Breve historia de la Facultad de Odontología

La Facultad de Odontología se fundó el 27 de diciembre de 1963 e inició actividades el 3 de marzo de 1964. Años más tarde, el 19 de mayo de 1986, el H. Consejo Universitario aprobó su cambio de escuela a Facultad de Odontología. La conmemoración de 55 años de esta Facultad y 40 años de hermandad con las Universidades de Meikai y Asahi, se constituye un momento oportuno para manifestar el testimonio de cuanto han realizado hombres y mujeres que han dejado huella en esta institución

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

Methotrexate-induced epidermal necrosis in a child with osteosarcoma

Methotrexate is a folic acid antagonist used to treat psoria-sis, rheumatoid arthritis and neoplasms. It is renally excreted unchanged, at levels of about 90% within 24 hours. Several risk factors for intoxication have been described, including folate deficiency, liver cirrhosis, renal failure or the use of me-dications such as sulfonamides, salicylate and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Adverse cutaneous reactions such as photosensitivity, alopecia, urticaria, mucositis, erythe-ma, desquamation, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are well known. Methotrexate epidermal necrosis (MEN) should also be considered because of its severity, its similarity to TEN and the importance of rapidly administering appropriate treatment. Some cases of MEN have been reported in psoriasis patients, in whom the occurrence with an underlying skin disease has been found to be more common

Identification and Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of the FTO Gene with Indicators of Overweight and Obesity in a Young Mexican Population

(1) Background: obesity is a global public health problem; various factors have been associated with this disease, and genetic factors play a very important role. Previous studies in multiple populations have associated a gene with fat mass and obesity (FTO). Thus, the present work aims to identify and determine associations between genetic variants of FTO with indicators of overweight and obesity in the Mexican population. (2) Methods: a total of 638 subjects were evaluated to compile data on body mass index (BMI), the percentage of body fat (%BF), the waist circumference (WC), the serum levels of triglycerides (TG), and food consumption. A total of 175 genetic variants in the FTO gene were sampled by a microarray in the evaluated population, followed by association statistical analyses and comparisons of means. (3) Results: a total of 34 genetic variants were associated with any of the 6 indicators of overweight and obesity, but only 15 showed mean differences using the recessive model after the Bonferroni correction. The present study shows a wide evaluation of FTO genetic variants associated with a classic indicator of overweight and obesity, which highlights the importance of genetic analyses in the study of obesity

Demographic history and genetic structure in pre-Hispanic Central Mexico

International audienceAridoamerica and Mesoamerica are two distinct cultural areas in northern and central Mexico, respectively, that hosted numerous pre-Hispanic civilizations between 2500 BCE and 1521 CE. The division between these regions shifted southward because of severe droughts ~1100 years ago, which allegedly drove a population replacement in central Mexico by Aridoamerican peoples. In this study, we present shotgun genome-wide data from 12 individuals and 27 mitochondrial genomes from eight pre-Hispanic archaeological sites across Mexico, including two at the shifting border of Aridoamerica and Mesoamerica. We find population continuity that spans the climate change episode and a broad preservation of the genetic structure across present-day Mexico for the past 2300 years. Lastly, we identify a contribution to pre-Hispanic populations of northern and central Mexico from two ancient unsampled “ghost” populations
