Early high-sensitivity troponin elevation in predicting short-term mortality in sepsis: A protocol for a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Background: Sepsis is a common admission diagnosis in the intensive care unit (ICU). The Sepsis-3 consensus associates sepsis diagnosis with acute organ dysfunction. In these patients troponin elevation is a well-established phenomenon, but its clinical significance is not settled, as no systematic review has addressed the prognostic significance of the increasingly prevalent high-sensitivity troponin assays in acute organ dysfunction setting.

Mexican Clinical Practice Guidelines for Adult Overweight and Obesity Management.

Purpose: To develop Mexico's first methodologically rigorous clinical practice guideline for the management of adult overweight and obesity. The target audiences are interdisciplinary healthcare professionals across healthcare systems who are the first point of contact for patients with obesity in Mexico, patients, and health system decision makers.

Recent Findings: A review of recent international obesity clinical practice guidelines and an expert consensus process identified: i) common recommendations appropriate for implementation in Mexico and ii) knowledge gaps requiring the formulation of new recommendations.

Effectiveness and safety of the tetravalent TAK-003 dengue vaccine: a systematic review.

In Argentina, the dengue virus has experienced an increase in recent years. This study aims to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the TAK-003 tetravalent dengue vaccine in this context. A systematic review of randomized controlled trials comparing the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine with placebo in the general population was conducted.

[First Case report of Lawsonella clevelandensis Infection in Latin America and literature review].

Lawsonella clevelandensis is a gram-positive anaerobic bacillus, partially acid-fast, belonging to the order Corynebacteriales and is considered commensal of the skin and oral cavity. In recent years, few cases of infection by this microorganism have been reported, generally in immunosuppressed patients, with the most reported clinical presentation being the generation of abscesses. The isolation of this bacterium is difficult since it does not grow in traditional cultures, so its identification usually requires the use of molecular biology.
