Hippocampal Volumetry as a Biomarker for Dementia in People with Low Education.

Background/aims: To evaluate the relationship between hippocampal volume and cognitive decline in patients with dementia due to probable Alzheimer's disease (AD), amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and education, and the possible relationship between cognitive reserve and education in this population.

Methods: From February 2013 to October 2015, 76 patients (25 men, 51 women) were classified according to the NIA-AA diagnostic criteria. We used two 3.

[Prehospital cardiac resuscitation in Queretaro, Mexico. Report of 3 cases. Importance of an integral emergency medical care system].

In Mexico, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a health problem that represents 33,000 to 150,000 or more deaths per year. The few existent reports show mortality as high as 100% in contrast to some international reports that show higher survival rates. In Queretaro, during the last 5 years there were no successful resuscitation cases.

[An update on the secondary prevention of cerebral infarction due to atrial fibrillation].

Stroke is the second most common cause of death in the world and produces a high number of cases with neurological dysfunction. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the main risk factor in patients with cardioembolic stroke. In Mexico, there are approximately 850,000 patients with AF.

The C677T polymorphism of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene is associated with idiopathic ischemic stroke in the young Mexican-Mestizo population.

Background And Purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated that a common polymorphism in the gene encoding 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is associated with an increased risk for stroke. However, this relation remains controversial. Our aim was to investigate the possible association between the C677T polymorphism in the MTHFR gene and idiopathic ischemic stroke in the young Mexican-Mestizo population.

[Morbidity and mortality by ischemic heart disease and stroke in Mexico. 2005].

Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death and disability in México. 25% of deaths under 60 years of age are related to chronic degenerative diseases. These disorders are more common in developing countries and are caused by an excessive intake of fatty acids, sodium, alcohol, tobacco consumption and decrease in physical activity.
