Lack of Effects of the Genetic Polymorphisms of Interleukin-10 in Clinical Outcomes of COVID-19.

Interleukin-10 () gene polymorphisms have been associated with severity and outcomes in patients with respiratory and nonrespiratory viral infections. The aim of this study was to assess whether rs1800871 and rs1800872 polymorphisms of gene are associated with the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 in a Mexican population. Study subjects were 193 COVID-19 patients.

Phenotypic traits of carbon source utilization in environmental strains isolated from river water.

in the environment have evolved genetically to maintain a stable cell metabolism. Nevertheless, a lack of common nutrients (such as glucose) causes these strains to metabolize alternative carbon sources. In this study, 21 strains of Oranienburg isolated from subtropical river water were evaluated to compare their adaptation and preconditioning abilities for the consumption of environmental carbon sources (ECS).

Time of ureteral ejection of sodium fluorescein in the cystoscopic assessment of ureteral patency in patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Objective: To evaluate the time of ureteral ejection of intravenous sodium fluorescein in the assessment of ureteral patency in patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).

Material And Methods: Fifty-four women undergoing TLH were studied in a public teaching hospital in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. They underwent cystoscopic evaluation of ureteral patency after intravenous administration of 100 mg of sodium fluorescein.

[Comparative analysis of diagnostic scales of acute appendicitis: Alvarado, RIPASA and AIR].

Introduction: Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical disease in emergency surgery, however, it remains a diagnostic problem and represents a challenge despite the experience and the different clinical and paraclinical diagnostic methods.

Objective: To evaluate in a comparative way the scale of Alvarado, AIR and RIPASA to determine which one is best as a diagnostic test of acute appendicitis in our population in order to arrive to an accurate diagnosis in the shortest possible time and cost.

Method: Observational, prospective, transversal and comparative study of 137 patients to whom the scale of Alvarado, AIR and RIPASA was applied, who entered the emergency service of the Civil Hospital of Culiacán (México) with abdominal pain syndrome suggestive of acute appendicitis.

Association of Intron-2 Variable Numbers of an 86-bp Tandem Repeat-Polymorphisms of Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Gene and Idiopathic Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion.

Background: It has been proposed that abnormal modulation of inflammatory response is involved in the physiopathology of idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortion (iRSA). Factors that may participate in this process include the genetic background such as carrying specific polymorphisms of genes with functional effects.

Objective: The objective is to study the association between iRSA and the frequency of intron-2 variable number tandem repeat-polymorphisms of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene (IL1RN).

Bowel obstruction secondary to deep infiltrating endometriosis of the ileum.

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the ileum is an uncommon lesion that may be severe in its clinical presentation. Its diagnosis is challenging in the absence of a gynecological history of endometriosis and because of its anatomical location. We read the article by Sánchez, Candel, and Albarracín, and now report an additional case that was managed urgently.

Differences in carbon source utilization of Salmonella Oranienburg and Saintpaul isolated from river water.

Long-term exposure to river water by non-indigenous micro-organisms such as Salmonella may affect metabolic adaptation to carbon sources. This study was conducted to determine differences in carbon source utilization of Salmonella Oranienburg and Salmonella Saintpaul (isolated from tropical river water) as well as the control strain Salmonella Typhimurium exposed to laboratory, river water, and host cells (Hep-2 cell line) growth conditions. Results showed that Salmonella Oranienburg and Salmonella Saintpaul showed better ability for carbon source utilization under the three growth conditions evaluated; however, S.

Health-related quality of life in adults with irritable bowel syndrome in a Mexican specialist hospital. A cross-sectional study.

Background: Evidence shows the negative impact of irritable bowel syndrome on the quality of life of patients who suffer from the condition as compared to the general population.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the health-related quality of life in adults with irritable bowel syndrome who are receiving treatment at a specialist hospital.

Material And Methods: The study had a cross-sectional prospective design.

Regression of gastric intestinal metaplasia after the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection in a hospital in Mexico.

Background: Intestinal metaplasia is a precursor lesion of gastric cancer. Infection by Helicobacter pylori is the principal cause of metaplasia. While evidence of the regression of metaplasia after treatment to eradicate this infection has been demonstrated, controversy remains with regard to this subject.

Comparison between unidirectional barbed and polyglactin 910 suture in vaginal cuff closure in patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy.

The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of barbed unidirectional vs. polyglactin 910 suture in vaginal cuff closure on patients submitted to total laparoscopic hysterectomy. From November 2011 until March 2012, a prolective, comparative, longitudinal, non-randomized study was performed on patients submitted to total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).

Inadequate prescription of chronic consumption of proton pump inhibitors in a hospital in Mexico. Cross-sectional study.

Introduction: PPIs have been an enormous therapeutic advance in acid-related diseases. However, it has been detected an abuse in its consumption. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of inadequate prescription of chronic use of PPIs in outpatients in a speciality hospital.

Effect of body mass index on clinical outcomes of patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of normal body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) and obesity on clinical results among patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).

Methods: In a prospective study at the Civil Hospital of Culiacan in Sinaloa State, Mexico, data were compared from 209 patients who underwent TLH between July 6, 2009, and December 30, 2011. The following primary variables were analyzed for 77 normal BMI patients, 82 overweight patients, and 50 obese patients: procedure duration, operative bleeding, major and minor trans-operative complications, length of hospital stay, and postoperative pain.
