Article Synopsis
- The study examines the complexity of teeth anatomy, especially focusing on C-shaped canals and radix entomolaris, which impact the effectiveness of root canal treatments.
- Using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), researchers identified the prevalence and types of these anatomical variations in a sample of 2173 teeth from a Mexican population.
- Results showed that C-shaped canals were more common in second mandibular molars, with a significant gender difference in prevalence, highlighting the importance of understanding these variations for improving endodontic treatment success rates.
Objective: To determine the seroprevalence of immunoglobulin (Ig)G and IgM antibodies and its association with the characteristics of the study population from the northern Mexican city of Durango, Mexico.
Methods: Through a cross-sectional study design, inhabitants of Durango City, Mexico were surveyed between June 2018 and November 2018. Serum samples from the subjects were analysed for anti- IgG and IgM antibodies using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of () infection in pregnant women in Matehuala City, Mexico; and the associated risk factors.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Setting: Matehuala City, Mexico.
The link between Toxoplasma gondii infection and multiple sclerosis remains controversial. In the present study, we aimed to determine the association between T. gondii seropositivity and multiple sclerosis.

Design: Case-control study.
Setting: Cases and controls were enrolled in Durango City, Mexico.
Several studies have revealed a negative association between blood lead levels and hematological impairment. In this cross-sectional study, we examined the relationship between blood lead levels and hematological indices in 292 pregnant women from Durango, Mexico. Apparently healthy pregnant women, aged 14-41 years and at 3-41 weeks of gestation, were recruited between June 2007 and May 2008.
