Background: The distribution of , , , , and in the pediatric population with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in many countries of Latin America is largely unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the frequency of these fusion genes in children with AML from Mexico City, which has one of the highest incidence rates of acute leukemia in the world. Additionally, we explored their impact in mortality during the first year of treatment.

- A study focused on the prevalence of genetic rearrangements associated with a good prognosis in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Mexico found lower rates compared to Caucasian populations.
- Researchers developed a new TaqMan RT-qPCR method to assess four specific genetic rearrangements in Hispanic children with ALL from Mexico City.
- The findings revealed a low prevalence of these rearrangements (7.7%, 3.3%, and 2.8%), aligning with previous studies on Mexican and Hispanic children, highlighting the need to further understand genetic factors in ALL among diverse populations.
Disinfection of N95 masks artificially contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 and ESKAPE bacteria using hydrogen peroxide plasma: Impact on the reutilization of disposable devices.

Introduction: One of the serious consequences of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is the shortage of protective equipment for health personnel. N95 masks are considered one of the essential protective equipment in the management of patients with COVID-19. The shortage of N95 masks implies potential health risks for health personnel and significant economic losses for the health institution.
