7) years. Adequate glycemic control based on HbA1c increased by 15.2% and 42.3% in FSG (p < 0.001) between the beginning 2018 and the end of 2022. LDL-C control decreased by 5.1% between 2018 and 2022 (p < 0.001). Systolic BP control decreased by 2.6% (p < 0.001), whereas diastolic BP control increased by 1.8% (p = 0.01) between 2018 and 2022. Albuminuria control increased by 8.5% (p = 0.002). When comparing the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of metabolic parameters between patients who developed SARS-CoV-2 vs. those who did not, AUC was statistically higher in those who developed SARS-CoV-2 (p < 0.05). Diabetic neuropathy was the most prevalent microvascular complication (n = 35; 3.6%); ischemic heart disease was the most frequent macrovascular complication (n = 11;1.1%). Conclusions A multidisciplinary dynamic team that adapts to the pandemic SARS-CoV-2 maintains and increases metabolic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes in Mexico. This represents a low percentage of chronic complications. The AUC of metabolic parameters of subjects with SARS-CoV-2 infection is higher, reflecting more variability in metabolic control.
