Association between medication adherence and health-related quality of life among type 2 diabetic adults in Mexico.

Purpose: Previous evidence suggests that non-adherence to medication among patients with chronic diseases might negatively affect their health-related quality of life (HRQoL); however, the evidence in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is not conclusive, and information is scarce in the Mexican context. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between medication adherence and HRQoL among Mexican adults with T2D.

Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on a sample of 320 adults with T2D.

Prevalence of Academic Burnout Among Nursing Students: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Nursing students are prone to academic burnout (AB) as the result of frequent exposure to stressful situations. AB is associated with physical and mental health problems; thus, identifying the burden of AB is crucial for prevention. This review sought to estimate the global prevalence of AB among nursing students.

Exposure to the pesticide DDT and risk of diabetes and hypertension: Systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies.

Background: Experimental evidence suggests that p,p'-DDE might be involved in the development of diabetes and hypertension (HTN); however, the evidence in humans is inconclusive.

Objective: To summarize the epidemiological evidence for the association of p,p'-DDT exposure and its breakdown products with the risk of diabetes and HTN from prospective studies.

Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement.

Interaction between MTHFR 677C>T, PON1 192Q>R and PON1 55L>M polymorphisms and its effect on non-recurrent spontaneous abortion in Mexican women.

MTHFR is a key enzyme in folate metabolism. Some genetic polymorphisms code for a less efficient enzyme, increasing serum concentrations of homocysteine. This has been associated with inadequate feto-maternal circulation and increased risk of spontaneous abortion.

Effect of exposure to p,p´-DDE during the first half of pregnancy in the maternal thyroid profile of female residents in a Mexican floriculture area.

Background: Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene (p,p´-DDE), the main metabolite of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), has been associated with changes in human thyroid hormone levels. Maternal thyroid hormones are essential for adequate fetal neurodevelopment during the first half of pregnancy.

Objective: To evaluate the association between maternal p,p´-DDE concentration and the maternal thyroid profile during the first half of pregnancy.
