Seroprevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi among children from Veracruz, Mexico: Epidemiological baseline for a control model based on Chagas disease active transmission
Conclusions. These results indicate recent transmission of T. cruzi in these communities and allow to establish an epidemiological baseline for the design and implementation of a model focused on geographical areas with active transmission to advance toward the elimination of intra-domiciliary vector transmission of this parasite in Mexico.PMID:38648342 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.7126 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Severe adenovirus infection outbreak in Colombia: Experience from a tertiary pediatric hospital in 2022
Conclusion. In 2022, there was an outbreak of severe adenovirus infections, affecting mainly children under five years of age, with higher-than-usual mortality.PMID:38648343 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.7047 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

A hospital management algorithm for acute poisoning by Paraquat ® in a pediatric population, a series of cases
We describe a case series of 14 pediatric patients from the department of Cauca, Colombia, with acute intoxication after oral intake of paraquat. Patients were referred to a medium-high complexity hospital in southwestern Colombia and treated according to an institutional protocol for acute paraquat poisoning. Acute paraquat poisoning after oral ingestion is associated with a high mortality rate, even with timely medical attention, as the compound has no known antidote and quickly reaches systemic concentrations for fulminant poisoning. Based on the available literature, our center has proposed a clinical protocol includin...

Vitamin D-associated genetic variants in the Brazilian population: Investigating potential instruments for Mendelian randomization
CONCLUSIONS: More research is needed to validate sound proxies for vitamin D levels in Brazil, for example, prioritizing GC rather than VDR.PMID:38648345 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6972 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Standardization and validation of a high-efficiency liquid chromatography with a diode-array detector (HPLC-DAD) for voriconazole blood level determination
CONCLUSION: The selectivity and chromatographic purity of the obtained signal, the detection limits, and the standardized quantification make this method an excellent tool for the therapeutic monitoring of patients treated with voriconazole.PMID:38648347 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6959 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Incidence of metabolic bone disease in neonates under 32 gestational weeks at the Hospital Universitario de Santander in Colombia
CONCLUSION: Establishing an early intervention in patients with metabolic bone disease enhancing risk factors, such as low weight and prolonged parenteral nutrition, is critical to prevent severe complications.PMID:38648348 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6926 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Infectious etiology and indicators of malabsorption or intestinal injury in childhood diarrhea
CONCLUSIONS: Childhood diarrhea can lead to increasingly severe nutrient deficiencies. Steatorrhea is the hallmark of malabsorption, and a stool test, such as the acid steatocrit, can be routinely used as a laboratory tool for the semi-quantitative evaluation of fat malabsorption in diarrheic children.PMID:38648349 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6913 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Newborn screening in Colombia: The experience of a private program in Bogot á
Conclusions. Abnormal hemoglobin causes the most frequent monogenic disorder in the world. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is the most common enzymopathy affecting nearly 400 million individuals worldwide. Since both disorders are more common in people of African descent and confer some resistance to malaria, we believe that screening for both disorders may be more relevant in the areas with African ancestry in our country.PMID:38648350 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6911 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Comparative analysis of health-related fitness in patients with acute versus chronic Chagas disease
CONCLUSION: The results suggest lowered functional capacity and reduced respiratory and peripheral muscle strength in patients with Chagas disease, although no differences were observed between groups. The early increase in heart rate during exercise in the chronic Chagas disease group implies a greater myocardial overload.PMID:38648351 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6892 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 δ sublineages of the second wave of 2021 in Antioquia, Colombia
Conclusions. This study identified that the AY.25 sublineage has a transmission advantage compared to the other δ sublineages. This attribute may be related to the presence of the L452R and P681R mutations associated in other studies with higher evasion of the immune system and less efficacy of drugs against SARS-CoV-2.PMID:38648352 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6862 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)
