Cancers (Basel)
December 2023
The global burden of cancer is on the rise, with varying national patterns. To gain a better understanding and control of cancer, it is essential to provide national estimates. Therefore, we present a comparative description of cancer incidence and mortality rates in Mexico from 1990 to 2019, by age and sex for 29 different cancer groups.

Background: Reliable national estimations for blindness and vision impairment are fundamental to assessing their burden and developing public health policies. However, no comprehensive analysis is available for Mexico. Therefore, in this observational study we describe the national burden of blindness and vision loss by cause and severity during 2019.

Article Synopsis
- Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a severe post-COVID-19 condition characterized by fever, widespread inflammation, and possible organ failure, resembling other syndromes like Kawasaki disease.
- Two case studies report children with MIS-C presenting with severe symptoms such as respiratory distress and refractory shock; one tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies while the other did not.
- Early recognition of MIS-C's atypical features is crucial for effective treatment and improving patient outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed clinical samples from 22 states in Mexico between 2004 and 2011 to examine the strains responsible for infections.
- A significant 66% of the isolated 144 strains were found to belong to the pandemic O3:K6 clone, indicating widespread presence across most states.
- Most strains showed high resistance to ampicillin, but low multidrug resistance; consistent surveillance is deemed essential for public health and to prevent future outbreaks.
Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, has spread quickly worldwide, causing millions of cases and thousands of deaths. Some risk factors in the general population are related to the development of severe COVID-19 or death, but in pregnant women and neonates, the information is limited.
Objective: To determine the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of pregnant women and neonates diagnosed with COVID-19 by RT-PCR and serological tests, and analyze the relationship between the influenza vaccination and COVID-19 symptoms in infected pregnant women in Sinaloa state.
