Prevalent coinfection and associated factors for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus in patients submitted to renal replacement therapy: A cross-sectional study of 21 dialysis units in the State of Mexico.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) predispose to viral coinfections in patients submitted to renal replacement therapy (RRT); nevertheless, few reports have been performed to elucidate the current epidemiology within this population in Mexico.

Aim: To estimate the prevalence of HBV, HCV, and HIV coinfection and to explore factors associated with prevalent coinfection in patients living with renal failure undergoing to RRT.

Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional recruitment across 21 units at the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) at the State of Mexico was performed during 2019.

Bibliometric analysis of research reports: IMSS Southern Research Forum.

IntroducciÓn: La Coordinación de Investigación en Salud del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social promueve acciones para la realización del Foro Sur de Investigación en Salud del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (FSIS-IMSS), entre las que destacan la presentación de reportes de investigación.

Objetivo: Analizar la actividad científica del FSIS-IMSS de 1995 a 2018 a través de los reportes de investigación publicados en el marco del Foro Sur.

Material Y MÉtodos: Estudio bibliométrico de los reportes de investigación publicados.

O-serogroups of multi-drug resistant cervicovaginal Escherichia coli harboring a battery of virulence genes.

Multi-drug resistant cervicovaginal Escherichia coli (CVEC) infections are a serious health problem. The aim of this study is to determine the patterns of virulence genes, antibiotic resistance and O-serogroups of CVEC isolated in Mexico. Two hundred strains of CVEC were isolated from women attending two Clinics at the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social.

Introduction: In 2000, malignant tumors were responsible for 12% of nearly 56 million deaths that occurred in the world from all causes.

Objective: To determine the incidence of cancer in a Cancer Care Unit of IMSS in Toluca, Mexico.

Material And Methods: Prospective cross-sectional study; we identified the primary tumor, age, family history of cancer, comorbidities, risk factors, and ECOG in patients with newly diagnosed cancer.

[Epidemiological pattern of breast cancer mortality in Mexico State].

Background: breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of death secondary to malignancy in women. It ranks third in mortality in women in reproductive age, produced by non-modifiable (genetic and hormonal) and modifiable factors. Our objective was to describe and analyze the epidemiological characteristics of deaths from BC in the State of Mexico.

[Frequency of risk factors in breast cancer].

Background: One in eight women has risk to developing breast cancer in long life (12.2%) one out of each 28 is in risk of death by this disease. The most recognized risk factors are hormonals, genetics and environmentals.
