[Validation of the instrument "Infant Malnutrition and Feeding Checklist for Congenital Heart Disease", a tool to identify risk of malnutrition and feeding difficulties in infants with congenital heart disease].

Introduction: currently, various tools have been designed to timely detect the risk of malnutrition in hospitalized children. In those with a diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD), there is only one tool developed in Canada: Infant Malnutrition and Feeding Checklist for Congenital Heart Disease (IMFC:CHD), which was designed in English. Objective: to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Spanish adaptation of the IMFC:CHD tool in infants with CHD.

[Epidermolysis bullosa in children: a retrospective study in a reference hospital].

Background: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a genodermatosis caused by mutations in the proteins of the dermal-epidermal junction, altering the epithelial cohesion, and generating blisters and shedding of skin and mucous membranes.

Objective: To describe the demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as the main complications of patients with EB attended at the National Institute of Pediatrics, in Mexico City.

Method: An observational, descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study was conducted in patients under 18 years of age with diagnosis of EB.

[TNF-alpha, C-reactive protein and serum adiponectin modified in infertile patients with insulin resistance].

Background: Women's reproductive potential is closely related to nutritional status. Some of the molecules that participate in ovarian regulation are produced in the adipose tissue, and therefore their production is associated with adiposity.

Objective: To determine serum leptin, adiponectin, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha in infertile women with or without insulin resistance; and to associate these molecules with adiposity.
