Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the Modified Merle d'Aubigne-Postel Score and the Harris Hip Score to assess functional outcomes post-acetabular fracture treatment over 9 months, highlighting previous inconsistencies in score classification.
- - In a cohort of 23 patients, the results show a strong correlation of 89% between the two scores with no significant differences over the follow-up period, indicating they are reliable indicators of recovery.
- - While both scores exhibit excellent correlation in short-term evaluation, the agreement for clinical classifications is lower, suggesting that the simpler scoring system may be more practical for widespread use.
Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the main cause of chronic liver disease. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an important predictor of NAFLD. Due to the increase of MetS in Mexico, a population-based cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of NAFLD.

The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Mexico City and its relation with some cardiovascular risk factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted.
Background: Measurement of far wall common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCAIMT) has emerged as a predictor of incident cardiovascular events. The Cardiovascular Risk Factor Multiple Evaluation in Latin America (CARMELA) study was the first large-scale population-based assessment of both CCAIMT and cardiovascular risk factor prevalence in 7 Latin American cities; the relationship between CCAIMT and cardiovascular risk markers was assessed in these urban Latin American centers.
Methods: CARMELA was a cross-sectional, population-based, observational study using stratified, multistage sampling.
Objective: Assess the impact of the undergraduate internship in the overall clinical competence and indicators on students who graduate from medical school.
Material And Methods: We performed a prospective comparative study among 56 medical students enrolled in undergraduate internship at public secondary care hospitals. We administered an ad-hoc instrument used to measure clinical competence at the end of their undergraduate studies and internship.
Objective: To compare the clinical aptitude in preeclampsy and eclampsy attention in medical personnel that work in first level of attention.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional, prospective comparative study was performed to compare the clinical aptitude in pre-eclampsy and eclampsy attention in family practice physicians. A questionnaire comprising four clinical real cases, that belong to maternal death cases developed in the previous year of the study, was applied to 77 doctors that work at a familiar medicine unit.
