Parallel prediction of dengue cases with different risks in Mexico using an artificial neural network model considering meteorological data.

In 2022, Mexico registered an increase in dengue cases compared to the previous year. On the other hand, the amount of precipitation reported annually was slightly less than the previous year. Similarly, the minimum-mean-maximum temperatures recorded annually were below the previous year.

Comparison of an artificial neural network and Gompertz model for predicting the dynamics of deaths from COVID-19 in México.

The present work is focused on modeling and predicting the cumulative number of deaths from COVID-19 in México by comparing an artificial neural network (ANN) with a Gompertz model applying multiple optimization algorithms for the estimation of coefficients and parameters, respectively. For the modeling process, the data published by the daily technical report COVID-19 in Mexico from March 19th to September 30th were used. The data published in the month of October were included to carry out the prediction.

Metabolic Activity of Anthocyanin Extracts Loaded into Non-ionic Niosomes in Diet-Induced Obese Mice.

Purpose: Anthocyanins (ACNs) are polyphenols that might reduce pathological processes associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and other chronic diseases, but their bioavailability is still controversial. In this study, the metabolic activity of oral delivery of ACN-loaded niosomes was investigated and evaluated in a diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice model.

Methods: ACNs extracted from Vaccinium Meridionale by the supercritical fluid extraction method were loaded in niosomes.

Painful Myoclonus Triggered by Lateral Antebrachial Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment at the Brachioradialis Muscle.

Compression of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve is a rare clinical entrapment syndrome often overlooked as an initial etiology of pain. We present a case of an episodic upper limb painful movement disorder (myoclonus) in a 16-yr-old adolescent girl with a remote history of a surgically stabilized supracondylar humeral fracture who was later found to have entrapment of the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve. The incidence of a painful myoclonus triggered by a peripheral nerve entrapment is unknown.

[Leishmania (leishmania) mexicana in the village of San Matias, municipality of Gomez Plata, North West of Antioquia, Colombia].

Introduction: Leishmaniasis is found in natural foci of infection where both sand fly vectors and mammalian reservoirs of Leishmania are present.

Objective: To report for the first time the presence of Leishmania (Leishmania) mexicana Biagi, 1953, in the village of San Matías, municipality of Gomez Plata, Department of Antioquia.

Materials And Methods: The parasite was isolated from a patient with localized cutaneous leishmaniasis and was identified by the immunofluorescence technique using specific monoclonal antibodies against L.
