Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed 4.57 million visits related to dermatomycosis in Colombia over a decade, focusing on demographic data and visit frequency, intensity, and rates across different regions.
- - Key findings showed that adult females, particularly in urban areas, were most affected, with the Amazonas department reporting the highest visit rate, while Nariño had the most intense visit frequency per person.
- - The research highlights that dermatomycosis is a significant health issue in Colombia, often overlooked compared to chronic diseases, leading to high treatment costs and persistent health challenges in vulnerable regions.
Article Synopsis
- - Occupational hand and wrist injuries (OHWIs) represented 20.3% of 2,101 work-related accidents treated in a Colombian hospital, predominantly affecting men aged around 31, especially in the mining industry.
- - Most injuries involved the right upper extremity, with common types including contusions (42.1%) and lacerations (27.9%), primarily impacting the phalanges of the first finger.

Article Synopsis
- - Asymptomatic carriers (AC) of SARS-CoV-2 play a crucial role in the COVID-19 spread, making early diagnosis vital for pandemic control.
- - A study analyzed 76,162 ACs using national COVID-19 data, finding that younger age (≤26), male sex, and cases imported from various countries significantly increased the likelihood of being an AC.
- - The research highlights important sociodemographic factors related to ACs, aiming to enhance mass screening strategies and reduce transmission risks.
