Frequency of lower extremity artery disease in type 2 diabetic patients using pulse oximetry and the ankle-brachial index.

To determine the of undiagnosed lower extremity artery disease using the pulse oximetry in a type 2 diabetic population sample. Observational, cross-sectional, descriptive study that included 594 type 2 diabetic patients, with no previous history of lower extremity artery disease. Medical history, physical examination, determination of the ankle-brachial index (portable Doppler) and measurement of oxygen saturation in upper and lower extremities (pulse oximeter) were performed.

Algorithm Formalization for Decision Making in Influenza Vaccination.

Influenza is an important public health problem with consequences on the health of people, but also at the state level with social and health costs due to the morbidity and mortality produced. Vaccination is an act of care of high clinical complexity, which can be learned and trained, so that decision-making in vaccination requires elements of judgment that act logically in a cascade. The creation of algorithms and their implementation in computer systems will identify susceptible people more quickly and improve the competence in the administration of vaccines.
