Background: Breast cancer occupies first place in mortality by neoplasms in women in Mexico; mammography screening (MS) interpreted by BI-RADS (Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System), allows suspicion of malignancy, which will be confirmed when having the histopathological result (HPR).
Objective: o evaluate whether suspicious findings for breast cancer in MS are associated with malignant HPR in women aged ≥ 40 years.
Material And Methods: Observational, analytical, cross-sectional, prolective study.
Background: Inflammatory indexes can reflect the severity of serious diseases such as acute leukemia (AL), which is why they can predict mortality.
Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of mortality of inflammatory indexes during the remission induction stage in patients with pediatric AL.
Material And Methods: Observational, longitudinal, analytical and retrolective study.
Background: Adolescent pregnancy may be associated with medical complications related to the biological immaturity of the mother, and adult primiparous mothers may present perinatal outcomes associated with pre-existing age-related chronic changes.
Objective: To compare unfavorable perinatal outcomes in adolescent and adult primiparous women.
Material And Methods: Observational, cross-sectional, retrospective and analytical study.
Background: More than 120 million women worldwide want to avoid pregnancy, but most are not using contraception. This could be because they may not have received clear instructions on how to use the method properly, may not have obtained the most appropriate method for their needs, or may not have been aware of the side effects.
Objective: To compare the acceptance of family planning methods (FPM) in women attended for childbirth, caesarean section, and curettage.
Background: Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most common surgical emergency in children. Assessment scales improve the timely detection of cases.
Objective: To evaluate the association of the Pediatric Appendicitis Scale (PAS) with hospital stay (HS) and postoperative complications of appendectomy.
Background: Recent studies have confirmed the relationship between some inflammatory indexes and preeclampsia (PE); however, they have not been analyzed in PE with and without severity criteria.
Objective: To know the association between inflammatory indexes and the severity of PE.
Material And Methods: Analytical cross-sectional prolective study.
Background: Critically ill newborns (NB) are susceptible to serious complications due to their immature immune system.
Objective: To know the prognostic utility of inflammatory indexes in critically ill NBs.
Material And Methods: Observational, analytical, longitudinal, prospective study.
Background: Appendicitis is the main cause of acute surgical abdomen in pediatrics. Delay in the diagnosis implies serious consequences.
Objective: To know the utility of inflammation markers for predicting complicated acute appendicitis (CAA) in children.
Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a medical and social problem that has a great impact on the quality of life of women. Pelvic floor muscle strengthening exercises have been shown to be a form of conservative treatment. However, there is still high failure in this treatment.

Violence against women can lead to physical injuries, impaired mental health, and specific chronic diseases. In some cases, such types of violence can even result in disability or death for some victims.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Anomalous adhesions of the placenta, known as placenta accreta and its variants, are the cause of obstetric hemorrhages that put the pregnant woman at risk. Accretism is strongly associated with a history of uterine surgery (cesarean section, myomectomy, curettage), as well as ultrasonographic signs, such as the presence and size of placental lacunae, loss of the placenta/bladder interface, location on the anterior face of the placenta, and presence of Doppler flow; these markers can be assessed by prenatal ultrasound.
Objective: To analyze the association of prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta by ultrasound with the histopathological result using the Tovbin index.
Background: Women in advanced maternal age (older than 35 years of age) are at higher risk of obstetric complications and adverse perinatal outcomes than younger women.
Objective: To know the maternal and perinatal morbidities associated to advanced age in pregnant women.
Material And Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study.

In neonatal intensive care units across the world, premature neonates are exposed to a very stressful environment with high levels of noise, bright lights, pain, infections, invasive procedures, and a lack of maternal contact. Stress is manifested by increased cortisol levels and clinical signs of stress. To assess the impact of Vimala massage on (1) salivary cortisol levels (primary outcome) and (2) clinical signs of stress (secondary outcomes) in premature neonates.

Obesity can lead children and adolescents to an increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. A diet supplemented with Plantago psyllium has been shown to be effective in reducing LDL-C and IL-6 in adolescents. However, there are no studies that have explored small-dense LDL (sdLDL) or HDL subclasses.

Objective: Evaluate if the administration of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) at a low dose reduces its presence.
Methods: Comparative, cohort study.
Background: Adhesion molecules in sepsis syndrome are correlated with the severity of illness and may be considered as predictors of survival outcome in adults. However, only few studies have been performed in infants and none using international criteria for sepsis.
Objective: To determine whether adhesion molecules during the first 7 days of the disease could predict sepsis outcome and its severity.
