Modelling the Unidentified Abortion Burden from Four Infectious Pathogenic Microorganisms (, , , and ) in Ewes Based on Artificial Neural Networks Approach: The Epidemiological Basis for a Control Policy.

Unlabelled: Unidentified abortion, of which leptospirosis, brucellosis, and ovine enzootic abortion are important factors, is the main cause of disease spread between animals and humans in all agricultural systems in most developing countries. Although there are well-defined risk factors for these diseases, these characteristics do not represent the prevalence of the disease in different regions. This study predicts the unidentified abortion burden from multi-microorganisms in ewes based on an artificial neural networks approach and the GLM.

Identification of Chlamydia trachomatis genotypes in newborns with respiratory distress.

Co-infection between genotypes of the human papillomavirus and in Mexican women.

Not all human papillomavirus (HPV) infections develop into cervical cancer (CC), so it is proposed that other factors may influence this, such as co-infection with (CT). To identify the prevalence of co-infection, we included 189 women with suspicion of HPV. Viral typing was performed by carrying out the Roche HP Linear Array test, while CT detection was performed with the COBAS® TaqMan® 48 kit from Roche.

Prevalence, concordance and reproductive sequelae after Chlamydia trachomatis infection in Mexican infertile couples.

There are few concordance studies on the Chlamydia trachomatis (infection among infertile couples. The objective of this research was to know the prevalence, concordance and reproductive sequelae that couples may develop when both partners show a C. trachomatis infection.

[When to perform the screening for Chlamydia trachomatis during pregnancy?].

In this letter to the editor, we discuss the detection and the association between abortion and Chlamydia trachomatis infection. Further, we comment on the difficulty in selecting the appropriate gestation trimester for the diagnosis of infection by this pathogen.

A randomized controlled trial comparing isosorbide dinitrate-oxytocin versus misoprostol-oxytocin at management of foetal intrauterine death.

Background: The metabolic activity of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) and the medical use of nitrovasodilatory drugs like isosorbide dinitrate have been shown to be potential inducers inducers of cervical ripening prior to surgical evacuation of the uterus.

Objective: To assess the therapeutic efficacy and safety of combined isosorbide dinitrate-oxytocin in the management of intrauterine foetal death (IUFD).

Methods: Sixty women with IUFD after 20 weeks of gestation requesting uterine evacuation were randomly selected to receive isosorbide dinitrate gel solution (80 mg/1.

Obtaining an ELISA test based on a recombinant protein of Chlamydia trachomatis.

Chlamydia trachomatis is considered as a public health problem due to its high prevalence and increased rates of gynecological disorders. The major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of this bacterium is the most abundant protein in its membrane and has been evaluated not only as a vaccine development candidate but also is used in many diagnostic tests. The MOMP weighs 69 kDa and contains four variable segments (VS 1-4) separated by constant regions.

Prevalence of Infection Diagnosed by Polymerase Chain Reaction in Female Sex Workers in a Northern Mexican City.

Purpose: We aimed to determine the association between infection and female sex work, and the association between sociodemographic, obstetric, and behavioral characteristics of female sex workers and infection.

Methods: Through a case-control study design, we studied 201 female sex workers and 201 age-matched women without sex work in Durango City, Mexico. DNA was detected in cervical swab samples using polymerase chain reaction.

Human Papillomavirus Infection in Female Sex Workers: A Case Control Study.

Background: To determine the association of infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) and the occupation of female sex worker; and the correlation of infection with HPV with sociodemographic, clinical and behavioral characteristics of female sex workers.

Methods: We performed a case-control study of 217 female sex workers and 354 women without sex work in Durango City, Mexico. We determined the prevalence of infection with HPV in cervical samples of women using polymerase chain reaction, and HPV genotypes were determined using line probe assay.

[Prevalence of genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection in women attending in the National Institute of Perinatology from Mexico City].

Background: Endocervical infection by Chlamydia trachomatis is considered one of the leading causes of infertility worldwide. During pregnancy, it can lead to serious complications such as premature rupture of membranes and premature births.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of genital infection by C.

Identification of a new variant of Chlamydia trachomatis in Mexico.

Introduction: Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the main etiological agents of sexually transmitted infections worldwide. In 2006, a Swedish variant of C. trachomatis (Swedish-nvCT), which has a deletion of 377bp in the plasmid, was reported.

Use of the mtrR Gene for Rapid Molecular Diagnosis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Identification of the Reduction of Susceptibility to Antibiotics in Endocervical Swabs.

Background: Neisseria gonorrhoeae is one of the main etiological agents of sexually transmitted diseases. The asymptomatic course of the infection and its resistance to antibiotics can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility.

Objectives: We developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test using the methyltetrahydrofolate homocysteine methyltransferase reductase (mtrR) gene to identify N.

Adherence of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale to chicken embryo lung cells as a pathogenic mechanism.

Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale is a bacterium that causes respiratory disease in birds and it has been isolated in countries with a large poultry production, including Mexico. The pathogenicity mechanisms of this bacterium have not been completely elucidated yet. The capacity of the bacterium to adhere to epithelial cells of chicken in vitro has been evidenced, and since this bacterium has been isolated from the lungs and air sacs of several avian species, the aim of this study was to determine if this bacterium can adhere to chicken lung cells.
